What Does Christian Libertarianism Look Like?

But were scribes and Pharisees political leaders? I thought they were writers and lawyers and such.

So when you look at Romans 13 and Obama, what do you think?

So given my previous comment:

Finally, there is no context to God's commands where morality is concerned or where salvation is concerned.

Do you believe that Romans Chapter 13 falls into either the rubic of morality or salvation?

Or do you realize that God would never ask you to obey the commands of an immoral government, for example, one that commanded you to kill your babies?

Furthermore, if you believe that Romans 13 should be taken literally, you'd probably have sided with the British in the Revolutionary War and the South in the Civil War, since both were the established governments at the time.

Like I said before, most of the Bible, where Morality is concerned and Salvation can be taken literally; there is no context involved, it is black and white, there is no gray area, except for those looking for an argument and/or an excuse for not listening to the plain meaning of God's commands.

Some commands are easier to judge than others. Remember, many people considered the war in Iraq immoral. (I'm not saying I did, I'm just saying that what constitutes immoral is often a judgment call, and even believers don't always agree.)

Sorry, I don't ascribe to that form of relativism where my Lord and Savior is concerned.

His commands are simple and straightforward and those playing the moral jeopardy games are listening to the Holy Spirit in their lives.

Jesus, (and I paraphrase) said he would send his Holy Spirit and He would teach us all things we needed to know.

For unimportant things, sure, you and I can disagree, however, for anything important where Christ is concerned, if we are disagreeing about something, one of us is wrong, and the Bible is the judge and jury with respect to who is right and who is wrong.

' This walk with Christ is not meant to be difficult or complex, it is our our sinful nature that makes it complex, not God, his Bible, or the Leading of the Holy Spirit.
