For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.


And when the ruler becomes a terror to good works, what then?

.....”when the ruler becomes a terror to good works, what then?”......

As is written and history shows time and again.... when a Godly nation defies God and turns it's back on Him they are invaded.....and it's not always militarily.

Do you mean like the Roman Emperors ? Did the Christians rise up and kill people because Caesar's taxes were too high ? No, they submitted to ordinances that did not violate the faith and were martyrs without trying to overthrow the government when the ordinances did violate the faith.
