Romans 12:17-21 & 13:1-8

ytbg, what happens if the gov (ordained by God) goes corrupt? God's law is higher wouldn't you agree. tribute in the form of tax isn't due to our gov't. churches are a "mandatory exception" as far as taxes are concerned...

[ytBG]

Yes, I absolutely agree God's laws are higher, and just because God mentions paying tribute to whom it is due, this does not mean the nefarious INCOME tax individuals are paying to the henchmen IRS is lawful. That is only possible because people have voluntarily yoked themselves to the system via social security, and God hates his people being numbered, by the way. Perhaps a video about that coming soon. As for this one, it is purely a reading people wrongly start at Romans 13:1 instead of 12:17

This was Hitlers favorate passage"fact".You must realize Gods Rulers is not mans.Paul was not speaking of government he was speaking of who your authorities are of the kingdom of God.This is very important to understand.Or the outcome can be fatal.

[ytBG]

This passage correctly starts at Romans 12:17 and actually talks about how Christians are to let the Lord take vengence for the wrong that is done to us. No doubt Hitler and the likes use this wrongly interpreted to further enslave ignorant people, but still we will have to suffer the government's wrath when we abide by God's authority over man's.

Sorry about the thumbs down hit by mistake!

I know that you said in your comments that this video is a study from God's Word and not ment to be a political statement. I cannot help but think of all the times the Bible states that there will be false prophets to decieve the church, and that many will be decieved.I have come to the conclusion that if God's holy institution founded by the Lord can be lead astray by the wrong leadership, than surly a human organization like the government can be corrupted from inside. What do you think?

[ytBG]

Romans 3:10-18 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (11)There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. (12)They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

[ytBG]

(13)Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: (14)Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: (15)Their feet are swift to shed blood: (16)Destruction and misery are in their ways: (17)And the way of peace have they not known: (18)There is no fear of God before their eyes.
