[quote:Anonymous Coward 32589283:MV8yMTE1NjY4XzM1Njc1MjA1X0VDODI3OEJG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3538082:MV8yMTE1NjY4XzM1Njc1MDAzXzY2NTA5RTQ=] 1. This would only pertain to Christians. Obviously. 2. In the great United States of America, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land. The President submits to the Constitution. All government officials submit to the Constitution via oath. That being the case, if we were to believe in Romans 13 here in the US, then we are to obey the US Constitution. I'm down for that. =P [/quote] [color=darkblue][/color] OK... I agree with that. But the US government has been usurped by communists/ marxists/ progressives/ whatever else you want to call these anti-Godly people who are now our rulers. They want to nullify the Bible and the constitution. We're entering a whole new world. [/quote]
Original Message
King James Version
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
NIV
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God
NLV
Every person must obey the leaders of the land. There is no power given but from God, and all leaders are allowed by God.
Amplified Bible
Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment.
If you take the translation literally other than the KJV, you actually have no need to read and understand the Bible.
