[/quote] The Bible had multiple writers from different time periods. It's been altered a hundred times at least. Obviously it would have been in the government's best interests to put this wording into the bible. [/quote] Zactly. People should read up on the formation of the early Christian Church. Lots of killing to get what was wanted. [/quote] There is only one writer of THE BIBLE! GOD! All killing was done by evil men, not GOD! [/quote] Who created the "evil" men? [/quote] No one! Men kill Men. The take after their father SATAN! [/quote] But I thought God created everything. Which is it, you don't get to pick and choose only the things that support your beliefs. Oh wait, that's EXACTLY what happened when they created your Bible! [/quote]
Original Message
Romans 13 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.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
I want to please God, but I'm having trouble accepting the part in bold.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
