Too many have been taught to fear, and fear is death, forward progress stops. That is what this thread is all about... who you need to fear. Rom.13 [1] 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. [3] For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: [4] For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. [5] Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. [6] For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. [7] Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. [8] Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. [9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [10] Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. [11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. [12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. [13] Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. [14] But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. |

I want to please God, but I'm having trouble accepting the part in bold. Can anyone shed any light on this? This is a good question OP, I also struggle with this teaching. The only thing I can say is to add some further scripture and maybe some comments on that: 1 Peter 2:13-17 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. So we see in that verse that the purpose of government is to punish evil doers. If we are living a life in the Spirit and not the flesh, then we honor God. If the government is not doing it's duty to punish evil but rather enabling it, or persecuting us for our beliefs then we will suffer yes, but we do so righteously there will be reward eternally for our suffering in the flesh. So if we encounter persecution or unjust treatment from our government we are to endure it as Christ endured the cross. It's not a fun way to look at the issue but it's only thing I've got on this topic. It's also interesting to note that Satan claims dominion over all earthly kingdoms: Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” So he couldn't have offered to give Christ those kingdoms unless they were under his authority. I think the best way to go is to live life in the Spirit and not the flesh honoring God and if we suffer for doing that God promises us eternal reward (see Matthew ch 5:1-11) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71994152 They want to claim God created everything until they have to explain why all of the strife and conflict through out the history of man is God's fault due to the consequence of his creation. Then all of the suddenly you start hearing bullshit spin and backtracking that it's Satan's fault or that's not what was meant. Bullshit. I've never met an honest religious person who would come out and say, "There are some discrepancies in my beliefs". This is because most have thrown the entire meaning of their human existence into believing a lie the was created by ruling powers to manipulate a populace. To have the truth revealed would destroy them. That's how weak their minds and character are. Simple minded belief (faith) is a total failure from the get-go. It's a elixir for the feeble minded and fearful. That is because if an honest Christian said "There are some discrepancies in my beliefs", that would make them a liar. God created everything including the evil. What seems to be the problem with that passage of scripture? Why are you wanting to call that out as a strike against God? Why are all the Christians trying to make bs excuses and apologies for God's Word as if they are somehow 'wrong'? How weak is your faith in the Word. These are the same Christians that are afraid to tell you that he is going to send the reapers to gather the same evil and bind them to be burned in the Lake of Fire. Matt.13 [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Funny how you want to believe Paul when he writes passages that you can use to support the idea that the 'powers that be' seem to favor the 'Illuminati', in the minds of gullible people, but then, when called out, you run the other way and want to change the Scripture all of a sudden. the 'powers that be' referrenced by Paul here are not 'earthly powers', but 'higher powers' , the ones who can destroy your soul. Worldly powers can only kill the body. Luke.12 [1] In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

[3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76452692 A Version of something is not exact rendition. Some portions of the Bible have been altered despite warnings against doing so. Do you speak Greek and Hebrew? Speaking Greek or Hebrew is technically unnecessary to see internal discrepancies with how certain terms have been translated according to the doctrinal bias of the translators. The biggest example I'm familiar with is aion (G165, which according to Strong's can mean any duration of time or non-time you want it to). One good bible version to consider checking out is Young's Literal. |

Negative. . .I'm merely agreeing that the above assertion regarding the KJV's inaccuracy is correct. There are multitudes of believers who won't *acknowledge* "every translation" because they're tied (bound, if you will) to the King James. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74797654 Maybe, if you read THE BIBLE your sentence structure would make sense! I have been studying The Bible for 37 years. What did you not understand? I will explain it to you.. Repeat the first quote. |

They were the early church's hierarchy, and for newcomers, it was wise to listen to them, as there were a lot of false teachings even then.
