More END TIMES REBELLION: The Attacks on Romans 13

Attacks on Romans 13

BEWARE!

Any time a supposed “man of God” spends time attacking God’s Word.

The True Meaning of Romans 13, part 1, 2, 3 by Chuck Baldwin – Our old friend Chuck Baldwin is back and–as always–Chuck is attacking Romans 13:1-8 and trying to persuade Americans to rebel against their government.

Of course, Chuck is attacking what the Bible says by appealing to history, the U.S. constitution, the “rebel culture” of the USA and anything else he can think of.  That’s because Baldwin in one of the many frauds pretending to be a Christian.

“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. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
—Romans 13:1-2

One can tell the tares from the wheat by their attitudes toward Romans 13. Do they preach rebellion, revolt and revolution and try to justify it? Do they spend much time trying to persuade that the clear Word of God means something other than it’s clear meaning says?

One suspects what really rankles Pastor Chuck and his rebel followers are the Bible’s commands to submit to the civil authorities. Rebels HATE to submit. This hatred of submission oozes from the writings of Chuck Baldwin and his associates.

Regardless of what lines Baldwin tries to con readers with, there is no greater example of how Christians are to behave then Jesus Himself.

No one was more unjustly delivered up to the civil authorities than Jesus Christ.  And what was Jesus’ response to Pilate?

“Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.”
—John 19:11

Readers have a choice: follow Jesus or Chuck Baldwin.

Most readers will no doubt follow Pastor Chuck.

But still, this writer is commanded to warn them nonetheless.

“An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.”
–Proverbs 17:11

HAS the reader been deceived by wolves in sheep’s clothing preaching rebellion?

THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3

American Rebel or Child of God: Make Your Choice

THE AMERICAN REBEL IS NO CHRISTIAN

CHRISTIANS SUBMIT TO CIVIL AUTHORITY

REBELS ARE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE

Americans are taught from an early age to worship rebellion.

Many American Christians wrap the flag so tightly around their Bibles, it’s impossible for them to open them.  Which makes them worthless.

It’s suspected there’s a time coming when American Christians will be forced to make a choice: either be an American rebel, fighting against the civil authorities (which the Bible expressly forbids) OR be a Christian and submit to civil authority, whether one agrees with it or not.  Americans want to have it both ways–but they will be forced to make a choice.

The Right to Resist Evil Leaders The Christian History – It’s always amusing when pretend Christians takes a whack at interpreting the Bible. Oddly enough, they almost always to try and discredit what the Bible says. This is another example of that taking place in one of the Corporate Media’s (Satan’s Mouthpiece) favorite games: Let’s try and discredit Romans 13 so we can rebel!

This is little wonder as Lucifer was the original rebel.

The media has tried any number of tactics to discredit a very clearly written passage which states that Christians are to obey the civil authorities whether they agree with them or not.  There have been attempts to “prove” to Christians that Romans 13 doesn’t pertain to “tyrants” or “evil rulers.”  There’s some of that going on in this article as well.

The media has tried the “American exclusion clause.”  That one goes: Hey, we’re Americans and we didn’t obey the Bible the first time around and look at how great it turned out for us!  Yeah, just look.

They’ve tried the Obama Rule: The Bible is talking about everyone except Obama, he’s the antichrist!

The media attacks Romans 13 because it is the clearest–but by no means only–Bible verse on the subject.

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. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
–Romans 13:1-2

That’s pretty clear, huh?  Resist the civil authorities, and receive damnation. The reason for this is pretty clear also: God rules all and sets up whom he will.

“”For the kingdom is the LORD’S; and he is the governor among the nations.”

—Psalm 22:28

Rebel against the civil authorities and you are rebelling against God Himself.  Of course, the American rebel (who has been indoctrinated by satanic public schools, education systems and entertainment/media) does NOT want to hear this.

The American rebel/pretend Christian will usually trot out Acts 5:29 about Peter saying “We must obey God rather than men.”

And God’s Word is not silent on the subject: You want to obey God, obey the authorities.  Peter was not talking about the civil authorities anyway.  That would have been the Romans.  He was referring to the Jewish religious authorities.

Yeah, Peter had to deal with the same type of fake pretend religious people that true believers have to deal with in 2014. But again, the rebels don’t read their Bibles–except to look for opportunities to twist Scripture.

Of course, Satan’s Mouthpiece has much to say about that very clear meaning of Romans 13:1-2.  But there are plenty of other Bible verses which essentially tell the Christian the same thing: God puts who he wishes into power for whatever end He determines. We are not to rebel or resist the powers that God has installed. This includes authorities with which we don’t agree.  Here’s a few other verses which the Romans 13 attackers don’t bring up.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1 Samuel 15:23

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.“
–1 Peter 2:13-16

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;“
–1 Timothy 2:1-3

“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,“
–Titus 3:1

“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government [authority].“
–2 Peter 2:9-10

“My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:”
—Proverbs 24:21

“Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.”
—1 Peter 2:17

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.”
—Mark 12:17

There are at least a dozen Scripture verses commanding Christians not to rebel against the civil authorities. No wonder the Corporate Media guys only want to take on Romans 13.

WHAT’S A CHRISTIAN TO DO?

IF the government commands a Christian to break one of God’s laws (for instance, to murder) then the Christian is not to obey.  He’s not to take up arms; he’s not to fight the authorities; he’s not to join a rebellion:  he simply does not obey.  If the government comes for the Christian because of his disobedience, he can flee.

NO WHERE in the Bible is the Christian given permission to rebel against civil authority. Which is one reason American “patriots” wave the Bible around rather than read it.  Flags with serpents were very popular with the colonial rebels.  Wonder why?

Every time an article of the type found at the link is published (a very regular occurrence) this writer has to look up the various scriptural commandments about obeying civil authority.

That meant it was time for an article on the subject.

Americans can be rebels or they can be Christians.  They cannot be both regardless of what line the Corporate Media is pushing.  There will be no end of pretend Christians who will insist they can have it both ways.  And there will be no end of pretend Christians listening to them.

James 5:6-7 puts it plainly.

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

Does this mean the Christian is a coward (or any of the other names the world uses?)

No.  The Christian believes and places his faith in the Word of God, not men with schemes; not rebels with smooth words attempting to undermine the clear words of the Bible; not antichrist agents of Satan who pretend to be Christians to lead believers into disobedience.  True believers places their faith in God to avenge the wrongs a corrupt government might visit upon them.

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
—Romans 12:19

There will be plenty in the apostate American Church who will place rebellion ahead of God and try to have it both ways.  They are deceived.

It’s very simple.  Make your choice: Jesus or rebellion; eternal life or eternal damnation.

Those who do not agree: take it up with God–because you will be.

Maybe one of the media guys will show up to plead your case!  Maybe he will use all of the same arguments of men he uses now and will change God’s mind! Maybe even one of the guys trying to get you to join in the revolution will show up to explain to God why your disobedience was really okay because you were an American!

Wonder who will win that argument?

America as a Christian Nation: Lies about America’s Past

When is civil disobedience allowed for a Christian?

Romans 12 – An article by a defiant writer who calls himself a Christian, but declares he will not obey God’s Word.  He is not alone in America, a land that was born of rebellion.

Clearly, rebellion is wrapped up with the sin of pride. Christians are to submit, but Pride does not willingly submit. America long ago specialized into turning sin into virtue.

Pride was one of their very first projects.
