I hadn’t realized that AG Sessions cited Romans 13 for his excuses for his and Trump’s actions.
“Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order.”
of course, this would mean that this god is responsible for Nazis and Confederates and despots all over. And hmmm, where was this verse and calls for obedience when Obama and Clinton were president? And those TrueChristians who try to avoid paying taxes? Hmmmm…
Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no fear of the authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval; 4 for it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for the authority does not bear the sword in vain! It is the servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6 For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, busy with this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
I’m curious on what my Christian followers have to say.

Yes, the people who are so big on “respecting the office” right now were mostly singing a different song four years ago.

I read Kalki when I was in my very early teens (I read anything and everything). That was quite the eye opener. 🙂 and I must have my margaritas on the rocks.
