Remember Christ Jesus didn't fight against the Roman or Jewish authorities even though it led to His murder. Even Stephen died at the hands of an offended mob. So perhaps that is what the apostle Paul is implying in a round about way in this chapter since Christ pointed out to Pilate that His followers, unlike the nations of this world, don't fight or kill others. As Christians we follow the One who showed us by His death that we ought to be willing to lay down our lives for our faith rather than take the lives of others who disagree with us especially when it may happen at the hands of those who hold positions of authority over us and are corrupt since God will ultimately bring them to account be it in this life or the next (John 18:36).

There was nothing wrong with exchanging pagan coin for Temple coin and the Romans were good with it.<br /><br />On the other hand, it also shows that the Apostle Paul never heard of this Jesus or his actions. <br /><br />I recall asking my Presbyterian minister why Jesus did not honor the Romans/Temple types in this story according to Romans 13 but the answer must not have been memorable.

It is probably one of the biggest lies in the NT and obviously written by one who had an agenda with or fear of the Romans.<br /><br />Submission to Governing Authorities<br />Romans<br />13 Let EVERYONE be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except EXCEPT THAT WHICH GOD ESTABLISHED. The authorities that exist have been ESTABLISHED BY GOD. 2 Consequently, WHOEVER rebels against the authority is rebelling AGAINST WHAT GOD has instituted, and those who do so will BRING JUDGEMENT ON THEMSELVES. 3 For rulers hold NO TERROR for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is GOD"S SERVANT for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are GOD"S SERVANTS agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.<br /><br />6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."<br />DennisCDiehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417850852638492246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-9118126270540929762012-12-22T03:22:28.517-08:002012-12-22T03:22:28.517-08:00“When this nation supports a leader that belongs t...“When this nation supports a leader that belongs to [or a faction of] the Great Harlot church, who follows a false prophet, then destruction is on the way! <br /><br />Of course, one has to block out Romans 13 which tells all the compliant types that government and leaders are put there by God himself. Leaders are there for our good and only punish the wicked. They carry the sword for good reasons .<br /><br />I don't know who wrote this tripe or when it was inserted into the text to get Christians to be good Roman citizens, but it is there and always ignored if Christians hate the government or leaders, which they usually do.<br /><br />Romans 13 was telling Christians to understand GOD put Nero, Claudius etc where they are so don't fight them.<br /><br />In the NT, it was fine to bash those who could not really hurt you...the Jews. But it was stupid to bash those that could kill you...the Romans. Thus we have all the kissy kissy Roman scriptures.<br /><br />Mr. King is an idiot that needs counseling and meds, however we don't want the meds to make him worse.DennisCDiehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417850852638492246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-47792909077119024982012-12-21T22:10:24.860-08:002012-12-21T22:10:24.860-08:00When this nation supports a leader that belongs to...<i>When this nation supports a leader that belongs to [or a faction of] the Great Harlot church, who follows a false prophet, then destruction is on the way!</i><br /><br />The only conclusion is that the Great Harlot church is the Cult of Herbert Armstrong (CoHA) and the false prophet is Herbert Armstrong.<br /><br />I guess we can now figure out why the UCG has so many money problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
