Conservatives always whine that we take their shit out of context merely by quoting what they say right back to them.
^That's about it. A portion of our own government has turned on us.
Christians are to obey human law except where that human law violates God's Law. Our supreme duty is to obey God. Since God tells us to also obey human laws, we should. But, when they come in conflict, we are to "obey God rather than men."
Obey God
(Acts 5:29) - "But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men."
Obey Man
(Romans 13:1) - "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God."
(1 Peter 2:13) - "Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,"
LOL, the evil gubments breaks the commandments daily~not even worthy of discussion......
Christians were slaughtered like sheep by Rome. I would most certainly call that unjust etc etc etc.. & yet the Christians didn't revolt/riot/terrorism/did not resist etc etc etc..
IMHO they didn't even cry victim as much as some of the whiners pushing their poutRage here in the good O' USA..
They were prob to busy introducing ppl to the Christ, saving the lost, unlike today where the Church spends more time pushing laws & condemning ppl than than trying to save them...
AMEN!!!!"when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth..... " exactly

Please don't lump actual Christian practices with false Christian practices. Thank-you, I'd appreciate that. Peace.
"unlike today where the Church spends more time pushing laws & condemning ppl than than trying to save them"
May I help?
Actual Xtian practices = whatever Stretch et al declare is righteous. This includes turning their backs on the poor, the suffering, the stranger, the prisoner, the gay person. It also includes adoration and worship of Trump.
False Xtian practices = when they get caught commiting rape, pillage, murder, adultery, genocide, theft, etc. and can't lie their way out of it.
So Jesus said to care for the poor, those who hunger and thirst, the sick, the imprisoned, the strangers, etc. Is He not God? Tell us again how you justify defying that in modern times?
Now you will declare that He didn't really say that, not the way we unwashed heathens think, because out of context.

He said only if you want to.........
He also said that the gubment giving help to those that are ignored by society AND THE CHURCH, shouldn't recieve assisance from the gubment, to do so is evil in the sight of the Lord.....

Get over it already. Talk about owls or something you know about.
Jesus: You're doing him wrong.
Apparently so. There's no surprise why secularism is growing in America and Xtianity is slowly going the way of the Druids.
Knock off the preaching. I hear that Libs hate that.
Some of the liberals must not know about Christianity dying out because they keep using it to make partisan political points. They think if Jesus said something he is some kind of authority figure. Religion does determine our political views.
Sadly many of them, IMHO, have become that which they hate....
They don't come to talk about Jesus, but to talk about trump, their political party....
Not love & free will, but the laws/courts etc-like their fathers the Pharisees..
Of course it does. So does our education (or lack thereof), our parents' beliefs, friends/family/colleagues' opinions, etc.
When discussing things with those who take the word of god/Jesus literally, because they see Him as an "authority figure," we will often quote from their holy book to show that in our opinion, they are misguided, if not flat out wrong. That's when the circus really gets going, as they do contortions, back flips, and back themselves into the lions' cage trying to defend their errors.
Oh dear. I mentioned lions. How unforgiveable of me.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine that.......coming to a political forum to talk about politics!!!!
