Romans 13:1 says, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
Were the colonists disobeying God when they claimed and fought for their independence from Great Britain? Why or why not?

ReplyDeleteNo, because they were being treated falsely. The war may not have been in Gods true intentions, but they needed to be free from the british to live a free life.

N0. I think that they were obeying God because they were fighting for their freedom. They wanted to be able to live free to worship God. They followed their heart and did what they felt was right. As a Christian we have to do what we feel is right not what the government says is right.

I think that the colonists were disobeying God because they were killing people but i also belive that they were doing what they thought they needed to do in order to get their freedom and be able to follow God.

ReplyDeleteI think you can argue that the israelites rose up against egypt, in a way. Sometimes rebellion is just and righteous, but not always. The good thing is that the new americans gave the king of england PLENTY of warning.
