I've been contemplating this question for some time now and just thought I would ask for your input:
The question:
Since the founding fathers claimed to establish this nation for religious freedom purposes and exemption from taxation among other things. Was the American revolution biblical and did it glorify God? Here are some scriptures to think through:
Romans 13:1-2 reads
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Next: Mark 12:17
17And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
