op: applying God's Word to politics?
If this is in the BDF, how come there is very
little discussion of The Bible, eh?:
I believe Those verses
apply to the prophecies of [
Future ] "Great Tribulation For
Israel"
How about these, in the
Current [
Mystery ] Age Of Grace, For The Body Of Christ?:
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be
afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be
afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger
to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually
upon this very thing.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to
whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour." (Romans 13:1-7 AV)

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving
of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that
we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
[ from another forum about: ↑slandering those in authority? ]
For this is good and acceptable in The Sight of God ( Jesus Christ ) our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of The Truth"
(1 Timothy 2:1-3 AV)
Amen.
