I just hope that if McCain does become president, that you will begin to honor Sarah Palin as VP, and discontinue stirring up strife and a heart of rebellion against her. Please read the verse below.
Romans 13:1-2
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. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Anon,
I would kindly remind you that there is a gaping disctinction between “stirring up strife” and reminding/warning of the truth of God’s Word.
At the point we are more concerned with a “heart of rebellion against her” than we are with a heart of rebellion against God, we’ve already lost.
Please read the verse below:
“O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!” Deut. 5:29
Anon-
Additionally, yes, if McCain (or Obama) becomes Pres., we will submit to the governing authorities, in as much as they do not ask us to defy our God.
My posts on this subject are much like a warning I would give to a daughter who wanted to marry an ungodly man; I would do everything in my power to counsel her against it, but at the point they became one, I would be obligated to switch gears and do all I could to encourage them.
Could it be that we have a situation here where there was no “Man” qualified for this job, and that God put her there for a reason? It reminds me of Deborah in Judges. Sarah Palin appears to me to have the courage of 100 men. There are many references in the Bible of women in leadership roles.
Anon,
If Palin is a Deborah of our day, we have to assume God spoke directly to her, as he did to Deborah, the prohphetess, the only viable authority for a person to act directly against the already-written Word of God.
We would also have to swallow the truth that God would be asking Mrs. Palin to forsake her natural affections and functions as a mother in order to fulfill the position she’s in, something he didn’t ask Deborah to do.
And thirdly, perhaps most importantly, if she were a modern-day Deborah, our reaction should not be one of “she’s finally shattered the glass ceiling”, a blatantly obvious feminist remark.
Our reaction should be one of hanging our heads in shame.
