    In Romans 13:1-7, Paul discussed how we as Christians are to SUBMIT to the "higher powers" that are placed over us.

    In America, that means that we are to obey the laws of the land no matter if the Republican party or the Democratic party is in power, as long as those laws are not contrary to the Word of God.

Paul has just demonstrated that these securities on which most Jews relied are false or ...read more
