Well, that stopped the clock, but, now for a serious question ... |

As a Christian or any kind of believer, "Do you believe that your first duty is to your God or to the President/ruler of your nation, and what do you do if you truly believe that your President/ruler is not doing God's will in something? Who do you choose - God or the President/ruler"
Please - no lists of names!

Since God established all governments, He is first.
By established He doesn't mean that He controls or always approves. He will judge ALL rulers as they come before Him.
But He does establish governments so that there will be a restriction of evil and lawlessness.
In the past I have voted against presidents who have gone against what is good for the people of our country. But even that is always choosing the "lessor evil" since there is none that is righteous and always does right.
I vote as a citizen, though I am guided as a Christian.
But whether every ruler who has ever been knew or knows that God is their ruler makes no difference. They are all subject to His justice. He is the only God. |
