I would like to politely ask those who are implying that rebellion is ok in certain circumstances (I am not speaking of the extreme circumstances mentioned by our brother a few posts ago): Where do you draw the line? How do you determine what is worthy of rebellion and what is not? Personally I don't think that the Scripture gives us that right as my earlier posts have shown. But where would it stop, we would always be at war because there would always be something that we don't agree with in government. I could say that Obama's foreign policy is endangering our country, so we should rebel to protect ourselves or his blatant acceptance of false religions and ungodliness puts in danger my right to worship freely in this country so we should rebel. I could go on and on and when would it stop. We would be in constant rebellion whenever we found something that we disagreed with. I don't see that logic in Paul's writings.
