I Pledge Allegiance To Jesus Christ

I live in the United States of America , and I am a Christian .

Jesus Christ is my Lord and my God , and I worship Him only , not this nation or Flag .

I am a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven , and thus , I am an immigrant , an illegal alien , waiting for my King to return to rule His Kingdom .

Read Revelation chapter 3 verse 12 ,and chapter 21 verse 2 .

Some people proclaim God Bless America. Why? Why not proclaim God Bless All Nations .

Nowhere in God's Word , the Bible, does God proclaim that He will bless America .

God does promise to bless the nation of Israel , reed Romans chapter 11 , when she finally turns back to God, and accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior , but , until the people living in nation of Israel repent and accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior, the Church which is all true believers and followers of Jesus Christ are God's Chosen People, not the Jews .

Read 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 9 and 10

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light, Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy .

The founding fathers were Christians, or so it has been said. They fled England, in part, to have religious freedom .

If our founding fathers truly wanted us to be One Nation Under God they would have written our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, into the Constitution, and leave no doubt as to which God they were referring to .

The fact is that most of our founding fathers were Freemasons, who denounce Jesus Christ as God ,

One of them , Thomas Jefferson, physically removed any reference to Jesus Christ being God in his Bible .

Jesus Christ created all people and all things, read John, chapter one, New Testament .

Jesus loves all of us, more than we can ever comprehend, and all that he asks of us, is to love Him more than anyone or anything, (that includes the nation we are born in, live in, or move into), and to love your neighbor as you love yourself .

These two commandments, that come directly from Jesus in the New Testament, completely override the ten commandments from the Old Testament read Matthew Chapter 22 verses 36 thru 40 .

Jesus teaches us to be humble in all things, but we in America teach our children to be Proud to be an America .

We cannot be both humble and proud at the same time, and still please our Lord and Saviour; Jesus Christ. Jesus said Satan is the god of this world, but fear not, I have overcome this world, at the cross.

The Bible tells us that the world would turn away from God in the end times, right before Jesus returns to set up His Kingdom, reed Matthew: Chapter 24 .

Jesus did not tell us to try to fix the world, but instead, try to save people from the world, by inviting them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and accepting the free gift of Salvation that is God's Grace and your faith , believing that Jesus paid the price for all of of our sins .

That is all that Jesus commands us to do, along with living our lives for Jesus, and obeying His command to love Him and ALL people .

To read His Words daily, the New Testament .

To take care of His Sheep, to feed , house , clothe , care for, etc , reed Matthew Chapter 25, verse 31 thru 46 .

Jesus never commanded his followers to defend Him or themselves with violence.

All of the 12 Apostles died agonizing deaths , without putting up any resistance , except for John, who spent his last days imprisoned on an island , for God's purpose of writing the Book of Revelation , and God's Word somehow managed to reach the whole world anyway .

Throughout history, man has tried to spread God's Word through violence, force , and war, but , the only way to receive God's free gift of Salvation, is through free will, not force.

Therefore, all wars fought in the name of God, were not fought for Jesus, but instead , they were fought for Satan, because Satan is the god of THIS world .

If you choose to follow Jesus , you must live by his words and teachings , that is the rule for all followers , to follow their leader, and do what the leader commands .

Anyone who claims to be a Christian , a follower of Jesus Christ, must do what Jesus commands .

How should we know what Jesus commands of those who would follow Him ?

Only by reading His Words in the New Testament .

The first book in the New Testament is the book of Matthew , one of the four Gospels , anyone can pick up this book and read for themselves the Words of Jesus in chapters 5, 6, and 7, and then decide for themselves how to be a follower of Jesus Christ , and how to tell if someone else is following Jesus or Satan by their words or actions .

Peace and Maranatha .

One thing to remember is that Paul is NOT outlining his "theological view of the state" in Romans 13. If anything, it is an imminently practical exhortation on how to deal with Rome in their present time. In Paul's view, it was not a good trade-off to limit the spread of the Gospel by joining tax resisters - which would *at the time* seriously damage the Christian reputation and potentially get many of them jailed and killed. Many were willing - and did - become martyrs for the sake of the GOSPEL, but it didn't mean they sought it out to make a political statement.

There are plenty of other passages of Scripture that indicate that though the powers that be are not outside of God's plan, they are still of evil origin. See Genesis 10 (origin of the State is rebellion to God), Matthew 4 (Satan clearly has a hold on the kingdoms), and the book of Revelation (the powers are against God).

"Christians would not have to try to live a difficult life as outlaws from the government, he was making it easier to live a Christian life."

But the verses in romans 13 specifically state that

1. The government powers are ordained by God
2. The government power is good and that they execute wrath upon people that do evil (I.E. counter-economists)

How do you escape the fact that Paul is calling worldly government and worldly law good?

[Tony Soldo]

I have struggled with this chapter many times, and as a somewhat cynical person in regards to worldly authority, I almost think the Paul is a shill for the Roman Government, as well as a hypocrite, because Paul was arrested and imprisoned for violating many roman laws and he was beaten and tortured many times by the Roman government, and he wrote most of the books in the New Testament while in prison. I resist the urge to believe that Paul was a shill or gatekeeper.
My opinion is that Paul did not want new believers and followers of Jesus Christ to challenge the authority of the Roman government , or to try to overthrow the worldly government system, because he knew that all governments are temporary and the final worldly government will be ruled by the Antichrist and will fall when Jesus Christ returns to take back His Planet from Satan, who has been given temporary control over all worldly governments by Jesus Christ.
I believe that Paul is being consistent with the teachings of Jesus in telling the believers to subject themselves to the powers of the worldly government so that they would not be martyred, and that Christians would not have to try to live a difficult life as outlaws from the government, he was making it easier to live a Christian life.
Jesus said give to Ceaser what is Ceasers and give to the Lord what is the Lords, and you cannot serve both God and Mammon, you must love the one and hate the other, you cannot serve both God and mammon, which is a reference to the world.
My point is that a true Christian should hate this world system and at the same time involve himself in it just enough to get by, without seeking power from this world system.
Every person who chooses to follow Jesus Christ must decide to what degree he will follow Him and to what degree he will follow this worldly system of governments, corporations and religions.
Unfortunately, most Christians are following the world and rejecting Jesus Christ, but Jesus said wide is the path to destruction and many will find that path , but narrow is the gate to Heaven and few will find it.
Peace.

I am an Atheist and I don't believe that Anarchy is compatible with certain verses in the bible. What is your opinion on Romans 13?

1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3For 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:

4For 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.

5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
