I will say both men gave religous examples, but not in the support of political action. I would say that both could be considered negative example in that part of their lives, but...[URL=http://https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+6%3A14-29&version=NASB]]]Mark 6:14-29[/URL]
One can surmise many things from the life of both men, and for me anyway, politics should leave a bad taste in a Christian's mouth
It's not about politics Jim. It's about bringing the Word of God to bear upon the responsibilities of leaders in government, to remind that they are accountable to God both personally and professionally, whether they are believers or unbelievers. They are commanded by the scriptures to
Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
If Christians don't do this, who will?
Interesting little statement in the middle of your Matthew Henry post: "But it is better that sinners persecute ministers now for faithfulness, than curse them eternally for unfaithfulness."
God before government, and especially when a government's priorities have become its own preservation and continuity. |

summary for [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=111815122545]]]Testimony By Submission to Government[/URL]
Also there is a recommended booklet to read which you can read at the above URL as a PDF--file or see this HTML file, [URL=http://www.biblebb.com/files/CAESAR.HTM]]]Rendering To Caesar---A Biblical Perspective On Govt.[/URL] Mar 6:18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Was John the Baptist in violation of Romans 13?
How about Bishop Hugh Latimer when he preached a sermon entitled "Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge" to the adulterous English king of that day?
Let's get the biblical balance folks. |

Reading through the general gist of most of the comments makes me wonder. Do those who post here go to churches where the majority of the congregation has no desire to live for and please God? Do you think that there are not groups of believers who want to live godly lives and serve the Lord? Does not the Bible teach that those who are genuinely born from above have the seal that they depart from iniquity? Maybe it is just those who post don't go to church for various reasons. Just curious. ???????? |

Many entertainers if not most grew up going to church and hearing the pure gospel of at least a resemblance of it. They go into pagan hollywood and give themselves over to debauchery and then claim Atheism. Nothing shocking or surprising. What is shocking is the money that believers spend having the apostates entertain them. This is because the doctrine of Christian liberty either has been stretched almost to the point of breaking or is used as a cloak to justify spending the Lord's money on or partaking in any questionable activities we can't find "chapter and verse" against in the Bible. Paul directs us in Phillipians that we're to "approve things that are excellent" Where do you find these things in Disney, or Fox, or anywhere else in Hollywood for that matter? If there is any excellent thing in Hollywood you would have to dig for a long time and through an awful lot of trash to find it. It kind of boils down to the sad situation where we don't want people messing with our pet liberties. And there seems to be more individuals in the church that contend for their "right" to watch R rated flicks than to contend for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints. |

O God, no longer hold thy peace, no longer silent be;
Thine enemies lift up their head, to fight thy saints and thee;
Against thine own whom thou dost love, their craft thy foes employ;
They think to cut thy people off, thy church they would destroy.
Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, with one consent agree;
And they who with thy people strive, make war, O God, with thee;
O God who in our father's time, didst smite our foes and thine;
So smite thine enemies today, who in their pride combine.
Make them like dust and stubble blown before the whirlwind dire;
In terror driv'n before the storm of thy consuming fire;
Confound them in their sin till they to thee for pardon fly;
Till in dismay, they trembling own that thou art God most high. |
