Should We Submit To The Government?
from VERSED · host John Lawhon
Paul wrote Romans 13 to the church in Rome while Nero was the Emporer and the Coliseum was in its peak glory. Nero, who would eventually behead Paul, who would crucify disciples Peter and Andrew on an upside-down cross and an x-shaped cross and would make some Christians into human torches and use them to light his garden parties. Think about that contextually. When Peter mentioned “submitting to authorities” THIS is who he is talking about. Obviously, Nero puts even the worst of American politicians into perspective. If you would like to dive deeper into this, or other verses in the Bible, if you have a verse you would like to submit to have included in a future episode if have questions about the Bible that you would like answered in a bonus episode, or simply want to connect with me... text VERSED to 88474 or click here Also included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well.
