John Knox On Resistance To Tyranny, Ungodly Gov. Of course, John Knox was among the clearest on this point.
"No manifest idolater, nor notorious transgressor of God's holy precepts, ought to be promoted to any public regiment [i.e. government—GLP], honour, or dignity, in any realm, province, or city that has subjected itself to his blessed evangel". - John Knox, from "Summary of the Proposed Second Blast of the Trumpet" (1558), as cited in Greg Price, Biblical Civil Government Versus The Beast; and The Basis for Civil Resistance (free online book at http://ow.ly/l9G2i or http://www.swrb.com/newslett/FREEBOOK/GPrice.htm). |

Rutherford On Resistance To Tyranny, Ungodly Gov. One of the Scottish Commissioners to the Westminster Assembly (and one of the best theologians, by God's grace, in the history of the Church), Samuel Rutherford, also wrote,
"I lay down this maxime of Divinitie; Tyranny being a worke of Sathan, is not from God, because sinne either habituall or actuall, is not from God; the power that is, must be from God; the Magistrate as Magistrate, is good, in nature of office, and the intrinsecall end of his office, Rom. 13:4. for he is the Minister of God for thy good; and therefore a power ethicall, politick, or morall, to oppresse, is not from God, and is not a power, but a licentious deviation of a power, and is no more from God, but from sinfull nature, and the old serpent, then a license to sinne." - Samuel Rutherford, Lex, Rex, or the Law and the Prince (1644) |

John Calvin On Resistance To Tyranny, Ungodly Gov. "One factor behind this rising tension was that Huguenot political rhetoric had required a decidedly anti-royalist tone during the second and third civil wars. While Calvin’s Institution of the Christian Religion seemed to suggest that private citizens owed their obedience even to an ungodly king -- only lesser magistrates could legally oppose the authority of a wicked king -- his biblical commentaries published late in his life offered more intriguing possibilities. In his Readings on the Prophet Daniel first published in 1561, Calvin argued that when Daniel refused to obey King Darius, ‘he committed no sin’, since whenever rulers disobeyed God, ‘they automatically abdicate their worldly power’. Calvin went even further in his Sermons on the Last Eight Chapters of the Book of Daniel published posthumously in 1565. Describing the same biblical incident, Calvin argued that when Kings defy God, ‘they are no longer worthy to be counted as princes… [And] when they raise themselves up against God… it is necessary that they should in turn be laid low’."
- Mack P. Holt, The French Wars of Religion 1562-1629, (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1995, 2005), p. 78 |

Great Sermon! We better break this crazy pattern!! I just read Malachi 4:6..GOD said the fathers need to get back to the children and the children, father or else he would STRIKE THE EARTH WITH A CURSE.. are these weather patterns of tornados in TX and storms like Sandy the result?!
Hey, i have an 18 yo daughter who i want to see married to a mature young man who not only a Christian BUT A GOOD PROVIDER. Shes still a virgin, thank GOD and she goes to church at bible study and prayer twice a week on top of sunday.
Could it be possible as well, is that women wear the pants in the family, and dresses are looked on as the plague by young ladies? many women are wearing black, white, and browns for the spring and summer, not all...but the MEN ARE WEARING THE BRIGHT COLORS.. its WEIRD. something as simple as dresswear could make the difference. I remember the men in the early 70s getting scared that women were wearing pantsuites rather than dresses, and said by 40 years, men would be irrelevant. They in a way were prophetic...sigh. I wish they had 'shepherd centers in CA' |
