Jesus hates hypocrisy. We are not Romans. God either ordained our government or He didn't. Either repent to the King of England for your forefathers rebellious act and leave or realize your interpretation creates a contradiction and you are living in hypocrisy. God is the ultimate Authority over all governments; and in America, God ordained The People, the highest authority, the People give their consent to be governed and have a duty and responsibility to remove that consent and establish a new government if that government does not uphold its duties. "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - I guess God ordained an evil form of government for America.

When someone quotes John Calvin, a murderer, to give credence to their "holy" interpretation, you have the epitome of hypocrisy, unfortunately, even Trewhella, makes this mistake in his latest election sermon.

If your interpretation of God's Word creates a contradiction of God's Word in other verses, you are the problem.

"If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." Roman 12:18

I am not advocating unjust violent rebellion, nor do I support any presidential candidate. Our problem is professing Christians sitting and staying under stupid "pastors" or wolves and not being good Bereans. Our problem is our own hypocrisy. It's the number one excuse I receive from unbelievers for not coming to Christ, mind you, they too are hypocrites. However, they are not the ones professing to be the Christians.
