If the Bible doesn’t support your doctrine of men, you ignore the Bible. You would believe men that you can (or in this case, could) see and hear, rather than God, who you cannot see. Whose report shall you believe?

And, don’t get too uptight about the civil discourse. Remember I warned you that it could become criminal, rather than civil. As for me, I wouldn’t expect everyone to believe everything just exactly like I do. That would be pretty bland. I expect debate on here. I’m seldom disappointed.

But, you are right. It should be civil. Even friendly. The rumor is that we should even love one another, and bear one another’s burdens. But nobody really believes all that stuff, do they?

With all due respect, my doctrine is not of men. I said there are no conditions of Rebellion you believe there is. You don’t believe Rebellion is self will, I do. You believe it’s ok to rebel against man, I don’t! I believe in authority, God or man, and when man gets out of the will of God, it’s not something to be taken lightly. David ran from Saul, he said “I will not touch the Lords anointed” , Paul said to obey them that have the rule over you. But anything I will mention will have “conditions” on it
