Obey Them that Rule???

As I was thinking about it this morning, I had these thoughts:

I think we would all agree that we obey them ONLY within the bounds of Biblical truth, we are not going to obey if they tell us to do something that is wrong. So, really, if I don't think the thing I am being ordered to do is biblical, why is that rebellion? And if I obey when I DO believe that what I am being told is biblical, then am I really "Obeying" or am I just doing what I think is right anyway?


I think there needs to be respect built first, I don’t just obey anyone because they think they are entitle to it, far to many say obey the pastor, etc here on these forums, sorry but I don’t know them, so I’m not going to blindly follow after ever wimp of their’s. I think to many are sheep and want someone to tell them what to do, it’s a lot easier then doing what God ask, “pick up your OWN cross!

Yeah I know this will go over like salt in an open wound, so be it, I'm not trying to win points here!
