Good afternoon
The relinquishing of personal responsibility is only typical of human nature. National government gets increasingly bigger as more and more citizens refuse to accept personal responsibility and thrust it upon the shoulders of the government to say, "You take care of it". This is precisely what is going on in our "free" nations today.
The passing of the buck began in the garden of Eden and since then it has never stopped. The only recourse that Humanity has left is to draw nigh unto God and we're all too busy fighting Terrorism and mock enemies to concern ourselves with what is really occuring in our own back yards to bother with acquiring the peace that passes understanding. There will be no peace.
Now the night mare is out of the corral and running free to wreak whatever havoc it wishes upon all those who have relinquished personal responsibility and those who gave control and authority to the beast that now rules them.
Citizens who would go so far as to 'take back' what is rightfully their own will not go unpunished. The monster created by successive generations of "pass the buck" voters is not so eager to give up it's lucrative indulgences as it very much enjoys the Liberty that it has usurped from the voters. It is only too happy to RULE over them.
BIG GOVERNMENT is not about to respect individual rights and freedoms, inalienable rights from God, or the rights to personal property any more than the enemy is prepared to give God the glory.
As the enemy sits in the center of the pentagram, worshipped by the world, it prepares and fortifies itself in the vision of a New World Order. In scripture we are commanded to "obey them that have the rule over [us]". Let's take a closer look at this scripture: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:17
Notice that the scripture does not tell us to obey murderers, or sodomites, or feces loving governments that deny the Living God. The scriptures do not tell us to obey anyone who is ungodly but only those rulers who "WATCH for our souls that they may do it with joy and not grief."
Any government that usurps individual responsibility, inalienable rights from God (such as the right to marry as stated in scripture), or the right to worship our Creator just as it is granted in the Bible, is NOT watching for our souls in the least bit. We need not obey Satan. We may REBEL in a godly fashion. I have said it before and I will say it again: Christ Jesus is the greatest rebel that ever lived. He utterly refused to obey Satan and it cost Him his life. We must be prepared to do the same.
Any magistrate that fails to uphold the whole of the law need not be obeyed when they compell a nation to disobey God. I very much doubt that Jesus would punish us for disobeying Satan.
The following statement holds more truth than most people realize:
" It all started with marriage licenses and the contractual agreement between the man, the woman and the state, instead of the man, the woman and God."
It is no great suprise to me that marriage was one of the criteria that Jesus referred to when He described the last days... people "marrying and giving in marriage." Since those words were spoken the enemy has set to the task of confusing marriage with a Licence to Divorce. It is precisely this process of such licencing that has given birth to a promiscuous and licentious society that continually makes merchandise of it's own children.
You will find no such precept in the scriptures: "Let them procure a licence to marry." This practice is nothing short of Satanic and pastors need to wake up and realize why this is so. Many pastors know the truth, deep down, but love the tax breaks and the pretended priveleges they think the government has granted them to conduct marriage ceremonies without considering the fact that real authority does not come from the government but from God.
