Adam or Obama, Resist or Submit?

          It is said that Romans 13 tells us to submit to our government 
          leaders, but what about when Obama places a gay activist in authority 
          over schools teaching our kids how to try gay sex, or our taxes are 
          used to butcher infants worldwide, or Pelosi laughs at the thought of 
          adhering to the Constitution? 
          Submission. If Eve had followed Adam, she would not have led him to 
          eat the fruit. When we take matters into our own hands, Satan gains a 
          foothold.
          But wait.
          If Adam told Eve to teach their children "fisting" and gay sex with 
          each other, should she obey? If Adam told her to lie down while the 
          doctor scrapes out her womb and aborts her children, should she obey? 
          If Adam told Eve her parents are a blight on society, should she send 
          the doctor away and watch them die? And if Adam had forbid her from 
          speaking the word of God in the garden, or to even mention His name 
          because it was public ground, should she obey?
          To think that Adam would do such things is abhorrent and 
          illuminates the actions of President Obama as he leads our nation into 
          darkness. Appointing thugs into positions of power, bowing and 
          apologizing to terrorists, naming Israel’s land as "illegitimate" when 
          Israel has paid for that land many times over. There is evil churning 
          from the Oval Office, and far too many of us stand by and do nothing 
          because of Romans 13, but read it carefully:
          
            1 "Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there 
            is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 
            Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: 
            and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment. For 
            rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you 
            then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you 
            shall have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to you 
            for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears 
            not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to 
            execute wrath upon him that does evil. Wherefore you must be 
            subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake."
          
          So what did men of God do when confronted with authorities doing 
          evil? Read the Scriptures:
          
            18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all 
            nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said 
            to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you 
            more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things 
            which we have seen and heard." (Acts 4)
            17 Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to 
            him, "Is that you, O troubler of Israel?" And he answered, "I have 
            not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that 
            you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the 
            Baals. (1 Kings 18)
            "Because John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to 
            have your brother’s wife." (Mark 6) John the Baptist publicly 
            scolded Herod for which he was beheaded.
          
          Jesus overturned tables. He teaches us to be servants, but somehow 
          I don’t think He would approve of standing by clapping erasers while 
          teachers pass out condoms and porn to His children. We should submit 
          when our government submits to God, but when our government is 
          diametrically opposed to God’s laws and precepts, we must choose, are 
          we of God or of the world? We cannot serve two masters.
          Paul was not wrong, for God has given us free will in deciding 
          which "powers" to be under the authority of. If Hitler was our ruler 
          and ordered us to torture and murder the innocent, God would not 
          applaud if we obeyed while quoting Romans 13. 
          We know right and wrong. We know light from darkness. We know evil 
          works are pouring forth from the White House and we should be counted 
          as against it. 
          Or will you be a lukewarm Christian and sit on the sidelines, 
          rebuking your brother whom dares stand and be known as His own? 
          
            ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, 
            the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know your works, that you 
            are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So 
            then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will 
            vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become 
            wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are 
            wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—I counsel you to buy 
            from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white 
            garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness 
            may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you 
            may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be 
            zealous and repent." Revelation 3:16
          
          Stand up, be counted, let no one criticize you because of Romans 
          13. Rather than Eve submitting to gay lessons ramroding her children, 
          Pelosi needs to submit to the law of the land, the Constitution, and 
          stop perverting it from which to slay our children. 
          
            "For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do 
            that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: 
            for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him 
            that does evil." Romans 13
          
          A man promoting abortion, gay training, death panels, claims to be 
          Christian and can’t seem to publicly admit Jesus as Lord and Savior at 
          Christmas…let me break the news to you, this is not the minister of 
          God that Paul is speaking of.
          Far from it. America, arise and be counted. Next election, walk 
          away from the snakes.
