Government??

[death]

There are those people who try and go against the government in everyway, claiming that it is against the constitution and such... However doesn't the Bible teach otherwise??

no.

[Pastormike]

The Bible teaches a "limited" submission to civil government.

There are 3 places in the New Testament that The Bible deals with civil government in detail. The passage used most often is Romans chapter 13.

Verses 3 and 4 deal with the two-fold purpose of civil government (1) To punish evil and (2) To praise good.

Even though God gives this two-fold power to civil government it (civil government) is to rule "justly" according to the principles of The Word Of God. When it (civil government) does so we are to obey but when it acts outside of it's God given juristiction we are to obey God.
