Rom 13:1 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.

Rom 13:2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.

Rom 13:3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.

Rom 13:4 The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.

Rom 13:5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

Rom 13:6 Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do.

If the government does evil in the event of making laws that are against the laws of God he will punish them and repay them for their wickness.

If we are to live by the laws of the land in which we live it would be a good idea to know what those laws are. I do not not think it would be adding too or taking away from scripture to have the constitution in a Bible as the Holy scriptures are already encased into a single set of books from Gen to Revelations.

I wonder what it’s going to be called. NTB+ (New Trump Bible)

As long as its clear that the bible is the bible alone, and trumps words or other words shown therein are simply other good words that "God fearing people" put forth to try and keep nations from becoming corrupted. Its not evil that other words are there within the front and back covers, as long as its made clear that scripture is scripture, and the other words are simply other words that men believe to be "truth".

No good can come from it.

Trump is a shameless grifter selling out of copyright materials for an inflated price.

Mixing up the American constitution, bill of right and pledge muddies the waters as to what is scripture and what is not

If anyone seeks to read the Bible, there are already reasonably priced copies in every bookstore.

You are not able to be objective concerning trump, address the issue, not your feelings on the man.

I am able to be objective. I have looked at the facts, and together they stack up to indicate that he's a shameless grifter.

Pedalling "patriotic Bibles" for profit is a pretty cheap stunt.

Nothing wrong with selling bibles.
Nelson and others have been doing it for decades

Is his name on the front as if he wrote it?
If anything, you should all be concerned about that woman "preacher" Joyce Meyer who IS selling Bibles with her name on the front.
Last I checked a high majority of authors if not every one puts their name on the front as well as the spine with the title.

The Bible the Holy Word of God, is a living and life changing book like no other, we shall not add adding politics of a country laws , I wonder why, is the Bible only for America? of course not.

Why does he not just sell Bibles with out adding to it?? makes me wonder for sure.

I have seen Trump talk about the Bible many times, but I have also seen when asked to identify and talk about his favorite verse that he would not, that is a strange, when given a huge platform and given a opportunity to talk about your favorite verse and actually not doing so, I can not imagine a person filled with the spirit not rejoicing to talk about there favorite verse in book that he calls his "favorite book". Is that the same thing as denying Christ before men I wonder????

Could be just a marketing ploy to sell Gods Holy living word with the laws of a country?? like I said the Bible is not a American bible
we belong to heaven, we do not belong to the USA ,the Bible is a spiritual matter, the laws are a civic matter not be confused with each other and not to be mixed with each other. We are only passing through, do not get attached to this world !!

I respect those who see this in a different view, I do not have to agree with everyone to know and love my brothers in Christ.

New International Version
No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.

Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.

English Standard Version
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

Berean Literal Bible
No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of this life, that he might please the one having enlisted him.

King James Bible
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

New King James Version

him.

I'm not going to get it.
I have three different versions and I'm not a collector of books.
If he puts in a foreward, preface, or something and is NOT adding to Scripture then it's extra fluff.
The company that prints the books by definition adds to the book's format but not to scripture.
If anyone can clarify in this that would be good.

I understand you are from Canada. Are you not?
Just wondering, how do feel about Trudeau. I’m anxious to see if you are a leftist or not.
For someone who doesn’t live in the States,you sure like putting your nose in our politics.

You can find out where I'm from in my profile. Don't be anxious about my political views: I lean to the left. I don't know much about Justin Trudeau, and have no strong opinion on him.
