"To everyone still upset about the supreme court ruling on gay marriage. Let me read yu a bible passage. Romans 13:1 " everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except whch god has established. The authorities that exist have been established by god."

Dues vult
If god did not will it; it would not have happened."

Yes, this is the same when Jesus said give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give unto God what belongs to God. We are to obey civil law and civil law is to stay out of the church! We are called to love everyone including our enemies. Homosexuals are not our enemies but, affording them the same love, does not mean accepting their beliefs or lifestyles! God does not will secular laws, but we are called to obey them!

Give them what they want... God will execute wrath and vengeance upon them.
Our job is to love them and speak the Word of God to the unclean spirits.

When one says I am a homosexual; the spirit has identified itself and we know what spirit we are dealing with.
Speak to the spirit... we are spirit, not flesh.
Two worlds; carnal and spiritual
As Paul said, I am caught in a straight betwixt the two.
Lord, have mercy upon us ALL.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Rom 12:20-21

Submitting to rule of government is not the same as agreeing with it. We submit to the law and follow it but we can still work and pray to get it changed. We do not hate the sinner, but the sin

I wonder .. when the 10 kings give their kingdoms to the beast. ( Rev 17:12-13; )
.. and the self imposed dictator of the earth (the beast) commands everyone to bow down and worship him and take his mark... ( Rev 13:16; )
should we still submit to the government.. even though we don't agree with it? ( Rev 14:9-11; )

We follow the laws of the land. When those laws contradict Gods ways, there is a higher law that we follow. Gods Word. We ALWAYS follow Gods Word.

God set the "offices" that have the "authority". The Authority is not in a person but the office they hold.. The Apostle Paul told Timothy "to pray that we be delivered from wicked, and unreasonable men"

2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2Th 3:2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

The prayer of "binding, and loosening" is to be used against these wicked men who are in office, and do wickedness.

God speaking through the Prophet Hosea tells Israel that they have set up Kings, but it was not by God, but themselves. God has in the past set up Kings, but also does the Devil as he copy cats God!

Hos 8:4 They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
