Some Blog Site

Here is a guest post I wrote for SCL back in the day (2011 in case you’re wondering). It wasn’t run because I didn’t actually write a full blog post for Jon, I just sent him an outline of ideas. But I decided to fill it out and present it to you today.

Here is the headline I came up with:
Christians shouldn’t own radar detectors, and other fine points of Romans 13

I don’t really have much to the body of this post, other than to note some things about laws and speeding. But I do remember that a college professor I had said something about the American revolution being un-Christian, because it was rebelling against the established/recognized ruler.

My take on that was that it would have been un-Christian for the leaders of the American revolution, but to the average person in the colonies, maybe not. Because as a citizen of a land, if the old government gets overthrown and a new government is established, you would be within the guidelines to obey the new government. And if your conscience told you to obey the old government until they abdicated their control of your land, that too would be within the guidelines.

But I hope that none of you readers ever has to be in the position to have to make that choice.

And that really strayed off the topic of radar detectors.
