RE: The Curmudgeon's Bible - What Are The "Governing Authorities" of Romans 13:1?
I think it is important to read much of the scriptures with open yet suspicious eyes. I think those of us blessed with the ability to analyze and reason should do so. At some point, after we've collected enough information and opinions, I think we come to an understanding of what God wants from us. I think he has empowered us with the gift to do that. I think we sometimes have great difficulty accepting what we know in our heart to be true.
I think I say "I think" too much, but I do not think I think too much.
Hello, @moeknows,
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment.
Understanding and acting on the scriptures is a life-long discipline and challenge.
This is why we need to interact with others who also respect the scriptures. We also need to allow the scriptures to change our outlook on life.
