Pastor Roger, a couple of ?'s

[Bible Believer]

Amongst God's people, what is it called when scripture is made to mean what it does not mean?

&

Why were God's people COMMANDED to Honour the King?

Here,

1Pe 2:17  Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

And throughout scripture.

Re-reading the adventures of king Saul and David may help you answer.

Why are you directing these questions to me in particular? Is it because you have read something that I have posted that you disagree with?

I am familiar with the story of Kings Saul and David, what is your point?

[Bible Believer]

you said,

**what is your point?**

If you wish to answer, I will then explain my point.

If you don't wish to answer, I will answer for you, the answers are the same either way.

you said,

**I am familiar with the story of Kings Saul and David, what is your point?**

The question regards the COMMAND to Honour the King, not Saul -vs- David specifically.

Your answer is in the verses prior to the one you gave.

1Pe 2:13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14  Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16  As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Forgive me – I have to interject something here:

We have someone who portends to be a complete stranger coming on the board contending that Pastor Roger is guilty of biblically unchristian activities because “Bible Believer” has different interpretations of scripture to back it up.

And “Bible Believer” is extremely angry about something and ready to get even (for what ever reason), with Pastor Roger.

“Bible Believer” – I’ve got a wonderful Christian idea:  Why don’t you judge Pastor Roger before a jury of his peers (ChristainsUnite is PR’s peers) in a fair manner as prescribed in the bible.  

WOOPS! You already cast the first stone.  Does that make you a fair and fitting judge?  I guess you think so.

Bible Believer – Judge ACTIONS – not the Heart.  Pastor Roger has never been indicted by anyone other that Satan, who has indicted us all.  

Your posts indict you before man. God told us to judge men's actions against men, acording to His commandments.

Bible Believer – you are OUT at first base.  You are now chin-deep in hypocrisy.  Careful!! – don’t drown!
