ROMANS 13 & CHRIST'S "CLERGY RESPONSE TEAMS"
January 21, 2009
Pastors across the country have been called on by the Department of Homeland Security to join “Clergy Response Teams” in order to placate and control the people of America in the event of local or national emergencies. Jeff Ferrell, a reporter for KSLA in Shreveport, claimed that “For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm the public down or to obey the law is the bible itself, specifically Romans 13.” This idea was affirmed in the report by Dr. Durell Turberville who was quoted as saying, "because the government is established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture."
actually, i read Brother Gregory Williams' article and he seems to have a grip on how romans 13 should be translated...
he says
"Pastors need to reexamine what they have been led to believe the authors of the Gospel are actually saying. If not, then the people need to reexamine the scriptures and maybe their pastors. " and
"From the beginning , our Creator has allowed that men have the power to choose to be free souls under God or go under the authority of other men and their gods. That choice is never without consequences. We are not faithful to God unless we choose to accept the inherent and correlative responsibilities of those Natural Rights He has individually endowed upon all mankind."
which i take as a hopeful sign of clergy attitudes....

"because the government is established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture."I always thought it was the people who established government
