Scripture is plain that Christians are supposed to submit to the governmental authority they find themselves under; be it the unholy Roman Empire and being thrown to the lions, or the tyranny of the English crown and being taxed without representation in the 1700’s. Our duty is to pray for the authorities, not rebel. Were our forefathers then not ‘in sin’ in rebelling against the then present legal authority, the King of England? And if so, then does that mean we are bastard nation in God’s eyes? (that would explain a lot)
