Answer 1

Everyone, the question was not weather anyone LIKED the president or not, it was about HONORING the president. A_blvr was right about leaders, to include the President.
Here is what the chapter itself says....
Romans 13:
1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

This has nothing to do with liking President Bush, or him being a Christian or not. The command from God makes no distinction on the leaders religious beliefs, or if you like him or not. It is about you honoring your leader.

Honor God by Honoring President Bush.

Answer 2

You said you stand by him and then say you don't claim to support him, you are contradicting yourself to the point of being nonsensical. As to it being a Christian duty to honor the president, why should it be, the President holds a purely secular office in a non-religious country. I refer you to the following:
1. As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion, the United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan nation. John Adams, 2nd president of the United States
2. Christianity neither is, nor ever was, part of the common law. Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States
3. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public. Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States.

Answer 3

First of all being a Christian has nothing to do on whether we Honor the President or not. God said "Honor thy Father and thy Mother" He did not say "Honor thy Bush" and I resent to the fact that you are stating that We are not Christians just because we don't honor Bush. We are all God's children with are own beliefs. If Bush was catholic I'm not going to change my religion to catholic just because he is. And who are you to judge a person on whether they are Christian or not just because your views are different from ours? You have no right to judge anyone only God does. And I hate to "bust" your bubble but God isn't going to condemn us for not Honoring Bush. And just because he might be my "brother" in your terminology doesn't mean I have to kiss his A-- to get along with him either. I don't kiss my own brother's A-- and he's an atheist so what! And how can you honestly say the President Bush is a christian? You can assume he is but have you gone to church with him? Are you him? Probably most likely not. One can say they are Christians but end up not being what they say they are. I'm not saying that our President isn't a christian, what I am saying is that you don't have the right to judge us by stating we are non christians if we don't honor our President. You need to revise your question. have a blessed day!

Answer 4

I must also point to Rom 13:4 as far as his position as President of the U.S. and Commander and Chief of the armed forces.

As Christians we do not 'honor' each other as the world understands honor; but are commanded to love one another. We are further commanded to try the spirits whether they be of God and to know the life of Christ by the fruits that it produces.

I think we all, Christian or not, need to show more respect for the office or we may be repeating an old truth proved in all human history. We either hang together or we hang alone.

Answer 5

Though I can hear a little bit of sarcasm oozing from my computer screen from this question, though George Bush may be my Christian brother, it doesn't mean that I have to agree with everything that he does or that he believes in. I can only judge him by the policies that he supports as a president. I don't support what he does as a president. I do not know him as a father, brother, son, grandson, friend, or anything else. I can only speak of what I do know about him. As a president, I don't like him, and there's really no verse that says that I have to agree with him in order to love him in christian love.

Answer 6

That was funny. How can you call yourself a Christian and honor him? Look up some of his history on line. His actions show that he is not God fearing. He has dinned w/ Ozzy Osborne, a porn star and even took a contribution from the porn industry. Don't take it from me. Look it up. He has also called himself "the war president". Honor he does not deserve. He should have said "I'm the crimes against humanity President." And again, please, please, don't take it from me...do some research of your own. There is a very funny clip of him, drunk, at a wedding. But I can't give you the site...I once tried and Yahoo wouldn't let me put another site address on Yahoo questions. Oh, and by the way, I don't have any problem w/ him drunk...it kind of made him seem more like a human being instead of a criminal.

Answer 7

The way you have phrased this question is absolutely terrifying. It makes it sound like we should honor everyone who is christian, as you said, "no matter what," even if they are doing very unchristian things. The problem is, the words "no matter what" destroy any free will or free thought, both of which are given to us by God.

By the way, I am christian. Guess who else was a christian, Hitler. Is that why the Germans needed to stand by him, good or bad?

The fact is, we can honor our president but we don't have to agree with him. I don't agree with Bush's politics but I still feel that I honor him and the position of president by respectfully voicing my differences of opinion and without slandering him as a person. I don't like his politics, but I don't have to say bad things to express my opinion.

Answer 8

First off, I highly doubt George Bush is Christian, then again I could be wrong. Most Christians have morals, and care about the well being of others, and not money, and Bush doesnt seem to be one of those people.

I think he is a pretty bad Christian, if he actually is one......

Answer 9

The President is just a man, hon. And this particular President is an idiot with the potential to start World War III who's ignoring the problems at home on his own soil.

The man isn't worth supporting. And him being Christian has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH IT. You do whats best for your country and your people.

If thats the only reason you voted for him, then its no wonder at all that things are going to hell in the US because the Christians can only seem to think with their religion, not their heads.

Answer 10

Please think of and learn in the previous you spew your your hateful speech. apparently Thomas Jefferson did very own a quran. it form of feels in all probability that he did not use it to stick to that is practices, yet as a substitute to be taught approximately our adversaries, i.e Muslim pirates from Tipoli. i could not discover Ben Franklin's courting to the quran. The immigrants you have been relating left Europe because of the fact the did not be happy to coach Christianity in accordance to their ideals. Oh definite, technological understanding grew to become into helped immensely by potential of Christians, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, Johannes Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus, Marie Curie, to call some. you likely have self belief that not something made itself right into a frog, and frogs developed into adult males. . . communicate approximately make-have self belief (by potential of how you mis-spelled that). Isaac Newton and Galileo weren't in settlement with the Roman Catholic Church; i'm a Christian and in many regards i'm unfavourable to the Roman Catholic Church. have you ever heard of the Reformation. The Protestant stream grew to become into crammed with opposition to the Roman Catholic Church.
