No, there is nothing worse than following someone blindly-even if they claims to be a man of Christ. Look at the state of our churches right now (pope child molesters, preacher adulterers, the list goes on). I think its important to trust God most of all and listen critically to everyone else-afterall they're human just like everyone else.

2 factors of perspectives in this: definite. it particularly is like pledging or vowing one's loyalty, allegiance, or faithfulness to a significant different to love, honor, cherish, obey, till dying do us area. you're making up your man or woman words or repeat what the criminal advise or pastor says so you might assert. I study on a internet site someplace as quickly as as quickly as I asked this question approximately how interior the old days the international locations carried around banners with their international locations on it. And what does the Bible say approximately slaves and masters, or bosses. study all those verses too. as quickly as we artwork below others we are to artwork for God, no longer for guy. while you're in an atmosphere the place you will possibly desire to sign a promise or pledge of affected person confidentiality or criminal professional shopper priveleges, quite of a letting your yay be yay and nay be nay, then you definately are additionally making a pledge or promise on paper. And did no longer the Bible point out something approximately Tamar and her better half's father and pledges? No. Pledging allegiance is one among those idolatry, as is idolizing the holy inerrant notice of G d, the holy Bible. i replaced into presented to this theory of Bible worship in a church group and whilst human beings have made pledges of allegiances even in a church placing I even have felt quite hesitant. additionally we are to no longer have the variety of something or the likeness of something on something, and yet there are photos, artwork, and definite stars and strips on the flag. Even interior the olden days of the Bible, the Jewish have been recommended by utilising our writer a thank you to construct and layout issues, and there replaced into additionally the serpent Moses had they had to look at. possibly or possibly no longer. yet at what factor or the place do you draw the line? And at what factor does it replace right into a equipment of "No"s and legalism quite of a real authentic dating with Christ and letting your works keep on with supernaturally in the time of the skill of Christ jointly as the dating develops. yet i'm happy you asked this question, thank you. because of the fact I even have questioned approximately this and the pledge of allegiance to the Bible and different issues that even church homes and Christian colleges try this i've got faith uncomfortable with.

NO... We are supposed to respect our leaders and obey the laws of the land. That doesn't mean we can't question our leaders or their wisdom (or lack thereof). We are supposed to pray for them.

Depends on who the leader is. If the leader follows their agenda, like Bush, they want everybody to refrain from criticizing him. If the leader is someone who does not follow their agenda, like Bill Clinton, they want to impeach him.

Uhmmmmmm......NO. Although, it wouldn't be a great idea to question a man of God, like a preacher, for instance.

All authority came from God.
