I heard a couple of Christians here voicing that partcular view, so I though it be good to share this with you. Do you agree with this?

I'm just talking about the religious interpretation part of the article--not the 9/11 conspiracy tangent (some of the ideas on there are extreme).

The power of our leader is coming from our God. When God decide to take the power from theri hands and give to other you can see then the real power of God. I`m from Romania. I was under dictator Ceausescu since 1965. Before of that was another dictator since 1947. But when God take the power from comunists in only one month in my country was a revolution. 23 milions of people who decide to be against dictator.
So. Power coming from our God. Because of that, if your are not prying for the leader (doesn`t mater how bad are him) you are not with GOD!
If you don`t like the leader is better to pry to become a better person, a better leader, to become against of bad thing.
God bless you.

I tend to not listen to any mental midgets who actually use the word, neocon or neoconservative. Mostly, when people use that word, they are so far out there, it is like they are from a different planet. However, to answer your question, I do tend to agree with the views express here. That we should submit to the authority of the government as long as the government is just. We also have a right to resist if the government is unjust. In between those 2, we have the right to debate and have different opinions - peacefully, without violence.
The current government, under Bush, is diversive, to say the least. I did vote for him before, but he has proven to not be a healer of this nation, we are more fractured then we have ever been since the civil war. He is so unpopular, that it does worry me. However, we have less then a year to go of Bush, I do not think he will do anything extreme to us like go to war on Iran. Wont happen, in my opinion. Too many people in and out of government are opposed to any more military action.
So while we do need to submit to the current government, we do have the right to voice our protests. It means do not break the laws. And I would suggest to not listen to the extremists who believe Bush will create some trouble to just impose martial law. Wont happen. But if it did, I would join the rebelion and urge the rest of us to do so.
My 2 cents. God bless us all.

Any group that thinks that 9/11 was planed by our Gov. is not worth the time of day, let alone my attention to read an article by them, You don't buy such non-sense do you?

No. But is it financially or supporting their decisions. I respect the office someone holds but it doesn't mean that I have to respect the person in that office. Lets put it this way; if Hitler were our president would they support him?

This goes back to Paul when he was spreading his religion, he assured the people that their rulers were god appointed and to obey them, this gave him some protection as he spread his religion. It was a cop out

You should always support you leaders in prayer.
You can support them in other ways if they align themselves with the teachings of Jesus.
