Dear Anon, Hold on! Let me answer each statement separately, 1)"There is no ruler that the Christian is responsible to except Christ" This sounds pious and even like it may be Biblical but it is false. Hebrews 13:7 says "we are to Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you ...

Dear Anon, I like your spunk. You are tackling some tough issues. I took a brief look at the website Jesusradicals you referred to. What you are reacting to, I believe, is what I would call statism.

Dear Bud,

In Christ,
John Barbour

Reply to Jeff

Dear Jeff, My question was meant to be somewhat rhetorical. I was interested in the audience here at the Family Bible Fellowship Forum. I'm glad you attempted to answer it, however. Let me attempt to reply to the issues you raise. 1)"I don't really understand why a Christian would be Terrorized, per...
