Oh shut it…you live in America where we have freedom…people can love who they want when they want and how they want…there are scientific studies that show people who are gay/lesbian are born that way, it is not because of choice, it is how GOD created them…and pro choice all the way, its not your business why someone wants to get an abortion so stay out of it…and Rommel Lopez how can you even compare obama to hitler or stalin, thats just crazy talk. you should be ashamed…and if you all hate it so much then go move to another country because your remarks are not wanted and its about time there is some positive change coming to this country… OBAMA <3333

As the verse clearly states, there is no man in authority that has not been placed there but by God himself.

Wearing black to speak out against the authority does in fact represent rebellion, Christine.

Ashley,
Your scripture verses refer to those who rebel against authorities–as in breaking the law, and revolution. They do not refer to the faithful who speak against injustices and wrongs committed by the current administration. We have a duty to speak the truth and condemn evil.

Romans 13

“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. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. ”

The chapter goes on to say…
“This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

Ezekiel 12:20-21 (among others) seems informative here (God speaking to Israel and Judah through the prophet): "And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols" [e.g., perhaps of career, convenience, education, material wealth and the vain hope of prolonged youth through medical therapies... to name just a few modern idols] "Was your prostitution not enough? You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to idols." What happened to them next wasn't pretty...

Amen. We will pray for the president-elect, that he may repent in great sorrow for the pagan child sacrifice which he has supported.

Sadly, very little of your list would have been different if McCain had been elected, just number 6, I think. I’ll be wearing black on the 4th of July.
