Kevin, very well said !! I read your entire web-page.
I too have struggled with America's rebellion against Britain. Though, I am a Christian libertarian, I have respect for what your bible passages teach about obeying authority.
However, if you will hear my objection to your thesis, here it is.....

When I read passages such as: "vengance is mine, etc." I am only reminded that God's law can not be brought to the Godless sucessfully.
We (christians) are put on this earth as witnesses, not law enforcement officers. My long, thought-out view, as a libertarian, has always been that governments (especially strong federal ones) are the single greatest threat to Christianity. If I may Quote my fiercest spiritual enemy, Karl Marx: "Organized religion is the single greatest threat to society" --in a letter to his wife-- (see N.Y's public library web-site under: Bios.)

Kevin, though I respect your thesis more than I might be able to convince you of, I think the declaration of independence was a far greater step forward for the God-fearing man; rather than backward.

The freedoms outlined in our constitution (crippled as they might be today) did more to ensure freedom to organize and worship than the british ever would have stood for.

I have always believed that established goverments tend toward Godlessness and destruction. This is why I believe America's rebellion "bought" us a few more centuries of freedom than a monarchy such as Great Britain's would have.

I think Christians are only safe when their goverment is weak and freedom reigns. Though I admit God is in total control; I truly believe God punishes us for who we vote for. You'll always find that the power-hungry despots (such as the King of Britain) are the ones that would have churches burned with their members inside.

I hope you respect my point as much as I did yours; it would only flatter me.

In Christ,

Greg.

Well Kevin, I would agree our Nation is heading in the wrong direction, but July 4th is the birth of our Nation AS a Nation. I beleive the more "deeply rooted" things that trouble our Nation began to creep in shortly thereafter.
This day I will enjoy celebrating immensly as a Freedom Loving Human Being, I will take pride in it as a Patriotic American/Veteran and I will thank God for it as a Consecrated Tridentine Roman Catholic. The usual days I have a problem with are May 1st, June 26th, November 7th and December 7th.

Kevin,

I like and appreciate your zeal for the things of the LORD.
All Christians OUGHT to.
From a separate e-mail address, I will send you my short 8 page manuscript on Romans 13:1-7. I am certain you will enjoy it.
Although I may be Calvinistic, I will not use the title as a designation. I am, after all and above all else, Christian. How many people do you turn away from within the Christian community with the title of Christian? My background is Baptist, because I was raised in a home with my Dad, who is to this day a Baptist minister. But, I became a Christian in 1982, after reading sermons, in book form, by Francis Schaeffer. (A Christian Manifesto, and Esacape From Reason). I have since then read other books by him. You are, by your actions, an Opinion Leader.
I supported Patrick J Buchanan for President, and became friends with him, getting to know to him somewhat, one on one. (I was with him in San Diego last August, during the time of the RNC).

How beautifully gracious brother Kevin. You even returned to British spelling for honour though you did not make it to neighbourhood.
I join you in mourning on the 4th of July. But I guess our reasons differ. I mourn the loss of such promising colonies.;-))

It is especially fitting to mourn in the week when the sun finally set in Hong Kong on the empire upon which the sun never used to set.
