Why Abuse Your Leaders If You Believe They Were All Appointed By God?

I personally do not believe that all leaders were appointed by God, and that any idea that they were, did not emanate from God but of men, because the scriptures including the teachings of Jesus, tells us that some were appointed by men, some even by the devil as shown in the following threads:

However there were those who begged to differ also quoting from the scriptures.

But what I can quite get is when I observe the same people who claim that we (Christians) ought to be subject to all those in authority because they were appointed by God, hurling all sorts of abuses and insults at their leaders.

So why would they do that if they really believed all their leaders were chosen by God?

God bless.

That perhaps proves that they don't actually believe that we (Christians) should subject ourselves to our leaders because they were all appointed by God, but were just being hypocritical.

The only authority I believe any believer or Christian should be totally subject to, is that of Christ, therefore any authority that would make any Christian deviate from that of Christ, is not one which he should subject himself to, otherwise the authority would be said to have taken the place of Christ in the person's life, since a man cannot serve two masters. Matthew 6:24

God bless.

If God is interested in appointing anyone then there wont be any need for election.

Lol grin

Tell us how about how Christ managed the Economy, Security, Education, Health and e.t.c while he was on Earth.

I hope you won't turn around and start quoting Christ saying he is not about the Kingdom of this world?! grin
