[QUOTE="BondiHarry, post: 57867304, member: 281154"] If men were holy and still walking in the counsel of God there would be no need for government. With man being fallen and constantly seeking to do evil God saw the need for government (kings and princes) and gave them very specific and very limited responsibilities, to wield the sword against the evil doer and to ensure that justice is done. God calls for kings and princes themselves to be righteous (as the throne is established in righteousness) and sober. For the things that men need however He is clear that we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and the things we need will be added to us and He warns us to put not our trust in princes and the son of man [i]in whom there is no help[/i] (Psalm 146:3). Godly government however does not get in the way of men walking in God's liberty from living their lives as God directs them, buying or selling etc. [/QUOTE]
