Wanna bet, that there is going to be something along the lines of gladiator fights?

Of course -- let the non-Christians battle each other to the death.

Not only will this fulfill God's command, but it provides some desperately needed panem et circum for the masses of the C.S.A.

sof>> if God has authority of law, how come God has commanded abortion to be lawful?

don't you think theres a bit of flaw in your reasoning?

and please, don't say something like "God is flawless" because yes, we already have established this.

Uh huh, and some in some countires gay marriage/civil unions are perfectly lawful.

Do you have biblical quotes reserved for that, please throw them at me now.

If you're in a glass house, you shound't throw stones....but, duh, I mean, if you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw anything, rocks included. but, if youre TRAPPED, in a glass house, by all means, throw at will!

Ok SOF so Paul was telling us to obey civil authority?

I do not think so.
Who was he writing to?
He was writing to the Christian Elect in Rome. He was telling the members of that church to be sure to follow the leadership of that church. Not to follow what Rome said.
Why would he be telling those Christians to follow Cesser? He himself did not follow Cesser. And Cesser had Paul kill because of it.

So this passage is meant for the Christian believers in Rome to remind them to listen to their preacher.

Basically, governments can do whatever they want because, according to Romans 13, they have the power to do so from God.

So, why is legalized abortion, homosexuality, and smut bad again?

If he can selectively choose to enforce the Old Testament Laws, why not selectively apply Romans 13?

...Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were put in place by God? Then why did you say they murdered people? After all "they bareth not the sword in vain"
By the same token America was founded by people who rebelled against legitimate authority doesn't that mean we were founded in sin?

As a side note? Doesn't Romans 13 kind of condemn people who don't pay their taxes?
