In Romans 13 the apostle Paul writes of the extreme respect we all should have for the government. Paul himself often in prison. And just years later the government headed by Nero, puts Paul to death. And since then other criminally insane men have come to power like Stalin, Hitler, Amin, and bad characters like Mao and Un. Surely we can't take Paul literally? It looks to me like an error on Paul's part, a short sightedness, noble but not foresightful. Also other ancient and medieval men and women were too cold in power.
I am compelled by the great crowd of Christians who write vision statements and about us statements that insist on the inerrancy of scriptures, infallible words of God and because all scripture is God breathed, to think it is surely inerrant. But this goes against my own judgement.
What about other Christians? What do you say?
