Yes that is a principle in scripture. Do you feel inclined to say how you feel that relates to the OP?

Yes I agree with youf or the most part, but the questions for debate were...koko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:19 amJehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:28 amYes that is a principle in scripture. Do you feel inclined to say how you feel that relates to the OP?
It is a confirmation that government does have a role in one's daily conduct and that people should conform to its decrees. The Bible gives many examples of directorship and compliance. It follows that government today should use the models given in that book. For example, in times of famine the government kept storehouses and allocated food to those in need. This proves that government welfare for the poor is a valid part of government.
Do you not have an opinion on that?

You've labelled me an apostate so you won't likely respond to this but I thought I would throw my two cents in nevertheless. The answer to both questions is no. Jehovah isn't going to operate through the governments and that includes the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses. When Jehovah had a representation of Kings on Earth some were faithful and some were not. Jehovah spoke to the chosen people, the Jews, through prophets who often revealed that Jehovah was their most ardent critic. Of both the faithful and the unfaithful. No such arrangement currently exists and hasn't since then. From the last King Zedekiah until the one who has the legal right sits on Jehovah's throne.

Some believe we are living in troubled times with global problems that effect millions. If you are of that number, what is the solution ?
