The Romans 13 Fallacy: an eye-Opening Discovery

The Romans 13 Fallacy

Apparently, like Rip Van Winkle I had been asleep for a number of years without realizing it.

Recently in Sunday school, it was decided that we would discuss Romans 13 and Titus. In preparation for the lesson, I began studying several treatises on the subject and discovered that there has been an ongoing debate for decades, if not in fact, scores of decades regarding these scriptures and passages similar to them. Wow! Where had I been during all those years? Somehow, I assumed that Christians everywhere were on the same page regarding our place in the world and was shocked to learn that such is not the case.
As a result of this eye-opening discovery, I began researching in earnest for an answer to the question regarding a Christian’s duty in relationship to so-called “government.” But no matter what articles I read regarding the matter, all left me wanting. It was as if there was some fundamental truth that no one was addressing. Eventually, the amazingly obvious answer came to light and now I share that revelation with you….

Two Main Postulates

There are many passages in the Bible that one could choose regarding one’s relationship with government. Nevertheless, there seem to be two main postulates in operation from which all others are derived:
  1. Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s. -Matthew 22:21
  2. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. – Romans 13:1

I. The Render unto Caesar Fallacy

Caesar
Render unto Caesar?
The Render unto Caesar fallacy has held great sway in America. This is a living testimony to the resonant success of the Satanic American educational system, the hallmark of which is induced ignorance.
It is a fact that Americans are given no basic education in law. The common Christian misinterpretation of this passage belies a tragic unfamiliarity with the history, structure and principles of American government.
Article I, Section 9, clause 8 of the United States Constitution states:
No title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Article I, Section 10, clause 1 of the United States Constitution further states:
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Americans who tote the “Caesar” line are woefully ignorant of world history. During the time of Christ, the Romans viewed Caesar as a GOD. There were NO ELECTIONS for Caesar. Modern Christians fail to remember that the reason why the ancient Christians were persecuted by the Romans was because they refused to worship the Roman pagan gods AND CAESAR.
America does not have a Caesar. America has never had a Caesar and America will NEVER have a Caesar. IT’S ILLEGAL! Neither can Christians legally “honor the King.” There will never be a King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Earl, etc. in America because Titles of Nobility are outlawed in the United States.
  • The President of the United States is merely an elected job-holder, NOT a monarch.
  • The President assumes an office not a throne.
  • The President is simply a civil administrator, not a divine ruler.
  • There are no coins or paper currency minted in the United States with the face of the current US President or any other living civil servant printed upon it.
The fact is, thanks to The Constitution written by our forefathers, Christians cannot render anything unto A WORLDLY GOD. To attempt to do so is illegal…period. Time has proven that our forefathers did not get everything right. But they certainly got this part right. They crafted the Constitution with the Bible in mind and they specified that government (mere men) can never claim to be divine authority.
Obama is not our god. Obama is not our ruler. There are no US Obama coins.
By the way, these “Render unto Caesar” Christians entirely miss what was happening in Matthew 22:21. The Pharisees and Sadducees were attempting to trick Jesus with a choice of GODS. They were hoping that Jesus would pronounce Caesar to be just a man, which they then would have used against him, reporting his “blasphemy against Caesar” to the Romans. The passage is NOT about government at all. Caesar was NOT a government. It was about a choice of GODS.
The words “Caesar”, “King” and “President” are NOT interchangeable, at least not in America. Christians who blithely parrot the “Caesar” or “King” doggerel are -in fact- traitors to The Constitution of the United States and threaten everything our Christian forefathers fought to establish and died to preserve.
It would behoove these unpatriotic American Christians to familiarize themselves with the history of our country, to respect and honor the heritage of America and to rectify their woeful ignorance. Wild extrapolation of scripture predicated upon benighted imagination is no substitute for enlightened fact.
If traitorous “Christian” citizens want to “honor the king”…fine…but they’ll need to move to another country to do it. The Constitution of the United States mandates that here in America, only one king may be honored legally…the King of Kings: Jesus Christ.

II. The “Powers that Be” Fallacy

Once again, we have proof of the time-tested adage that “a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.” The Christian misinterpretation of Romans 13:1 serves as a shining testimony to the success of the American miss-education system; a structure which, incidentally, teaches the captive students never to question their teacher.

God’s Natural Order

Study this diagram carefully:
God's Natural Order

Everything Begins with God

Like it or not, everything begins with God. As John 1:1 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” So God’s first manifestation was God’s Law: the Word. Then God’s Word manifested creation…“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
From the creation sprang Man and Woman; from whom eventually was begotten We the People. It was We the People who created Organized Church (a worldly reflection of the Infinite Spiritual Church), Elections (a worldly reflection of the Will of God) and Grand Juries (a worldly reflection of the Judgment of God).
To hold these worldly creations in balance, a social contract was formed known as The Constitution for the United States.  Those persons that misguided Christians claim to be “higher powers” actually SERVE UNDERNEATH THE CONSTITUTION.
Therefore, in God’s Natural Order the individuals that Christians call “authorities” are in fact:
  1. Servants of We the People
  2. Servants of the Organized Church
  3. Servants of the Constitution

Christian Decadence

God is NOT amused
We cannot authentically claim to be Christians while simultaneously promoting a satanic debauchery of God’s Natural Order.
Present day reality clearly demonstrates that Christians have abdicated their moral responsibility to administrate the Organized Church. This, in turn, has led to the abandonment of the Christian ethical responsibility to supervise the servants of The Constitution.
The sin of Christian sloth, having continued over several generations, has resulted in epidemic moral irresponsibility to the point that Satan has been allowed to step in and fill the vacuum left by Christians to administrate GOD’S Natural Order.
Amazingly enough, it is the irresponsible, decadent Christians themselves who have sanctioned the complete upheaval of God’s Natural Order. A demonic unnatural Order which asserts that the servants are above their Masters. Immoral Christians have become so hopelessly depraved that they have actually abandoned the words of Jesus himself:
“The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.”
- Mt 10:24
God’s word clearly demonstrates that perversion of God’s Natural Order is sin. We cannot authentically claim to be Christians while simultaneously promoting a satanic debauchery of God’s Natural Order.

Adamant Defenders of Absurdity

The Higher PowersThe “higher powers” referred to in Romans 13 are God’s Law. Poorly educated Christians who have been raised in ignorance by the State and deluded by false authorities would have us believe that the servants living in the basement who produced Man’s Law (known as “statutes”) have moved upstairs to the master bedroom and have become higher powers. Examine the complete chart (above) and realize for yourself the profound absurdity of such a contention.
Nevertheless, some Christians are adamant that the wicked reversal of God’s Natural Order is the hierarchy that one must live within. How could such a trick have been accomplished? How did mere servants manage to pull the wool over the eyes of a whole nation of masters?
The black magic that enslaved Christians and non-Christians alike was the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment which created a new class of people that never existed before, known as “The US citizen.” Consult the chart and notice that the US citizen exists BELOW the level of Statutes (i.e. below the servants). The incredible details behind this demonic hoodwink is a treatise in itself and shall be saved for another day.
Suffice it to say for now that We the People are the TRUE authority and God’s Laws are the higher powers.

Enter the Grand Identity

God created We the People with free will. Therefore in order to accomplish his coup d’état in America, Satan was obliged to create a temptation that Americans would choose of their own free will. A temptation that would lure you to trade away your authority as a sovereign God-ordained Man or Woman for a new identity…that of the US Citizen; which, if you’ll recall, was the same scam Satan pulled in the Garden…
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. -Genesis 3:1-5
The Bible illustrates Satan’s prime trick…offering a grand identity. A better you. Is that not what every television commercial offers? A grand identity…a better you…”for only 19.95.” Over time the products and offers continue to change but the premise has remained the same since the Garden of Eden.
You have been tricked into living under a travesty of God’s Natural Order by the offering of a grand identity… “US citizen.”

The 14th Amendment is not what they tell you it is

Speaking of Confusion

Now, more than likely at this point you’re probably somewhat confused. Maybe completely confused. After all, isn’t being a US citizen a good thing? Having lived through decades of darkness, you have failed to realize just how profound your illiteracy of the law is and we’re not going to clear up a lifetime of ignorance in one quick, easy lesson…sorry. But your confusion is a good thing. All true learning begins with confusion. Let’s just say for now that the legal title of “US Citizen” has some very serious negative ramifications that you were never told about in school.
Speaking of confusion…consider this…
In God’s Natural Order, the courts are the worldly reflection of GOD’S JUDGMENT. So, why not deliver the courts into the hands of non-believers, right? Talk about confusion! Are you beginning to grasp the illogical, irresponsible and incredibly recklessness behavior that modern Christians have exhibited?
Judge Jesus
Let’s kick this guy out and install non-believers.
Makes perfect sense…IF YOU WORSHIP SATAN
As I admitted in the beginning, like Rip Van Winkle, I too had been asleep for a number of years without realizing it. When I recognized to what extent Christians were misinterpreting the Bible, it shocked me. But more importantly, it was a blessing…it educated me.

Jesus Has Been Edited

In our Sunday school class we’re reading Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. At one point early on the author states: “They [so-called Christians] have never heard the unedited version of what Jesus taught about following him.” That statement is so true.
The story of Jesus is a love story. But it is a law story as well. If you doubt this, consult your Bible. The word “law” is used forty times in the Gospels (KJV). There is an entire subtext in the narrative of Jesus Christ which you cannot possibly appreciate until you are grounded in common law. Meanwhile, your pastor cannot explain it to you because (more than likely) he also lacks training in common law.
The legal story of Jesus has been edited out via institutionalized complicity. Christian pastors have been raised within the same educational system as you and I; a system which renders people functionally illiterate regarding basic law. Hopefully, this article will help bring to light the dreadful consequences that can result when people fill the void of their personal ignorance with concepts derived from personal predilection.

The Big Secret

sinful Christians love their ignorance more than Jesus
the big secret
The big secret that no one wants to know (especially Christians themselves) is that the number one obstacle preventing God’s Kingdom from manifesting on Earth has been SINFUL CHRISTIANS.
It is the sincerely sinful Christians who wring their hands and definitively pronounce without a shred of doubt, that Satan’s dominance on Earth is inevitable. They claim that the Book of Revelation is proof.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

Revelation about the Book of

Did you know there are FOUR major interpretations of the Book of Revelation?
  1. Preterism
  2. Idealism
  3. Historicism
  4. Futurism
The Christian Futurism interpretation is the newest and the one upon which rapture theology is founded.  Pre-tribulation rapture theology was developed in the 1830s by John Nelson Darby, the Plymouth Brethren and a young girl, Margaret McDonald.
In other words, the doctrine of the rapture is relatively MODERN. So apparently, American Christians are a lot smarter than the Christians who, for seventeen centuries throughout the world, failed to discover the rapture interpretation of the Bible.  Perhaps that might be because the word “rapture” does not even exist in the King James Bible. More importantly, rapture eschatology was established by means of doctrinal LIBERALISM and the visions of a young girl. Need I say more? Don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself RIGHT HERE, HERE  and ESPECIALLY HERE.
There are FOUR major interpretations of the Book of RevelationIt turns out the assertion that Satan’s rule is inevitable is…how can I put this delicately… a pile of rubbish promulgated by Christians who, when God said “brains” thought he said “trains” and have been “off track” ever since.
Actually, the Satanic scheme for a one world government can be EASILY foiled, provided that purported Christians pick up their cross and follow Jesus NOW.

Many Are Called But Fewer Are Chosen

There is work to be done. That work does not consist of scarfing down burgers and watching television. You have been deliberately misled by a group of evil people who have as their goal nothing less than the total destruction of Christianity. You must REPENT of your American miss-education and strive to learn the additional knowledge that was withheld from you by the wicked enemies of Christendom. Now is the time for you to truly die and be reborn.
The fallacious interpretations of Romans 13 were crafted by Satanists who intend to replace worship of God with worship of the State. Sadly these STATIST LIES have been gleefully promulgated by willfully ignorant Christians. Yes, it is the CHRISTIANS THEMSELVES who have cooperated with Satan and it is high time for them to reform their sinful, disobedience to Jesus. Christ is the truth and the light. Authentic Christianity does not tolerate ignorance. You must REPENT of your darkness and come into the light.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. –Luke 11:35
The Romans 13 Fallacy is just that…a fallacy. Remove yourself from the rubbish pile of Christian black holes who wallow in willful darkness, blaming the sins of the world and their apathy on their favorite scapegoat…Satan.
Church StateThe only power Satan has over America is the power We the People gave him. God’s Kingdom will descend upon Earth as soon as Christians fulfill their moral responsibility to enforce God’s Natural Order over America.
Christians must once again treat their Constitution with the same respect and dignity as they treat their Bible. The two go hand in hand and are inseparable…God and Country. You are a Christian AND a citizen. For years American Christians have put their citizenship on the back burner and the consequences have been utterly devastating!

Forsake Evil Elections

When Christians vote for the lesser of two evils, they are intentionally participating in Satan worship.  They are knowingly voting for evil.  The idea that one candidate is the lesser evil is somehow supposed to make it OK in God’s eyes.  IMHO, that’s just plumb crazy.
Americans are not going to vote their way out of the problems which have resulted from their long-term decadence and sloth.  We the People actually have THREE VOTES in America. Voting in an election is the least important of these and my guess is that you do not know what the other two votes are…am I right?
In a land where Christians are so far removed from Jesus that they cannot even discern when God’s Natural Order has been completely compromised, it doesn’t matter who is elected, the outcome will always be the same…more evil. No amount of prayer is going to change that.

Get Back to Basics

Be faithful to your ancestors
Be faithful to your ancestors
If you want to pray for something…pray that you will humble yourself enough to admit that you have been wrong, that you have been foolish, that you have been irresponsible to your duties and that you have a LOT to learn about being a righteous American citizen.
Pray that somehow you will face the facts and admit that you have no one else to blame but yourself and that the time to repent of your ignorance is RIGHT NOW.
  • When was the last time you read the Bible?
  • When was the last time you read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
Your ancestors knew them BOTH but you do not. And America has paid the disastrous costs.

Class Is In Session, You Are NOT Excused

It's still EVIL
Vote Conservatively – DON’T VOTE
I have a friend who loves to blame “the liberals.” There can be nothing more liberal than Christians abdicating their moral and ethical responsibilities to non-believers. There can be nothing more liberal than betraying everything your ancestors fought and died to preserve because you’re too apathetic to become an informed citizen. There can be nothing more liberal than permitting the wholesale perversion of God’s Natural Order by living in complete denial of it. God’s Kingdom on Earth begins with you. It is time for repentance and you are NOT excused.

Pastors Must Become Informed

As I noted in the beginning of this article, before I did my own research I read many treatises on this subject written by pastors and none of them seemed to get to the heart of the matter. Perhaps, now you can understand the reason why. Not one pastor cited the laws of America. My best guess is that they were unable to. So we have a HUGE problem in America. Pastors are ignorant of common law and therefore cannot teach it to their congregations.
By the way, common law (basic law) is derived STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE. There is no excuse on earth for pastors not to study common law. Any pastor who objects to studying common law is basically objecting to studying the Bible. It is an indefensible argument.

Reformation of America Begins With You

Liberty in ChristThe whole of what has gone wrong cannot be covered in merely this one article, but know this…all of the trouble that America is now going through has occurred as a result of evil men replacing the original law of America (Biblically-based common law) with another type of law that isn’t actually law!
They were able to do this because Christians have failed to use their common sense. It should be obvious to anyone who knows the story about Judas betraying Jesus for a few pieces of silver that America can be (and some would say has been) betrayed for a price as well.

Cut the Cord of Dependency

American Christians can no longer afford to sit on their rump, twiddle their thumbs and addictively depend upon Judases to save our country. We must depend upon God acting through us. We cannot correct what has happened to The United States unless we comprehend the true facts and rectify the sinful sloth that dragged us down into this quagmire in the first place. We cannot re-institute Biblical law while possessing no mastery of it. We cannot wait for others to do this for us. That approach has been tried and has failed miserably.
You are not going to be able to solve this problem with a donation or a vote. You’re going to have to put your nose to the grindstone and work hard to acquire knowledge that was intentionally denied to you. We’re not talking about you becoming a lawyer…God forbid. Lawyers adhere to non-Biblical statutes which need to be abolished. No, we’re simply talking about gaining enough basic knowledge so that we can re-institute God’s Law in the courts of America. If Christians will not perform their patriotic duty…then WHO WILL?

Summary

  1. “Render Unto Caesar…Honor the King, etc.” is apples and oranges. We do not have Caesars, Kings, whatever. Please stop talking like an idiot.
  2. Government officials are servants NOT higher powers.  God’s Laws are the higher powers. You have been promoting a demonic perversion of God’s Natural Order. Please curtail your blasphemy. God is not amused.  The servants are NOT the masters.
  3. The legal title of “US citizen” is a satanic slave trap. The full explanation of this is available to earnest seekers at You Da Slave.
  4. The American educational system deliberately failed to teach you Biblical common law and only YOU can rectify that.
  5. The secret to fixing America is re-instituting God’s Law in the Courts.
    Take control of the courts!
    Target Satan’s stronghold – the courts
    • A COURT ruled that Prayer must be abolished from schools.
    • A COURT decided that Christian nativity scenes could not be displayed in public.
    • A COURT passed Rowe v. Wade.
    • Christianity is under attack everywhere. But Christianity is being STRUCK DOWN in the courts.
    • Forget about elections…TAKE CONTROL OF THE COURTS!
  6. Your ignorance and sloth has caused you to overlook the most powerful weapon available to you.
  7. Christians cannot take control of the courts without investing the time necessary to gain a working knowledge of common law.
  8. If Christians will not take control of the courts then the courts will be ruled by Satan and America will be lost.
  9. Christian pastors have a duty to learn common law, which is derived from the Bible. Any pastor unwilling to fulfill his patriotic duty to save America is working for Satan. This must become the new litmus test for authentic pastorship.
  10. Be faithful to your ancestors and all of the sacrifices they made on your behalf.  If it were not for those sacrifices, you would not be here today.
  11. Remember…God and Country. A country is a wasteland without God. But your progeny will have no place to worship God without a country.
  12. For years, Christians have organized weekly Bible study.  It is high time for them to organize weekly Constitution study.
If it were not for those sacrifices, you would not be here today.

Ignorantia facti excusat, ignorantia juris non excusat…

“Ignorance of the facts excuses, ignorance of the law does not.”

The Attitude of an Anarchist


The Attitude of an Anarchist

Recently by Tom Finnigan: The Simpsons Against the State
Anarchy is about attitude as much as philosophy. Below is a contrast between a conservative attitude toward government and the anarchist’s attitude toward government. Do you have the attitude of an anarchist?
Conservatives show deference toward political authority; anarchists show defiance toward political authority. Conservatives respect politicians; anarchists revile politicians. Conservatives see voting as their patriotic duty; anarchists see voting as a waste of time. Conservatives feel an emotional attachment to democracy; anarchists think democracy is a farce. Conservatives think the Constitution is sacred; anarchists think the Constitution is a dead letter. Conservatives would feel honored to meet the President; anarchists would feel like showering after meeting the President. Conservatives love Ronald Reagan because he believed in smaller government; anarchists despise Ronald Reagan because he enlarged the government. Conservatives see sex scandals as an embarrassment to the nation; anarchists see sex scandals as entertainment for the nation.
Conservatives take pride in U.S. history; anarchists deconstruct U.S. history. Conservatives are moved when they hear the National Anthem; anarchists just want to start the game already. Conservatives pledge allegiance to the United States of America; anarchists declare independence from the United States of America. Conservatives think unity is important; anarchists think unity is dangerous. Conservatives detest draft dodgers; anarchists admire draft dodgers. Conservatives grieve for soldiers killed in wars; anarchists grieve for civilians killed in wars. Conservatives disparage conscientious objectors; anarchists are conscientious objectors. Conservatives think dissent is unpatriotic; anarchists think dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Conservatives ridicule conspiracy theorists; anarchists are conspiracy theorists.
Conservatives fear an out-out-of-control population; anarchists fear an out-of-control government. Conservatives think drugs are destroying society; anarchists think the war on drugs is destroying society. Conservatives respect government law; anarchists respect natural law. Conservatives think it’s wrong for people to pick and choose what laws they want to obey; anarchists feel a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws. Anarchists might help a teenager trying to score some beer; conservatives would threaten to call the cops. Conservatives worry about what their neighbors do behind closed doors; anarchists worry about what cops and prosecutors do behind closed doors." Conservatives think everyone should pay their taxes; anarchists think no one should pay their taxes. Anarchists feel excited about breaking the law; conservatives feel guilty about breaking the law. Conservatives feel safe in the presence of law enforcement; anarchists feel threatened in the presence of law enforcement. Conservatives grieve for the federal agents killed during the Waco siege; anarchists grieve for the civilians killed during the Waco siege.
Conservatives fear instability; anarchists fear tyranny. Conservatives value order; anarchists value freedom. Conservatives think about what’s practical; anarchists think about what’s right. Conservatives want to take over the State; anarchists want to smash the State. Conservatives want reform; anarchists want revolution. Conservatives fear extremists; anarchists are extremists. Conservatives take interest in elections, budget proposals, and constitutional amendments; anarchists take interest in secession, nullification, and civil disobedience. Conservatives worry about what would replace the existing political order; anarchists are willing to roll the dice.
The attitude of an anarchist can be summarized as follows: contempt for politicians; rejection of nationalism; disrespect for the law; and a willingness to make radical changes to the status quo. If you share these attitudes, you might be an anarchist. If you reject the philosophy of anarchism, you should still consider adopting the attitude of an anarchist if you want liberty. Attitude is more important than philosophy when it comes to rousing the masses from their slumber. Eastern Europeans did not erupt against communism because they had recently learned about Mises’ economic calculation argument. They did it because they were tired of living in a police state and weren’t going to take it anymore. The attitude of an anarchist says, "Don’t tread on me." It is inspiring. It is contagious. It is the hope of humanity.
