THE BIBLE & THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Chris discusses what the Bible says about the concept of rebellion, in answer to an email about whether or not the American Revolution was justified. The Scripture tells us that "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft" (1Samuel 15:23), but exactly what does this mean? Rebellion against who? And under what circumstances? Also discussed is the civil war that took place in ancient Israel in the days of Jeroboam. Was this war justified, or was it in disobedience to the will of God?
