commentary: Ministerial Misleading
People Are Being Misled by Their Ministers
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 23-Jul-11; Sermon #1058c; 14 minutes
Description: (hide)
John Ritenbaugh illustrates the perplexing biblical illiteracy of the American people (even in the so-called ‘Bible belt’) with the news story regarding the ‘clergy’ who have been instrumental in the passage of ‘same-sex’ marriages laws in New York. One misguided Presbyterian minister ignorantly applied the passage in Acts 10:15 to apply to homosexuality. Another member of the clergy claimed that Romans 13 does not ‘necessarily’ claim that we should obey the government in every instance. Actually God’s called-out ones are mandated to not take part in the political fray of the world because we are citizens of a foreign country (the Kingdom of God) and must patiently rely on God to manage the affairs of this decaying world.
