Wow, now we are on to pre-reformation politics. The
royalty of Europe were very afraid of the sort of thing you talk about and there
was a long struggle between the Popes and the Kings.

Subject: [RR] God first?
Please read completely and
carefully before you reply! I dislike the
usage of a national flag on the Royal Rangers uniform. The option of wearing a
Christian flag in its place or with should be added. We should focus on what
unites us and that would be Christ. A case was made about our flag
saying that we should have it on our uniforms to show that we are members of
the United States Royal Rangers. This reasoning isn't valid because
other countries already have their own national office, uniforms, policies,
language, etc. There is no reason to further the obvious differences
between our Royal Ranger programs. When I put on my uniform I think of myself
as a "soldier of God" which is why I again feel that we should wear the
Christian flag, my loyalties are first to Christ. There will be a time when
the nations will come agaisnt the people of God, so we first serve Christ not
nations. What about the nations that are worldly and clearly against
christians, should a christian place its flag on his uniform. Remember I am
not asking for the removal of the wearing of a national flag, but the option
to wear a Christian flag. Let me put it this way, Where is the Christian flag
on our uniform and why did a national flag come first? We are a christian
ministry and the first thing that should appear on our uniform is something
that lets the world clearly see this. God bless!
