Re: [TruthTalk] Speeding is not sin?

Oops, I forgot about this part... Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the King (1 Kefa/Peter 2:13-17) -- slade ----- Original Message ----- From: Slade Henson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 01 April, 2003 22:12 Subject: [TruthTalk] Speeding is not sin? For those of you who think you can speed and not be committing sin, read the following. Remember, just because an enforcer of the law does not tag you when you just barely break a law, doesn�t mean it's not breaking the law. You still break the law and you offend the Most High God in the process.  Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and God establishes those who exist. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not causes of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. (Romans 13:1-5)
