For the claims you have made in this discussion. Do you personally subscribe to the views you have been expressing?

Does that mean you disagree with Paul when he says, "the existing authorities stand placed in their relative postions by God" in the case of Iran?

Whether they stand in their relative position by God i cannot say nor have I anyway of knowing.

As far as i can discern i have been citing the Bible as the authority and not trying in the
least to promulgate my personal opinions, what views are you therefore talking about?

Do your "personal opinions" differ from the Bible's assertions that you have presented here?

So Paul's assertion may be wrong? You have "no way of knowing" whether the biblical claims you have cited are right or wrong?

Yet Paul said, "the existing authorities stand placed in their relative postions by God". Does that mean you do not believe Paul was correct there?

To my knowledge i have not really given any personal opinions, just to sat that the
Iranian governments position to execute christians is unjust. I think this is in harmony
with the Law of the Christ and the dictates of universal principles of justice.

What is your personal opinion about Paul's claim that governments "stand placed in their relative positions by God"?

No i dont think it is wrong, Paul does not mention any specific governments, does he, he
certainly does not differentiate between ones which have been placed in their relative
position and those which have not, according to your ludicrous question.

No it means that i have no way of knowing what governments stand in their relative
positions and which do not, following FMF's ludicrous and rather silly question.

So if, as Paul claims, "the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God", why do you not wish to remain neutral towards God's"existing authorities"?
