[QUOTE="get2choppaaa, post: 1592019, member: 17150"] Rights may be a grabble to you, but not to me. I am thinking you are not an American based off of that. So when you have an unjust king you are called to sit by and allow it to happen? By that logic... what is the difference between a King and a dictator who's seized power? Looking at ALL of history, kings are based off the might/armies that backed them and the monopoly of force. We have been lucky that there WERE indeed Christian monarchs who took their duties as a righteously ordained leader by God's rule seriously. BUT.... by that logic of your earlier statement... Henry VIII is good to go.... I mean he was a king and all and we do have to subjugate ourselves to that right? We aren't talking about judges like Gideon or King's like David here... though while you're pointing out issues with people in history, I'd remind you of the particular fallen nature of Kings and rulers in Christendom, many of whom are now Saints.
