Protestants: The Power of Protest – Obedience to God is Found in Resisting Tyrants - The Language of Our Forefathers

"Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell; And George III- Treason! Cried the speaker- May profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it." –Patrick Henry 

Anyone that has taken the time to read their Bibles understands that much of the history of the church is found in protesting tyrants. Remember, tyrants are them that would like to create a world without God's rule. Therefore,

“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”-Benjamin Franklin

• Moses Confronting Pharaoh (Exodus 5)
• Shadrach Meshech and Abednego (Daniel 3)
• Elijah Confronting Ahab-Jezebel and the false prophet  (1 Kings 18)
• John the Baptist reproving King Herod (Luke 3:19)
• The Lord sends the Angel to free the Apostles (Acts 5:9)

But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. -Mark 13:9

It is the duty of the Church to keep the commandments of the Lord. Nowhere can you find in Scripture where the Lord commanded His Church to disobey in obedience to tyranny, nowhere!

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” -Romans 12:21

Magistrates are to be punishers of those who do evil, not good.
