This world is full of wickedness...drone strikes...warring governments...generak badness...
But WHO does the Bible warn about?
Governments? No.
False religion...Yes.
(Revelation 18:4, 5) And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.
Can people be 'in' religion? yes.
Can they be 'in' government? not really, and only by voting...
So it is false religion that is regarded as WORSE than bad government...and yet we are advised to be obedient to the authorities...
(Romans 13:1) Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.
" Be obedient to the [ governments] which certainly does not match..." get out of her"...
So is your religion being scriptually true?
