"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation." -- Romans 13:1-2
While doing research on the American Baptist Churches USA (a heretical organization), I put more emphasis on ABC-USA's resistance to the God-ordained power of the State to put evildoers to death (ABC-USA rejects the death penalty). I then thought about another group that resists the government. The rioters on January 6, 2021, when they broke into the Capitol building in order to stop the lawful counting of electoral votes to elect Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.
Even IF the election was fraudulent, even IF the election was rigged in favor of Mr. Biden, it was still an act of wickedness to resist the lawful electoral process. It is like the common adage, "two wrongs don't make a right". It is still evil to return evil for evil (Romans 12:17, I Peter 3:9, etc.) (presuming evil even initially took place).
Repent (Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:3, Mark 1:15, etc.) January 6ers!
