Hi, Bro!

"It's weird to see myself quoted, but at least it's in this kind of context!"

LOLOLOL! I would never quote you in a bad light.🙏😃

"I have heard a lot of discussion of Romans 13 in Christian anarchist and libertarian circles."

This is certainly not the first time I've dipped my toe in those waters; here, I'm just taking a whack from a different angle.

"Taking it in context of the surrounding chapters matters."

Absolutely! That has persuaded me that Romans 13 is really talking about the good governance God expects us to do in the ecclesia to replace the state.

"So does delving into the Greek and exploring translation disputes."

Of which I think this post is my most direct observation, and this a close second.

"...merely being a Christian has been "illegal" in various places..."

And I think—were we truly doing this right—it would probably be illegal here in the US.

Thanks for always reading and frequently commenting! And who knows, I may likely quote you again when appropriate.🤣

Blessings!
