Today on #CrackYourBible’s apologetics / Bible study, we’re talking about how the Bible is the final authority - not the Founding Fathers, not whatever pet belief you have and definitely not some random New Ager activist on Facebook. Scripture is our guide for behavior and we’re here to do the will of our Father.

We’ll be going through the Bible to see how:
Jesus submitted to pagan Rome, even when prisoner Barabbas was released! Matthew 27
Jesus submitted to the Father, even when He didn’t get the answer He was looking for. Matthew 26:39-44
Paul and Silas obeyed pagan Rome when falsely imprisoned - which saved a Roman guard’s life! - Acts 16:25
Joseph in Egypt, obeyed his owners, jailers and even pagan Pharaoh, which saved the known world from starvation! Genesis 30 - 50.

We’ll also see how disobedience to authority & doing what makes sense in the natural has awful consequences such as with:
Adam & Eve ate the fruit to “be like God.” Genesis 3
Sarah trying to have a baby through Hagar. Genesis 16
King Josiah going to battle against King Neco, Pharaoh of Egypt. - 2 Kings 23: 29-30, 2 Chronicles 35:20-24
People of Judah who refused to submit to King Nebuchadnezzar. - Jeremiah 27

Who was Paul talking to in Romans 13? Christians in pagan Rome! What does the Bible say about submission to authority? Watch to find out!
