If you read the New Testament in its original Greek it becomes obvious that Newt Gingrich is hated by God and can in no wise be elevated to be his minister, his deacon, or the President of the United States. I knew this instinctively, as I use common sense, but it is nice to see the exegesis that proves it.
One things troubles me, however. If God ordains the president, then we have no reason to worry. Why exercise our reasoning thingies and let our stress hormones fly when we are assured that whomever is elected president is God’s choice?
I don’t have to knock doors or make phone calls or donate money. I don’t even need to have a preference.
…Paul makes clear in v. 1, “[T]here is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Every politician, whether he knows it or not, is using delegated power, delegated authority, authority delegated to him by God himself.
Nothing can go wrong.
