The Two Ethics Doctrine of Romans 13
Some wonder how citizens of a nation with such a rich history of higher law – “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” – could find themselves in positions of neither being able to worship on Sunday nor labor on Monday.

God Bless America?
CENSORED Do those thinking less of the Chinese Government and cults think less of YouTube as well? Was the Vatican wrong to imprison Galileo for his ideas about the earth and sun?
