Gregoree is busy right now submitting to the SI TOU. Message 26099636 Romans 13: Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Gregoree is busy right now having diminished himself once again. Message 16960779 After my most recent post to you I felt as if I should have retracted it, but it was too late. If you knew me you would understand that I do not enjoy this type of endless and pointless, back and forth insulting. I rarely respond that way to others. It leaves me feeling diminished as a person and as a Christian. Therefore I resolve to be civil to you in the future. I don't expect you will stop being who and what you are. I have no control over that, only my own actions. Please accept my sincere apology for any nastiness on my part towards you, real or perceived. Have a good day. Greg
