Ep. 035 | Submit to the Government or Civil Disobedience? — TAU Roundtable

by TAU Roundtable | Apr 28, 2020 | Theology, Things Above Us Roundtable

George Alvarado, Michael Coughlin, and Chuck Ivey discuss what it means to submit to the government or practice civil disobedience. Is there a balance? Does submission to the government mean you’re a statist?

If you call out the injustices and practice civil disobedience, does that mean you are not practicing Romans 13?

What should “taking action” look like?

Should believers take up arms against the government?

Join us as we answer these questions, and others, on this episode of Roundtable at Things Above Us.
