Emil, a definite NO: Hitler can NEVER be referred to as God's Minister. If for nothing else, he did everything that was opposed to the Bible & the Message of Love & Compassion that were Jesus' foundational teaching. I think you may have heard something that has made you wonder about Hitler's religious stance, rather than your personal belief. I truly hope it's not your belief.

From a religious viewpoint, you're correct, he was raised a Roman Catholic & received its rites, though always in conflict with its teachings, indeed of Christianity itself. Hitler, was essentially a megalomaniac (one who is mentally ill resulting in delusions of greatness about himself; & we likely have some around us now!) & a Gnostic, who, in one of its beliefs, considers one's own knowledge & mental prowess, to be above virtue & godliness. If anything, he was AN anti-Christ, of whom some in his day, even considered him to be THE one, but as Mickey has well described him: he is "like a choir boy compared to what the Antichrist has planned for the world". An apt description, as if a German (or an ally) was obedient & subservient to the Nazi philosophy & rules, then he got on okay; just as in the day of The Anti-Christ, when one is fully obedient to him. If any opposed him, the results would be horrific.

comment by Alex about y Jesus was born. It was that he might be multiplied in our hearts via a seed resulting from his death, when a seed dies it multiplies ( our new heart and new spirit ) is th result of his death,smite the shephard and the sheep will be scattered then i will turn my hand to the little ones a baby Christ which is the H.G. AS THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT OUR NEW INNERMAN has to be born in us. That was the great Promise in the beginning I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven speaking of abrahams' heavenly seed Christ Jesus. Thats y th woman ( humanity ) is giving birth simply b/c of his death, the only way we can see him is by his death, he said unless a seed dies it abides alone ( just 1 christ ) but if it dies it will bring forth much fruit (many Christ as the stars of heaven ) That was the great Promise,The fruit is his offspring the H.G. an Isrsel of God ,the multiplication of very God in humanity via his seed sown in us sinners. Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the Word of God but there wd have been no seed if he had not died,when a seed dies it multiplies that all the world might get a seed an incorruptible seed that is gonna destroy our old adamic nature thus destroying satans head mans adamic nature that is in rank with satans head.outta of the hearts of man proceeds all manner of evil, Thats y he refers to the H.G as the PROMISE,THE H.G is the multiplication of Christ that results from his seed th word th new covenant in our hearts thus a spritual pregnancy resulting in a Child, she brought forth a man child that is gonna rule all nations. The Child is the h.g. that is gonna rule all nations as Jesus said the spirit of truth is gona reprove the world of sin and righteous and judgement which answers to the kingdom of GOD coming from with in US. The reason issac was born was that abraham might be multiplied,The reason Jesus was born was that God might be multiplied in US sinners remember the PROMISE GB

Who told you that?

Hitler was not a Christian; not a minister of God.

His deeds were evil. He was a follower of Satan. He murdered over 6 million Jewish men, grandmothers, grandfathers, women, children, babies, so satan could destroy Gods people. Hurt God.

The only reason to remember his name is to warn people now that Hitler will seem like a choir boy compared to what the Antichrist has planned for the world. Repent

Be born again now. Choose Life. Help people you love, be born again too. Time is short.

Based on Romans 13:4; How can Hitler be a minister of God?

Where in the KJV is the scripture which says "Obey the laws of the land for these are the laws of God"? I'm not referring to Romans 13:1-7 or 1 Peter 2:13-17. What I'm looking for is in the Old Testament. Can anyone please help me? Thanks

There are Scripture references to this which are general warnings. The first one we cite is: Ephesians 5:18 "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit". Apostle Paul warns of high consumption of alcohol which leads to loss of self control & sin, but rather to be filled (drunk) with God's Spirit. A believer filled with the Holy Spirit is truly a joy to be near rather than one who is inebriated. Other references: Luke 21:34, Romans 13:13, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 6:10, Ephesians 5:18, Genesis 9:21, 19:30-36, Proverbs 20:1, 23:20,30,31, are some for you to look at. So, alcohol is not prohibited per se , but warnings are given which should alert us to its use/results.

"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." 2 Peter 1:20 We must remember there is only 1 way to understand God's Word. That one way is the true way God intended. There are no "interpretations". That is man's lie. I have trouble understanding things in the Bible too - I pray to God to increase my faith and help me understand. He always answers this prayer, because it is His will we understand! Go with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, brother!

The commandments of God are comprehensive and far reaching; in a few words they unfold the whole duty of man. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength..Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mark 12:30, 31. In these words the length and breadth, the depth and height, of the law of God is comprehended; for Paul declares, Love is the fulfilling of the law" Romans 13:10. The only definition we find in the Bible for sin is that "sin is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4. The Word of God declares, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

yes I have a question wat iz paul actually saying here in verse 1 thru verse 4 of Romans 13 and thank you in advance for your reply.

Barbara, there is severe punishment ( Hell Fire) if the person does turn from their evil ways, and turn to the living God and ask for forgiveness for their sins that they have committed, God is merciful and will forgive that person if they will turn to the Almighty God and repent of their evil ways.
Please read the following KJV bible scriptures: Romans 1:26-27 - 1 Timothy 1:10 - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Galatians 3:28 - Galatians 3:26-29 - 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Leviticus 18:22 - John 3:16 -
Romans 13:14 - Galatians 5:22-23.

Hi Dawn - the greatest commandment is: Love God above all, love thy neighbor as thyself. Following God requires love of Him first, and following His ways.

Paul is telling us to wake up.. Get dress and get to work.. God's work ...The greatest commandment...love thy neighbor as yourself... God bless you

Paul here is talking about the Ministers referring them as Rulers over the church. God was warning the church to obey the powers they Ministers are operating, it will be damnation to you when you disobey the power of God.

Verse 11 Wake up Verses 12 and 13 Get up Verses 14 Get dressed! And go to work for the cause of Christ!

The law is the 10 commandments and it shows what God requires of us to be obedient to Him. 1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin also transgresseth the law for sin is the transgression of the law. John 15:12 If ye love me keep my commandments. Romans 13:10 Love is the fulfilling of the law. 1st 4 commandments are about loving God last 6 commandments are about loving one another. Read Matt.22:36-40

Naomi Terry, please read these KJV Bible scriptures concerning your question, 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20 - Matthew 5:25 - Matthew 5:38-48 - Matthew 18:15-17 - Proverbs 16:7 - Proverbs 25:8 - Romans 13:1-7 - Exodus 23:2 - Exodus 23:6.

It is good if I could understand it, And I Love the Word of God Ican't intrpet it.

These gods you trust will flee. For it is written, And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

All That is Listed is of God. Whosoever Resisteth The Powers that are Ordained of God, Shall Receive to Themselves Damnation. For Rulers are Not a Terror to Good Works but to The Evil( Romans 13:1-14) Put Them in Mind to be Subject to Principalities and Powers to Obey Magistrates, Speak Evil of No Man, For You were Sometimes Foolish and Disobedient etc. ( Titus 3:1-15) Christ Died For Your Sins

All things you list are temporal, carnal, devised by men of the world; and cannot pluck from the hand of my Holy Father. Wisdom is to fear God, not man: but ye wicked attempt to prolong with fear. But now ye, having killed Christ, are afraid putting forth vanities for shew. For this very cause it is written, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Those Verses are Used. We all Need Law Enforcement,The Courts, Jails, Prisons, The Gallows. We Need to Pay Our Taxes to Keep Things Running. The Armed Forces Help to Protect Us and Others, it Gives Some of Us an Income. Without The System Charlie Manson would be on Every Corner. The Cowardly Run From The System.

Man, being mostly cowards, will usually take this chapter as obeying all authority whether it is evil or not. If you are honest, that's what most of you have seen. Why doesn't anyone ever quote verse three? "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:"

Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet..." Luke 18:20 "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness." **The commandment to honor the Sabbath is NOT found in the NT**

Verse 14~We must put on Jesus Christ like we would a garment. We do this by putting on the true Christian personality and following closely his example.

We see in Romans 13 that God has placed those in authority for His reasons.We are so blessed here in America that whether we agree or not, we can still express our opinions...peacefully. We are to get along with our neighbors and help when possible.,The night is far spent, we will see Jesus soon. Come quickly Lord Jesus.

Eternal truths- Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
