It is an aloof, unemotional majority that merely observes what happens and states an opinion. In the last half of this century, Americans have not reacted with unemotional apathy in times of crisis. Even among us right here right now, there would be a strong difference of opinion about what Christians should do. Many of our suggestions would be reactionary and emotional. I call your attention to two statements written by Paul in the New Testament.
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities.
For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Paul gave these instructions to Christians who lived in the capital city of the Roman empire during the rule of Nero.
