Peter and paul still say that the king is the minister to all, the minister of god, a revenger on those who do evil. So the message some of these loyalists said was, obey all rulers, even the bad ones. Respect authority because god put them in authority for a reason. So what you call patriotism is really just ambition. Its selfishness in disguise. And all patriotic revolts do is create more violence. Now what about the patriotic argument . What are the patriots going to do with texts like fear god and honor the king . What are the patriots going to do with texts that say that the Civil Authority are the revengers of god on wrongdoers, obey them just as if youre obeying god . What can you do with that . Is there anywhere you can go with that . Well, of course. Lets see. Jonathan mayhew, long before the revolution, concerning unlimited submission. That title is really helpful.

In this session he will examine specific biblical texts in how they were used for making the patriotic calls for war. Case for war.
