Jesus, Warrior King Subtitled: or Jesus is not a pacifist

government. We must not confuse their unique functions, for they are completely
different. It is extremely important for us to make a distinction between the contrasting
services that are to be rendered to God by the CHURCH and the GOVERNMENT! In
the epistle of Romans, chapters 12 and 13, these services are briefly summarized. The
general function of human government, as instituted by God, may be said to be threefold:
[1] To protect citizens, [2] To punish the evildoers, [3] And to promote the general
welfare of the community where its laws are in effect.
Let us deal with these in turn:
[1] To protect its citizens – The oath of office the local, State or Federal armed forces
take is to protect and defend the United States and its citizens from all enemies foreign
or domestic. There job description under this "oath of office" simply put is to stop
evildoers from infringing upon U.S. Citizens God-given rights. Notice the opening
statement of the U.S. Constitution: "We the people of the United States, in order to form
a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United
States of America." Because the armed forces, this includes local police, take an oath to
do their duty does not remove a private citizen's personal duty under God to also do all
he can to secure and maintain these liberties afore mentioned. This personal duty would
quite naturally include defending his/her selves, family, friends and neighbors from
enemies who would do them harm. I don't see how the obligation of this personal duty
under God can be questioned. As a matter of fact the private citizenry have and do work
hand and hand with paid armed forces.
[2] To punish the evildoer – This is exactly what the police at Kent State University
are in the process of doing at this writing. After viewing a video of the entire ordeal
(harassment and assault upon my person), the governmental authorities exonerated me
while charging the evildoers with assault. Make no mistake, dear reader, the governing
authorities judged me innocent of any crime or wrongdoing as I attempted to preserve
my physical well-being. So how can it possibly be that Pastor Williams, who
acknowledges such governmental authority as God's ministers, cannot bring himself to
agree with the same, accusing those they call innocent of being guilty? It would appear
that Pastor Williams has a conflict to settle with God.
Proverbs 17:15: He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even
they both are abomination to the LORD.
God's ministers, as their job description clearly points out in Romans 13:3, punish the
evil man and praise the good. Without the benefit of righteous judgment or the desire to
execute it, one can only succeed in displeasing God and cause Him to wonder, as it is
