This is wrong apostles are to be sent out to build new work. The Holy Spirit is the one who should make decisions and direct. We do not need Apostles (bishops) to do this. Apostles are not kings. That is a very dangerous model.<br /><br />Old Testament kings were not God’s best. They were put in place in a sub-optimal situation, so they are not a good model for the church.<br /><br />Saul and David were the only kings to be anointed by a prophet (Jehu was too, but he was not an ideal, but evil to get rid of evil). Most other kings either seized power or inherited power, not an ideal option for the church.<br /><br />The king should have been a <a href="http://www.kingwatch.co.nz/Law_Government/military_leader.htm" rel="nofollow">Temporary Military Leader</a>, to deliver the people from an external threat. That was why they were anointed for this task by a prophet. Saul and David led their nations to a military victory, but once the victory was won, their role disappeared. <br /><br />God never intended them to be like Gentile Kings. Controlling Kings, judging, making decisions were never part of God’s plan. <br /><br />Apostles are not kings. Prophets should not be annointing kings and controllers in the church.<br /><br />PS Your picture of Palin is probably not lust, but it is presidolatory, <br />which is a more serious sin, related to the comment above.Ron McKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989126812730583009noreply@blogger.com
