Josh Buice & Paul Washer’s application of Romans 13 was harmful to the Church – Podcast #53
In this Podcast I discuss G3 Josh Buice and Paul Washer’s wrong application of Romans 13 during the COVID “pandemic.” And I give examples how I have Biblically applied this Text as a police officer, which includes praising one Church, while killing an assassin at another Church.
Remember church. It is not discernment when one can only “discern” the obvious error among blatant false teachers. Discernment is being able to see the compromise or err among those that you highly regard within your theological camp (or closer to it), coupled with the courage to apply it.
Similarly to how Christians are to submit or subject ourselves to governing authorities, we should also subject ourselves to the office of the Elder in our churches. However, not if they go against the Scriptures (or are unbiblical). Or when they command us to do what the Scriptures forbid or forbid us to do what the Scriptures command.
Since YouTube has temporarily suspended my account (due to vaccine related videos), I have uploaded this video onto Rumble, and have also provided an mp3 audio file underneath the below video. For a link to their original podcast on their own G3 Conference YouTube channel, where they continue promoting this teaching via that video click here.

Update 04/2022: G3 Conference, Josh Buice, et.al. retaliated by getting me another ‘strike’ from YouTube, more about that here.

This is how #Romans13 is Biblically applied. The police officer closes in on the evil-doer to stop him from stabbing a woman, not close the church, as most pastors misapplied Romans 13. We can also see the doctrine of #interposition applied here, as the officer interposes on behalf of the victim. Ironically the suspect was an anti-gun activist but had no problem using a knife to slice and dice a woman. Justice was served, and the police officer that shot & killed this man did an excellent job.

‘Utter betrayal’: Florida pastor accused of Covid scam slammed by ex-associate’s son:
This is so sinister. Had these churches, ministries & sinister ministers refused to sinfully shut their churches & ministries down, they would have no need to fill their pockets with this filthy lucre. But even absent any fraud, they are greedy beggars who have embezzled their fellow taxpayers, as they fornicate with Caesar & the State. It’s a form of ecclesiastical adultery. Especially those churches that sued taxpayers for their self-inflicted Covid related troubles. Socialism, cowardness & greed suck!

California is a state of antinomianism, that literally hates God’s Law, but loves sin. In this case, 32-year-old Bryn Spejcher stabbed her boyfriend Chad O’Melia 108 times. Then turned the knife on a dog and herself.
.
The Scriptures describe this as “murder.” But our injustice system ruled that she didn’t kill her boyfriend. Her “marijuana-induced psychosis” did.
.
For many years I have preached the Law and Gospel at marijuana dispensaries, warning them that marijuana fits the sinful criteria of the “pharmakia” in Revelation 21:8 and that it does have the effect of witchcraft and sorcery. But it is also sinful and literal lawlessness to claim you can kill someone and blame marijuana for it.
.
It’s also wrong that our law enforcement has been trained and expected to use ‘less lethal’ force on a bloody dangerous suspect, who is still a threat, armed with the same weapon she used to kill someone with. Preferably the police shouldn’t have used a taser and batons to disarm her. They could have used one bullet. And if that did not work, a double-tap failure drill; two in the chest and one in the head. Albeit an officer would rather not.
.
But what should we expect? Today a majority of pastors wrongfully eisegete Romans 13 translating the “obey the authorities,” to close your church for a flu bug (vs 4). Not the correct exegesis, for the authorities to be “an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil” (vs 5). In other words. Pastors have allowed the church to be treated as the “evil,” and here the murderer becomes the “good.”
.
Nonetheless, do not be deceived, God will not be mocked. One day He will bring His justice to Spejcher, as well as everyone else involved.
.
That’s my Op-Ed and I’m sticking to it.
