is gw(bush) in power in america? yes
then we can say he is in power of God.
[""There is one path to God, not because He is limited in His power or His character"]
was gw(ashington) in power in america? yes
then we can say he was in power of God.
how did gw(ashington) get in power?
therefore the revolution was justified in that the result was (clearly) God's will.
except maybe God wished to bring about gw(ashington)'s presidency through other means. maybe God had another plan that did not involve war. but, reading the bible...the idea of war being in the will of God does not seem the least bit strange.
lets look at another revolution...one that has lasted for thousands of years.
who was in power over the earth? man
who took power over the earth? satan (was satan ordained to rule by God?)
was that revolution justified?
is satan to be over thrown? yes
by whom?
its a funny thing how everything that happens is 'the will of God' and yet we worry about whether or not we are 'doing the will of God' (with good reason)
