ROMANS 13 DOESN'T APPLY TO UNRIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT
OR UNRIGHTEOUS CHURCH LEADERS
FEMA COUNTING ON PASTORS TO SELL OUT
GOD & THEIR CONGREGATIONS
FOR GOVERNMENT PROTECTIONS & TYRANNY
As information increases, we will be expanding on this subject which we started to do in our previous posts:http://ratherexposethem.blogspot.com/2014/07/over-26000-pastors-trained-by-fema-to.html, and
http://ratherexposethem.blogspot.com/2014/01/prostitution-of-american-pastors.html
Is your pastor ready to sell out God, the gospel, and his congregation for protection and benefits from government, turning lordship over to the state from Christ?
Consider now that pastors are being welcomed by federal agencies to assist in times of crisis, disaster, and events precipitated by Obama and his obedient godless minions for the sake of increasing control over us and erasing our God given rights. The only caveat is that they deny the Christian faith and subscribe to an apostate universal religion of government making, devoid of Scripture, the true gospel, evangelizing and/or proselytizing.
These are the same anointed ones that told us that they and we should adhere to the separation of church and state, while at the same time repudiating biblical separation from apostate denominations and apostates themselves.

FEMA training Pastors for emergency response:
U.S. Preparing for Martial Law
And You Won't Believe Who is Helping Them:
Resisting tyrants: A Christian position:
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Have you read lately any of the information floating around the Internet about how Obama is supposedly preparing to declare martial law in the event of any minor crisis in an effort for gun confiscation, allowing him to gain nearly dictatorial powers?
A couple of days ago the national Tea Party website had an article about how FEMA is training pastors to be on the front lines of a martial law declaration by preaching to their congregations Romans 13:1-6 which teaches believers to be obedient to their civil government leaders. A “pastor Paul Revere” (name changed to either protect him or make verification impossible) related how his FEMA training revolved around teaching Romans 13; working with stubborn community individuals with their “cowboy mentality” so that they would be willing to give up their guns; encouraging farmers to give up their livestock and produce for the greater good; and helping citizens to relocate to “community centers” (detention camps) in the event of a national crisis. Many different websites (a few being Beforeitsnews.com, infowars.com, investmentwatchblog.com) ran that same article which had a supporting document proffered by “Paul Revere.”
I read most of that long document, and it was nothing more than standard form instructions to volunteers on how to assist during a bird flu epidemic; no detention camps, no gun-grabbing. I was just about ready to assign this one permanent “wacko conspiracy status” until I found a report from KSLA News 12 out of Shreveport, La., entitled “Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared.” Dr. Durell Tuberville is a chaplain with the Caddo Sheriff’s Office and the Shreveport Fire Department. He stated that his clergy team’s mission was basically to help folks “cooperate and get this thing over with and then we will settle the differences once the crisis is over.” Part of that strategy, he stated, is making people of faith aware of Romans 13. If gun confiscation was ordered, Romans 13 would be the “Scriptural club” to whack believers over the head with to enforce compliance.
Is there really a nation-wide FEMA training initiative that Obama has instituted to train pastors in forcing compliance in gun confiscation in such a scenario? I honestly don’t know — it would seem likely that many more pastors would be “coming out” in the whistleblower role if it were true. Neither would it surprise me much if it proved to be true. Not long ago Vice President Joe Biden met with several influential pastors at the White House — evangelicals such as Richard Cizik and Franklin Graham along with ministers of other faiths — to encourage them to use their influence to help Obama pass his gun control measures. Chuck Baldwin of NewsWithViews.com (May 16, 2013) asserts that both George W. Bush and Obama had FEMA conducting pastor training programs to assist in depriving citizens of all their rights and liberties in the event of a crisis, including forced relocation and gun confiscation.
What strikes me as strange and a bit depressing from a Christian point of view is the misuse of Romans 13 as that “billy club” for believers. Christians are supposed to be obedient to civil authorities in all situations regardless of the circumstances? Think of the implications if that were to be followed blindly and “religiously.”
Back in 1775 King George tried confiscating the colonist’s weapons stored in Concord, Mass. Most of the pastors in Colonial America preached from their pulpits against this “act of tyranny” and informed their congregants of their Biblical rights to lawful self-defense. Are you aware that right before World War II it was Adolf Hitler who instructed the clergy to preach Romans 13 so that Christians would be submissive to the Nazis and to the dictator himself? Do Christians, and citizens in general, have no right to resist evil dictators? No right to form our own American government?
Back in 1775 pastors were publicly preaching the right to resist tyrannical rulers. Now we have seminary trained pastors teaching their congregations that Christians have no right to resist evil rulers, no right to “bear arms,” and we should all probably be pacifists. Dietrich Bonhoffer was a Lutheran pastor back during WWII who was a pacifist, but when he saw the horrors of the Nazi regime he became active in resisting Hitler and was eventually executed. He now is regarded as one of the Christian heroes of the faith.
There are some very important presuppositions in that Romans 13 chapter — that the ruler rewards those who do right and punishes those who do wrong (verse 3); that he “does good” as God’s servant (verse 4). This passage is sandwiched between verses that forbid taking personal revenge on people (that’s what civil courts are for) and being an unruly, fighting, murderous type of person.
But what of the ruler who is evil — who does obvious wrong? Think of Daniel in the Old Testament disobeying the King’s command to worship only King Darius — the basis for the “Daniel in the Lion’s Den” story. Think of King Nebuchadnezzar ordering his citizens to bow and worship before his golden statue; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused and were thrown into a fiery furnace for execution.
Both Daniel and the three Hebrew men were rescued by God, but their noncompliance is admirable. Think of the Magi (wise men) who were ordered by King Herod to return and tell him where the baby Christ (Jesus) was located — they disobeyed and returned to their home country. Think of the Lord’s Apostles who were ordered not to teach about this “Jesus” by the Sanhedrin — the highest court in Israel. Their answer was “We must obey God rather than men”!
I think it’s time for pastors to seriously investigate scriptures to determine what the “Christian” position should be in regard to opposing governmental leaders who become dictatorial. Perhaps they should research what pastors were preaching back during the formation of our own system of government. I will close this article with a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God” — the phrase which Ben Franklin urged to be the motto on the Great Seal of the United States.

FEMA PARTNERS WITH NVOAD
Fema Training Pastors to Prep for MARTIAL LAW: Confiscation and Forced Relocations Right Around The Corner
EXCERPT:
Local FEMA’s (‘across the US’ according to a spokesman at our local meeting) are gathering Ministers (Pastors) to help in the event of a “declaration of Martial Law or like police action following a declared emergency or quarantine due to an act of bioterrorism”. The discussion centered around the need of ‘locals’ to “quell the cowboy mentality” of farmers who may have their stock or crops confiscated and subsequently destroyed.
FEMA and other Disaster Agencies (NVOAD in particular: www.nvoad.org) are training volunteers in a “Peer to Peer” program. That program trains people to assist FEMA in a neighborhood setting– teams reach out to neighbors in a declared emergency and “get their neighbors to obey authorities”. According to our spokesman, Ministers will be especially helpful because “you guys and gals can use Romans 13″.
NVOAD: Community Preparedness
"The purpose of the Community Preparedness Committee will be to apply and promote the 4C’s to nationwide community preparedness, including promoting ‘preparedness’ as a national civic virtue and duty, identifying and sharing best practices, and collaborating with all sectors to identify and promote innovative ways to enhance community preparedness. National VOAD will soon be collaborating with DHS/FEMA and HHS/CDC as co-branded partners promoting existing national preparedness exercises and campaigns. Such initiatives that could involve all members will increase community engagement and awareness, as well as the awareness of National VOAD and its members’ role in the disaster cycle. The Committee will support staff to coordinate such nationwide activities among members."
NVOAD: Emotional & Spiritual Care
The Emotional and Spiritual Care Committee’s mission is to foster emotional and spiritual care to people affected by disaster in cooperation with national, state and local response organizations and VOADs. The National VOAD ESCC accomplishes its mission in several ways: Embracing the unique contribution of various mental health disciplines and faith based groups. Identify specific issues of emotional and spiritual needs as a significant component of disaster response. Educate state and local VOADs and non-affiliated partners about the emotional and spiritual needs in disasters. Promote best practices, standards and models to provide effective emotional and spiritual care.

FEMA: Founding Fathers Were Terrorists!
Uploaded on Mar 3, 2009
The United States Government, through FEMA, is teaching Law Enforcement personnel and Firefighters that America's Founding Fathers were Terrorists and that modern-day Bible believing Christians and Patriots are the "real" enemy!
This Video is from an Oklahoma meeting where a FEMA representative is brainwashing his audience of local police and firefighters into believing that the founding fathers were "terrorists", and demonizing Christians and patriots.
What is it that those in charge of FEMA fear about Godly Christian patriots that would make them go so far as to lie about America's Founding Fathers?
Constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story said, "One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the Militia. The friends of a free Government cannot be too watchful, to overcome the dangerous tendency of the public mind to sacrifice to mere private convenience this powerful check upon the designs of ambitious men."
Another true American patriot, George Mason, said, "Why should we not provide against the danger of having our militia, our real and natural strength, destroyed? The general government ought, at the same time, to have some such power. But we need not give them power to abolish our militia.... They may effect the destruction of the militia, by rendering the service odious to the people themselves, by harassing them from one end of the continent to the other, and by keeping them under martial law."
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said, "Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
This is why the global dictatorial elitists in charge of FEMA are afraid of freedom loving Godly Christian patriots who defend the U.S. Constitution. The global elitists behind FEMA's policies know that in order to subdue America they must first brainwash the general public by demonizing those who adhere to the U.S. Constitution. If these global tyrants can convince a significant number of Americans to disarm their fellow citizens they can then move in "by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the Militia" and bring the people of our once free nation "under martial law" to implement their New World Order dictatorship!

Alex breaks down how the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies exploit social media to keep the endless war on terror alive. However beyond that the U.S. has created, fostered, supported and funded numerous terrorist organizations including ISIS, and now they are using the threat of them to scare the public into the police state and the total takeover.
