There?s a few different forces at work here. The Proverbs passages I posted made me think mostly about Trump and ironically even has a passage in it about frivolous court cases. I didn?t post the whole thing. The Constitution says I have to accept his rule whether I like it or not, so that?s what I do. My loyalty is to the Constitution, not him.
On the other hand, you have apolitical career civil servants who are subject matter experts in their field, and we should listen to their guidance. Dr. Fauci being the most famous and a shame the crisis had to turn political when it should have been dealt with at a different level.
As Americans it?s our job to question our government, but once you dig into the political attacks, it?s easy to see where the disinformation is coming from. It?s despicable Fauci had had to deal with death threats.
I knew your Proverbs verses were referring to Trump. Ironically, you also quoted Romans verse saying Christians are to submit to the governing authorities. Paul was writing that in the midst of Roman authorities and Jewish leaders were persecuting Christians, saying even those people are there positioned by God's divine providence. Obama, Trump, Biden, whoever becomes the President, they're there by God's providence and Christians' job is to submit, not to rebel. Of course, while we still submit, we do not obey laws and orders that are contrary to God's. If you're saying you're loyal to the governing authority whoever is the President, then you're doing the right thing as a Christian.
However, my questions are not about politics. My questions are originally about accepting datas and public information from people like Dr. Fauci and experts. Sure those people are the most famous indeed. But to me that doesn't give much credit of believing whatever they say. I actually think those people could be even more dangerous since most people are willing to accept whatever they say.
