Rebellion
by Mike Rule

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idol-worship. Because you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, He has also rejected you from being king! (1 Samuel 15:23 MKJV)

This passage is often misused to control people: Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft!!! Is that true 100% of the time? Really? Thank God that not everything that is true is TRUTH! If all rebellion were always wrong then the world would be in big trouble.

The context of this passage is speaking of those who are rebelling and rejecting God's direction. But many people rebel BY God's direction....

After all, Jesus Christ was a rebel too, and He knew NO sin!

Think about it.
