Nairalanders!.. Is it right for a man of God a prophet to be precise pay reverence to a king?Does the bible support this act or against itI reckon that it is outright outrageous for a man of God to bow down before a king that engage in idolatry....can we have your take on this?

Romans 13:7

King James Version (KJV)

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Kelvin4224: Romans 13:7

King James Version (KJV)

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

I partly concur I don't think that text is literally referring to men of God...!How would you feel if you saw your pastor that preaches the word of God on the pulpit everyday prostrated before a worldly king?

King James Version (KJV)

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

It's refreshing to see people who identify as christians, yet have not abandoned logic and common sense. Good one.

Sadly, OP seems to be in the camp of disregard of all legal and cultural authorities. Trying to make christianity a usurper.

if you are religious you will comprehend my points.

B_CELLS: if you are religious you will comprehend my points.

Bros, I am a very religious person. i also understand that my religion does not usurp secular/state values and institutions. Why don't you give regard to the bible passage that says "render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's..". You being a christian does not exempt your from observing state/legal protocols and institutional hierarchies. When you get to your church, then by all means exercise your doctrines to the fullest, within your church. The king's palace or the presidential villa or govt ministry is not your church.

... And who is Not man of God here and how do we really know a man of God... I still don't understand...

Prostration for a king is not worshiping him, its just a greeting....so man of God should not greet a king?

There's nothing wrong with that.

Why should you worship a king
