Respectfully No!

Shadows Follow An Object Put in the Light.

Shadows Cannot Follow the Light itself, They Always Flee From The Light!

1 Samuel 13:13-14
Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

Black man amd black brain. No logic amd low IQ.

A black man is using a foreign religion to justify why he has to be a slave to his rulers and also why he must not demand accountability.

The reason wby no one takes black serious.

Mental slaves.

The greatest disservice to Christianity is misinterpreting the Bible out of context.

Why did Jesus make it an obligation to rebuke and reproove the Pharisees and other bad religious leaders?

Preach the Gospel, more grace man of God. It has been long I meet someone who is called into ministry on Nairaland. It's nice meeting you sir, more grace in ministry sir

I am Deeply Honoured by You! It is Much Respected and I Pray to Lord Most High, That I Never Disappoint Him, While Praying that the Eyes, Ears, Noses, and Feelings of My Brothers in Nigeria May Be Open To See and Understand the Great Goodness of the Lord, which He Has Poured on Us Already, But it is Only for Those Who See It, Perceive It and Take it, That can Have It!

Blessings to You Too Sir, For Hearing These Things I Say, For They Are in Deed True, Myself Doing Them Also!

You people have started again, is ii not written that if you Doeth well praise lieth at the door? But when a honorable man falls, great shame and cursing followeth after him?"

You are right... Curse will follow, but those who will curse the leader will partake in the lake of fire.

Criticizing is not insult!!

Correcting is not insult!!

If a leader rapes someone and you call him a rapist, it is not an insult!!

Even young Christian Paul rebuked — to correct — one of the closest apostles to Jesus, Peter. You can rebuke, but insulting is Against the Word of God.

People who do not well should not be there in the first place. And if they confirm our feeling, then they must be cursed out, if they do not wisely bow out with the last drop of dignity remaining in them

Do you think they got there by your power? God put them whether they know it or not.

To insult anybody at all is against the word of God.
Titus 3: 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

The Bible passages quoted seem incoherent (sorry I mean no harm) .

The first quote obviously refer to the religious leader, and more specifically the prophets. Knowing the christocentricity of Bible theology, the leader is ultimately Christ. You don't have to agree, but I think it's referring to blasphemy, not some casual expression of disapproval of a king.

Because if we go by your explanation, then John the baptist insulted Herod; Elijah insulted Ahab; the prophets who voiced their concerns with the bad kings "insulted" the king.

IPeter refers to speaking evil of people in revenge, not kings/rulers. If you read patiently, you'll see it's about how Christians in persecution need to bless and not curse their persecutors

Do you know Abraham lied, God defended him; Moses married from the wrong place, and God defended him. But when Ananias and Saphira lied, Holy Spirit killed them instantly.

The question is... Are you as close to God as John the Baptist, Elijah and Abraham was? If you are not and you are going against the word of God, you are playing with Hell fire.

Oga that instruction was directed at the Israelites by God through Moses. Are you an Israelite?? You people will be interpreteing what they did not ask you to interprete.

Your point made Paul had serious issue with the other Jewish disciples. They finally resolved this issue after they agreed to let gentile Christians, we, to obey the moral laws of Moses and not the ceremonial laws.

If you think it is meant for Israelites alone, it means HEAVEN is built for them alone.

The Bible verse you quoted was specific. There is a huge difference between insult and curse. Some people tend to misinterpret the Bible to justify what suits them. The Bible said CURSE while your topic says INSULT. They're two different things entirely.
Any leader that doesn't treat his people well deserve to be insulted. Curse is a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something. People Insult these days and not curse. Please do not misquote

Brother, read it again...it says curse not and revile not — the revile means to insult.

Any man who is born again is already closer to God than them. As close as your heart is to you is how God is. God indwells the believer.
