Dualism Dismantled

Romans 13 deals a massive blow against the idea of dualism (or the false sacred/secular distinction), because Paul touches possibly the most offensive sphere of life in the thinking of the dualistic mindset, namely, the political realm and proceeds to say that this aspect of life has been designed and ordained by God in Heaven. The sermon emphasizes the necessity of obeying the God ordained authority structures placed over us but also addresses the difficult question about resisting tyranny.
