Surely, it was ordained by God in His Providence, but I'm not convinced it was fought on the grounds of being obedient to His Word. I somewhat take it as men meant it for evil, whereas God meant it for good . Any opinions? John Chaney "having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith . . ."

The Revolutionary War was an act of legal authority, which as I recall is proper according to "Lex Rex". The same could possibly be argued for Gov. Bush sending in state troopers against court orders. This is different from individuals acting against the decree of the courts. Soli Deo Gloria John Schultz
