I will be writing a series of posts focusing on the un-Christian nature of the Revolutionary War. Part 1 will focus on the historical context of the Revolutionary War. Part 2 will be on the "submission to authority" aspect. Part 3 will focus on the "justification/payment of taxes". And part 4 will be about the "use of force or violence against enemies." 

 

To start off, this is a list of definitions I will be using:

 

Rebellion--an organized attempt to overthrow a governing authority with the use of violence.

Taxes--an amount of money levied by the government to run a country, state or colony.

Submit/obey--to agree to follow or behave in accordance with laws or instructions.

Seditionist--one whose actions or words are intented to provoke or incite rebellion against a government authority.
