Hello anybody There?

“Give us a king that he may rule over us..” 1 Sam 8:6
Obeying authority is one thing, desiring/choosing/electing authority is another. Desiring that another man should rule over me? Not just that but deciding for my neighbors that a man should rule over them? Not sure about any of that.. voting feels like I’m uniting myself to a body of other people and that feels gross.
Edit: feels like I’m uniting myself to a body of people for the purpose of imposing our will over another body of people.. That’s what feels gross. Or rude at the very least.

Ok , then I will be one of the people who choose for you . You’re welcome .
octoberose:
That didn’t come across very nice . I’ll try again . Do you choose anything at all for other people ? A teacher chooses quite a lot for their students , someone else chooses the curriculum , the guys in industry decide what you will buy , what is available and what color it’s in . My son in law sources the beef for a major grocery chain . His decisions affect your table . I’ve known commanding generals that decide on how the defense of this country is implemented . Etc, etc , etc , And yes , all under the direction and Hand of their creator . We are a part of each other’s experience . Some in big ways , some in little bitty ways .
I really am trying to love my neighbor as myself in this regard so people won’t needlessly suffer . But truly I fear we are at a crisis point and God is bringing this age to an end before too long .

You will be only one of many who band together as one voice to impose your will on your neighbors.. as others band together to do the same to you. You will do as the Lord has decided you will do. And I will do as the Lord has decided I will do and that is to be a witness in these times, and not to take a side in the civil war that is taking place.
Families are hating (murdering) each other, lifelong friends are hating (murdering) each other.. parents against children, brothers against brothers.. members of the same house
1 John 3:15
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
