unrighteousness.”

Pt. 2Pt. 2
6. The Royal Family Honor Code demands authority orientation in the form of
self imposed academic discipline when the Pastor is
teaching Bible doctrine.
7. Authority orientation is life orientation, honor and humility. The greater the authority over people, the
greater the responsibility to people.
8. Human freedom provides the option of accepting or rejecting authority in life,
both legitimate and illegitimate.
9. Arrogance results from the rejection of legitimate
authority and in turn supports illegitimate
authority in life.
God designed authority for a purpose and no matter how you try or what you do you never gain by undermining
authority.
Rejection of authority does carry responsibility and
results in a life of misery, unhappiness, disaster, and no human or spiritual self-
esteem.
God has delegated authority through His mandates in both the Old Testament,
Deut 11:27; 1 Sam 15:22; Jer 7:25, 11:4,7; Zech 6:15,
and the New Testament.
a. a. God has authority over nature, and nature obeys
God, Mat 8:27; Mark 4:41; Luke 8:25; Rom 8:20-22.
c. c. The Pastor-Teacher and church officers have
authority over the congregation in the local church, 1 Cor 16:15-16; 2 Cor 10:8; 1 Thes 5:12; Heb 13:7, 17; Isa 54:17.
d. d. Government has authority over its people to protect the
sanctity of their freedom, property, and human life.
Rom 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15
e. e. The husband has authority over the wife. The husband's
authority over his wife provides great happiness,
Eph 5:22; Col 3:18.
h. h. Management has authority over labor. Authority in business
stabilizes the economy, Eph 6:5-8; Col 3:22-25.
i. i. Freedom through military victory is based on the
principle of the authority of military rank, Neh 4:13-15.
Rom 13:1,“Let every person be in
subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are
established by God.”
Isa 54:17, “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
declares the LORD.”
