The Youth Fellowship of ChangSha South City Church of HuNan province will study "Obeying authority: Christian concepts of church and State" at 19:30 of Oct 19  on a gathering with group discussion.

According to the WeChat of ChangSha South City Church, sister Li HongTing will be the speaker at this gathering, sharing the theme lection from the Rom.13.

There will be group discussion in this gathering, and the discussion will be related to the shared theme, covering 2 topics:

1.  :"Xia took the order from above." It's the earliest document about authority given by God. In Zhou dynasty of ancient China, allegedly king ZhouWu"took order from above", so he called himself the son of heaven for Zhou. How would you think about the similarities and differences between "authority is given by God" and "authorities that exist have been instituted by God"?

2.  In Rom.13, what are the expostulations that Paul gave to Christians and to authorities separately? How do you think about this lection: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except God."?
