Recently Jeff Sessions, the US Attorney General, quoted the
Bible to defend the US Administration on the family separation issue on the
southern US border. Specifically, the Bible passage he referred is the
following:
“Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there
is no power but of God. Whosoever resists the power, resists the ordinance of
God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves condemnation. For rulers
are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Should you not then be afraid of
the power? Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same.”
(Rom.12:1-3)
