Bret responds,
2.) The Declaration was in error when it said that “the authority of the government is derived from the consent of the governed.” This is one of the weaknesses of the Declaration. This is humanist reasoning. Are you a humanist Scott? Don’t answer that… we already know the answer. In all case the authority of government is derived from the reality of God and His Law-Word.

2.) Someone ought to tell Scottie to remember the promise made to the people when Samuel presided over the installation of Saul as king.
In point of fact we learn from Deuteronomy that God always envisioned a time when His people would have a king showing that the problem was never with a King but the problem was with wicked hearts set against God.
Deuteronomy 17:14 “When you have come to the land that the Lord your God is about to give you, and you have taken possession of it and have settled in it, then you will say, ‘I will appoint a king over me like all the nations around me.’ 15 You will certainly set a king over you, whom the Lord your God will choose from among your relatives, but you must not place a foreign king over you who is not from your relatives. 16 He must not amass horses for himself or cause the people to return to Egypt to obtain more horses, because the Lord said you must never return that way again. 17 Also, he must not accumulate wives for himself (otherwise, his affection will become diverted), nor accumulate for himself excessive quantities of[a] silver and gold. 18 When he occupies his royal throne, he must make a copy of this Law for himself from a scroll used by the Levitical priests. 19 It is to remain with him the rest of his life so he may learn to fear the Lord his God and observe all the words of this Law and these statutes, in order to fulfill them. 20 He is not to exalt himself over his relatives, nor turn aside from the commandment—neither to the right nor to the left—so that he and his sons may reign long in Israel.”
