Can we get a citation? I've actually read the bible, and no it doesn't.
I think he's referring to Romans 13:1.
Of course, it's his interpretation that it's them and the US specifically that God has given special favor. That citation is missing.
^1^Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God. ^2^Therefore, whoever resists authority opposes what God has appointed, and those who oppose it will bring judgment upon themselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that says election deniers are going to hell. Right?
