Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
My question pertains to two passages. The first one, 1 Peter 2:13-14 reads (NKJV),
Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him…

Two verses use the Greek ποίημα (G4161):
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excu…
