There are several different views of what Paul meant when he said that we would heap coals of fire on our enemies heads by doing good to them, but whatever he meant it must include the ideas that we should do good to them and not seek vengeance (as opposed to restitution and justice) for wrongs done to us. That's God's job, and he has delegated much of that responsibility to civil government.
Paul goes on in chapter 13 to talk about our relationship to governing authorities, and there are different views of what he meant by this too. Ultimately, it still comes down to respecting authorities within their spheres of delegated authority and still obeying God's commandments regardless of what men say.

00:00:01welcome back to common sense bible study and journey through the book of romans
00:00:06last time we left off on romans 12 19 i think i'll start reading with 18 just as a brief
00:00:13recap
00:00:14i keep thinking oh we've gotten past all the really controversial stuff no there's there's
00:00:19no end to it in romans it's all controversial so yeah the next few verses are going to be
00:00:25controversial in the first part of chapter 13 and then we've got romans 14 that's talking about
00:00:31well all kinds of stuff that we can get into so let's go on to the reading if possible so
00:00:39far as
00:00:40it depends on you live peaceably with all beloved never avenge yourselves but leave it to the wrath
00:00:46of god for it is written vengeance is mine i will repay says the lord to the contrary if your
00:00:52enemy
00:00:53is hungry feed him if he is thirsty give him something to drink for by so doing you will
00:00:57heap burning coals on his head do not overcome do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good
00:01:05let every person be subject to the governing authorities for there is no authority except
00:01:09from god and those that exist have been instituted by god therefore whoever resists the authorities
00:01:15resists what god has appointed and those who resist will incur judgment for rulers are not a terror to
00:01:21good conduct but to bad would you have no fear of the one who is in authority then do what
00:01:25is good
00:01:26and you will receive his approval for he is god's servant for your good but if you do wrong be
00:01:31afraid
00:01:31for he does not bear the sword in vain for he is the servant of god an avenger who carries
00:01:36out god's
00:01:36wrath on the wrongdoer therefore one must be in subjection not only to avoid god's wrath but also for
00:01:42the sake of conscience for because of this you also pay taxes for the authorities are ministers of god
00:01:49attending to this very thing pay to all what is owed to them taxes to whom taxes are owed revenue
00:01:55to whom revenue is owed respect to whom respect is owed honor to whom honor is owed all right so
00:02:01let's
00:02:01go back to verse 18 and we did talk about this one last week just as a recap if possible
00:02:10so far as it
00:02:11depends on you live peaceably with all and obviously paul is recognizing that it's not always possible
00:02:17and it doesn't always depend on you frequently other people are simply determined to make trouble
00:02:24they're determined to take advantage of you to try to get you to do evil so you can't always live
00:02:33at
00:02:33peace with everybody but you can at least give it a try and you can avoid being a creating controversy
00:02:41on your own you can try to avoid creating division as long as you aren't the source of it is
00:02:47what paul
00:02:48is emphasizing here so far as it depends on you if somebody's going to create problems let it be the
00:02:53other guy not you all right so let's move on to verse 19 beloved never avenge yourselves but leave it
00:03:00to the wrath of god for it is written vengeance is mine i will repay says the lord okay this
00:03:07seems pretty
00:03:07straightforward i don't have a whole lot to say about this because one thing to keep in mind is
00:03:14this is not about ensuring justice you know if somebody does somebody wrong this isn't saying you
00:03:21shouldn't report it to whatever authorities you shouldn't try to hold people accountable it's not
00:03:25what this is about this is about if somebody cheats you if somebody offends you you have the option to
00:03:32let it go if that makes sense you know obviously if this person has a habit of doing wrong
00:03:36and they're going to hurt other people then you need to do something to stop that and you have a
00:03:41responsibility to make sure that justice is served but if this is just something done to you
00:03:47you don't have a responsibility to pay that person back protect yourself if you can protect your family
00:03:55certainly your community but you know once something is done you don't have to go back and make
00:04:02somebody else suffer because they made you suffer and that's not really what the law is about the law
00:04:08isn't there just to make people suffer because they made somebody else suffer it's primarily there to
00:04:14make restitution to correct things that have been done wrong and if somebody has wronged you and it can
00:04:20be corrected by all means go to them i mean you follow the the matthew 18 path and go to
00:04:27that person and
00:04:27see if they will make it right willingly and if not bring somebody else you know go through the whole
00:04:32thing
00:04:32and even go to the government if you have to that should be a last resort but you know sometimes
00:04:37it's
00:04:38possible sometimes it's necessary put it that way so what are your thoughts on this passage and what does it
00:04:44mean to not avenge yourself to leave it to the wrath of god what does that mean in your view
00:04:51or do you have
00:04:52examples taking revenge if someone hurts you rather than staying within yourself i am going to take revenge
00:05:06because this person has caused me pain right yeah and some people can really cause you some pain
00:05:17and you have to be very strong in the lord and in his word to withdraw from taking revenge because
00:05:32when we feel pain that is the time we need to get into a secluded spot and communicate with god
00:05:42because pain can push you over the edge so we must not take revenge from anyone that has hurt our
00:05:57feelings
00:05:58when you're feeling that pain get into your closet and talk to god because he's going to defuse
00:06:07all that hurt and pain if you allow him to once you put the matter in his hand he's going
00:06:15to deal
00:06:16accordingly with that person that has caused you pain yeah god's judgment is is going to be unpleasant
00:06:26enough and it's not our responsibility to make people hurt just because they make other people hurt
00:06:34god has given us a responsibility to try to stop people from hurting others and to make it right
00:06:39when we can but making it right i mean making somebody else hurt because they hurt somebody
00:06:46isn't making it right that doesn't actually help anybody uh in with the exception that it does teach
00:06:53people a lesson i mean there is a time when you hurt somebody because they hurt somebody else
00:06:57you know that's what solomon when he's talking about is spare the rod spoil the child and
00:07:03if you love your son you're going to discipline him well that discipline frequently means corporal
00:07:08punishment and but the point there isn't just to make the other person suffer it's to instruct them
00:07:15you know a rod for the back of fools that's to keep the fool from making the same foolish mistakes
00:07:20not just to make him suffer for the sake of suffering hopefully that makes sense
00:07:25well it has a saying that haunting people hoard people and that is true yes they people who have
00:07:35been hurt especially hurt over a long period of time or when young they tend to lash out at other
00:07:41people and that's you know it's because they haven't developed the skills to be able to deal with
00:07:48that they haven't learned a healthy way to react to abuse in the world
00:07:55and so they react by lashing out and that just makes the problems worse because david says it's a
00:08:03terrible thing to fall in the hands of god so when you think you're going to take revenge
00:08:10and that appease your conscience you're making a big mistake leave it to god and let god deal with
00:08:17that person and at the same time pray for that person yeah it is worth looking at the source i
00:08:26mean paul is
00:08:27quoting from deuteronomy here deuteronomy 32 35 and move this over to the screen vengeance is mine in
00:08:36recompense for the time when their foot shall slip for the day of their calamity is at hand and their
00:08:41doom
00:08:41comes swiftly and the context here is let's see go all the way back to the beginning okay so this
00:08:50is
00:08:50talking about this is talking first it's talking about god's people who have behaved unfaithfully
00:08:57but it's also talking about people who abuse god's people and god is god is watching all of this and
00:09:04he
00:09:05pays attention and he's when you repent if you repent god erases your your debt of sin and he
00:09:15doesn't remember this stuff anymore that doesn't mean that there aren't consequences for things you've
00:09:19done but god's wrath is cooled i guess would be a good word by repentance so when he's talking about
00:09:30paying people back and punishing people this is about people who have not repented and
00:09:36frequently he's usually talking about nations and groups of people of course this does apply to
00:09:44individuals but you know in context this is talking about entire generations of people
00:09:48and in the history of israel god's wrath was poured out by invasion from external forces
00:09:56and exile and this was always a terrible thing i mean obviously war is a terrible thing and
00:10:03israel being disciplined by their own god you know that that seems cruel people are always saying you
00:10:11know why does god allow us terrible things to happen well it's because people do terrible things and
00:10:15they need to suffer the consequences of what they're doing and god loves his people so he allows
00:10:22terrible things to happen to them when they behave badly and his purpose isn't just to make them suffer
00:10:31his purpose is corrective it's to bring them back into the fold to drive them to repentance
00:10:36and it's a little bit different when people with people who are not his people who are not gods
00:10:42who don't belong to god i mean he when it's time for him to judge those people like the nations
00:10:49that
00:10:49he has used to discipline israel in those cases they are frequently destroyed his purpose isn't to save
00:10:57them his purpose is to rescue his own people so there are two ways that you can suffer the wrath
00:11:03of god
00:11:03and none of them are pleasant but it's a whole lot better to be his people than to not be
00:11:08his people
00:11:10hopefully that all makes sense
00:11:12yes it does it was even when you look at absalom and david absalom was hounding david because he wanted
00:11:24to get even with him
00:11:25but david the love that he had in his heart for his son that even when he heard that his
00:11:34son got killed
00:11:36he was wailing and he was crying of absalom my son absalom and i believe that is the love that
00:11:47we're supposed to have
00:11:49not only for biological children but for people on the whole and that's why he says commit everything to god
00:11:57and let god deal with the situation instead of us trying to deal with the situation ourselves
00:12:07that that story we've been watching little house on the prairie lately
00:12:11and that show it's a great show but i mean it was still made by hollywood crazy people
00:12:18so i mean there's a lot of a lot of stuff that they sneak into it but
00:12:22they it was a it was entertainment created for a people who were
00:12:28still very well versed in the scriptures
00:12:31i mean even in the the 70s and early 80s
00:12:35america was still mostly a christian nation
00:12:39even i mean most people knew the bible most people went to church
00:12:43you know by the end of the 80s i think that had changed there was a that was a
00:12:46really fast change in the population in our culture
00:12:49but they frequently refer to the bible and there was an episode we watched recently where a man
00:12:58was making excuses for his son and didn't want to punish him and uh somebody in the episode i don't
00:13:04don't remember who it was referred to that story of absalom and david
00:13:08and they were saying you know just remember david that you know absalom tried to kill him
00:13:13and still david didn't want to punish him didn't want him to suffer
00:13:18and
00:13:19when i think about god and his relationship with his people
00:13:23he doesn't want his people to suffer either but
00:13:26he is
00:13:27you know david isn't god
00:13:29and
00:13:31god will cause his people to suffer
00:13:33when they need to in order to
00:13:35create something better for them
00:13:38if they are sinking further and further into sin getting further from god
00:13:43he will cause them to suffer
00:13:45so that they will come back to him
00:13:47and
00:13:48it's
00:13:49really bad right now and a lot of people suffer and it's terrible for a lot of individuals
00:13:53but the nation as a whole is saved
00:13:56by pruning individual branches
00:13:59and we actually talked about that a couple of chapters ago in
00:14:02here in romans
00:14:04any other thoughts on this on this quote from paul in this verse
00:14:08it's not what comes naturally
00:14:10what paul's asking us to do
00:14:12it's um
00:14:13oh yeah to never avenge yourself
00:14:14it's a challenge
00:14:16oh yeah it is
00:14:18yeah sometimes when
00:14:19when people wrong you
00:14:21and
00:14:22for the sake of
00:14:23of peace or
00:14:26because you know
00:14:27lashing back out at them
00:14:29isn't going to solve the problem
00:14:31it will probably only make it worse
00:14:32you have to bite your tongue
00:14:34or you have to make nice
00:14:36and it goes against everything inside of you to do it
00:14:38but
00:14:39you have to
00:14:40and it shows a lot of maturity to be able to
00:14:44swallow that anger
00:14:45and
00:14:45not let it out into the world
00:14:48when
00:14:48in your flesh
00:14:50you know
00:14:51throughout the
00:14:51the scriptures
00:14:52it talks about being in the flesh
00:14:54versus being in the spirit
00:14:56and
00:14:57i think this has a lot to do with
00:14:59you know
00:15:00where are we
00:15:01are we
00:15:01being in the flesh
00:15:02or the spirit
00:15:03in this moment
00:15:04and
00:15:06when we're
00:15:07if we're battling
00:15:09the flesh
00:15:10wants to avenge
00:15:11it wants to
00:15:13not trust in god
00:15:15so there's a distrust
00:15:17in god
00:15:17and
00:15:18how
00:15:18his heavenly
00:15:20courts
00:15:20work
00:15:21how his justice
00:15:23system works
00:15:24because we want
00:15:25the death penalty
00:15:27on anyone that goes against
00:15:29me
00:15:30it's very difficult
00:15:32and
00:15:34i know some guy told me
00:15:36one time
00:15:37he said
00:15:37focus
00:15:39on
00:15:40god's courtroom
00:15:42basically
00:15:43it's much easier
00:15:45when
00:15:46we focus
00:15:47our attention
00:15:48to
00:15:49god's
00:15:50attributes
00:15:52and i think
00:15:52that doesn't get
00:15:53preached a lot
00:15:54today
00:15:55so
00:15:56it
00:15:57it's more of
00:15:58our thoughts
00:15:58aligning
00:15:59with christ
00:16:00and
00:16:01it's a battle
00:16:02for the mind
00:16:03too
00:16:03so
00:16:03that's where
00:16:04the battle is
00:16:05yeah
00:16:06just like
00:16:07yeshua
00:16:07when he was
00:16:08accused
00:16:09and
00:16:10beaten
00:16:11and crucified
00:16:13his response
00:16:14was
00:16:14father forgive them
00:16:15for they know
00:16:16not what they do
00:16:16and he
00:16:17he didn't
00:16:19he didn't
00:16:20attack them
00:16:20he didn't
00:16:22he didn't try to
00:16:23destroy them
00:16:24before they could
00:16:25just destroy him
00:16:26even though he could
00:16:27have and he had
00:16:27that right
00:16:28that what didn't
00:16:29serve his purpose
00:16:31but we also have
00:16:33examples of
00:16:34yeshua
00:16:34coming and
00:16:35destroying
00:16:35his enemies
00:16:36there are
00:16:38numerous prophecies
00:16:39about the great
00:16:40terrible day of the
00:16:41lord
00:16:41and
00:16:43you know
00:16:44at the beginning
00:16:44of revelation
00:16:45john says
00:16:46he was in
00:16:47the spirit
00:16:48on the day
00:16:49of the lord
00:16:50most translations
00:16:51say the lord's
00:16:52day
00:16:52but
00:16:53it means
00:16:54exactly the
00:16:55same thing
00:16:55and
00:16:55it's not
00:16:56talking about
00:16:57sunday
00:16:58and
00:16:58all through
00:16:59revelation
00:17:00we see
00:17:00potentially
00:17:01billions of
00:17:02people
00:17:02destroyed
00:17:03by
00:17:03direct
00:17:04acts

00:17:09war
00:17:10and a
00:17:10time for
00:17:10peace

00:17:11what
00:17:12is
00:17:12the
00:17:13thing

01:09:06that are
01:09:07used for
01:09:07legitimate
01:09:08purposes
01:09:08many of
01:09:09them are

01:09:19legitimate
01:09:20you don't
01:09:21get to

01:09:23one pot
01:09:24despite
01:09:24you know
01:09:25all the
01:09:25accounting
01:09:25tricks
01:09:26that make

01:09:26like it's
01:09:27going into
01:09:27a bunch
01:09:28of different
01:09:28accounts
01:09:29and they

01:09:30listen to
01:09:30you anyways
01:09:33so you
01:09:33pay your
01:09:34taxes
01:09:34because they
01:09:35are doing
01:09:35at least
01:09:36part of
01:09:36what God
01:09:37said they're
01:09:37supposed to
01:09:37do
01:09:38and in
01:09:38the United
01:09:39States
01:09:40better than
01:09:40most countries
01:09:41they do a
01:09:41pretty good
01:09:42job
01:09:43if you
01:09:44exclude
01:09:45big
01:09:45democrat
01:09:46run
01:09:46cities
01:09:47this is
01:09:47probably the
01:09:48most peaceful
01:09:48country on
01:09:49earth
01:09:50you know
01:09:50if you cut
01:09:50out Chicago
01:09:51and DC
01:09:52and New
01:09:52York
01:09:52and Boston
01:09:53and
01:09:53New
01:09:54Orleans
01:09:54if you
01:09:55exclude
01:09:56those from
01:09:57the crime
01:09:57rates
01:09:58this country
01:09:59does keeps
01:10:00better records
01:10:01than almost
01:10:01any other
01:10:01country on
01:10:02earth
01:10:02and would
01:10:04have
01:10:04the lowest
01:10:05crime rates
01:10:06of just
01:10:06about every
01:10:07country
01:10:08there are
01:10:09some exceptions
01:10:09I'm sure
01:10:10the same
01:10:10thing is
01:10:11true in
01:10:11Canada
01:10:11in
01:10:13probably
01:10:14most European
01:10:15cities
01:10:15if you
01:10:16exclude
01:10:17the big
01:10:17cities
01:10:17that have
01:10:19super
01:10:19corrupt
01:10:20governments
01:10:22the local
01:10:23governments
01:10:23are doing
01:10:23a pretty
01:10:24good job
01:10:24of keeping
01:10:25the peace
01:10:26partly
01:10:26that's
01:10:27cultural
01:10:28that you
01:10:28know
01:10:28people are
01:10:29just more
01:10:29peaceful

01:11:14in scripture
01:11:14that would
01:11:15command that
01:11:16but it is
01:11:17reasonable

01:11:29that the
01:11:30city
01:11:30government
01:11:30built
01:11:31it's
01:11:32reasonable
01:11:32that you
01:11:33should be
01:11:33paying
01:11:33something
01:11:34for the
01:11:34upkeep

01:12:04literally talking

01:12:08is used
01:12:08for God
01:12:09and it

01:15:20and I
01:15:21just
01:15:21I ask
01:15:23my favorite
01:15:24question is
01:15:25whose head's
01:15:26on that
01:15:28Babylonian
01:15:29magic square
01:15:29you got in
01:15:30your hand
01:15:30there
01:15:30you know
01:15:31it's
01:15:32literally
01:15:33it's not
01:15:34even the
01:15:34government
01:15:34it's the
01:15:35Federal
01:15:35Reserves
01:15:36no but
01:15:36it's loan
01:15:37to the
01:15:37government
01:15:38at great
01:15:39expense
01:15:39and so
01:15:41it's not
01:15:41our money
01:15:43and
01:15:44and on
01:15:45top of
01:15:45that
01:15:45Yahweh
01:15:47basically
01:15:47you know
01:15:48says
01:15:48don't worry
01:15:49about all
01:15:49the things
01:15:50you know
01:15:50what you're
01:15:50going to
01:15:50wear
01:15:51what you're
01:15:51going to
01:15:51eat
01:15:51where you're
01:15:52going to
01:15:52live
01:15:52all this
01:15:52other stuff
01:15:53because
01:15:53the Gentiles
01:15:54seek after
01:15:55these things
01:15:55I know
01:15:56you need

01:15:59and the
01:15:59more you
01:16:00whine and
01:16:00cry about
01:16:01it it's
01:16:01almost like
01:16:02it's
01:16:04it closes
01:16:05the doors
01:16:05of opportunity
01:16:06for him
01:16:06to show
01:16:07you his
01:16:08power in
01:16:08your life
01:16:09to make
01:16:09provisions
01:16:10and provide
01:16:10because he
01:16:10doesn't want
01:16:11his soldiers
01:16:12and his
01:16:13ambassadors
01:16:13emissaries
01:16:14groveling in
01:16:15the streets
01:16:16in poverty
01:16:17because that
01:16:18doesn't really
01:16:19make anybody
