FREEDOM Definition: A state of exemption from the power or control of another. The absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. American Dictionary of the English Language 1828 Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary
Freedom is not absence of authority, and it’s not independent of authority. Freedom without authority is anarchy. Authority without freedom is tyranny. Authority and Freedom co-exist. When the government submits to God, and people submit to government, all is well.
