Check out that phrase, Dave.  "it shall NOT be so among you."  Jesus gave them authority over demons and He gave them the authority to preach the Good News.  He did not give them the authority to be dictators or popes or presidents.  They were guides, not rulers. Hope this helps you understand.

Hmmm, interesting!  The personage quoted scripture but that is not unusual, the devil comes as an angel of light and uses truth to deceive ppl and lead them into even worse error.  However, I do think it hypocritical for the ones following creeds and doctrines that are of men to upbraid you
