In response to every question you pose in your first paragraph except one, the answer is Yes. You don't have to take what Paul Ryan dishes out, you can lobby him to change it or lobby to vote him out. But you should be respectful (which does not require agreement) of his position because he would not be there had God not put him there. Same with Putin and the others (without the lobbying of course), whom God uses as He sees fit, but maybe not as we would prefer. What are you gonna do? He's God. Your thought experiment is imaginary and of no use, as it cannot happen. And I have no illusions of trying to control anyone, as that is above my pay grade. How about you? Still, I can reason with some about what God's word says. The rest is up to the free will God gave each of us and His Holy Spirit if one allows it. Or not, as the case may be. I'm hoping for the former, but not holding my breath.
