I don't know if this belongs here or under the Citizenship discussion, but seeing as it is about Citizenship and Religion I will post it here.



In my journey I have come across quite a few that believe/write that as Believers, our citizenship is in Heaven and we should not claim citzenship anywhere else. While it all sounds good and makes sense - how these Sovereigns get to their conclusions - one thing still lingers in the back of my mind.



If they are claiming this based on Scripture - what about Paul, who mentioned that he was a citizen of Rome? He was CLEARLY a citizen of the kingdom of heaven, but yet claimed citizenship of another country here on earth and put himself under that jurisdiction (or so it seems) for that moment in time.



What I have been trying to grasp at and have not been able to put together is: What does this mean for us? The example of Paul claiming he was a citizen of Rome and yet he is a citizen of Heaven at the same time. I have read some person's interpretation that we cannot serve two masters that it means we cannot have two gov'ts that we serve. So how does this all come into play?



I appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
