Authority

         In order to understand authority through the eyes of God, one must first grasp the meaning of authority.  To do this we need to look at a couple of definitions from the "Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary".

Author:   The maker of anything; creator; originator.

Authority:  Legal and rightful power; a right to command or to act; jurisdiction.

        Considering these definitions, could it not be stated that authority is the right to command because of authorship?  Authorship is the basis to authority.  Author is its root and I do not believe that it can be removed from its meaning.  Therefore, a creator gains the rightful power over its creation.  As a car manufacturer has the right to all profits, patents and symbols involving his creation; even so, all creators have authority, or jurisdiction over their creation.  Thus, “authority”  in definition, must derive its power from authorship.  The author is the supreme authority.
