seems to me there's a difference between acquiesce (as in the case of the political party card,) and support (as in the NGO application.) My dictionary defines acquiescense to: submit or comply silently without protest, (or in legal terms): failure to take legal proceedings, thereby implying the abandonment of a right. (Random House Webster's College dic.)I don't get "unquestioning support" out of "acquiescence":
Were they to identify themselves as giving unquestioning support to any politcal arrangement, they would be acting contrary to the Bible's teaching that all human governmental systems exist by God's toleration only until such time as he chooses to replace them by his kingdom in the hands of Jesus Christ.
