The text in the bible says that the government is always right and you need to obey they government no matter what because no governing power exists except what is sanctioned by God.Yet atheist governments that are hostile to Christianity can and do exist. Christians cannot account for this contradiction.
This is Paul's fanfiction. He never even met Jesus Christ, let alone could speak in His name.
Paul isn't Jesus. His words are divinely inspired, but they aren't the words of the divine Himself. Take them as words of wisdom, but remember that any time you have to choose between doing what Paul tells you to do and what Christ tells you to do, Christ always take precedence.Generally speaking, obey the government if doing so doesn't cause you to disobey God. The government can suck, a lot, but just as Christ's kingdom isn't on this Earth, neither should you treat this Earth as your kingdom. It's just a place where you are for the time,
>>546025976that's only RELATIVE speaking.>“We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—ACTS 5:29.>(Matthew 23:10) Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for YOUR Leader is one, the Christ.>(John 18:36) Jesus answered: “My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.”>Luke 4:5-7 - 5 So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time; 6 and the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it. 7 You, therefore, if you do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.”>1 John 5:19 - 19 We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.>(John 17:16) They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.We are to subject ourselves to human governments relatively only. That means show the proper respect to all government officials, to the police, to the courts, to the IRS. Obey government traffic laws and pay all fines. However, if Caesar demands what belongs to God that's where we disobey.

>>546026570You counter a Bible verse with another Bible verse? Is it because it contradicts itself?

>>546026682The Bible is not one book. It is an anthology of books, and you are meant to understand the context of each individual book to understand the greater divine message.
