We are not to resist authorities who do God's will. When the authorities do that which is evil, we are under no obligation to render them our obedience. It is not unconditional. Paul has in mind authorities who execute judgment upon God's enemies. He did not mean we should be subject to authorities who violate the Law Of God and who persecute His Children.

Really? Where do you read that in there?

And, I wonder what godly crime did Jesus commit that he was crucified for? Or were the disciples wrong for letting him be led away? Seems I recall one of them tried to stop the guards from taking Him, and he was rebuked.
