WRT Romans 13 - people have different views about what submission to authorities means but it seems that the Christians at that time had a view of submitting to God over authorities because much of what they did was in defiance of authorities.

And in the USA the people who need to urgently submit to authorities are the elected leaders who need to submit to the constitution.

That's a fact!

This nation's very worst enemies are within.

Paul (Luke) composed Romans 13 from jail.
He was imprisoned for publicly practicing his faith.

The gist of Romans 13 comes down to, “don’t make a practice of getting arrested for civil infractions.”
