And this is not my handwriting either. And I have yet to hear your response:
Acts 5:
27Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, he said. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this mans blood.
29Peter and the other apostles replied: We must obey God rather than men!
“We must obey God rather than men!”
Romans 13:1
For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.
Once again, not my handwriting. In Romans, Paul was referring to the government, not the religious leaders.
