"If the Government were to "criminalize" a particular act of "helping" - they are within their Rights as ordained by God to do so..."
I believe that only kings were ordained by God. Our government reps are elected by us...whether or not they pretend to represent us is another can of worms.
I can see your reasoning, yet Paul didn't use the word for "Kings" (basileus) rather we get the expression "higher powers" or 'exousiais huperechousais' in Romans 13, and in Titus 3:1 the words are "to principalities" (archais), "to obey magistrates" (peitharchein) and powers ('exousiais').
But lets entertain your idea for just this moment. If the command was to obey Kings yet for 'elected' officials any sort of respect or obedience was optional, could we argue that the Founding Fathers were in disobedience when they fought for separation yet the antebellum South was not?
At what level of government or bureaucracy do we tell the office-holder to get lost? Are you willing to test that theory at a routine traffic stop?
