Certainly, we are to obey "authorities", but those authorities must be obeying God.
They are "higher authorities". God is the Highest Authority.
"But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." - 1 Timothy 5:8
We are to provide for our families, but not protect them from violent attack from "authorities"? Nonsense. Scripture never says, "Allow your wife to be beaten and raped."
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." - Acts 5:29
God is sovereign. Case closed.
Regarding Romans 13, we have a government established by God that gives people the right to speak and oppose and even physically fight tyranny if it comes to that.
This is the dynamic that is often overlooked.
Our rights come from God and we are blessed in this but, now as our nation turns away and we are seeing the results.
Keep the powder dry. This is deep spiritual war and it is deadly serious.
