The most misunderstood and misused political quote from scripture. What is the "governing authorities" in our political system?

It is not judges and elected officals. All these swear an oath to up hold the ...CONSTITUTION?

THE CONSTITUTION IS THE GOVERNING AUTHORITY OF ROMANS 13.

If they rule unconstitutionally they need not be obeyed. They have over stepped their authority.

When they govern unconstitutionally, as in Judge Moores case, they are governing by brute force. Remember, power flows form the barrel of a gun.

But then what else can God haters act on but force?

If they rule unconstitutionally they need not be obeyed. They have over stepped their authority.

So their actions are unconstitutional because you say that they are? What if I say that their actions are constitutional? Does that overrule you?

If they rule unconstitutionally they need not be obeyed.

Remember that next time some anarchist or radical leftist uses the same justification for their breaking the law.

Remember, power flows form the barrel of a gun.

I guess we have to decide what is the ultimate authority. God or the gun. Really I think it is more dangerous to have gov't in religion than to have religion in gov't. European coutries have gov't sanctioned religions, but take a look at the Church of England. I'm not sure its a Christian church anymore. George Washington believed gov't should be austere and humble. Not haughty and hedonisitic. He recognized a transcendent higher authority than gov't. He was a deist, not an atheist. Some other people just have a problem with authority no matter what. Maybe the judge thinks: " If we don't recognize the authority of God then by what authority can I adjudicate the law as judge? By the business end of a gun? Then, what kind of country do we become? Think of every politcal, social, legal and economic disease you know. I don't think you can remove the philisophical and religous aspects of the law and still call it moral.
