We have been commanded to obey our leaders.

And that's why Jesus, the Disciples & Apostles shut the hell up and stopped preaching the gospel when commanded to do so and informed that to continue was a capital offense. That's why Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego bowed when ordered. And why Rahab the prostitute of Jericho, who committed treason against her people that resulted in them being slaughtered, is celebrated in Heb. 11 as a hero of the Christian Faith.

I don't think we are commanded to obey and submit to our 'leaders' in the absolute sense that you think. Submitting to 'leaders' or obeying laws emplaced and empowered by Satan is not obedience to God.

Don't try to impose your interpretation upon me please, cuz you are wrong.

After hearing Jesus say, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." NIV, do you ask yourself, "What belongs to God?" and then "What then belongs to Caesar?"

We are to obey the law as long as it does not conflict with God's commands.

Did God command you to break the law and have multiple wives?

If so, I suggest that isn't God you are listening to.
