I think there is a difference between ordaining and allowing.

I see you did not answer the question. Paul says that the powers that be are ordained of God. Do you disagree with Paul?

Do you think God preordained what you had for breakfast this morning, or did you think you had a choice?

Both.

I think that passage has an underlying implication that the pwers he refers to are legitimate and are ruling in an honorable way.

If I am wrong on that, you’d have to conclude that government officials who commit crimes should not be prosecuted. Doesn’t God hate evil?
