Romans 13 1-3
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement upon themselves.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
Would a fellow-Christian care to take a shot at explaining this one to me? i mean, the American Revolution, the Underground Railroad that helped slaves to freedom, every war protester---not to mention those who resisted hitler and stalin and mao---were they sinning?
