   You can tell this to conservatives, but they can't process it.

     >Moral define law. Law does not define morals.

     Right, you don't need laws to begin with. We don't need some baby-sitter organization known as "the government" to remind us that killing, stealing, and destroying property is wrong.

     @Zealist @sickburnbro The ten commandments is basically the NAP minus the God first parts.

     That only goes so far. If the laws violate God's law you are supposed to follow God's law instead. The NT was very clear that you are supposed to respect and follow your leaders so long as they are Godly men that follow God's laws.

     @Zealist @xianc78 @sickburnbro Based on the context, and my studies of the original Greek, I would say this segment is probably talking about some kind of religious authorities and/or others given direct authority from God, not the state (at least as you and I know it).
     Here's some interesting verses for study:
     Mat. 20:20-28
     1 Samuel 8
     Judges 9

     @KryptoBlok @xianc78 @sickburnbro look, you literally said your bias earlier "me christian anarchist" but paul wrote the book of romans during a period when rome was persecuting christians and it means what it says, you can try to claim it says something else in a language i don't understand, but i'm not gonna take your word for it, considering your bias tell you what @SuperLutheran i need your help.

     @Zealist @KryptoBlok @xianc78 @sickburnbro You need my help talking to an anarchist?
     Like, a guy who reads the Bible, and sees God setting up kings and empires, establishing hierarchy even in the family setting, but still thinks the state is naturally bad? A guy who has the luxury of forming a political philosophy because the state given him breathing room beyond mere survival?
     
     Lol I was an anarchist until I turned 17. The best argument against it is growing up.

     @Zealist @KryptoBlok @xianc78 @sickburnbro @SuperLutheran Romans 13 explains, quite clearly, that the Christian is to obey the earthly government they find themselves under, it isn't about religious authority it's about the state/ruler. Given the context of the whole chapter we don't need to do a word study to understand Paul is talking about the state/ruler rather than some religious authority.
     
     The command of Romans 13 applies even if the ruler is not Christian and even if they actively persecute Christians. The point is that God establishes all authority and rebelling against them, even if they are persecuting you, is rebelling against God.
     
     However, there is still a hierarchy of obedience as the Christian must follow God first, meaning that if the ruler commands you to do something which would violate God's commands prioritise obedience to God. Generally this will mean civil disobedience to the point of martyrdom, there is an argument to be made for when the use of force may be permitted, but it's important to note that Holy Scripture does not give us a checklist to determine when violent rebellion is justified.
     
     Romans 13 is a difficult chapter of a difficult epistle and should not be approached lightly. Especially when the people reading it are subject to anti-Christian rulers and don't want to be ruled by people who hate them. There's a lot of motivation for us to read exceptions into the text nowadays, but we must resist that temptation and let the Bible speak. Go through some of that good old tentatio, it builds character.
