if at times jesus, and his disciples, didn't submit to what we'd think of as governing authorities (religion, government, etc) what could paul mean by that? why no clearification on the exceptions? why's it not "Let every person submit to the governing authorities, unless they contradict the law of God"? if God is the supreme authority, and only he fit to judge, how could earthly, human creations, be seen as the governing authority? especially for a man, apparently, so close to God? would they not beyond those things? wouldnt their governing authorities apply to all of existence?
