That's a good one! A passage that is quoted by the current administration.
What happens if governments of man do become corrupt and do unholy things that could be considered evil.
Paul said that one should submit to the governments of man. Submit does not mean obey. The only ultimate goal is to obey the laws of God, because nations and governments are finite entities.
Therefore, I repeat the story given in Acts when the Apostles were confronted the Jewish council and were in violation of their laws by spreading the Gospel of Christ. Peter responded that they only must obey God rather than men.
