Romans 13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

Amen!

But trust them?

NEVER.

And to force the public's support of such laws, the government will need to do search and seizures of money and properties, and also impose prison sentences for punishment.

So then, there is no such thing as a un-godly government?

Sure there is.

God used (ungodly) Pharaoh; He can use "ungodly" anyone else. Still no one governs outside of His purpose or permission.

Recently in the past 75 years some governments have used their authority to exterminate the people of God. So for whatever the reason God works to kill those who would serve Him? I do not think so.

His people who were destroyed; where did they go?

Home?

Would that not serve God's greater purpose?

Maybe He was saving them from much worse.

Filling the prison system will mean that we will need to raise more taxes.
