First let me start with a thanks for posting these articles, it’s been a challenging read even if I don’t fully agree. They are a great reminder that we sharpen each other towards living in accordance with Gods word.
In my question about lockdowns from your post on Roman’s 13:1-2 you said the principle is found in acts 5 that when faced with situations where we can’t obey both we obey God.
Here though you say in context of these verses doing evil it’s not obeying the authority God gave the government.
It seems that’s two contradictory stances, in fact these verses seem to be telling us groups of Christian’s shouldn’t have meet during the height of Covid lockdowns.
By meeting we were committing evil acts because we were disobeying the authorities.
Basically it seems to come down to if the authority is being good stewards of the divine authority granted them it’s our duty to submit.
When they don’t and start to command things that places Christian in an either or position we have the duty to follow God and not men.
