Romans 13:1-2 (ESV):
>Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Note the “do not resist the authorities”.
If you read the book of acts, you will find many instances of the disciples preaching the gospel (even after being commanded not to by the governing authorities) and being jailed for it.
Thus, my question.
Do the acts of the disciples contradict Romans 13:1-2?
