Then you refuse to accept the word of God as truth.

All scripture is inspired (Breathed Out) of God and its all that is required for the righteous man of God to be complete (perfectly whole in the Koine Greek) -- 2 Tim. 3:16-17 The only way to truly know what God wants and desires is to believe that which He has delivered to us for understanding, The Word of God. The Word of God is clear, unambiguous, "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God......" Romans 13:1
Jesus explains it in simple terms when confronted with Pilates authority, Pilate declared to Jesus that His life was in the hands of Pilate himself.......who held the power/authority to condemn or pardon. Jesus answered Pilate, "You would have no authority over Me at all unless it had been given you from above (heaven..the abode of God).........." John 19:11
