In part two of our Biblical Resistance Series, we confront one of the most commonly quoted—and commonly misunderstood—passages in all of Scripture: Romans 13. Are Christians commanded to obey government no matter what? Or have we accepted an interpretation that contradicts the rest of the Bible? In this episode, we look at the powerful example of Esther, who knowingly broke the law to do what was right before God, and we begin carefully examining what Romans 13 actually says—rather than what modern authorities claim it says. If government is ordained by God to punish evil and reward good, what happens when it does the opposite? Let’s open the Scriptures and reason together.
