You obviously aren't comprehending this passage in Romans 13. You are trying to to contort God's Word to fit your own desire. Many assume God is calling the 'Illuminati' the 'powers that be'. Or maybe even assume he is speaking of 'elected government officials' of states and countries etc. No one seems to give GOD'S ELECT the time of day. You know, his apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. What about those 'powers that be' ? Who ear they? Your punks? That's exactly who they take God's 'powers that be' for. They treat them no different than the two angels that cam to visit Lot in Sodom. [i]Jude 1 [8] Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. [9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. [10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. [11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.[/i] [/quote]

Romans 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
I want to please God, but I'm having trouble accepting the part in bold.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
