Hitler was a cruel and ungodly man
There was a Pastor by the name of Dietrich Bonhoeffer living in Germany during Hitlers reign.
He stood against the oppression of the Jews and vastly disagreed with Hitlers policies.
Hitler sensing the opposition from the Christian communities and knowing he would never be able to fulfill his visions of dictatorship devised an ingenious plan.
He held a Nazi conclave and had them vote in many leaders into church power all around Germany.
So these men go straight to the pulpit and typewriters to preach .
So as you can see during this political campaign Hitler is using scripture to corrupt rather sane minded people in order to get them to follow his leadership no matter how preposterous it may have seemed.
He started a church named the Confession Church.
So Bonhoeffer started a church named the Confession Church which eventually had to go underground and into hiding from the German government.
As the war begin to unfold, Bonhoeffer began to get involved in the intelligence community and when he discovered what Hitlers plans of genocide were he helped plot his assassination.
I’m sure he must have wrestled with when he decided whether or not he should rebel against his government.
The assassination would be unsuccessful and Bonhoeffer was eventually tried and hanged before the war ended.
Here recently we had one of our own congressmen quote in order to persuade people to obey the government.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions quoted while speaking of illegal immigrants being arrested and deported.
His comments had the secular world in a frenzy, there were people pulling out their bibles on various talk shows and even a late night comedian was found reading the bible to make fun and disprove Sessions remarks.
However if we look only at we can easily see why it is so often misinterpreted.
So here’s the thing about scripture like this, if it doesn’t seem right at face value we must look deeper then the surface.
Here’s my take on verses like these.
Anytime we run into an unclear passage of scripture we must interpret it in light of the more clear passages.
Romans 13:1-8

I want to look at 5 things today
History of wrestling with
What It Can’t Mean
That this verse advocates any form of government.
God establishes authority and that they are always right.
that we should never revolt against governmental authority.
history has proven that governments are often corrupt.
Nebuchadnezzar thru the prophets into the furnace
Herod was manipulated by a stripper
Mary and Joseph had to flee because of Herod’s decree
Moses’ mom hid him from the government agents.
The Magi disobeyed Herod after they visited Jesus
Peter said it is better to obey God rather than man.
Peter also escaped prison.
Paul ran and hid from the law at times.
What It Must Mean
We should obey the government when it aligns with the word of God.
IOW we should obey ALL Just laws.
What it Could Mean
Everyone would have known about corrupt government because the had lived through Herod and were currently living under Nero.
Herod
Nero
Murdered his own father to be the emperor.
Murdered his own mother to keep her from overthrowing his kingdom
