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. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

Does this apply to our own government though? See in a christian nation i could understand, but in our current nation it doesn't really work when we are ruled by a hostile enemy

An authority is someone who believes in and follows God. Any other person has no authority over anyone yet false authority instead. How do you know the difference? If you are a repentant Christian yourself, you can ignore false authorities and get away with it (I do that all the time). Unrepented Christians cannot get away with it though since they need to clean their shit first instead of whining and complaining. With true authorities, nobody can get away with anything. Every time you disobey or ignore them, God makes you pay.

So, yes you were right. In a Christianity ruled country, authorities are installed by God and oughta be respected no matter how unlikable they might be to some people.

In Trump’s America, Trump was generally following God with his actions (though he had a few weird hick ups), so I’d say he was a true authority.

Biden legalized homosexual marriage. ‘Nuff said as in he’s clearly no true authority since arrival, yet Satanic oppression of the people that oughta be snuffed out like any other threat by Satan. Courts don’t apply to that. They only apply when the courts themselves are ruled by strictly Christians and for small unobvious matters.

Godspeed.
