When it comes to why we respect those in authority, this was given as a law that the Israelis would respect their leaders, that being the priests and teh High Priest......because Israel was a true theocracy for a time. The True Israel, you will know in the Word, is an eternal Theocracey, but keep in mind, the a Authority is the King.
When Paul was taken before the High Priest, he defended himself and even salke back to him, even though he, the high priest, and those who took him in were apparently people of authority. It was only when Paul was made to know he had spoken ill to the hsgh priest, that he apologized for speaking thus to an "authority."
Jesus is clear, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. He alsre referred to an earthyly authority, Herod, as that old fox.
The leaders of the world and the politics they dollow and elaborate upon the masses form the cesspool of what may be called progress of the world.
I say respect your leaders begining with The Father, The Son and the HOly Spirit. I know Who is my Authority...
