Submission to the Authorities Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has
Authority
~ Any acceptance of authority is the very denial of truth. ~
Jiddu Krishnamurti quote
If someone has helped you and you make of him your authority, then are you not preventing all further help, not only from him, but from everything about you? Does not help lie about you everywhere? Why look in only one direction? And when you are so enclosed so bound, can any help reach you? But when you are open, there is unending help in all things, from the song of a bird to the call of a human being, from the blade of grass to the immensity of the heavens. The poison and corruption begin when you look to one person as your authority, your guide, your saviour.

Romans 13:1-7 (New International Version) Romans 13. Submission to the Authorities
1.Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2.Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4.For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrong doer.
5.Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
6.This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
7.Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
