Should Christians submit to the authorities?

Jo-Blogs's avatarRed Sky in the morning

“Protect, mask, test, vaccinate” has been the message blared at us for nearly two years now. Should we be obeying that diktat? This is a post I made on my other blog but I’d like to hear what people outside the churches think about compliance. Some Christians are going along with the mandates while others are actively resisting. It’s a deeply troubling and divisive issue.

Some influential Christian leaders encourage their congregations to go along with the vaccine mandates, citing Romans 13, a passage from the Bible that tells us to obey the governing authorities.
