(1/5) For my fellow Texans who are also believers: Romans 13 calls on us to follow the lawful government of men God has put in place, as long as the worldly laws they create do not go against God's law.
I would say you are the one with the “gross misinterpretation”. God did not create government, which then created man. God created man and then man created government. Man is below his creator and government should be below its creator, if the government is good.
