But as it is, my Kingdom is not from this source.”

Romans 13:1, 2
Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities,
for there is no authority except by God;
the existing authorities stand placed in
their relative positions by God.
2 Therefore, whoever opposes the authority
has taken a stand against the arrangement of God;
those who have taken a stand against it
will bring judgment against themselves.

The True Religion is Identified by:

not engaging in politics or rebelling against civil authorities.
Members respect the relative authority of the national leaders
