Authority and Submission

Example:

If I am located in a country that prohibits you to exercise your Christian faith publicly, I will absolutely be submissive. However, this does not mean that I will no longer exercise my Christian faith in private or personally. As soon as I exercise my Christian faith, then I am not obeying the governing authority of that country. By this, my attitude was absolutely submissive to the governing authority and my conduct was relative "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God."

Is there any biblical example as cited above? Yes, of course!

Daniel was "disobedient" ?



Daniel was "submissive"

Paul as I read your post, your content is saying authority is absolute but submission is relative. Is that your intended message?

My intent was "submission is absolute; but obedience is relative."
