Does Rom. 13 demand bowing to NWO? What about Knox

Romans 13 says we must be in obedience to authorities. No argument here. But what about conflicting authorities? What if the NWO demands we not homeschool our chirrens, but we have local magistrates (see John Knox) that allow us to homeschool our chirrens?

Big Government in america will soon fall. It is bloated beyond belief. It is predicated on state-worship and is basically incompetent. This will allow regions to seceede from the Empire (see the original intent of Thomas Jefferson). We will have something like the Old Confederacy.

However, let's say that The State still retains a nominal, but not functional claim to control. And then the United Nations steps in and claims jurisdiction. At this point, must the small Confederate states yield to the UN on the basis of Romans 13?

For your reading, see my refutations of state worship:
