The magistrates were to submit to the authority placed over them. I am pretty well convinced the authorities placed over Paul and Peter were tyrannical but they still penned Romans 13, and in no place did they ever advocate rebelling against the authorities even if the lower authorities rebel against the greater. Therefore from a purely scriptural view what does scripture clearly say on the matter it cannot be justified, but from a point of man's reasoning it can. I yearn and wish to agree with Joshua, but as Martin Luther said unless I can be convinced by scripture I am going to have to disagree.
