Respectfully, Mr. Walling, you're begging the question by calling it a rebellion. That's what needs to be proven, and it hasn't. As for a Scripture reference that refutes Romans 13, why would I want such an impossible thing? I believe that the colonists were certainly obeying Romans 13 by obeying the lawful commands of their magistrates.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry
