Romans 13: Christians should generally obey government unless commanded to sin. Closing churches during a global health crisis isn't persecution — it's a quarantine affecting everyone. Government conspiracy theories about using COVID to target churches are unfounded (China was already persecuting churches without needing excuses). The line: obey until they demand disobedience to God.
Government authority and Romans 13
Romans 13:1-4: be subject to governing authorities, instituted by God. Closing churches during a pandemic isn't persecution — it's a universal public health measure everyone wants to end. China didn't need COVID to persecute churches. The principle: obey government up to the point of being commanded to sin. Not gathering on Sunday isn't sin.
