Contradiction with Romans 13:1
This verse talks about being subject to governing authorities, as opposed to rebelling against them like in Psalms 2:2.
Romans 13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [ordained: or, ordered]
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in that verse could arise from the idea of rulers and leaders standing against a higher authority or moral order, which might suggest a tension between human authority and divine guidance. This can raise questions about the legitimacy and morality of earthly power when it conflicts with spiritual or moral principles.
