For Christians, supporting all government employees is our default starting point, based (among other texts) on Paul's command in Romans 13:1 and following:
1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
We are meant to integrate all of Scripture, and there are numerous other passages which qualify that instruction. For example, Acts 4 lauds Peter and John for their refusal to obey the Sanhedrin's order to stop preaching the Gospel, because doing so expressly contradicted Jesus' order in His Great Commission to preach ceaselessly:
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
Thank you for your agreement.
Paul’s command to respect government authority is predicated on a default assumption that those authorities are restrained by adherence to **the Law,** as derived from natural law, which is *established* by God.
The agents of the government do not themselves come from God and God does not *establish* tyrannical governments nor does He command us to condone, aid or abet them in their tyranny.
