    Can we get a citation? I’ve actually read the bible, and no it doesn’t.

      I think he’s referring to Romans 13:1.

        Romans 13:1

        1Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God. 2Therefore, whoever resists authority opposes what God has appointed, and those who oppose it will bring judgment upon themselves.
