Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
The christian can be called not to resist authority despite the illegitimacy of a ruler, in fact this was obviously the case when the gospels and acts occurred and when Romans was written
And if you're a moral universalist, which biblical christians must be, and if you take the teachings of Jesus seriously including the sermon on the mount, you realize that every state in history wields illegitimate authority since the initiation of force is unacceptable.
>The English monarchy hasn’t been legitimate since 1066.
Or at least since 1487, when rightful mnarch Richard III was overthrown and killed by Henry Tudor.
>Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
That only applies to LEGITIMATELY installed rulers. Heads of state/government installed by coup, rebellion, invasion or trickery may be opposed without fear of sin or offense in God's eyes.

the blood of Alfred the great rejoined to the Royal family twice
first by Empress Matilda
second by his direct descendant James
but glorious revolution ruined it
>Anglo-Saxons couldn't even keep the vikings off their turf,
That has nothing to do with whether the Anglo-Saxons were civilised or not.
>the Normans elevated them culturally, socially, and militarily
I can agree with the cultural and military part, but how were they 'elevated' socially?

The irony being that France was notoriously savage with its court proceedings for the medieval period around then.

>literally contradicts what his bible plainly says
Christian doublethink.
Where?
>bible: all governments are legitimate
>dirk: no governments are legitimate
: all governments are legitimate
Ahab and Jezebel would have wished that was so (it's not)
You've discovered the Bible shamelessly contradicts itself all the time.
Whence are you quoting?

Harold was illegitimate though. He was quite literally the biggest enemy of Edward and his house. Edgar Ætheling was supposed to be King.
If he lived long enough he probably could’ve gotten Edgar’s sisters to marry some of his sons.
It hasn't been legitimate since the roman invasion.

Parliament says who's legitimate. And Charlie Tigerblood 3 is legitimate.

Are Saxons still seething that Norman chads civilized them from their existence of being mud shoveling peasants?
Ngl its hypocrisy. The Saxons conquered the Angles 100 years before so they can't really complain
Anglo-Saxons were already civilised.
Anglo-Saxons couldn't even keep the vikings off their turf, the Normans elevated them culturally, socially, and militarily
