A person's first and highest level of obedience is directly to God Himself. Whenever human authority contradicts the clear will of God, a person's primary responsibility is to obey God. However, an angel of God told them to go to the temple and keep on speaking. They obeyed, were subsequently arrested, and then brought again before the Jewish leaders. God does not normally speak to men by angels today, but He has given us principles in the Bible to use in guiding our decisions and moral choices.
Biblical principles are to be the number one, primary authority for our lives.
We need to be very careful about disregarding the wishes and commands of those over us and should not use our faith as a flippant excuse to disregard human authority. Still, obedience to God does come first. There are three domains of human authority that a person should typically be under at various times in his life. These are the family, the church, and civil government. The domains have a specific membership.
