Paul said a lot of things.
He was never married.
Didn't have any kids.
And pretty much told women to shut the fuck up.
He was a missionary who wrote letters to churches.
A self appointed apostle who never knew Jesus personally, except when Jesus appeared and spoke to him after His death and resurrection.
Before Jesus was crucified, he admonished and corrected his apostles on a regular basis. The apostles wanted to dis women & children and Jesus told them to knock it off.
Everything that Paul wrote needs to be taken into context of the church that he was writing to. Each church had their own set of problems.
As far as the rulers & taxes go, he may have been pointing out to them to chose their battles wisely. Our battles are not earthly, they are spiritual. God is in control. That doesn't by any means mean that our rulers are not criminals because obviously over the course of history, many of them were. Would Paul have approved of Hitler?
