If you have access to a Bible, and I truly hope you do, read what Romans, chapter one has to say. In case you don’t know, Romans is in the New Testament, and therefore not some “old covenant .”
Romans. That is an interesting book or opinion piece. Read the first part of chapter 13, verses 1-7. He would have you submitting to the Catholic church, Stalin, Genghis Khan, Mao, Hitler, Obama, and Biden as your duty to God. It is speculated that the writer's "thorn" was homosexuality. In any case a weird dude to be quoting or resorting to as an authority.
I believe those particular verses you are referring to are not telling us to submit to any man, only to God. It does tell us that we are to follow the “customs” of the land, which I take to be the laws of the land, such as paying taxes as an example. The homosexuality that you refer to is nothing but an attempt to discredit the author and to try and legitimize homosexuality.
