You recall the scriptures (as far as I can tell from your post) that reside in the very next chapter that say...

Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

You then ask if Paul was contradicting God...

Could you explain the contradiction you see?

I assume this contradiction is with someones interpretation etc... not trying to be problematic... I just currently do not see clearly what you are saying.

Thanks.
I was trying to contrast Bennys post on "vengance is mine sayth the Lord" to what Paul wrote in Romans 13 where God appoints rulers to bear the sword as a revenger to bring wrath on evil doers.
