1- I wasn’t taking away “is as” when it’s italicized it’s know as a interpolation inserted from then translator for better clearification. You take the words they put in and it states “Rebellion the sin of Witchcraft”.

You are correct. The “as is” is in italics, which is added for clarification, which is fortunate, because clarification (or, as you would put it, clearification) is exactly what we are in need of. Saul’s rebellion was that he rejected the word of God. He didn’t rebel against man, he rebelled against God. Just trying to clearify for you.

I beg to differ with you on this point. The Jews were absolutely part of the government. The Sanhedrin was part of the government. The high priest was part of the government of the Jews. Absolutely.

Brother!!!! I HAVE explained it to you (about five times). The trouble is not that I haven’t explained it to you. The problem is that I cannot understand it for you. Read
Acts 5
[29] Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Read, no study, this. It means that they had to make a choice. They could obey man, but to do so would be to rebel against God. On the other hand they could obey God, which would mean that they would be in rebellion to man. And yes, men that were in the Jewish government.

Absolutely. Positively.
In some cases it is necessary. (Read number three.)
