I doubt his issue is reading comprehension, but rather how you have phrased your position. I don't think you would get any argument about not bowing to idols if the state said to do so, but your wording implies the apostles taught some watered down version of obeying civil authorities. I, too, can think of no place this occurred and would love to see an example because I have no doubt I could be missing something.
Sometimes we take for granted that we are 'obviously not talking about that' -- whatever that may be -- but to those skimming and reviewing your post, I can see how one could misunderstand what you have said. "And when possible" could mean many different things to many different people.
