We see the word "[[submit]]" at least 7 times in the New Testament. The Greek word “hupotasso”<Ref>{{5293}}</Ref> translated "[[submit]]" actually appears 40 times but is seldom translated "submit".
 
The Greek word “hupotasso” means “to arrange” yourself according to your own conscience, to voluntary cooperate. We see “hupotasso” used in  [[1 Peter 2:13]] and [[Titus 3:1]]. It does not mean that we give others the right to ''"rule over"'' us as an [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] as some suggest in [[Hebrews 13]].
 
: "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." [[Hebrews 13]]:17
 
The word "obey"  in this verse is commonly translated ''persuade'' and ''trust''<Ref>{{3982}} </Ref> which is translated ''trust'' in the very next verse... and again ''rule over'' means those that ''account'' for you in the kingdom not ''rule over'' as in [[exercise authority]].
 
The word submit in this same verse is ὑπείκω ''hupeiko'' <Ref>{{5226}}</Ref> a verb appearing only once. It means to resist no longer or yield and is from the Greek preposition ''hupo''.




''Pope'' Gregory had decreed that these Christians should submit to [[Augustine of Canterbury]]and that their bishops should obey him.<Ref> Stenton Anglo-Saxon England pp. 110–111</Ref> They not only viewed Augustine with suspicion but saw this in direct conflict with Christ's commands and policies.<Ref>Luke 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the [[Gentiles]] exercise lordship over them; and they that [[exercise authority]] upon them are called [[benefactors]]. But ye shall not be so ...</Ref>

Libellus responsionum<Ref>The Libellus responsionum (Latin for "little book of answers") is a papal letter (also known as a papal rescript or decretal) written in 601 by Pope Gregory I to [[Augustine of Canterbury]] in response to several of Augustine's questions regarding the nascent church in Anglo-Saxon England.</Ref> shows that there was more conflict between Augustine and the native Christians than there was concern about [[paganism]]. They were not just a different style of Christianity. There were critical fundamental differences.

Many of these ideas and teachings come down from the Church established by [[Constantine]].
