Where did you hear this slander, that we don't believe in obedience to
civil authorities? We consider any law of man as God's law, EXCEPT
where it conflicts with God's law. (Acts 5:29) Thus, we consider it a
serious crime against God to withhold rightfully owed taxes, or to
speak to a government official with disrespect, no matter how they are
treating us. (Rom. ch 13)

So should we consent to fight against your country? Should you fight
against other Trinitarians? In what way does that show love, joy,
peace, and the other fruits of holy spirit?

Is the Christ divided???

I have no answer for you, but I would like to expand your question if I
may.
What criteria makes a translation/version of the bible accurate or
inaccurate? In other words if the wording of a verse changes but the
message doesn't, what does that say about a literal interpretation of
the bible?
