That’s an interesting point. In those examples, was the issue a lack of lawful state authority, or was it a deviation from God’s law?

Both. The culture had drifted from God’s law, and when laws just followed that corrupted culture, even strong states enforced injustice. Münster had weak authority too, but the others had functioning governments that simply reflected ungodly cultural values.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
