I did that before this whole "gay marriage" thing came along. I don't just blindly follow laws. If they go against my God's Word, I won't follow them, even if the forces of the state put me in jail or murder me, because I (and millions more of us) answer to a higher power than government. If the laws involve a power government has not been given, I will not follow it.
The fact that Americans--millions of Americans-- believe there is no higher power than government, no higher duty than to obey the laws of government, is horrific to me. My country is gone, and I mourn the loss.
In the Bible God says to follow the laws of our government. He also says capital punishment is justified (paraphrasing). I don’t think our government is the highest law of the land but we are a nation of laws founded on the laws set forth by god.
That is what some forget.
