That’s at least a more reasoned argument than I’ve gotten from most on here. The ‘greater moral imperative’ idea was the foundation of the operation rescue (Now Operation Save America) but I’ve never been entirely comfortable with it. I don’t see any New Testament example of Jesus or the early disciples insinuating themselves into the pagan practices of the day (including child sacrifice) in order to save a life or bring about some greater moral good.
Your example of assisting run away slaves (or helping Jews during Nazi oppression) holds some water but I’m not aware of anyone going to a slave owners property and physically trying to free them. And by the way I would have no problem with this woman doing her ministry on a public sidewalk.
In the final analysis I suppose if she truly feels she is called of God to do this she should rejoice in being counted worthy to suffer persecution and prison for her Lord.
Your final analysis is spot on.
One comment regarding the slave - the slave WAS the property, and slaves represented a large part of the owner’s capital assets. So, while a bit tenuous, the slave property/real property do have some parallels, though not perfect (but what analogy is perfect?).
In no case in the NT --- as far as I can recall --- does a believer have any role in the government in the sense of voter, elected represenmtative, or ruler. However it is not forbidden for Christians to take part in government(although perhaps the Amish think otherwise).
That being said, "insinuating onself into the pagan practices of the day" is certainly proper for just governments if the pagan practices involve human sacrifice; and I would argue that it can be proper not only for just governments to interfere, but also for just individuals to do so.
I recall that in the NT (Acts 16:16-2) Paul cast a demon out of a slave girl, thus depriving her owners of the chance to make money from her prophesying, and as a result Paul and Silas were arrested, beaten, and imprisoned.
They evidently interfered with the practice of profiting off of vulnerable deluded girls. Maybe there's an analogy here somewhere with that abortion clinic waiting room.
