The Church is supposed to spread the Gospel and "love our neighbor as ourself" - and if that conflicts with one of man's laws, which do you think we are supposed to obey?
We obey God's law, and then willingly face the penalty for disobeying man's law. It's been that way since the Church was founded.
If the church or church members disobey civil law, they should face the same penalty as anyone else. The idea that churches and church members "get a free ride" against the law is bullsh*t.
God's law of course and He says in His Word that we are to obey the laws of the land and those in Authority over us. Haven't you ever read that in your Bible?
Perhaps, Yes, it does say to love our neighbor as ourself, but not in breaking the Laws of the land to do it....that is clearly against God's Law in His Word!!
