"Christ never advocated breaking laws, nor should anyone who calls himself a Christian."

Wait a sec. Never?

So, ten of the twelve original Apostles were killed by the Romans because---- they obeyed all the Roman laws?

St. Thomas More was beheaded by Henry VIII because he did everything that Henry VIII, his lawful sovereign, told him to do?

St. Charles Lwanga and companions were burned to death by the king of Uganda because of their perfect obedience to the King's decrees?

St. Maximilian Kolbe was put in a concentration camp by the Nazis, because he followed all of the Nazi regulations?

Hmm...

Good points. Still Christ never advocated law-breaking and submitted to both the sanhedrin and Pilate. He could've resisted but didn't.
With regard to the law, if any authority proposes a law that explicitly commands you to break one of God's laws, then we as Christians must disobey and take the consequences. However, there are other laws that are not compulsive such as Roe v. Wade which ought to be addressed by legislative and political means, no? We don't advocate bombing clinics, do we?
