Now you're arguing semantics.
Of course the federales see no difference because since they actually think they, rather than Moses, are the law-givers.
What is it the Bible says about obeying the ruling authorities? Further, are you arguing that court orders shouldn't be legally binding? Do you honestly want to live in a nation where we can ignore any court order simply because we don't agree with it?
Thous shalt worship at the feet of SCOTUS. That one?
Further, are you arguing that court orders shouldn't be legally binding?
Nope.

Court orders are court orders and the refusal to abide by same come with penalties. Judge Moore has decide to accept those penalties because he sees the issue of the courts issuing anti Constitutional rulings as worth it. His stance is one of civil disobedience and he will pay the price for it while the frogs in the pot go merrily on their way to the boiling point.
Is there legal precedence for disobeying unlawful orders? Certainly. Does that come with consequences. Of course.
And I'm not arguing semantics, you are. You stated that court orders were in fact laws. That is a false statement. Correct
