You are correct, in free society we must submit to the order of the courts no matter how absurd their rulings. The Gawds in their black robes know all and must be obeyed without question.

Hey, who freed all my African slaves?

Sorry pal, if people are truly free we can 't submit to any tyranny.

Sorry pal, we don't live in an anarchy. You don't get to pick and choose what laws you'll obey. You'll obey them all, or pay the consequences.

In this case, the law was the court order - failing to obey that was contempt of court. She had due process, the opportunity to contest that provision of the order, and either she didn't or she failed. At that point, she had to suck it up and live under the law and she failed to do so.

Obviously you aren't a christian, the court order telling her not to smoke in front of children is not tyranny. She could have smoked anywhere else....the problem is not courts in this case.

IF THE COURT ORDER HAD VIOLATED SCRIPTURE she had right not to obey, as Court does not supercede God. For example if it said she could not pray, or read the Bible or anything we are told to do in Scripture...but even Jesus says you render to government what is theirs and that all authority placed over men is of God....just because we disagree with it doesn't give us right to just ignore it.
It is not Tyranny to tell people to do the right thing.

WE are allowed to disobey laws that are in direct opposition to GOD and his LAW....but that is all. WE must on other issues that are not addressed obey our earthly authority.

In a free society, the proper thing to do is appeal a ruling, not defy it.
