Do what? We are supposed to resist evil, not give our blessing to it. Caesar has his place, but once he tries to impose on our conscience, he has overstepped his limits. And making us pay for or do things that violate our conscience is overstepping those limits.

Jesus never told us to take up arms and attack, and this statement is not telling us to do so, either. While we can defend ourselves with arms, as I think we will end up having to do, civil disobedience probably means many of us will be martyred - which to a Christian, means dying, not killing others.

But God always wins in the end and in terrible times we have to do what we can and remember that. I guess I just never thought I’d be living in these times, though; probably few of us did.

Christ said to render unto Ceaser what was Ceaser’s and unto God what was God’s.

If you think Christ advocated worshipful total kowtowing submission to a satanic global government/state, you are sadly mistaken.

Peter asked the RELIGIOUS rulers . . .

should Christians obey God or man.

Satanic government will be increasingly offering great and stark choice between eternal death and eternal life.

Civil disobedience by Christian clergy is part of our American heritage as well. Example, the famous letter from a Birmingham jail by the Rev. Martin L.King.
