To: Hebrews 11:6
Then most drivers in DFW are on the virge of becomming hardcore criminals because you can not drive on the major roads in DFW with out breaking the law.

If you go above the speedlimit you are breaking that law.
If you go the speedlimit you are impeading trafic and breaking that law.

What do you suggest, no one drive?

Since you say that breaking the laws is wrong, what about those how live in countries that ban the Bible but have a Bible anyway, are they in danger of becomming hard core criminals?

DFW, I take it, is Dallas-Fort Worth? I drive 120 miles daily in L.A., so I know something about staying alive on the freeway--and I do drive the speed limit. Try it, you'll like it! By the way, I don't believe for a moment that driving the speed limit breaks a law against impeding traffic.

With respect to your challenge about living in a country where owning a Bible is illegal--you've oversimplified it. Christians are commanded by that Bible (Romans 13) to obey the civil laws, because the civil authorities derive their authority from God. But that same Bible also makes clear that where the civil law contradicts God's law, we are to obey God's law instead. Doing so may subject us to paying the penalty in that society for breaking its laws, as millions of Christians have knowingly chosen to do.
