“If we say that Christians are only required to obey their government when it is functioning by scriptural principles, we then nullify the teaching of Romans 13:1-7 and 1 Peter 2:13-17 in just about any age of history-especially the time during which those passages were written! ….So we believe that civil disobedience is justified only when government compels us to sin, or when there is no legal recourse for fighting injustice.” - GTY (Date unkown)
