On Civil Disobedience

Civil Disobedience

Authority

“I would suggest that we can’t disobey a law or mandate just because we disagree with it, or it won’t work, or it’s stupid, or it’s an abuse of authority, or it’s applied selectively, or even because it’s unconstitutional.” - Dan Olinger

NewIf a person personally

Tue, 08/11/20

If a person personally believes a law is unconstitutional but the Supreme Court of that country has not ruled on the issue, then we must obey that law unless that law contradicts clear Biblical principle. But if the Supreme Court of that country rules that a law is unconstitutional, then we do not have to obey that law.
