Numbers 5:11-31.
And within that same principle, if I believe abortion to be wrong, to be a sin, I should not be required to perform one regardless of the race, religion, ethnicity, et al of the person wanting it.
I said nothing about discriminating against anybody. So yes, ANYBODY who comes into my shop to buy whatever I have for sale should be able to buy that product. But I should not have to make a special product that would offend me for that same person.
Personally if a law came out which requires me to violate any of God's laws (and there will come a time when this happens) then I for one will happily disobey the government ! It's open to interpretation
and I guess that will all depend on whose laws your value most, God's laws or those of man !
If God's will diverges from that of the "local government," it is obvious that God's will is the one His children are to follow. Would you have followed the Nazi government in Germany, murdering Jews, gypsies, and the mental deficient in concentration camps? Or would you have obeyed God rather than men?
From the scriptures, it says to obey government first.
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities...not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
Pro Life Agencies do not fund or adopt unwanted children, not even to stop them from being murdered, becasue of the cost involved. When presses they say "Why should I pay for other peoples lack of responsibility." To save a life perhaps?
If you are trained to offer abortions, you may only discriminate for health reasons.
If you offer special products, you must make those products without discrimination for who gets them or their purpose, which is not in your control anyway. In particular Christians, and their stupid large gaudy offensive wasteful expensive weddings.
Torah and Shariah law allows for polygamy if there is an excess of women and if its financially feasible for the man. Christians are forbidden from practising polygamy regardless.And yet you claim "Polygamy is only lawful for Jews and Muslims."
Which laws are you applying, or not, to whom?
The NT rules of God appointed rulers were speaking of the Roman rulers. One does not have to obey any specific ruler but during those days monarchs were universally considered a divine appointment and by extensions their appointments. Paul would not use such language today. He may say to obey laws but today he would not say God has placed a politician in that position.The kings given to the Hebrews/Israelites/Jews at their request, as described in the Bible, were divinely appointed. There was no command to obey the Egyptian Pharoah or Nebuchadnezzer. If Moses' mother had obeyed the Egyptian decree, there would have been no Moses. If Joseph and Mary had submitted to Herod, Baby Jesus would have never become an adult.
There is no biblical oppostion to abortion and that is simply because a foetus was not considered human until birth.
That is completely false and nothing in the Bible teaches that.Only if they live in that jurisdiction. Officially, the Mormon church is opposed.
See Genesis 4:19
Genesis 16:1-4
Genesis 29:18-29
Christians are forbidden from practising polygamy regardless.
The Bible doesn't include Genesis?That is completely false and nothing in the Bible teaches that.

We vote today, it's all man made appointments, nothing of God about them.
SMH...From the scriptures, it says to obey government first.

I dislike the gaudy weddings too, but do not judge those who can afford them and want them.
And I should have every right to determine what special products I will offer. If I as a Christian want to offer hot cross buns for Easter, I will sell the buns to anybody--Christian, Jew, Hindu, Atheist or whatever who wants them, but that does not extrapolate to me having to decorate buns with a KKK for the local Klan meeting. If I decorate a cake with dogs and such for the reception after the dog show, that does not extrapolate to me having to decorate a cake with fighting dogs for Michael Vick.
Freedom of conscience should be freedom in ALL matters of conscience.
SMH...
Actually it isn't whatsoever.My case is stronger.
