1 Peter 2:13-17
Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
Titus 3:1
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

New York State Assembly Passes Third Trimester Abortion Bill
The abortion agenda was started by eugenicist devils like Margret Sanger and Helena Blavatsky in order to promote a more promiscuous society...one that can be controlled and duped easily.
I didn't find any limitations. Jesus obeyed Government and was crucified by them.
I'd say that is your natural limit, being crucified by the law.
Amen!!!No he didn't.
He obeyed God, did God's will, healed on the Sabbath, called the Pharisees out on their hypocrisy and other stuff, and they did not like him, nor his popularity.
Because Israel was an occupied nation, they had no authority to put anyone to death, so they had to get the Romans to do it - which is why they accused him of treason and speaking against Caesar.
God's plan to send Jesus to die for the sin of the world was put into effect before Creation, 1 Peter 1:20, and prophesied in the Garden of Eden, Genesis 3:15.
Jesus did not go meekly to his death because the government told him to. He knew what he was doing from the moment he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, if not before. It was all part of God's plan; prophesied by him.
Obeying government takes precedent over the written code in scripture.
1 Timothy 2:1-3
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
Anderson has some skewed doctrines, but some of the doctrines he teaches are pure Bible. Like with anyone, discernment is needed when listening to his preaching.I'm deeply disturbed at the influx of Pastor Anderson videos posted on this site. Anyone who tells his congregation not to pray for a homosexuals salvation, but to pray that they go to hell, should never ever be considered a person of spiritual authority.
In Nazi Germany it was required by law to report the presence of Jews to authorities. What do you suppose God thought about that institutional policy?!Anti-Jewish Legislation in Prewar Germany
I hope that your conscience is not so seared that you think God approves of killing babies before they are born.You be the judge:

You will be REQUIRED to break man's law when "The Mark of The Beast" arrives.
Revelation 13:16-17 KJV
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
-------
Revelation 19:20 KJV
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Don’t drop your quest to follow scripture, but please find the wisdom of which scriptures are contextually valid for which circumstance. God hates murder and violence, and so any law that legalizes the murder of children in the womb is not something God would ever ordain. Man on his own has decided to institute something so vile, and God is allowing it for a time so that iniquity can abound more and more upon the earth until the return of Christ.I will drop my quest to follow scripture if you desire that.
I hope that your conscience is not so seared that you think God approves of killing babies before they are born.
However, you are making the assumption that just because God allows something to take place under the authority of an earthly government, that he sways and changes his mind upon what we must do in terms of what is righteous. God never changes his mind, neither changes his judgements.
Do you desire to be thrown in The Lake of Fire? If not, you can not take the mark.
Right. That's not in scripture, but is a common refrain.
That idea is overturned by these passages: Post #33
If I may offer a historical story like yours, which is also strictly history:
25 As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?”
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
27 The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”
“Yes, I am,” he answered.
28 Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.”
“But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
29 Those who were about to interrogate him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains.
Here Paul does not make appeals to man or God or justice, but to his citizenship.
I will imagine becasue he knew that God protected him through his citizenship.
I take this as an instructional passage on the power of God through government.
