Mans law or Gods law?

[W2L]

Who do we obey?

Both until the secular law compels you to violate God's laws.

Who do we obey?

Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

Thank you. So Gods law has not been replaced by mans law, correct?

If you've got a point to make, please just make it and stop wasting everybody's time.

That's right. In the Revelation the "mark of the beast" and the compelling of Christians to worship the "image of the beast" are examples of secular law conflicting with God's law.

Im just wanting confirmation. Sorry if that wasted your time friend.

This sums it up perfectly. We are first to obey God's Law, which also commands us to follow the law of the land. However, if that law contradicts what God has spoken in His Word, you are in disobedience to God.

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. (Romans 13:1)

An example of what man says is lawful, but unlawful to God, is legalized abortion (a.k.a. murder).

Some posters on CF seem to believe that Gods law, even the commands of Christ, have been rightly replaced by mans law, and that this is Gods will. Thats why i started this thread, i wanted to see if anyone shares that opinion.

If that's what you were trying to do, use a hypothetical case or something.

Sorry, i thought it was just a simple question, i never thought it was confusing.

Sorry, i thought it was just a simple question, i never thought it was confusing.

And the simple answer was "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Yes, there are CF members who will follow man's laws as if they were the commands of Christ, as the religious crowd of Jesus' day had the teachings of their elders. We only need to obey Scripture, God's rule for faith and life.

Confirmation of exactly what? The OP is so broad it asks nothing. It only sets up an argument.

What are you referring to by man's law?

Its pretty simple. The only argument is you.
