Every Christian can Defy Man's laws. But when?

Every Christian has the God-granted authority to do what Kentuckian Kim Davis did. 

For it is always better to obey God than man (Acts 5:29).

And while this is the case, it is not always strategic or prudent to do so.

For example, running red lights even though you don't believe in the human authority of the police officer that issues the ticket is not wise. 

You will owe the state hundreds of dollars in fees before the law or the grassroots will side in your favor.

Repeated offenses will get your freedom to drive taken away. Too much to lose, not much to gain. 

Or...

In the case of Eric Garner, it was unwise to resist arrest, although under a biblical framework the police had no authority to arrest him, for they were enforcing petty tax laws, which I'd argued go over and beyond any biblical limit.

However, it is absolutely OK for that same police officer to overlook and not enforce those laws.

And such is the case with Kim Davis.

On Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis' alleged hypocrisy

If Kim Davis' story holds up (notice the "if") and she is a recent convert to Christianity, then liberals are simply hypocrites. 

You can't judge her according to standards she didn't hold yet. 

But let's see, according to liberalism, she can get divorced and married all she wants. It's only when you assume Christian standards that the question of hypocrisy arises.

Let's push this one step further: We must then ask do these fault-finders want to assume Christian standards when judging the institute of marriage?

Bingo.

I didn't think so.

But here's the thing...it's completely irrelevant.

This is simply a cousin of the "straights have ruined marriage so let us have the right to get married too" argument. It's a complete non-sequitur (the "tu quoque" fallacy). It does not follow. One's immorality is not a license for another's.

The dividing line here, as it always has been from the beginning, is the Word of God.
