Civil Disobedience and Christians

There's an increasing discussion, on the web, about expectations of possible civil unrest. This video is NOT what you think; please watch it.



Each Christian must decide for themselves, but Acts 5:29 says, "Peter and the apostles answered, 'It's necessary to obey God rather than men.'" Before someone goes off half-cocked, note that the conflict in question was a legal requirement to stop talking about Jesus - and the disciples refused.

Think carefully and prayerfully before you take an irrevocable step.

I think here I will have to take my role model from one of my Heroes: "This man as a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;

Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.

Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood."
