Resisting the Beast

   “But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets, but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.” (James 1:25).

   In last month’s WCN article, we referred to “Biblically correct resistance” (aka righteous resistance) as a response to certain laws and/or actions by government, noting the general rule that we are called to obey our government laws and officials unless what they impose clashes with God’s laws (Romans 13; Acts 5:29).   The fact is, government’s laws now decree or tacitly condone several practices that clash with God’s laws – e.g., abortion, sodomite “marriage,” pornography, banning of Christian activity in the public square, free speech infringements, etc. – so whose laws shall we follow on these issues?
