pure, and if your conduct is prudent,

you need not fear the multitude of opposing

hosts.” John Witherspoon

As Christians, we believe that we are

under an obligation to obey the laws of our land.

Romans 131 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Romans 132 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

Romans 133 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,

Romans 134 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

Romans 135 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.

Exodus 115 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”

Resisting the Forces of Evil Amram & Jochebed

Exodus 117 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”

Resisting the Forces of Evil Amram & Jochebed

Exodus 119 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” 20 So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous.

Exodus 121 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

Will churches retain their tax-exempt status?

“Now that the U.S. government formally recognizes marriage equality as a fundamental right, it really shouldn’t skew the tax code so as to give millions of dollars in tax breaks to groups which remain steadfastly bigoted on the subject.”Felix

Salmon

Will churches retain their tax-exempt status?

“If your organization does not support the right of gay men and women to marry, then the government should be very clear that you’re in the wrong, and it should certainly not bend over backwards to give you the privilege of tax exemption.”
