When must we refuse to obey the State?
It was Peter who called us to practice only a relative obedience toward the state when he said, “We must obey god rather than men” (Acts 5:29). If a state should establish laws and procedures that are racist, sexist, or destructive of human life, a Christian is obliged in conscience to refuse to obey, to refrain from participation, and to offer resistance.
