[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6043062, member: 24302"] If a speed limit says 35 mph, and you blow through it at 60 because you don't obey authority, not only would you be displeasing to God but the very possible carnage that can result from disobeying the law would indeed be satanic. Laws concerning safety are designed to protect us. Same with laws concerning investing. Same with labor laws. You don't rage against the machine declaring you don't have to obey government because it's corrupt and satanic. If people in authority are corrupt God will deal with them. But as Christians we are to obey laws unless they.attempt to force us to violate beliefs. For example many Christians don't believe in fighting wars. The government makes allowances for conscientious objectors. But they still expect us to fulfill our obligations as citizens such as being a medic or cook. Non-combatants. There's a lot more to it than you declaring everything you don't like satanic. And condemning people who don't see it like you do. [/QUOTE]
