Just as there is Good and Evil………Right and Wrong………..Light and Darkness…….
There’s Obedience and Disobedience,The choice is ours.
When a person claims to be a Christian this means they have made the choice to abide by the word of God and to follow his truth.We have an outline of what this means by the written word to his people which is the bible. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence (Lust), and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience”.(Colossians 3:5,6).
Even Jesus cried unto his Father for the trial he was enduring and through his obedience became the author of eternal salvation for many. “Who in the days of his flesh,when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death,and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son,yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him”.
(Hebrews 5:7-9).
It is difficult to be obedient when so many around us are claiming they have so much joy,but in reality it is a false comfort of a temporary place and the more we read the word the more we see that through obedience we will not be a part of the wrath God will pour out on those who choose to not serve him!”Neither filthiness, not foolish talking, nor jesting,which are not convienient: but rather giving of thanks.For this ye know,that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience”.(Ephesians 5:4-6).
Life is not easy by any means,but to have the comfort of knowing if we stay obedient to Christ even while others around us could not care about what happens to their soul the reward of an eternity in peace and joy forever helps us to press on! Life was not easy for our Saviour,yet he chose to suffer the cross for us.We are told to do the same if we are his disciples (Followers).
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,and take up his cross, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”.(Matthew 16:24-26).

Albert………All points made here are well taken! The Christian although born into an unjust system will always take the stand to be a part of what is God’s ways of life no matter how unpopular it may seem to those trying to change laws to support their sin.We do have freedom of speech here and that speech should always stand on the ways first given written in stone(Ten Commandments) and all Blessings which come from following and being obedient to those laws sent from on high! compared to the laws which are changable it seems daily to fit the sin of the season of man.Jesus Christ=THE SAME YESTERDAY,TODAY,AND FOREVER! Government is to be respected,but not to the point if it veers from the Truth of the word of God………Daniel was before a king that wrote a decree as the law of the land for his time, yet he chose to take to prayer to serve his God that has an unshakable kingdom and he was protected for following his faith in the God of God’s not the god’s of the people!.God Bless You Albert.

ATTAN DECLARATION: Short version: All about civil disobedience and duty to our GOD
A Summary
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family
We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are (1) the sanctity of human life, (2) the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife, and (3) the rights of conscience and religious liberty. Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Human Life
The lives of the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly are ever more threatened. While public opinion has moved in a pro-life direction, powerful and determined forces are working to expand abortion, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. Although the protection of the weak and vulnerable is the first obligation of government, the power of government is today often enlisted in the cause of promoting what Pope John Paul II called “the culture of death.” We pledge to work unceasingly for the equal protection of every innocent human being at every stage of development and in every condition. We will refuse to permit ourselves or our institutions to be implicated in the taking of human life and we will support in every possible way those who, in conscience, take the same stand.
Marriage
The institution of marriage, already wounded by promiscuity, infidelity and divorce, is at risk of being redefined and thus subverted. Marriage is the original and most important institution for sustaining the health, education, and welfare of all. Where marriage erodes, social pathologies rise. The impulse to redefine marriage is a symptom, rather than the cause, of the erosion of the marriage culture. It reflects a loss of understanding of the meaning of marriage as embodied in our civil law as well as our religious traditions. Yet it is critical that the impulse be resisted, for yielding to it would mean abandoning the possibility of restoring a sound understanding of marriage and, with it, the hope of rebuilding a healthy marriage culture. It would lock into place the false and destructive belief that marriage is all about romance and other adult satisfactions, and not, in any intrinsic way, about the unique character and value of acts and relationships whose meaning is shaped by their aptness for the generation, promotion and protection of life. Marriage is not a “social construction,” but is rather an objective reality—the covenantal union of husband and wife—that it is the duty of the law to recognize, honor, and protect.
Religious Liberty
Freedom of religion and the rights of conscience are gravely jeopardized. The threat to these fundamental principles of justice is evident in efforts to weaken or eliminate conscience protections for healthcare institutions and professionals, and in antidiscrimination statutes that are used as weapons to force religious institutions, charities, businesses, and service providers either to accept (and even facilitate) activities and relationships they judge to be immoral, or go out of business. Attacks on religious liberty are dire threats not only to individuals, but also to the institutions of civil society including families, charities, and religious communities. The health and well-being of such institutions provide an indispensable buffer against the overweening power of government and is essential to the flourishing of every other institution—including government itself—on which society depends.
Unjust Laws
As Christians, we believe in law and we respect the authority of earthly rulers. We count it as a special privilege to live in a democratic society where the moral claims of the law on us are even stronger in virtue of the rights of all citizens to participate in the political process. Yet even in a democratic regime, laws can be unjust. And from the beginning, our faith has taught that civil disobedience is required in the face of gravely unjust laws or laws that purport to require us to do what is unjust or otherwise immoral. Such laws lack the power to bind in conscience because they can claim no authority beyond that of sheer human will.
Therefore, let it be known that we will not comply with any edict that compels us or the institutions we lead to participate in or facilitate abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide, euthanasia, or any other act that violates the principle of the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of every member of the human family.
Further, let it be known that we will not bend to any rule forcing us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality, marriage, and the family.
Further, let it be known that we will not be intimidated into silence or acquiescence or the violation of our consciences by any power on earth, be it cultural or political, regardless of the consequences to ourselves.
We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God’s.
