When it works properly, government is an arm of God's law and truth. Sadly, government hasn't worked properly for centuries. As to your friends, yes, they should absolutely defy their government. It is evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a law does not follow God's law I will disobey it. God is first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, we should be very sure that when we do disobey government with the excuse that we are doing so to obey God, that there really is a commandment from God that supercedes a government law. God places a very high premium on our being subject to the governments. So if we are going to disobey them, we had better be sure we are not spiritualizing our desire to do what we want Well said. And sometimes when it comes down to it, it may be time to leave the country if possible. I cannot imagine a family having to deal with China's one child law.
