Okay, I was answering this other questionhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060612123947AA2lDRY&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMhDRUVGMYRk1KrLTnRGOeQgNI7le3AGOmiA--#NbUvWzS.Uji0fQ6sdHS0
When I stumbled on a thought.
Romans 13: 1-3
Basically, that we should submit to authority, because God has established them in that position, and to rebel "will bring judgment on themselves"
It goes on to say
3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
So, (and Im looking for real answers here)
Does this say we should follow the law of the land, whatever our government authority is, or do we do the "right" things anyway? For examples, abortion is legal, does that mean God wanted it that way? Or, if Gay marriage become legal did God want it that way as he established that Government.
