If I broke a law made by man, would I have sinned against God?

Answer 1

if you broke a law made by man I almost completely guarantee you that you commit some kind of sin or transgression or a lower form of iniquity. there is a difference between sin and inquity.
if you broke a misdemeanor law, there isnt much of sin but rather a civil offense. Not all things in the scriptures are laws of sin and transgression! Jesus made a very clear point about mole hills and mountains.
All sin have consequences so do all iniquities. All laws made by men have consequences and there military and police groups that uphold the ability to prosecute. Some law are clearly stupid and should never have been written, but consequences will always follow.
All of the commandments of God are designed to Make LIFE full... they are not meant to oppress and bind, it is better to live the commands of God than to rebel or disobey them.

Answer 2

No...there are lots of man made laws that are not sins. For instance, speeding, everytime you speed you are breaking a man made law, this isn't sinning in my book. If you ask me if something feels morally wrong that would be a "sin." Then again who decided what would be morally wrong? Apparently the guys who wrote the bible did a pretty good job considering it has been around for so long.

Answer 3

yes .. if that law isnt against the laws of God.
for eg.. if u break the signal .. then u have broken a law plus sinned (cuz the traffic signal is made for the benefit of ppl)
but if some idiot has made some law thats against the laws of God.. then breakin' it would definitely NOT be a sin.. rather on the other hand it would be a good deed:)

Answer 4

God has an easy system:

First, he forgives everything. Your quality of life is on the honor system. If you want to grow your character into something respectible, it's up to you.

Second, he gives you hints to figure out what he's like and what he wants. Law #1: love god. Law #2: love your neighbor as much as you love yourself. Simple, to the point. You really can't miss unless you want to.

Then the race is on. Anyone who finishes the race as a lifeless, corrupted lying bastard is pretty much a loser because they treat everyone around them with contempt. Won't get into the pearly gates.

Anyone who finishes showing real improvement has probably only done it one way: they realized they couldn't do it on their own and asked for help. That's where salvation comes in.

As for the laws of man, they really don't play a part. They're just guidelines.

Answer 5

All sins are sins against God, not against people. We are commanded to obey the laws of the land, providing that they do not conflict with Biblical teachings.
For example, if Congress passed a law saying every citizen must go out and kill a homeless person, I would be justified (it would not be a sin) in breaking that law because it violates Biblical teachings.

Answer 6

Yes but only if it is a just law, if this law goes against the law of God then it would be sinful to obey it,this is one of the reasons that people have been persecuted throughout the ages.

Answer 7

Yes if you have gone angainst one of God's laws.

We see however that should the law violate any of the commands given by the Lord then no.

Examples : Daniel
The three Hebrew boys in Daniell

Answer 9

Depends what law you broke, for example if you stole then yes, it is one of the 10 commandments.

Answer 10

you are going against God laws
Ten commandments are very clear of His given instructions
