As far as it doesn't conflict with the Law of God.

Dear falseflagwtc,
The Bible does indeed teach to obey authority and the law- because to do so is to show respect to God. However, the Bible also teaches us in the book of Acts - when Peter was preaching the gospel and he was instructed to stop - Peter asked should i obey men or God?
The Bible teaches that we are to obey authority- unless authority puts us in a situation where we would disobey God. So for example if my boss at work tells me to kill someone, i'm not going to do it- and i don't think God is going to say you disobeyed me.
Simply put: Obey authority, unless obedience causes you to disobey God, because God is first!!
Kindly,
Nickster

We cannot deny Christ or take the 'mark of the beast'. But the Rapture should occur b/4 the anti-Christ. The ones turning Christian after the Rapture will be persecuted for sticking to certain morals.

yes unless it is against Gods will. So if the government said that murder is now legal ... its still not such a good idea...
