Contendah, my Friend,
You tell me of the Ten Commandments, "wholly contradictory to existing judicial decisions."
So, in YOUR theology -- man trumps God, right?
The following is a good answer to the question of God or Man:
Shall We Obey God's Law Or Human Law?
http://carm.org/shall-we-obey-gods-law-or-human-law
Acts 5:29 and Romans 13:1; I Peter 2:13
Obey God:
Acts 5:29, "But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men."
Obey Man:
Romans 13:1, "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God."
1 Peter 2:13, "Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,"
The simple answer is that Christians are to obey human law except where that human law violates God's Law. Our supreme duty is to obey God. Since God tells us to also obey human laws, we should. But, when they come in conflict, we are to"obey God rather than men."
Contendah, my Friend, I believe the Bible teaches that we should obey God. My faith, and the Great Commission, tells me share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with ALL the world. And, that does not exclude schools, public buildings, public parks, etc. ALL the world means, well, ALL the world.
What does it mean in YOUR legalistic church and theology? It would seem that YOUR belief is that we should share the Gospel -- EXCEPT where man tells us not to share it. Well, gee whiz, with our non-believing and atheistic Friends -- that would be everywhere.
So, my Friend, who do YOU follow -- God or man?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
