What happens when man's law conflicts with God's?
Shouldn't you pursue God's law, even if it means jail time?

I am not Ayenmol but if he was an SDA Ellen G White writings would tell you to uphold God's will even if it means jail time.
But I recall he is a JW. The same would apply.
I am curious black. Where would he find himself in jail?
In reply to nick2020
Not that hard to land yourself in jail, there are contentious/conflicting issues on abortion, gay rights, etc.
Acts 5:
In reply to black
Not sure why i'd go to jail for that. We are not activist. We teach persons the Bible, they decide what to do with it.
Feel free to read this article if you want to see the Bible'says view.
In reply to Ayenmol
Are you willing to defy Man's law, where and whenever it conflicts with God's word? Yes or no?
In reply to black
So how does you obeying God's Law mean you force others to follow suit?
In reply to black
That is not a question that needs to be answered in words...I have shown you what the Bible says.

Isaiah 5:20King James Version (KJV)

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
What are you doing about it?
In reply to black
Why is that for him to deal with?
In reply to nick2020
Well, because some people are targeting gays and other nonconformists, instead of fighting against the law.
In reply to black
True Christians do not fight against the law. They are keenly aware that the World is controlled by the devil. Only God's Kingdom can change things for the better.
Jesus was put to death unjustly. Yet when Peter tried to defend him by the sword he instructed Peter to put the sword away.
What true Christians are doing is what Jesus did...which is why they are called Christians...and what did Jesus do?
Matthew 4:
Jesus taught about God's Kingdom. God's Government as the only hope for mankind. He healed the sick, fed the hungry and even brought the dead to life! Foreshadowing the Blessings that God's Kingdom will bring!

Okay but black where in the Bible does it say Christians need to seek to right wrongs and risk imprisonment? I would figure that is the domain of God.
I have a counter question for you - why do you dwell so much on beliefs? I think we will all find out what is in store for us after we die. You believe it is nothing. Nuttin wrong with that in my books. Ayenmol believes it is something.
Live and let live.

My question was, what happens when God's word conflict with Man's laws?
You cannot have it both ways, you either follow God's laws or Man's laws. That is going to put you in conflict, where you might have to decide between God or jail.
In reply to black
black please read what I said and stop fishing.
Nothing happens when God's word conflicts human law.
The End.
In reply to Ayenmol and Nick
It's not as ridiculous as it might seem, this happens a lot in the Middle East.
In reply to black
I would take the bullet, if push comes to shove!
Absolutely no question here on the reality of God and godliness!
God's law rule supreme every time - Christian God!

Are Muslims more devout than Christians?
In reply to XDFIX
If you followed the Bible the way it was intended, you'd be in jail by now.
There are many Jehovah's Witnesses who have been killed for their faith. Not because they rebelled, demonstrated or otherwise, simply because they refused to engage in atrocities.
Unlike other Religions who either actively participate or tacitly permit atrocities in the moment then apologise and condemn in retrospect, God's people are able to quickly identify issues that are contrary to the Teachings of th e Bible and avoid them.
Wars, Genocide, Political unrest, racial conflict etc etc...no matter the place. Nazi Germany, Hutu/Tutsi.
Even today Witnesses are imprisoned in Russia, Eritrea, some for 20 plus years now for conscientious objection to laws that would force them to violate God's law. So this is not a matter of if...
Even in the United States and Canada Witnesses endured various unlawful attacks, many perpetrated by the Clergy. Others due to their neutral stand on Nationalistic issues.

You know when your only purpose is to get as many posts in your threads you lose the substance of your topics.
In reply to Ayenmol
Amen to that bro.
When you are prosecuted so much you must be doing something right.
In reply to nick2020
Explain.
You always interject with some vague nonsense.
In reply to black
That is pretty clear black.
In reply to Ayenmol
Sharia laws, are they not based on the interpretations of the Quran?
Are you telling me that the Bible does not have similar laws that would put its followers outside of the law?
If you were to follow the Bible literally, (every law or command) would that not put you outside of the law at some point?
So my question is, are you not picking and choosing what commands to follow?
