Bible Question:
Civil disobedience is permitted when one feels their conscience has been violated. Did you agree or disagree? See the following passages: Ex. 1:15-20; Prov. 24:11-12; Acts 5:27-29; Rom. 13:1-7; Titus 3:1-2; 1 Pet. 2:13-14. |
Bible Answer: Civil disobedience 'The violation of our CONSCIENCE is not a biblical warrant for civil disobedience. The principle of obedience to the civil authority is taught in several places in the NEW TESTAMENT, and this at a time when the civil authority was a very corrupt and immoral one. There are, however, examples of civil disobedience in the Bible that are commended by God. The applicable biblical principle seems to be that civil disobedience is only acceptable, and perhaps even required, when it is to protect innocent human life. See the following passages: Ex. 1:15-20; Prov. 24:11-12; Acts 5:27-29; Rom. 13:1-7; Titus 3:1-2; 1 Pet. 2:13-14.' (http://www.solagroup.org/articles/christianliving/cl_0005.html) (Emphasis added.) |
