Law


Though God out all leaders in power, governments as a whole do not have the ultimate authority for laws. Though we are told to respect those God puts in control because they are there to help and guide us, the laws in place do not always agree with God's word. When it comes down to God's law verses society's law, we should always obey God's law. As Christians, we know God created laws in the beginning (i.e. the ten commandments) and they are still in effect today because they are helpful and successful. God's law holds His people accountable. Sarah is a Secular Humanist who believes that man or society should make their own laws meaning they are always subject to change. Secular Humanists believe that they know what is best for society, rather than that God does. As Christians, we believe that God has ultimate authority and that the laws he originally made before Adam and Eve are still in place to create peace for people. His laws guide us so we don't get wrapped up in society and create our own guidelines for ourselves. If the government goes against our own morals or laws, we should follow God's law instead because he created His laws purposefully for each of us.
