:cheers: Im not understand at all any who call themselves christians, defending the laws of man over God, its like they have never read a bible in their lives.
Apparently you have NEVER read Rom 13:1-7 (NIV)?

so if you lived in berlin in 1943, you would have acquiesced to every order emanating from the bundestag?
Apparently you didn't notice the question mark?
I am not qualified to interpret the law. That is why I asked the question.
I have another question. If Federal Law always trumps State Law, then, what is the point of State Law?
Well, you just go do that. Put your convictions in front of the world.
Some how I suspect you are not as tough as you suggest in real life.
Because most Federal law does not impact on most state law. For example, states have criminal laws that usually do not require the Feds to be involved. You assault someone in your state, the state charges you.
You default on your home mortgage, the foreclosure happens in state court.
the Feds do not necessarily control your use of your property---zoning for example---your state does---or your local municipality.
But if the Federal government has legislation in an area it usually preempts state law---the Clean Air Act for example. Or bankruptcy.
The Federal Constitution preempts everything.
In terms of interpreting the law---that is the province of a judge. Some states elect their judges, some appoint them. Federal judges are appointed.
Some judges are good, some are great, some are awful. Some, especially those who are elected pander to the public, some who are appointed pander to the politicians who appointed them. They are each a human being who may or may not be trying to do a good job.

Here's the thing about the objective moral truth. We already have one. It's called the law. That is the standard that everyone within the United States has to abide by, OR face the consequences.
Kim made her decision.
That doesn't address my question, and if you think Berlin was bad, how about Roman dominated Jerusalem that Paul was in?
You either believe what the Bible says, and obey it, or you always look for excuses to not believe and faithfully obey.
That choice of course is yours.

your question:
my response requires you to connect the dots, but i'll do it for you
we are not, as Christians, required to honor corrupt law, made by evil men.
clear enough for you sparky?

Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1" — that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.
:rotfl:
And just how will you not honor this particular "corrupt" law? Are you someone who provides marriage licenses? Are you a judge? Other than that what will you do to show your particular displeasure???

actually, the jokes on you (and me - Spitfire would have caught this)
the Bundestag was not only not Nazi, it wasn't in existence in 1943

i don't recognize homosexual "marriages" as such
Same sex marriage is NOT "objectively immoral ". YOU and some other right-wing Americans think it is because you are hostile to gay people .
Murdering people, cruelty, cheating, stealing , lying , etc are
immoral . How can gay people being married harm anyone or deprive others of their rights , or violate their rights, interfere with their
private lives and cause them difficulty ? It can't and doesn't .
How is Kim Davis harmed by gay people being married ? Does this interfere with her current marriage ?
Davis refused to do her job because of HER personal religious
beliefs . She has no right to do this, nor does anyone else .
She should seek employment in another field . No one is "persecuting " her for being a Christian . She is reaping the consequences of her foolishness, and has no one but herself to blame .

Well, fornicators are actually supposed to marry each other.
Oh. THAT is your excuse for turning a blind eye to fornicators ... and adulterers?

Yeah, I think that people who commit adultery and then want to get married ought to be turned away.
Who cares? Are you in any position of authority that what you "recognize" or not matters? Other than making your self-rightous fanny feel good, who cares?
And, other than being in the adulterer's bedrooms how are you going to know in order to make that decision? Ah, but perhaps that is the point, you get to monitor others' private and sex lives.
