Oh wise sage, what am I idolizing? I am saying that defiance against a government that directly opposes biblical values is biblically justified. You just contradicted yourself. Our government steals, they murder, they commit more atrocities than you or I will ever know. They fund abortions, they fund sexual immorality, and they oppress Christians openly. It is our duty to defy them. I’m not advocating for a violent revolt, but for mass non-compliance. The early Christians meeting in secret was an act of defiance against the government, are they condemned?
