The “rule of law” is the antithesis of your reasoning. And btw Matthew 22:21 Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
You can’t have it both ways. You must adhere to the “rule of law” and work tirelessly to change the bad or unjust ones as conservatives have though out the ages espoused or pick and choose which laws you will abide and others not as is so common on the left.
That’s a pretty sad use of Matthew 22:21. Think about what you just wrote, the second part answers your own objection.
“To God the things that are God’s.”
Gods law overrules all human laws and any human law that is contrary to
God’s is void ab initio.
That’s the reason the “I was only following orders” defense didn’t work at Nuremberg and is not a defense to following orders to commit war crimes today.
The very foundational document in this country recognizes this same principle.
“
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. “
You can tout “rule of law” all that you like, but Lex iniusta non est lex.
