But, on the other hand:
Proverbs 24:11-12 (esv)
Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
I remember when in school this was discussed. A comparison was made (which is relevant today) if you are a nurse, your doctor is your boss. He has authority over you. But if he tells you to kill a patient, you cannot follow his orders.
God's laws are above man's laws.
Since the Dem party kicked out all mention of God years ago and promote Godless laws I cannot accept them as complete authority.
