[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5629836, member: 24302"] You are 100% correct in that we are to obey the law. As long as they don't violate God's law. The state can sanction execution for crimes committed, it's not murder. But the state isn't free to execute you because you're gay. If they do Christians must stand up to that. And no doubt there are those who claim Christianity who would be fine with the state killing you. They would be wrong to do so. And when Hitler first came into power it took time for people to realize what he was about. Christians were wrong to support him and there were Christian clergy who paid dearly for standing against him. I forget the chapter and verse but if I've got the quote right Jesus said "not everyone who sayeth unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into heaven but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven."
