When, if ever, can people of Judeo-Christian faith, break the law?

As far as I can tell - it’s not very often. I did some contemplative thinking this afternoon after our discussion this morning on various different church’s harboring undocumented illegal workers. This was sparked not only by our conversation but also by an e-mail from a listener. I’ve come to the conclusion that unless the law prevents you from knowing God and making Him known, it should be followed. Let me clarify however, that those issues should never be a problem because of the rights guaranteed to us in the constitution. Personally as a Christian, I break down my priorities in this order: Faith, family, country. My faith just so happens to make mention of following the rule of law. Let me quote the Bible:

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. - Romans 13:1

So, I encourage everyone to follow the rule of law. If the law is inadequate, or unjustified, then let us work to change that law. Debate on this issue is not only helpful, it’s a vital part of the the democratic process. The Bible also speaks specifically of aiding others in need, just look at the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37.) I think the best way we can help illegal immigrants is to treat them with respect as humans, and encourage them to follow the laws that govern our lands, rather than aide them in breaking the law.
