Well done and absolutely correct.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get us out of obeying speed limits, homeowners associations, obnoxious employers and other irksome rules that don't contradict God.
This is where more discussion is needed.
Here's a short series I posted about the exceptions (or "loopholes") I could think of.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.
For example, if a street gang or crime boss becomes the de-facto government in your neighborhood are they not in control for the same reason as your provincial or national government? If any of the three makes a demand on us that is not in conflict with God's commands, are we not obligated to obey them? If not, what makes one more legitimate under Romans 13 than the others?
Just read your link. So have you decided to follow the Bible or the Declaration of Independence? :)
Can you point out in the Bible where it says we have a 'right' to the 'pursuit of happiness'?
The Bible, of course. I find no concept of "rights" in the Bible. We were created to be servants and children of God who, under His perfectly just rule, have no need for rights. The concept of "rights" is only applicable when we are trying to limit man-made governments.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery....You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:1,13
Well said, @stan. We may have the freedom to do things, but that doesn't make it right.
