How is obeying the law of the land breaking the first commandment?
The first commandment essentially is "Only one god..do not worship another"
Let me try to make it simple for you again.
There are no "Christian laws."
The bible is a guide...pretty simple.
Ok ...Christians are to obey the law of the land wherever they may be...now if they were in a land without law...they still cant kill steal or have sex with thy neighbor...due to the guide.
If they are in an area which allows prostitution{legal}...it is still wrong to have sex with thy neighbor
See while legal they dont believe in it..so therefore do not promote it....now if a law was written that stated "You must have sex with thy neighbor then you may have an argument.
Below are the ten commandments
I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other God before me.
| Mosiah 12:34 Mosiah 12:35
|
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing in heaven above, or things which are in the earth beneath.
