No law can give me the right to do what is wrong. (Abraham Lincoln)
Laws and rules are set in place not only to keep us from doing wrong, but to help us do what is right. If a person of high moral and ethical standards is faced with a law that would cause him to do wrong, he must follow a higher law.
Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! (Acts 5:29)
