Can Earthly Laws Change God’s Mind?
“We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.”
That’s what our twelfth Article of Faith says. But, what happens when God’s will is contradicted by the law of the land? To what extent do our earthly laws influence God’s decisions?
What the scriptures say
There are several examples from the scriptures (and church history) that can give us some insight into how God interacts with government mandates.
Christ and the adulterous woman
Render un to Caesar that which is Caesar’s
Praying against the law in BoM
Polygamy in church history
