The answer to that question may be found in Acts 5:27-29, “Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this Name,' he said. 'Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.' Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than men!'“ From this, it is clear that as long as the law of the land does not contradict the law of God, we are bound to obey the law of the land.
Jibu kwa swali hilo linaweza patikana katika Matendo Ya Mitume 5:27-29, “Walipowaleta, wakawaweka katika baraza, kuhani Mkuu akawauliza, akisema, Je! Hatukuwaamuru ninyi kwa nguvu, msifundishe kwa jina hili? Nanyi, tazameni mmeijaza Yerusalemu mafundisho yenu, na mnataka kuileta damu ya mtu Yule juu yetu. Petro na mitume wakajibu, wakisema, Imetupasa kumtii Mungu kuliko wanadamu.” Hii iko wazi kuwa bora tu sheria ya nchi haitilafiani na sheria ya Mungu, wote tumefungwa kuitii sheria ya nchi.
