a very disappointing article. Why are Christians so focused on the attention of jackson. How can you expect the world to value the sacrifice of Christians? That makes no sense. They hated Christ and derided his sacrifice. So now we want them to acknowledge Christians around the world. read your word Dr Moeller, christians dont expect or desire such recognition from the world..

Nevertheless, my point is not that civil disobedience is unbiblical. But if you say that civil disobedience is allowable and justifiable, how do you then say that the violence done in just cause is not allowed or cannot be justified?

Black, the laws broken in Acts were laws not dealing with civil laws but the religious community. And your comment about the prophets disagreeing with the kings is too broad. Disagreement with the king is not civil disobedience. Now, the Hebrew boys was a situation that was an exception, even if you look at the circumstances surrounding it. Such an example is not advocating civil disobedience.

Mindfulmission, where? What civil laws did Jesus disobey. Just saying he did but not giving reference doesnt cut it. Give scripture reference!

Mohler wrote, "Civil disobedience may be justified so long as the Christian is willing to suffer at the hands of the governing authorities, but is not justified if the citizen employs violence against the state or against other citizens." Where do we find civil disobedience acceptable or justifiable in the bible? If then the argument is that when laws contradict the laws of God then Christians can participate in civil disobedience, then how do we define the nature of the civil disobedience? How do you decide that violence is unbiblical and disobedience is biblical? If the person that is willing to suffer consequences for his civil disobedience at the hands of government is just, how about the person willing to suffer for his civil violence, especially when it is acknowledged that abortion is a heinous evil directed at the most vulnerable?

1272, i do not expect Colson to address every angle, however, I do expect him to demonstrate that he is aware of the other angles and his comments do not show that. Colson does not express well thought out biblical answers. Futhermore, he seems very much unaware of this. He offers answers that are woefully inadequate to deal with complex issues. I am not saying simplicity is wrong; however simplistic answers do not equate to adequacy or sufficiency.

The more I read Colson on some of these issues, the more I see his lack of Scripture and theological clarity. His myopic views cloud his understanding of the issues. For instance, he says the God-ordained way of having children, does this mean that any other way is God-condemned. I believe that destroying embryos are wrong. However, if a couple only uses one embryo in the IVF process is that wrong? Also, does Colson and others who would side with him believe that birth control pills are wrong since it interferes with God-ordained way of multiplying? Similarly, is all fertility assistance wrong since God did not ordain them? One last point, did Colson consider that some who go through the process of IVF did so for different reasons than he suggested? Christians should be careful when they start to go beyond the Scriptures to prove their point.

As a black evangelical, I am constantly amazed at the lack of biblical thought by evangelicals like Colson. His Christianity and that of his friends seems grounded in patriotism and their culture and not sound bible doctrine. As he had to remind them of the sovereignty of God. His narrow cultural and generational views guide his beliefs. For instance, Blacks supported the liberal base because of money that was promised to their community. How myopic is that! The next cultural, generational and racial presupposition: Obama's election now validates that this is land of opportunity of each individual. I guess Colson is telling the Blacks "no more excuses" all is equal now. No more about inequality or racism; Barack's election shows that it is all on you. So get out there and pull yourself up by the bootstrap.
