David:
It seems to me that many things can be sins without being crimes. Abortion and self righteousness and coveting are not even misdemeanors, but they are terrible sins.
When God said obey the government, He did not put in an exception for the small stuff. If the government says to do something, and you do not do something, you sin, not because it is a crime, but because God has given them the authority to regulate your behavior, and He has given them the authority to change the law, including speed limits, as they see fit.
Now that you know that, you have to watch that speedometer, or end up a dirty old sinner like Slade and Perry, and Izzy and me.

Even the secular powers do not consider driving above the speed limit a crime, yet you seem to treat this kind of mistake the same as murder. Do you think God's wrath boils against you when you accidentally slip above the speed limit a few miles per hour? Do you think God's attitude toward it changes when men's laws change and increase the speed limit for a particular road? For example, was God angry with those who drove 60 mph on the interstate back when the law said the speed limit was 55, and now that man says that 70 mph is ok God does not have a problem with it? I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you think that God's sense of morality is dependent upon what men consider right and wrong, or are men subject to God's sense of morality? Peace be with you.
