Chris the Anarchist,
You are the perfect example of why God included exhortation
in His Word to obey the civil authority. I happen to know a speeder who did NOT
get a ticket—but went to jail instead (perhaps you would like that better?).
And if you ever worked in the ICU, trying to patch accident victims, you would
know why speed limits are necessary. My husband and I have personally, in
the past year, been the victim of someone (our taxi driver) who thought no one
was coming at the red stop light—WRONG!!! This was the worst way to
extend our trip to San Juan…

Greetings Slade in the
Matchless Name of YahShua !!
I dug this one out of my
archives that someone submitted on another list about four years ago ...
(1st)
Going over the posted speed limit is not necessarily breaking any 'law'.
'Speeding' is simply an 'infraction' of the code of the state. That is, if one
makes the decision to go over the posted limit that person makes a choice
willingly, if caught by the police, to pay dues or fines for the infraction of
a contract. The infraction of the contract, is the one when he takes a state
issued drivers license he agrees to abid by the code of said state, and by
extension the code of another state in which he wishes to travel. So speeding
is the breaking of a contract and getting caught, the penality is a fine.
(2nd)
A speed limit in and of itself is an unjust tax. That is a tax upon ones time.
In effect it is an act of theft.
(3rd)
In order for there to be a 'law' against something there needs to be an injured
party or should be at least. The state can not be an injured party in such an
act, only as it is breaking the aforementioned contract. Same way as when one
comes to a red light in the middle of the night out on the open road and no
other vehicles in sight for as far as one can see. Please find me the victim or
injured party for stoping and then proceeding through the light. The only
victim is the one that sits and waits for the green light (a slave or one in
servitude if you will) it is an undue tax upon their time, another act of
theft.
(4th)
There is no reason to enter into the contract mentioned above, as freedom of
travel is a right not a privilage. Only in a police state would one be denied
the freedom of travel. This idea that driving is a privilage can only come from
people being dumbed down in our public education system. Ya see the legal
definition of a license grants permision to one to do that which would
otherwise be unlawful. Traveling the last time I knew was not something that is
unlawful. Neither is the owning of property to do so and than using it for said
purpose.

Oops, I forgot about this
part...
Submit
yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as
the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of
evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God
that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free
men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as
bondslaves of God. Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the
King (1 Kefa/Peter 2:13-17)

Speeding is not sin?
For those of you who think you can speed and not be committing
sin, read the following. Remember, just because an enforcer of the law does not
tag you when you just barely break a law, doesn’t mean it's not breaking
the law. You still break the law and you offend the Most High God in the
process.
Every person
is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority
except from God, and God establishes those who exist. Therefore whoever resists
authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will
receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not causes of fear for
good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what
is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to
you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the
sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on
the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not
only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. (Romans
13:1-5)
