Who should I obey a court order or God?

Utopia yeah exactly ;-)

Does that mean Christians may lie when and where ever it suits them?
Whereto a non believer are a real bad person for doing the same thing hey!

Thehelper - *Their is one loophole that I know about (I know social services laws) if you just accidently ran into your family in a public area social services can’t do anything about it.

read the court order carefully, you might find another loophole*

Isn’t that lying Thehelper???

Your children will end up in the hands of CPS. Stop disobeying the court immediately or you will probably suffer extreme consequences. If god decides he wants you to disobey a court order, let him tell you that personally before you simply assume it to be true.

Uh, has god spoken to you personally? Or are you just deciding that your god prefers you to do the thing you already want to do?

We feel God has made me the head of the household, so how can I be the head if I’m not in the household

God is the head of the household, even before you. Its easy to have the mindset that if you’re there everything will be alright, but you just need to leave it in God’s hands and believe He will make things alright. Follow the court order, it is not against the Word. Follow the law and do as the judge says, dont do anything that might turn this situation worse.

the bible says to obey the laws of the land. I’m sorry but it would be best to move out. you can’t be the head of the household while your in prison.

personally, I think you should obey the court, and leave the rest in gods hands. I’d put the entire situation in gods hands. have faith . if the court finds you disobeying the rules they made, that makes you look rebellious, and could hurt your case. you can still be head of house hold by supporting your family financially.right now you are putting it in your hands, dealing with it the way you see fit. GOD can work miracles. put your trust in god, and he’ll do the right thing. your doing the wrong thing by doing what you feel is right.

May I just ask you, who was looking out for your wellbeing when you were falsely accused of harming that kid and why did you still end up in jail and are ordered not To stay at your own home, if god is taking care of you? Now you want to spend a possible 2 + years in jail for disobeying a court order? My advice is, you are in over your head already, why try your luck again??? Obey the order, it would be hard, but I assure you spending a much longer time in jail wouldn’t be worth taking this risk!

Who is then going to be the caretaker of your familty???

There are exceptions to every rule (most everyone would agree slavery NEVER should have been legal) but I don’t think this is the case here. God helps those who help themselves and I believe you can best help by obeying the law.

Think of the fathers stationed in other countries b/c of war, falsely imprisoned, etc. There is much more to being a good father than residing with the family 24-7.

Riiight… find loopholes and exploit them… is that the ‘righteousness’ Christians so often speak of?

You are not DISOBEYING God by following the court order, and I think that’s an important point to make. You can obey God AND the court (and better your chances in this whole mess) by following the court order and trusting that God will in turn take care of you for doing what you should, exhibiting patience and peace through trust.

Nobody said obeying God would be easy.

If that’s the course you choose to take, then you’re going to have to suffer the consequences of those actions.

yes, jane, that is lying…but thehelper is a christian so it is okay for him to lie…

You can’t provide for your family when you’re in jail… and the law doesn’t recognize God as an authority in the matter.

Do whatever you are willing to pay the consequences for. If the court can put you in jail and separate you from your kids because of disobeying a court order, how can you serve as the head of house from a cell? Living separately in your own place , instead of in a jail cell sounds better to me personally. Then after a while of proving yourself maybe things might change.
