If the government says not to teach the bible, or not to preach the gospel, then that's something worth going to jail over.
So teaching about one man / one woman marriage as found in the bible is ok? But not doing what we preach would be hypocritical, no?

We should preach the truth, and then do what we preach.
If the government wants to make gay marriage legal everywhere, is it really biblical for Christians to go to jail for participating in illegal protests?
1. I'm to preach homosexuality is wrong, because it is.
2. I'm to personally DO what I preach... thus not be involved in this kind of sin myself.
3. That's all.
4. Where in the Bible does it say I'm supposed to go to jail for protesting against the "sin of the day"?
5. That isn't in the Bible.
Nowhere in the bible does it say we're to protest the "sin of the day" in an illegal way, and get ourselves thrown in jail.
We are to preach the truth, and then do what we preach.
This has NOTHING to do with going to jail because some guy across town wants to marry his boyfriend.
If the guy next door wants to marry his boyfriend, I might not like it, but I'm not going to jail for HIM.
I'm not going to risk jail for protesting HIS stupidity.
If he wants to marry his boyfriend, what I'm going to do is stay OUT of jail, so I can minister to people who actually have sense.
Now, if it becomes illegal to preach... that's a whole different scenario.
Preaching the gospel is our whole reason for being here.
That is an entirely different issue.
