I dont think she'll answer. I've tried to ask in a couple ways and she deflects or changes the subject. Maybe she hasn't really thought about it deeply or maybe is afraid to admit she misspoke or perhaps she just needs to do some soul searching on the matter but as it stands, it's kinda telling that she won't give a clear answer.

It's a pretty simple question though.
And it's not that I have a problem with your answers but I'm concerned at your non-answers and evasion. As a follower of the One True God it shouldn't be difficult to speak up, so to speak, and say yes, God is more important than the government I work for. I put Him first, not Man and am loyal to Him above all.
I'm sorry you feel you can't give an answer. Praying you'll be able to examine yourself and figure out where your loyalties should lie before it's too late. Oh, and you're not a silly old hag.

Wow... what an evasive response. I'm sorry, but that really permits only so many conclusions.
Can you say that if the president told you to do something you knew was sinful -- not a gray area or not something that unfortunately has to happen in wartime -- you would do it to remain loyal to him/her? This is a simple yes or no question.

Government is ultimately to be a servant of God, the earthly entity designed to mitigate the chaos that sin brings. Of course we know Romans 13, and this quote from the Federalist: If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
Like all things human, governments have to answer to God. I will obey the laws of my nation -- until they cease to be righteous. How do I know what's righteous? Not by my own sinful heart, that's for sure, but by the word of God. Sir William Blackstone said that any laws not aligned with the Bible were not valid.
