A Christian can disobey the government when it makes a direction that, in the view of the courts, is contrary to the Constitution. A Christian can also disobey the government when it makes a direction that is contrary to its own legislation.

In some circumstances, a Christian is permitted to disobey the government when it directs that person to take an action that is contrary to his or her conscience. So, a person is permitted to refuse active military service on the grounds of conscience, and a health worker is permitted to refuse to perform an abortion on the same grounds. This exemption does not extend to harrassing or obstructing others who obey the government.
