It's common when people hear someone asking if they have broken the law to think of civil law. These types of laws are installed by man and most preachers usually work it into their sermons to obey the laws of the land. One particular passage that clergy uses is Romans chapter 13 which explains your duty under government. If Christians were to obey the law of man as they do the law of God to its entirety, Christianity would cease to exist. Following Romans 13 would therefore only be for Godly Government. This ideal is very well outlined in a book called "Christian Duty under Corrupt Government" by Ted R. Weiland. This book explains the duties of a Christian probably more than any other book I have on the subject. I own this book and if anyone would like to borrow it that knows me personally, then let me know.
Examples of people breaking the Civil Law of man are numerous in the Bible, for example Daniel who refused to stop praying to Yahweh and was thrown into a lions den. Most will think he was a brave man who did right for God. But, then the people that think he was brave for praying will then go to a PTA meeting at school and not say a thing when they take prayer out of school. So what is a Godly law? I will start by telling you what it is not. It is not a law that contradicts the Bible according to Peter and the Apostles Acts 5:27-29. Any time a law contradicts the Bible, you have to obey the Bible rather than the law of man, if you are a Christian.
Who can make a law? Answer in short, no man has the authority to make any law that is not in the Bible. The Bible is very clear on who is to make laws in Isaiah 33:22 and the answer is not man. Mans motive for making laws that are unbiblical in nature and are in the interest of them making money, gaining power, or influence from it. Most of the time these laws are victimless crimes and are for generating fines or for someone making money by imprisoning others. I wouldn't expect to many Godly laws to be around in the future, as Obama, or Barry Soetoro as he is known by the ruling class of the planet has told us at the beginning of his first term that "We are no longer a Christian Nation." At least he is honest enough to let us know from which direction the rules and laws of the Nation are coming from.
Law breaking is a very broad subject that can cover many posts. For the sake of brevity, I will leave you with this fact;
Any law that contradicts the Bible is not a law!
