According to a number of commentators, "obey" isn't quite the right translation from Greek. It's more a sense of "comply to maintain peace." And yes, their laws cannot compelmus to violate God's laws.

Sort:  

That is a distinction without much of a difference, simply because "comply" is gentler, but still assumes active acquiescence to authority. One cannot get around that ... unless said authority presumes to contradict God, at which point compliance and obedience are both off the table.
