Christians leaders are warning of civil disobedience if the Supreme Court legalizes same sex marriage.

This was the warning from Mat Staver, the founder of the Liberty Counsel and co-author of the Pledge in Solidarity to Defend Marriage, a statement which seeks to emphasize the position of individuals across differing faith perspectives to protect the sanctity of marriage.

In an interview with FoxNews, Staver did not mince words when he elaborated on what religious leaders meant when they drafted the pledge.

“Yes, I’m talking about civil disobedience. I’m talking about resistance and I’m talking about peaceful resistance against unjust laws and unjust rulings.We’re sending a warning to the Supreme Court and frankly any court that crosses the line on the issue of marriage,” he said.

A portion of the pledge stated: “Our highest respect for the rule of law requires that we not respect an unjust law that directly conflicts with higher law. A decision purporting to redefine marriage flies in the face of the Constitution and is contrary to the natural created order. As people of faith we pledge obedience to our Creator when the State directly conflicts with higher law. We respectfully warn the Supreme Court not to cross this line.”
