Have you ever broke the rules? I have in my younger days.
 
I have as well, but thankfully not in a big way, or a way that really matters.

Now here's a question for you: Since Jesus told us to obey the authorities and submit to them, should we then submit to the authorities if, for instance in China they make Bible illegal. Should we provide bibles to people in China? It's against the law in China to smuggle bibles into China, but as Christians we are commanded to spread the Word. What do we do in this situation?

Aren't we supposed to follow the law of the land as long as it doesn't go against scripture? Even back in Biblical times, God ordered preaching to places where Christianity was pretty much banned. Paul didn't want to go to Rome because he felt that Jesus would not be accepted yet God told him to go. I don't believe it is wrong to smuggle Bibles into China.

I agree.

Although to those non-Christians who believe that Christians are supposed to be 'good', it could seem a contridiction. Not that that should stop us; just pointing it out.
