Q: Is this a case of obeying authorities when it doesn't conflict with God's law? Yes. If not going to church were sinful, defy the order. But missing a season of gathering isn't forsaking fellowship — people hospitalized for a month aren't forsaking fellowship either. The principle is proportionate and temporary.

Q&A — obeying authority and church attendance

Hebrews 10:25 ("not forsaking the assembling") doesn't mean you can never miss church. Hospitalized Christians aren't forsaking fellowship. Missing a month due to medical precautions is not the same as permanently abandoning church. The quarantine is temporary and medical, not a prohibition against Christianity.
