To Cheryl (comment # 18);

I will answer all of your questions with a sim

– If two christians are in genuine dispute over the correct course of action on a matter and are unable to come to an agreement, what course should they choose?

Perhaps to be more pointed – let us say that two christian’s are both serving in the coast guard and are in disagreement over the best course of action to take. The higher rank gives an order than the lower rank does not think is the best idea. Should the lower ranking officer follow the order (as is required by their relationship as officers in the coast guard) or does their relationship as christians change this? Or when a father tells his son something that his son disagrees with – does this mean that the son is free to disobey his father? (that would certainly change my perspective on some rebellious actions of my teenage years…)

No.
Despite our overriding imperatives to act as christians at all times, this does not negate that we are also related by other relationships that apply additional constraints on the proper conduct in these interactions.
