What is the relationship between the Church, the Law, and the Government? Who established their authority, what responsibilities were they given, and what happens when their authority conflicts? Is the Church subject to the government, is the government subject to the Law of YeHoVaH, or are these institutions intended to operate independently of one another? These questions are essential to understanding the role of the Church Yeshua declared He would build, the authority of the Commandments of YeHoVaH, and the responsibilities of earthly governments.

This teaching, The Church, The Law and The Government, examines the biblical origins, purposes, responsibilities, and limitations of these three spheres of authority; explores the distinction between the Law of YeHoVaH and the laws of men; examines the differences between the Kingdom of God and earthly governments; and describes the responsibilities of Believers when religious traditions or governmental requirements conflict with the Commandments of YeHoVaH.

When the Commandments of YeHoVaH and the laws of men conflict, whose authority comes first? Arthur Bailey teaches that the governments of men have their place and role in the earth, but they have no authority over the government of YeHoVaH. In the Kingdom of God, authority originates with YeHoVaH. In earthly governments, it is exercised through human institutions and human officials. When the Commandments of YeHoVaH, the traditions of religious institutions, and the requirements of earthly governments come into conflict, whose authority will govern your life? Nearly two thousand years ago when the Apostles were commanded to stop teaching in Yeshua's name, they answered that question by saying they ought to obey God rather than men.
