Rebellion (Deut. 9:23)

Rebellion is intentional and not accidental.  It never "just happens."  Rebellion means refusal. It is a refusal to believe and to listen. Thus, rebellion is always a choice. That choice is self-will, human alternative, the opposite of what God intended or commanded.

By rebelling against human authority, the defiant one has rebelled against God.  Exception:  when human authority asks you to do something illegal, immoral or unbiblical.
