So I googled verses on violating the law Romans 13:1-7 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. Titus 3:1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work BUT Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. So yeah. The Bible says that we should follow God first, and then men, basically. If at all following mens laws would violate Gods law then Gods law goes above it. However, since being a marriage licensor isn't a position of authority, I would have just quit my job, cus its avoidable to violate authority like that. If possible you should try to avoid breaking anyone's rules. The Bible says plenty about lying, and if you can avoid lying to people while practicing your faith then that's the best route. What every licensor should do is talk to their manager or whoever they are and say they can't issue gay marriage licenses because it violates their faith. At best scenario they might work out that if a gay couple comes in that licensor will ask someone else who is willing to do it, so they technically would not be approving the marriage but they kepp their job.
