what? seems to me they are a call to "loyalty to God?"

At first glance, Thoreau's ideas makes good sense. However; it's important
to take into account he refused to acknowledge the dictates of a supreme
being whose commandments, laws, rules, statutes, and edicts take priority
over all other forms of government.

Thoreau's concept of civil disobedience foments anarchy which, according to
Rom 13:1-5 and 1Pet 2:13-15, is strictly forbidden for Christ's followers.

ah, i'm out of my depth there, won't lie, but imo anarchy is being conflated with chaos, as i see that the State has successfully managed to install now, for the definition of "anarchy," which 1Sam8 will instruct anyone that God wants anarchists. Chaos agents would be different though, yes.

Take for example the dilemma wherein ordained Christian ministers find
themselves in Muslim countries where it's illegal to preach Christ and/or
teach the Bible.

According to Matt 28:18-20, and the pastoral epistles of 1&2 Timothy, Titus,
and to some degree 1Peter, ordained Christian ministers are required by
God to do just exactly what the laws of those countries forbid them to do.

Well; when an ordained Christian minister in one of those Muslim countries
complies with God's requirements over and above the State's-- i.e.
preaches Christ and/or teaches the Bible --he's not an anarchist in the true
sense of the word. You see; anarchists are a law unto themselves; whereas
ordained Christian ministers are not like that. They accept that the State has a
God-given right to control their lives; and at the same time they accept that the
the supreme being has the right to some say in their lives too.
