U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio says the Supreme Court’s rulings on marriage equality and abortion rights are “not settled law” and that government officials should “ignore” the rulings if they believe they conflict with “God’s rules.”

The GOP presidential contender made the remarks in an interview Wednesday with the Christian Broadcasting Network, reports Right Wing Watch.

“We are clearly called, in the Bible, to adhere to our civil authorities, but that conflicts with also a requirement to adhere to God’s rules,” he said. “When those two come in conflict, God’s rules always win. In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin, violate God’s law and sin, if we’re ordered to stop preaching the gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that. We cannot abide by that because government is compelling us to sin.”
