Can one be an Anarchist and a Christian?

[Harold Law]

Is it possible to revoke every government except gods alone? It says in Matthew that all governments are created by Satan, it only seems right to fight them.

Re: Can one be an Anarchist and a Christian?

If you are going to make a claim like that, I'm afraid you are going to have to cite the chapter and verse. I don't remember reading anything like that in the book of Matthew.

On the contrary, Dante Scritic, the Bible tells us that we are to obey the government.

1st Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1st Peter 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1st Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Re: Can one be an Anarchist and a Christian?

The classic passage in which Jesus forbids us to be "archists" (and thereby commands us to be "anarchists") is Mark 10:42-45

The word translated "rulers" comes from the Greek word from which we derive our word "anarchist." Jesus clearly says His followers are not to be "archists," and that means we are to be "an-archists." In fact, God hates archists

In the Bible, archists are bad. Jesus says we are not to be archists, and He says the opposite of an archist is a servant.
I strive to be a servant, not an archist.
All the other character traits listed at left are examples of service. They are manifestations of a servant's heart. Anyone committed to those character traits will not seize your money to buy bombs, assassinate political opponents, or deprive you of your life, liberty, property, or pursuit of happiness.

Um, no.

See, this is what happens when the Godless read the Bible without guidance from a Pastor or from God.

Mark 10:42-45

42But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

43But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

44And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

This is Jesus telling his apostles to take care of each other, and not to seek (or, more realistically, battle for) a leadership position within the group. This has nothing whatsoever to do with government, and everything to do with maintaining group cohesion.

As Pastor Billy-Reuben has pointed out (and you have conveniently ignored), GOD tells us through Peter in the Bible to be subject to the governments HE has placed over US. Maybe you can "interpret" that to mean that God hates government, but I'm not seeing it.

I realize you find the sound of your own gums flapping in the breeze as you attempt to demonstrate your intellectual superiority quite enticing. Sadly, it's only so much cow bell to those of us who choose to Listen instead of straining to hear.

The government has never done gods will, only the will of those in charge. Jesus tells us that his fathers kingdom is "Not of this world" therefore any kingdom you support in this world is in direct contradiction with gods word! Perhaps if you Baptists weren't so busy watching your TV Evangelists and buying silver watches you would begin to understand that government contradicts every commandment! Praise Jesus!

God has instructed us ("us" includes YOU) to be subject to the governments HE has appointed over us. What part of that don't you understand? GOD appoints the governments. It is up to HIM to decide who rules, not YOU. It is not up to YOU to overthrow the government GOD has created!

Were we to join you in your anarchist crusade, we would then be disobeying God's Word.

You're a Paultard, aren't you? Why don't you hop into the Paultardis and take your silly little "quest" to a Ron Paul forum, and stop interfering with God's Work?

Care to explain how you made this jump in "logic"?

Honestly, I am so tired of you morons who have seen "The Devil's Advocate" one too many times. Look, you live in a Christian nation for God's sake. Quite complaining about the establishment! C'mon, our president is so goddam religious we can't even kill babies for stem cell research. People like you should have forced shock therapy with the volts cranked up to about 50 million.

Psh! I ain't no John Smith worshipper they can all burn in hell with their one hundred wives for all I care! Though I still refuse to see how my political beliefs, just as long as I have faith in Jesus Christ our lord could possibly send me to the lake of mormon.... err fire.

Ok, I'm gonna explain something to you about computers, you sound like a dumbass so try to keep up. In the computer world there are things called "macros". On this forum there is a macro that takes the word "m o r o n" and turns it into mormon. This is to show that they are synonomous, since the implications of the changed sentances are usually the same. It took me all of five seconds to figure this out when I first joined this forum. Plus the founder of the mormon church was named joseph smith not john smith.

Son, have you ever tried reading the entire Bible cover to cover? If you did, you would see how deep in sin you are, how filthy your soul looks to Jesus, and what you need to do in order to avoid an etrnity in hellfire.

Don't try taking one or two verses out of context to justify your commie foolishness.

President Bush was hand-picked by Jesus to lead us in the War on Terror. I mean what could be more obvious? He lost the election and yet became president. How can you question Christ's Divine Plan©?

There are no anarchists in Heaven, I assure you.

dantescritic is obviously both a Mormon and a dumbass (acutally, that's kind of redundant). Then again, you're a pussy, so who are you to criticize? Anyway, there's no editing script: Moron, moron, moron, moron, moron, moron. See?
