Christian anarchists? why not...

Just something I've been thinking about lately. Wondering why Christians aren't also anarchists? Think of this more as a prelude to further discussion on the topic, because I wasn't really trying to make an argument or generate discussion here. I just think it's odd that at the same time I hear the argument that the freedom that God provides is wonderful, but that same freedom shouldn't extend to government. I understand that there are a lot of problems with this line of reasoning, and want to dive into those later on.

That's because the majority of Chistians follow the "Constantine Christianity". As for me no king but Christ

Good point but you are thinking of Neo-con Christians and not those who believe only in what Christ says and conversely think that the government is evil.

I think it is interesting how many people are bashed now for even mentioning the word 'Jesus' and ridiculed but fail to see that their neo-con masters have brought this about.

If more 'Christians' woke up to what is happening globally and realized prophecy (i.e microchips instead of money) is happening, they'd soon become anarchists, I bet.

True Christians are Anarchists

"We must obey God as ruler rather than men" (Acts 4:19, 5:29, 1 Corinthians 6:1-6)

Luke 22:25, which says: "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over the people; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves ‘Benefactors.’ But you are not to be like that

P.S. To the person who claimed taxes pay for heat lights etc. only if you are on welfare you pay your own bills to corporate scum who own half of the country.

Christian Anarchist- Jesus saves

Another Christian Anarchist checking in. I'm working on educating my church and my friends on Facebook and the like. The problem is is that most Christians in America grow up as Christians and they get taught things that aren't biblical but then get trained to twist scripture to match a preconceived idea and that leads to some REALLY crazy cognitive dissonance. The government has very successfully co-opted the American church and it's truly sad. Some people are starting to wake up though.

Dude. Jacque Ellul, Leo Tolstoy (the guy who wrote war and peace) even Woody Guthrie...All Christian anarchists. Old news mang.

I am a Christian anarchist.. what's up? :)

@AuntieDiluvian Taxes pay for things which anarchists enjoy. Heat! Electricity! Roads! Schools! Post offices! Health care! etc., etc.

Anarchists are free to leave human society if they so wish, but that means they will have to kill their own food and make their own clothes.

BTW: 3:10-22

Oh snap. lol You make a good point, though. It's very twisted, isn't it?

All right, I'm done commenting. I just really liked this video. :D

Also... as far as God giving us free will to choose between good and evil... I mean, that goes back to Adam and Eve. They lived in total innocence, away from any perversion of good (evil). They disobeyed and then knew evil through the tree of knowledge. If anything, it was through disobedience of God that we can now know two roads, one leading to hell and another heaven. I don't think that's wonderful, but what I do find wonderful is God being patient and wanting us to live and repent of evil.
