Why you should become a Bible-believing anarchist

The word "Theocracy" comes from two Greek words meaning "God governs," or "God rules."
We're usually told "theocracy" means "government by clergy." Wrong. That would be "ecclesiocracy," from the Greek word ekklesia, which is usually translated "church" in the New Testament.
God "rules" over the society that obeys God's rules (commandments).
The creature must obey the Creator. Jesus is the Creator.
All things were made by Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:3; see also John 1:10; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:2,10
Our Creator is our only real Lord, our only real King, our only real God.
For the LORD is our Judge,
The LORD is our Lawgiver,
The LORD is our King;
He will save us
Isaiah 33:22
Jesus is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and the God of gods. All creaturely kings and all creaturely lords and all creaturely gods (whether human or demonic) are false gods, false lords, and false kings. Trump is a false king. Moloch was a false god. ("Moloch" means "king.") No creature is a legitimate king or lord.
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
1 Corinthians 8:5
Our Creator, Jesus, is the only lord, god, king we should worship and serve. Not like evolutionists,
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen
Romans 1:25
According to the Bible, "Civil Government" is a false god. Serving a false god is "idolatry." Archism -- being a government, or voting for a government -- is idolatry.
"Theocracy" is the flip-side of "Christian anarchism." To say "God governs" is to say "the Creator governs, not any created being." "Theocracy" in a Christian sense means "no mere man is an archist."
"Fundamentalism" is the individual granting authority to God and His Word. "Theocracy" is a society coming under the authority of God and His Word, and repudiating theft, kidnapping, and murder (archism). A Biblically consistent Theocracy is an "Anarcho-Theocracy."

What does "anarcho-creationism" look like? In a word, "paradise." In another word, "utopia." I became an "anarcho-creationist" by reading the Bible and the works of R. J. Rushdoony. He was a creationist, and was instrumental in launching the modern "creation science" movement, and he was highly critical of atheistic government and statism (worship of the State). He despised the term "anarchism," and never used the term "anarcho-creationism." Rushdoony wrote the following:

"Theonomy" comes from two Greek words meaning "God's Law." When I said "Anarcho-Theocracy" above, I could have just as accurately said "Anarcho-Theonomy." I should probably add the word "Theonomy" to my list of "four hated words" above. Most church-goers hate the word "Theonomy" (if they've even heard of it).
Some people say "utopia" is impossible. They say the English word comes from two Greek words, "ou" meaning "not," and "topos" meaning "land" or "place" (as in "topographic map"). But the author usually given credit for inventing the word "utopia," Thomas More, said that his term was derived from the Greek eu-, "good," not ou-, "not" -- a "good place," not a place that does not or cannot exist:
“Wherfore not Utopie, but rather rightely my name is Eutopie, a place of felicitie.”
More’s Utopia: The English Translation thereof by Raphe Robynson, printed from the second edition, 1556 page 171
The Bible says the world was created "good," but Adam rebelled against his Creator, heeding the temptation "Ye shall be as gods" (Genesis 3:5), that is, "You can become an archist."
But Jesus Christ became the second Adam, the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45), restoring mankind to the position we enjoyed in the Garden of Eden, in fellowship with our Creator, and commissioned to exercise dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28) as stewards, not archists.
If you're interested in utopia and paradise, I would like to present what I believe is a compelling case for "anarcho-creationism."
If you're skeptical about the claims of Emperors, Pharaohs, Caesars, Führers, bureaucrats, and everyone who is not a member of your own political party, and wonder what a society would look like by tossing all the books in the "law library" -- all the regulations, statutes, and judicial rulings -- and replacing them all with God's Law, the Bible, I would like to present what I believe is a compelling case for "anarcho-creationism."
John Adams did not seriously entertain the idea of replacing all government statutes and regulations with the Bible alone. He knew that would be "anarchy." Adams was just praising the Bible using hyperbole. But "Anarchy" -- that is, statelessness -- is the logical conclusion of what Adams was saying. The logical conclusion of basing a society solely on the Bible (Theonomy) is that other hated word: "Theocracy." "God governs."
To repeat, "Theocracy" does not mean "clergymen govern." That would be "ecclesiocracy." God governed Israel before Israel rejected God in 1 Samuel 8 and wanted archists "like all the nations" instead of God as their King.
Benjamin Franklin explained what "Theocracy" meant, commenting on the Lord's Prayer where it says:
Thy Kingdom come.
This Petition seems suited to the then Condition of the Jewish Nation. Originally their State was a Theocracy: God was their King. Dissatisfied with that kind of Government, they desired a visible earthly King in the manner of the Nations round them. They had such kings accordingly; but their Happiness was not increas’d by the Change, and they had reason to wish and pray for a Return of the Theocracy, or Government of God. Christians in these Times have other Ideas when they speak of the Kingdom of God, such as are perhaps more adequately express’d byThy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
More explicitly,May thy Laws be obeyed on Earth as perfectly as they are in Heaven.
Here's an interesting quote from John Adams, from a letter to F.A. Van der Kemp, February 16, 1809:
We may be reduced to hard Necessities. The two most powerful active and enterprizing Nations that ever existed [Britain and France] are now contending with Us. The two Nations to whom Mankind are under more obligations for the Progress of Science and Civilization, than to any others except the Hebrews. This consideration affects me more than the danger from either or both. I excepted the Hebrews, for in Spight of Bolingbroke and Voltaire I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize Men than any other Nation. If I were an Atheist and believed in blind eternal Fate, I should Still believe that Fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential Instrument for civilizing the Nations. If I were an Atheist of the other Sect, who believe or pretend to believe that all is ordered by Chance, I Should believe that Chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate, to all Mankind the Doctrine of a Supreme intelligent wise, almighty Sovereign of the Universe, which I believe to be the great essential Principle of all Morality and consequently of all Civilization. I cant Say that I love the Jews very much neither. Nor the French nor the English nor the Romans nor the Greeks. We must love all Nations as well as We can, but it is very hard to love most of them.
Our Medium is depreciated by the Multitude of Swindling Banks which have emitted bank Bills to an immense amount beyond the Deposits of Gold and Silver in their Vaults, by which means the Price of Labour and Land and Merchandize and Produce is doubled, tribled and quadrupled in many Instances. Every dollar of a bank Bill that is issued beyond the quantity of Gold and Silver in the Vaults represents nothing and is therefore a cheat upon Somebody.
Like Voltaire, our government today hates the God of the Hebrews and loves inflation. Sadly, it wasn't "the Jews" who gave us civilization, it was their God and the Scriptures. The Hebrews rejected God and His Theocracy (1 Samuel 8:7), and God rejected those who rejected His law (Matthew 5:19; Matthew 21:43), including His laws against inflation (Isaiah 1:22; Leviticus 19:35–36, etc.). The source of civilization is not the Hebrews themselves, but the Scriptures which record their faithlessness and provide us with a blueprint to create a Creationist Anarcho-Theocracy.
In a letter from John Adams, 11 October 1798, Adams said
"We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
The U.S. Constitution provided for a very limited government. Adams could have said “Our Constitution was made only for a Theocracy." When the Founders referred to the nation as being ‘under God,’ they did not envision an ecclesiocracy — rule by clergymen — but rather affirmed the older Biblical notion of a Theocracy: rule by God Himself, as Israel experienced before the monarchy. For them, God’s moral law was supreme over both church and state, but neither clergy nor magistrates stood in His place.
Jesus said there is only one Lord, and the greatest command is worshiping and serving the true God, Creator, alone (Mark 12:29-30): Jesus does not contradict this command when he commands us to be pacifists, to bless those who persecute us, and serve our government conquerors as though we were serving Christ Himself.
Colossians 3:22
Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.Ephesians 6:5-8
5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.1 Peter 2:18-19 (Wycliffe Bible)
18 Servants, be ye subject in all dread to lords, not only to good and to mild, but also to tyrants.
19 Forsooth this is grace, if for conscience of God any man suffereth sorrows, or heavinesses, suffering unjustly.]
This is part of what Jesus spoke of in reference to the second greatest commandment, loving one's neighbor. Christians should not be put to death as "tax-resisters" or violent revolutionaries. They should be put to death for treason
From the evolutionary perspective, MAN is god. In an evolutionist Theocracy, the most highly-evolved creature rules. The most highly-evolved entity is the "fittest" for "survival." The "fittest" is the most powerful. And the most powerful creature usually is "The State." As Hegel put it, "The State is god walking on earth."
The Bible says God "blesses" -- allows to "survive" -- those who obey His prescriptions. God prescribes Theonomic service rather than autonomous "survival."
Evolution denies this. The "fittest" empire survives. War is the ultimate morality.
The most common objection to Christian Anarcho-Theocracy is either
Nobody in 1776 believed in "secular [non-theistic] government." America's Founders tragically believed that God required human beings to form "civil governments," and forming and maintaining a civil government was a religious obligation.
America was once a "Christocracy." Benjamin Rush signed the Declaration of Independence and served in the Presidential administrations of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison -- each of whom came from a different political party. And of what party was Rush?
I have been alternately called an aristocrat and a democrat. I am now neither. I am a Christocrat. I believe all power. . . will always fail of producing order and happiness in the hands of man. He alone Who created and redeemed man is qualified to govern him.
The modern cult of Materialistic Scientism will not allow the Bible to be taught in state-run schools the way Benjamin Rush would teach it. The Declaration of Independence (America's "birth certificate") is a Theocratic document. It is currently illegal to teach students in a public school that the Declaration of Independence is actually true. America was a Christian nation. (If any "nation" can be "Christian.")
Nobody living through the Trump-Biden regime believes in Fundamentalist Anarcho-Christocracy (except me, it seems).
During the coronavirus "pandemic," mask- and lockdown-dissidents were told to shut up, "listen to the Science" and get in line.
"Listen to the Science" actually means "Listen to my preferred or socially dominant cult of Scientism." There are many cults that make up the religion of Scientism, with one cult culturally dominant for a while, then another cult (or multiple cults) replacing it. In our day, the coronavirus cult is one of the dominant cults of Scientism. Also the environmentalist cult.
The vast majority of us attended parochial schools sponsored by the archist cult of Scientism.
We've been brainwashed by atheist (Christocracy-denying) archist fundamentalists to reject the Bible.
One of the biggest obstacles to a fundamentalist acceptance of the Bible as the Word of God is the issue of "Evolution vs. Creation." This is just "creature-ism vs. Creator-ism" (Romans 1:25).
Evolutionists and "archists" will say that teaching creationism in public schools violates "the separation of church and state." Not a single person who signed the Constitution would have agreed with that claim. Not a single one of America's Founding Fathers intended to give the Federal Government power to prohibit a school teacher in a government-run school from teaching students:
From a consistent Christian perspective, the modern atheistic doctrine of "separation of church and state" is insanity. And 13,000 hours of atheistic education has taught you that such a claim is insanity. Here's more "insanity" for you:
America was originally a Christian Theocracy, and the U.S. Constitution of 1789 did not change that.
"Theocracy?!?" you say.
Like the word "anarchist," this is another word you've been lied to about. The word "Theocracy" comes from two Greek words meaning "God + governs." In a "Theocracy," God is "over" the government. Another way to say "Theocracy" is to say the nation is "Under God." That's America. A Christian Theocracy.
How many times in your 13,000-hour atheist education did you hear about how bad "Theocracy" is?
To be sure, a government by priests or clergymen would be a bad thing, but the word for that dreadful situation is "ecclesiocracy," from the Greek word usually translated "church" in the New Testament. "Theocracy" means "God governs," not human "archists." True Christian Theocracy is Anarcho-Theocracy.
Not something you were taught in your atheistic ("secular") schools, I would wager.
