Anarchy is not about that. It is about individuals being led by no government other than God. That is not a scriptural principle. God tells us we must obey the government in all things that are not sinful. No where does Christ ever hint that believers should agitate against their government.

The ultimate goal (which should be the same for all Christians) would be to bring others to Christ by example and by evangelism (never by legislation). I can agree with this. Still, in a democracy we are sometimes asked to vote on "moral" issues.
quote:
Anarchists understand that their ideal society (not that what that is could be universally agreed on) could not be implemented overnight. It would be disastrous. It is a goal to be worked toward. Whatever your goal is it has nothing to do with what is taught in Scripture. Christ does not call us to change the government of the country we live in even if that government is a dictatorship.
