Government is a tool of hell, so makes sense Jesus would be an anarchist. Non-compliance is the way.
5 downvotes? FU glowie shills. You work for satan.
That's like saying guns are evil. Goverments of some form are necessary to prevent anarchy. Guns can be used for evil, and so can governments, but that does not make them intrinsically or inherently evil.
In a Bible based conversation your point is in every way shape and form wrong.
To say that God needs man to control other men, is directly calling God ineffective and a liar (Impossibility). In fact, God makes clear in the period of Judges that it doesn't matter if a man rules you or not, you should only be focused on God. You should not be seeking the rule of the fallible due to your fear. Does a bird seek to invent long term storage for the winter? No, it is taken care of as the Lord intended it to be taken care of, until the time the Lord says it's complete.
If you are focused on God, what point is there for a stand-in such as law or government? There isn't one, and to hedge your bets saying "But my adversary will send people over to attack me or take advantage of me in trade if I don't have rules and force" is to show a distinct lack of faith in God and what he wants from us and for us (From the mouths of His prophets)
The inherent evil to everything is internal to man, and lack of faith allows this evil to take hold via it's normal routes (Various sins). One's lack of faith that God has you covered is why a government exists in the first place (Please protect me, please store food for me, please simplify the life I was given by the Lord), can it be run well? Sure, until it's not run well. It will collapse eventually as all man-made things. There will be death, there will be pain, there will be destruction, and you will have chosen a side labeled "Good" or "Bad" and make arguments about killing and death and guns, but all of that stems from humanities lack of faith in the Lord taking care of them in the first place.
No government only works if ALL men follow the 10 commandments and are faithful to God. That is not the case and will never be the case in this world due to original sin and the depravity of man. In the mean-time, there needs to be a method to the madness, to fairly distribute property, to defend property rights, to punish criminals, to define borders. Governments are necessary, even if a necessary evil. The condition of all men being Christian and faithful to the commandments will not be met in this life, only in the life to come.
Original Sin - The Sin so great that Jesus couldn't die for it?
Why does every man need to be Christian and Faithful for me to be? Why should I fear those men?
Why should I need a government if I trust my God will take care of me and expect nothing from anyone else?
Why should I need a government if the worst thing anyone can do to me is kill me or mine, but my God has already conquered death?
Your lack of faith selfishly entraps others to be required to support your system, your fear requires other people accept your answer because you claim to understand the hearts of men. You obviously do not, because you don't understand that I lack fear in my heart and have no need for governing or laws of man. Therefore the only thing that can be said for your argument is that it is misguided at best, but really just a push to have your team in charge doing what you think is right. Your own personal jesus.
Governments are necessary for faithless cowards who do not follow God. If anyone chooses government they are choosing the rule of man.
If all men were angels we wouldn't have free will. God gave us free will, we are not angels, it isn't his intent, this makes the statement of "if all men were angels, there would be no need for laws" the babbling of a faithless man because if all men were angels all men wouldn't be what God created them to be in His image. It's a literal impossibility to further get you to suckle at them instead of the Lord.
Enjoy your nonsense task of dividing up God's footstool as you see fit though.
Government has brainwashed you into thinking they are necessary. Try going without for a few years and I bet you agree with me, government is evil.
Governments immediately seek to gain power. Every inch you give them, they reach for more power and more of your money.
Guns in the hands of government are evil. Because government is evil.
Guns in the hands of good people are good, because you can use them to push back the evil government.
#1 cause of death on planet earth = government. It's called democide.
...and that is not counting war, which of course is caused by government.
I've been on this planet for half a century and in my experience, government has been nothing but a hindrance to the pursuit of happiness.
Government is evil. Prove me wrong.
Go out and live alone with the prairie dogs.
That sounds like cognitive dissonance. Government has your mind. Free yourself.
Humanity never needed government. Government has been feeding off humanity from the beginning, like an evil leech.
