Show Notes

Christian anarchism isn’t unbiblical.

You and I, as Christian anarchists, are unfairly criticized as unbiblical, but there’s one crucial point on our side:

Government has no definition.

Some say it protects, some say it provides, some say it only exists to punish and reward, but one thing is for sure: however many people you ask, that’s how many explanations you’ll get for what a “government” actually is. Without a clear definition for who rules over us, it’s hard to say we’re acting unbiblically.

In the second part of this two-part series, Nick continues on after covering Romans 13 last week. This week, we talk about what a government may or may not be, and how that can help us get closer to a biblical view of it.
