RE: Why I Think God Is An Anarchist

in #anarchy8 years ago (edited)

Wow, you got a lot of that right!
Some fine points:

God does indeed want to have creatures who choose Him of their own free will. But that implies that some of them are free to choose otherwise. So this world is a place where mere creatures with the potential to become God's children get to choose whether they want to become God's children.

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God — children born not of blood, nor will of the flesh, nor will of man, but born of God.… John 1:11-13

Of course, Jesus is also the King of Kings and Owner of all Creation. Those titles imply order and hierarchy, not anarchy. God wants loyal, faithful children who he can trust to serve in His government over all creation. Rebels need not apply.

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' -- Matthew 25:23
