My only disagreement is that the kingdom of God is primarily in our hearts, and in that voluntary association called the church--it is not to take up nor decide civil matters. Its powers are spiritual and declarative, not civil. There will come a day, after Christ's bodily return, when the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdom of Christ -- in a very real, geopolitical sense -- that until he returns, that is not a goal of the church. But as I've said...we've already been on about this one before. No harm, no foul, we're still bros either way. Probably just another post-mil / a-mil thing.
For the church to replace the civil powers even at the local level is effectively to take over its function, and that's not for us to do. That's all I mean. We're meant to be 'not of' the world (on this we agree) but also 'in the world' (on this perhaps we do not). Duncan's an online bud so there's no real beef here :-)
I predict a new trending hairstyle for libertarians incoming...
If you read the New Testament through the right "pair of glasses," i.e. *without* all the accumulated filtering barnacles of centuries of tradition and prejudicial English translations, it becomes apparent that the ecclesia (church) itself is the answer to statism:

The ecclesia (a Greek word meaning "assembly") is quite literally God's intended replacement for local city government.
I don't agree with you on this, but we've already been over that. We are pilgirms and exiles, in the world but not of it, not in the world and taking over the world. Here we have no continuing city, etc. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
R. C. Sproul: "What do you think is the greatest threat to the church in the 21st century?"
Francis Schaeffer: "Statism."
Prophetic.

I say this because Scripture reveals the ways of God to man--at least all that we are currently allowed to know (Deut. 29:29). But who knows what drives a woman from one moment to the next? Whence the variability? I don't mean this as criticism. They are truly a wonder.
Even God and his ways are less of a mystery than woman.
"No signal" flashing today lol

my #umbrel loses connection constantly. connection is even wired. happens every few days. It's headless, so I have to do a hard reset. Very annoying. tried a 'keep-alive' script, but evidently it doesn't work. not happy.
