The Fourth Cup by Scott Hahn really drove this home for me.
I’ll have to look into that!
This makes sense to me. I believe that God is an anarchist when it comes to man dealing with man. Granted, I'm not will enough learned in the Bible to be able to back this up. It's just a hunch.
Well, maybe you’ll have to join us in reading the Bible, then! nostr:note13gqlvkrxjpjg3jvw670u2n38xj65428nfx8kquxhdk7nsft6n4qqqh8pyj
Are y’all mostly reading the New Testament or the old too?
Gonna be the whole thing. My concept is to start in the New but frequently refer back to the Old as we go along to give context.
Ooooo sounds neat 👀
I’ll let you know when it’s happening! Any preference to consider?
Nope! I just love the language of scripture 🤷♀️

In what context is he referring to a “Christian empire?”
Empire with Christianese characteristics. Using the power of the world to dominate others “for Christ,” perverting everything.
Interesting…kind of the exact opposite of humble and meek.
This shelf in my library goes into great depth on the topic of the ecclesia (church) as God's decentralized governance structure: https://peakd.com/library/@creatr/the-kingdom-of-jesus-god-the-heavens-my-library-shelf
We need a Christian ethnostate
