I read the FB site a bit. I don't really understand exactly everything they are promoting, but I think I get the gist of it.
Basically I think it is the model of government they object to. It looks like maybe they idealize and hope for the kind of society that can only happen under the reign of Christ. His Kingdom is not yet come though. Right now we have sin, we have imperfect men in charge, and no government or legal system set in place by men will ever be perfect. This much is true. But as much as we might want the world to be as Christ would rule, that isn't going to happen until Christ returns.
In the meantime, we pray for our leaders. If we are privileged to vote, we vote our Christian conscience. We do whatever God sets before us to do to make things as good as possible.
"Christian anarchists" is kind of a contradiction though. Christ told us to obey our leaders who are in authority over us, as long as they don't contradict God. We are supposed to obey laws and pay taxes. To promote the opposite in the name of Christ is not following Christ's words.
If we are not careful, we can become confused listening to the wrong voices.
