Your first sentence here seems to be a simple, and pejorative, direct quote from a dictionary. At least Wiki takes us a little beyond that. Anarchism opposed Marxism during the 19th century, and is continued to be studied as a recognisable political ideology at tertiary education levels in political science courses. All politicians should know about it, but along with the ignorant media and general public the word anarchy is only used by them pejoratively, for obvious reasons."Anarchy" and "anarchism"mean the LACK of any kind of civil structure, government, and law. If you try to set up a biblical theocracy, you do NOT have anarchy. Anarchy is lawlessness, something repeatedly condemned in the bible. Not having leadership "sheep without a shepherd" was considered a CURSE.
Actually I said "Theocracy," not "Theodicy."You use the phrase biblical theodicy and you seem to imply theodicy is a form of government. Theodicy is the philosophical, and theological, discussion of the problem of evil, no form of government need enter into the discussion.
Hi everybody !
I would like to open a thread about a politcal theory that i love, this is for know some other christian opinion about Christian Anarchism. If you don't know this political philosophy i put HERE the wikipedia's link for give you an introduction.
What do you think about that ? Do you think a country only ruled by the holy law can exist and work ? let me know your point of view, it will be a pleasure for me to read and talk about that.

No, when the people follow the bible rather than using it to gain
control over others, it leads to prosperity and great advances in
the sciences and the arts. This is why the USA has been a world
leader in all ways since its creation. And why it is falling now.
...the above seems like a lot of definitions/rules for a group that doesn't believe in a lot of rules/definitions.

@Yahkov. Thank you for your informative posts but they have little to do with Christian Anarchism, I think. I say again, CA is not a theocracy, which is a form of human government. I am no longer associating myself with the label of being a Christian Anarchist, but I remain privately interested with my wife, and God of course (where two or more are gathered......), seeing it as the best representative theology of true Christianity. Attach a label in this world and it soon becomes corrupted. I try to be a member of the universal church of Christ, with no institutional authority or established or denominational Church.
@Aquila0121. Excellent posts again, I guess all we can do is wait for the Second Coming of Christ. Fairly recently I have read about intentional communities. I am old now, but if I had heard about them in my early 20's I would have attempted to join one, where they pooled their resources and lived below the tax threshold of the country in which they had settled.
I have played with the idea of anarchism in my political framework and in terms of the achieving the millenium, as it is essentially stateless from the framwork of functioning nationstates today as in I would seek their absence. However, I still recognize a state as such, that of God's Kingdom which is not yet of this world, Christ's law will rule this world for the Millenium (I'm not yet decided if that's a literall 1,000 years or not)before the tribulation.Hi everybody !
