Anarchy has various definitions: 1) no rulership or enforced authority. 2) Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to absence or inefficiency of a supreme political power or political disorder. 3) A social state in which there is no governing person or group of peaople but each person has absolute liberty. 4) Absence or non regognition of authority in any given sphere.
I have heard the concept that government is a "neccesary evil." Governemnt provides peace and tranquility for citizens to prosper. Without government human society will be in chaos and that right "makes might will be the governing principle."
I disagree! I prescribe to the third concept of anarchy; my perspective is Christain Anarchy.
Humanity is inherntly good; divine authority states that when God created man he saw humanity as good. The divinity of humanity becomes corrupted by outside forces. (not submitting to the will of God.) The individual does and does not have the power to thrawt those external forces.
For instance, God gave Adam the right to eat of every tree. God did not give Adam the right to eat meat. During the story of creation we find that God new Adam was sinnig because he was in clothes. (God has no reason to think a divine being would sin?) To wear clothes Adam had to kill animals and rape the earth to create weapons; taking the life force of some of God's creations to live was not neccessary.
Adam coveted the things of God creation and not satisfied with his lot; I think Adam was trying to impress Eve. We men do some of the dumbest things to impress a woman. Overtime, little infractions become but big infractions. For example, the tenth commandment is just as important as the first commandment. I think people begin to break the tenth commandment first then progress up the ladder to a violation of the first. Moreover, to break the tenth is to go against the word of God thus breaking the first. (Today eating meat is not bad but it is better not to eat meat because of the negative consequences associated with the consumption.)
From divine authority, we find that humanity has commited an original sin (Adam turned from God to make Eve his focus in this life and this was not Eve's fault. Adam love of God brought him Eve, but Adam love of Eve began him on the path to turn from God. This concept does get erased.) that dimished our divinty and puts us at odds with nature but not our inherit ability to be and do good.
To re-establish our divinity a Christain submits to Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son who ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The sacrifice of Christ redeems the world from orignal sin. I think no matter where a person is born after the sacrifice of Christ there original sin has been forgiven, To regain divinity and have eternal life one must follow the ways of Christ. When people are born the yoke of orignal sin is no longer applicable. (One of the sacraments of Jesus is the holy union between man and woman. In marriage, man and woman are to walk together with God as one, removing the burden of the choice between God, woman and man.)
Scientifically humanity has to be inherently good. In order for humanity to reproduce peace and stability must be had. For example, It takes roughly nine months for a woman to give birth to a child. Moreover, the time spent as a child and the reliance of that child on their parents for security and well being add years to the nine months. Therefore, humanity must be peaceful in odrer to continue our species.
Government is not needed to keep humanity peaceful. Hopefully, a Christain relies on Christ to be safe and secure not a government. Governments are created to maintain a few individuals in authority createing a stratified society. Christainity purpose is to save the world and make us one. The two are not compatible. Give unto Ceasar's what is Ceasar's give on to God was is God. What goes where?
