When Jesus looked at the Temple, the devil appeared a third time and whispered to Him “You know all the governments of the earth are mine. You could rule over all people.”
And Jesus knew this was true. All the governments of the world are held by the devil. Anyone who embraces evil, can rule over others.
As the devil whispered in his ear, he refused, he turned away from the Temple. “Get away from me, Satan! It is written ‘worship only God, and serve only his purpose”.
– Gospel of Matthew, The Red Letter Bible
Christian Anarchy is the name for a set of beliefs that all stem from the idea that taking power over anyone else is evil. Jesus teaching this lesson again and again throughout his ministry Christian Anarchists take Jesus teaching to mean that in the world he wants to see us create, we can’t take or hold power.
This is how many christians, including the Red Letter Church, find our way from Jesus’ teachings, to Anarchist poliitical action.
All the kingdoms are the Earth belong to the devil. And while we may live under them, we understand that its our responsibility to build the Kingdom of God: a world without them.
