From "Our Enemy, the State" by Albert J. Nock."There appears to be a curious difficulty about exercising reflective thought upon the actual nature of an institution into which one was born and one's ancestors were born. One accepts it as one does the atmosphere; one's practical adjustments to it are made by a kind of reflex. One seldom thinks about the air until one notices some change, favourable or unfavourable, and then one's thought about it is special; one thinks about purer air, lighter air, heavier air, not about air. So it is with certain human institutions. We know that they exist, that they affect us in various ways, but we do not ask how they came to exist, or what their original intention was, or what primary function it is that they are actually fulfilling; and when they affect us so unfavourably that we rebel against them, WE CONTEMPLATE SUBSTITUTING NOTHING BEYOND SOME MODIFICATION OR VARIANT OF THE SAME INSTITUTION. Thus colonial America, oppressed by the monarchical State, brings in the republican State; Germany gives up the republican State for the Hitlerian State; Russia exchanges the monocratic State for the collectivist State; Italy exchanges the constitutionalist State for the "totalitarian" State." cont. |

What's the problem? She's "just doing her job" and being consistent with the popular dual-personality doctrine. You know, do evil from 9-5 for the love of money which is blamed on God (the Protestant work ethic, Romans 13) and then be a believer and do good from 5-9. The dual-personality doctrine! So convenient eh? Now how many people who profess Christ do you know that do evil in order to "make a living"? Politicians, military, police, lawyers, child predator services, tax collectors/assessors, school teachers, census workers (oh just some extra cash), pharmacists, allopaths, vaccinators, pastors... And so many more. |

Brother Saint Elected Christopher, the short answer is no. Even if any sort of inflicted violence on someone may appear to "work", does it ultimately "work" and is it right? I say no, just like I say no to sinners prayer, fish dinners, games, rock-n-roll music etc. for supposedly drawing unbelievers to Christ. Seems to work, but it doesn't. Look at the entirety of scripture and you'll see the false doctrine of hitting little children. Professed believers have a fetish with violence and domination and pervert scripture so they can justify their sin. Don't hold some doctrine, especially one so serious as hurting children who cannot even understand, based on a few isolated passages, especially a few OT passages, and even more especially a few "dark sayings" (proverbs). However, since your wife is an unbeliever, and if I may use the same application, are you dwelling in the corner of your house? And how may believers with contentious, brawling wives are obeying God and dwelling in the corner of their houses or wilderness? Is this doctrine being taught? Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. See Proverbs 25:24, 21:19 Christopher000 wrote: Hi Officer Brother Saint Elmer... |
