Day 10:  A Genuine Christian Does Not Impose His Will on Others by Force or Threats of Violence.

A Genuine Christian does not impose Christianity on others by force.
              no initiation of force, offensive violence

This might seem obvious and non-controversial. But in fact it will be one of the most hotly-contested issues in this program.

In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 10, Jesus discovers His disciples arguing about who is going to be the "greatest" in the Kingdom of God.

They didn't understand that Jesus' Kingdom was quite unlike the kingdoms of the world.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. {43} Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. {44} And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. {45} "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

The word translated "rulers" comes from the Greek word from which we derive our English word "anarchist."

"Lords," "rulers" and "great ones" are "archists."

Jesus clearly says His followers are not to be "archists." They are to be "servants."

The archist:

  1. initiates force against others
  2. engages in punitive retaliatory vengeance
  3. does not respect others' rights to private property
  4. creates disorder, chaos, instability -- violent overthrow of competing archists;
  5. promotes monarchy, oligarchy, socialism, fascism, "the dictatorship of the proletariat," "crony capitalism," democracy, republicanism, and all the other political theories that "the kings of the Gentiles" have come up with over the centuries..

The Biggest Government Lie of All Time is that "anarchists" are bad, while those who oppose "anarchists" are good.

Logically, those who oppose "anarchists" must be "archists."

The mind-boggling reality is, "archists" are the bad guys, and Jesus commanded His followers not to be archists.

The True Christian is not an "archist."

If you want to be a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ), then you do not want to be an archist.

Jesus told His disciples not to be archists.

You are not a consistent, faithful Christian if you are an archist.
