Re: A Handmaids Tale
Furthermore, the Bible does not call upon the church to take over the state by force of arms. Rather, it's job is to teach all men.
As people are regenerated, they become theonomic (supposed to, anyway). They submit to Christ's Lordship in all areas of their lives. As the church lets its light shine, people are drawn to it, to the Lord, to His Truth.
"Regeneration precedes reconstruction". That is, a theonomic society can only be possible in a society that embraces God's Word. Which requires evangelism by the church, PRIOR to any restructuring of a nation to become more obedient to God.
