The argument that "men disagree therefore forget it" results in pure anarchy. Or absolute strong-man despotism. Previously in this thread the issue of "interpretation" was addressed. (Why do people act like thing's have never been brought up and already addressed? It's like going in circles.)

Your equation of oneness Pentecostalism with the Taliban is interesting. Please, by all means, lay out for us what the Taliban believes and does, and how oneness Pentecostals mirror that movement.

We're all ears.
Wilson, please explain.

No. I believe the right-wing interpretation of the Law of God will be just as oppressive in a Reconstructionist civil government.

I'm sure you'd not accept my interpretation of God's Law, if I were to head the Reconstruction. What makes you think I'd accept yours? What makes you think you're interpretation is superior? Because it's Reformed Theology, or Presbyterian? Become Presbyterian or Reformed. These Reconstructionists have no love for Apostolic truth, you, EB, or anyone who doesn't embrace their radical orthodoxy. They'd burn you, me, EB, Amanah, and every Apostolic alive without a second thought. They lump us in with JWs, Unitarians,zero Wiccans, and other "heretical" cults and false religious. You're thinking this radical idea will benefit you, but it only signs your own death warrant.

Wailing and gnashing of teeth, indeed.
I trust only Jesus to rule with such law justly. Men are prone to corruption with such power. If free men can't be trusted to govern a free people, how could you hand divine prerogative to them and trust their government?

No. This is men ruling, blaming Jesus for the burning bodies of their inquisition.

You're not Jesus, and never will be.

Sanders is only a man, just like these Trinitarian Reconstructionists. But Sanders doesn't claim divine prerogative, these men do.

But, as long as the people, especially the churches, are wallowing in rebellion against Christ's authority, all we're going to get is more oppression and insanity. Essentially more of what we're getting now. And it will continue, until the churches return to their first love, and once again teach all nations to obey Christ.

Then, the unstoppable power of the Gospel will begin to transform and redeem man, in reality, as the Kingdom advances.
I accept the authority of the Oneness Christ, not radical Trinitarians hell bent on using civil government to force their interpretation of the Bible on me, you, or anyone else.

Re: BY THIS STANDARD-Greg L. Bahnsen

I think it's evident that EB and Esaias are not Apostolic. They are supporting a Trinitarian theonomy that is opposed to the true Gospel of Christ.

These Reconstructionists don't even have the Holy Ghost, their interpretation of the Bible is warped. They want power, political power. They succumbed to the very temptation that Christ overcame when Satan offered the kingdoms of this world.

The Reconstructionists, like Greg L. Bahnsen, have no love for Apostolic truth, they crave power.

Stop reading radical theocratic Trinitarian garbage. Read the Bible, focus on the NT, and seek the Holy Ghost... And find the real Kingdom. It's here, now, full blown, saving souls, and preparing for Christ's coming.

Re: BY THIS STANDARD-Greg L. Bahnsen

By reading their doctrines, you're scraping the bottom of the rightwing political garbage can, and deceiving Apostolics.

Beards. A love for unbiblical doctrines open you to this garbage. Fall in love auth the Bible, be Apostolic, not some pawn or hack for these radical Trinitarian warlocks.

How can you claim to be advancing the Kingdom of God while basing your entire approach on the teachings of Trinitarian reprobates???

If you're Apostolic, be Apostolic.

Re: BY THIS STANDARD-Greg L. Bahnsen

The Christian Anarchy I've suggested is far better. Because it promotes individuals the freedom to live free of being beholden to any civil government, in accordance to whatever convictions they might have, forming voluntary associations of like minded people, who may or may not be Apostolic, and govern themselves by said convictions. Opposing all coercion from any civil government that challenges their understanding of the Word of God. Sovereign Christian citizens.

This Reconstructionist junk is not a foundation built by men who are even born again of water and Spirit.
