Leaving Egypt Ministries, Nathan Moon
The State, Oppressor, Tyrant, Soldier, and Police Officer are the ones who maintain power through force, fraud, coercion, and propaganda. They have a monopoly on force. They exploit and extort you to fund their monopoly through taxes.
As tempting as it may be, once you determine to “unshackle” yourself through violent means you agree to their terms, that “Might makes right,” that violence is victorious. “WAR IS PEACE” is understood when it’s fictionalized, and we agree but pretend it’s not real; this is when it becomes the reality. People are blind to it — worse, they embrace it. The bonds grow tighter. You become the thing you hate under very powerful, slow training. You will agree with them that, “Only by The Sword is freedom won and order maintained.” Voting is a mechanism of illusion by the State to manufacture consent, no different or less dangerous than a literal sword or gun, except that it’s more of a psychological weapon. Freedom is knowing that while they may kill your body, they can never destroy your soul (Matt 10:28). Sadly, the masses are hypnotized and don’t realize they’re being tortured.
You may “free” your body for a time when you resort to The Sword, but take a moment to look at your hands and see that there’s blood on them; you will see that your soul is now stained and shackled by guilt. You may have less blood on your hands than The State, but you have blood on them nonetheless. By all appearances, you’re equal.
When you think, “This is what they deserved,” “Or my neighbor must do this or he should be fined or jailed,” then you become what the State was and is — a hater of humanity. True freedom begins when you realize they have no power over anyone, and neither do you. But when you use their Sword against them, you validate their propaganda, which is that, “Without us, there would be more violence. We are here to protect you.” Isn’t this the promise of every armed revolutionary of the people (so-called)? To be your “Brothers Keeper” means you do the opposite of what Cain did, which was kill his brother and pretend it didn’t happen and wasn’t his responsibility or fault. Cain was a deceived tyrant, the seed of Satan — a mortal, therefore, unjust destroyer.
Only unimaginative, helpless, and sick people use violence to “free” themselves when there are plenty of alternatives one can find and invent if only they knew what “integrity” and “morality” were.
Better to be killed by the tyrants, than to adopt their means of violence. Better to be in a dungeon than a dungeon operator.
As I said before, I say again: The “true patriot” is the one who seeks to abolish government, not one who clamors to save it. Jesus said, “Do unto others what you want them to do unto you.” Go and sin no more.
