To trust in "governments" and their militaries for protection is not only to abandon God as our protector, but leads to an insecure plunder society that extorts its people and keeps them in bondage. Only God provides true protection. Seeking security in human institutions leads to slavery.

Taxation is not essential to civilization, but is a tool of political robbery and a sign of a people who have forsaken God. Tax slavery is nothing less than proof that men have trusted in political systems as their "gods" and "saviors" rather than the Lord God.

To have God as your God means to trust in Him for all things, including protection from enemies. To turn to men for protection and military aid is to trust in man-gods that don't save.

Governments use fear to expand control and power. The events in our world, whether real or manufactured, have been utilized to justify increased government intervention and reduction of individual liberties. True faith in God is the only real way to prevent such political manipulation and avoid the lies of these rulers and the consequences of more political power.

The State, as opposed to a voluntaryist society guided by God's ethical principles, is a predatory agency that coerces property from the populations is has come to rule. It is marked by robbery, violence, and slavery, and impedes on God's natural order, which is defined by peace, productive exchange, and voluntary association. A return to God's kingdom requires the rejection of statist societies.

Isaiah 10 encourages Christians to rely solely on God's will in daily life, as opposed to societal or governmental structures. It shows the consequences for arrogance and pride and the importance of humility. Christians are urged to rekindle their faith, particularly during challenging times, recognizing God's punishment of unjust ruling systems and His commitment to justice. The text further exhorts believers to remain hopeful and faithful in God's eventual restoration and triumph over the kingdoms of men.

We ought to chose spiritual wisdom over material wealth when these are the choices, for far too many men are willing to make moral compromises in pursuit of riches within a statist system. We ought to follow instead the Biblical teaching that righteousness surpasses wealth.

When Christians sing national anthems and other patriotic songs, they are praising man-made states as deities. Our worship should only be directed to God, and not merely for His divine status, but also as a deliverer from the oppressive Egyptian systems of our world.

Human kings are often perceived to be a part of God's prescriptive will on earth. But human rulership is arguably incorrectly understood as being under God's mandate. These earthly governments are contradictory to the Christian belief in the Lord as the sole "King of kings" and "Lord of lords." Their existence points to a reliance on man-made systems instead of pure faith in God. In fact, they are based in sin and idolatry of earthly leaders.

Just as the scriptures predict will happen every time, Babylon is falling apart today, and we have a duty to show people why and how and get them prepared.

What does it mean to "love your neighbor"? And is this commandment fulfilled in supporting the State? Or when men choose the voluntary means of charity?

Most people don't even see the Babylonian society, much less that this whoredom is failing to deliver its promises anymore. But those who see it ought to be warning others and organizing.

Are we forgetting about the general sins of one's personal life to emphasize statism? It is probably better to conceive of statism as sin manifested on a large scale.

We have a duty to God to courageously tell others about His word and His judgment that He brings upon men who are full of idolatries, violence, and plunder.

Should Christians be singing songs for Egypt? Such a question would seem to be no light matter given that the Lord wants us to sing our song for him just as much as Pharaohs are always attempting to trick men into singing their song.

There are two choices one can follow concerning the idea of maintaining their liberties and avoiding political slavery: They can follow God, and live freely and trust in His protection, or they can follow men, and end up in bondage and chains.

The masses' general understanding of the political situation before us is much different than that of the prophets. They think that governments bring freedom and prosperity, whereas the prophets teach that it brings slavery and destruction.

What do States have to do to rob people, given that men are generally opposed to robbery?

Should Christians celebrate the Fourth of July given all the idolatry and statism that goes on?
