AnarchoChristian - Evaluating the relationship between the Christian and the state

By AnarchoChristian

What's AnarchoChristian - Evaluating the relationship between the Christian and the state about?

Evaluating the relationship between the Christian and the state.

Numerous times in the Bible we are told to love God above all else. This includes any forms of States or Kings. It is our desire at AnarchoChristian to present these Truths and Scripture through the filter of today’s political and social State worship.

No king but Christ!
