The true Kingdom is within us. Ruled directly by Christ, through the Holy Spirit. We do live biblically, but we are not beholden to any earthly government... even if it flies a Christian banner.
Assuming that America were to become "Reconstructed" tomorrow, where would those like me, who oppose it, protest against it, preach against it, admonish obedience to Christ alone, and actively denounce it, stand?

Explain how you would oppose a social order founded on obedience to Christ alone while "preaching obedience to Christ alone"? That makes no sense. Does obedience to Christ alone mean that we should oppose the criminalization of robbery, rape, murder? That we should stand against the idea of people looking to the Bible for guidance?
Absurd.
