How's that working out for you? You couldn't hack it when you were with the plural eldership house group. How do you think you would sail with a communal anarchist group? Which is an oxymoron. There is no such thing as anarchist fellowship, because every man is right in his own view. This is where you really shine, because you have no apostolic church government. No apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Just you and what ever you want at the moment. Here is where your baloney is turned on its head. You claim that divorce disqualifies eldership? So, in this Christian anarchism where you only submit to "Christ" how aren't you disqualified to lead anyone? I mean how is anyone disqualified to lead if anarchists have no leadership other than an invisible deity? Which you would be the only mouth piece to anyone who had the misfortune of being linked to you as a family unit?

The born again Christian has the Holy Spirit to guide them directly. We don't need Esaias, Rushdoony, or any other fallen human being ruling over us as God's representative. God Himself is in us.
If Rushdoony, and these other theonomists, had the Holy Spirit, they'd need not rely on human coercion through religious government, or political agenda.

This is the real reason you can't be in a church, because you won't be under anyone. This appeals to you because like I said if Jesus was your pastor, King David played his harp, and Paul took up the offering, you still wouldn't listen. Having an invisible god appeals to you, because that bolt of lighting never hit. So therefore because you constantly dodge the ecclesiastical silver bullet time and time again, you continue to get worse.

Guys like you are a laugh, when you allow us to see your magical thinking, and walk around with a bowl of corn flakes in the emperor's new clothes.
