I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Christian anarchism is a philosophical and religious stance that advocates for the rejection of all forms of earthly authority, particularly the state, as incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians who embrace this philosophy believe that Jesus' message of love, selflessness, and compassion calls for a complete rejection of earthly power structures and a return to the simple, communal living described in the New Testament.

There are several arguments in favor of Christian anarchism. One is that the state and other earthly authorities often wield their power in ways that are contrary to Christian values, such as through violence, exploitation, and oppression. By rejecting these authorities, Christians can more fully live out their faith and resist participation in systems that go against their values.

Another argument is that the state and other earthly authorities often claim to have a monopoly on the use of force and violence, which is a direct contradiction to Jesus' teachings of nonviolence and love for one's enemies. By rejecting the state and its monopoly on violence, Christians can more fully embrace the teachings of Jesus and work towards a world where conflict is resolved through dialogue and reconciliation rather than violence.

A third argument in favor of Christian anarchism is that it allows for a greater emphasis on community and mutual aid, as Christians are called to love and care for one another and to share their resources and talents with their neighbors. In a society where the state and other earthly authorities are rejected, people are more likely to rely on and support one another, leading to stronger and more resilient communities.

Overall, Christian anarchism offers a compelling vision of a society grounded in love, compassion, and selflessness, rather than power, violence, and coercion. While it may be a challenging and unconventional path, it is one that is consistent with the teachings of Jesus and offers a way for Christians to live out their faith more fully in the world.

The bible talks about predestination. I can recommend you some books if you want to do a deep dive.

It's a new day, I have been born again.
In His spirit, and His name, I'm sanctified!

Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.

thread needs to come to life

I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life. And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

1 John 5:13-15

But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.

Mark 11:23-24

The most powerful bible verse I've ever found. This is true spiritual wisdom.
