This is the first article discussing the topic of \u201canarchy.\u201d The world is in chaotic confusion today because anarchy dominates the decision-makers. But not only is anarchy evident in the world it also controls religious, social, moral, and personal choices. This is a sobering reality but many seem oblivious to it! The two parts of this discussion focus upon two epistles and their message to modern man \u20142 Thessalonians and 2 John.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe term \u201cdestructionist\u201d is rarely used in the common language. Yet it identifies the focus of this study. By definition it refers to \u201cone who delights in destroying that which is valuable, or whose principles and influence tend to destroy existing institutions; an advocate of the destruction of an existing political institution or the like.\u201d Thus, the focus is upon a person who is determined to \u201cdeconstruct\u201d the existing framework that sets boundaries for acceptable and unacceptable behavior and beliefs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world has always been tempted by the cunning Destructionist attempting to \u201cchange\u201d or rethink\u201d or \u201credefine\u201d issues. Their objective is to \u201cdeconstruct\u201d the old and \u201creconstruct\u201d the new. They display an arrogant anarchy\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem with anarchy is that it never works. It never satisfies. It never brings happiness. It always brings ruin\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe greatest tragedy that can befall God\u2019s Church and drive it into total anarchy occurs when the Laws of God are mocked and Christians are told they can, with impunity, disobey a commanded practice or modify a faith principle which they do not like.<\/p>\n
\u201cA contemporary illustration of the delusion of anarchy is seen in the words of some Elderships who confess \u201cWe have done what WE thought best for this congregation to grow.\u201d But notice that their governing principle is not the Scripture\u2019s Rule of Law (The Bible) BUT it was \u201cwhat we think is best to make this congregation grow.\u201d No other phrase frighteningly summarizes the disdain for the absolute spiritual Rule of Law\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
