AntiDominion?
For those who responded nagatively;
"In a politico-religious context, dominionism (also called subjectionism[1]) is the tendency among some conservative politically-active Christians, especially in the United States, to seek influence or control over secular civil government through political action. The goal is either a nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law."
Using the same defintion, I pose this question;
Since you have rejected biblical law what should be the basis for governance?

Re: Dominion??
Personally Im curious to know what believers consider a better base than the scriptures, although I cant imagine how it could be possible.

Re: Dominion??
I dont think any non-dominionists have a problem with Biblical law.
I think the problem is trying to build a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law.
I mean, there will need to be written law....and enforcement of that law. It's basically like going back to Mosaic old covenant.

Question for Hitch:
Is there going to be persecution for Christians in the endtimes?
Or will the time just before Christs return be a Christian utopia?

Christ will return at such a time the Father decides, it is likely this will be when the church ,as a structure or orchard if you like, is complete. Everywhere christianity is practiced life is better for the believer and non believer like, so it seems the general bent toward progress will continue.

Well as I reported, my believing cousin is a judge on a bench that would have otherwise go to homosexual or at the least a pro-homosexual. Perhaps I am alone in thinking that is positive. Liberty University ,is granting degrees in Crmial Justice,Education,Nurseing and Business. I hope no one will actually use their education , I mean , christians are just not supposed to lead anything, right?
Question: How are Christians doing in their mission to take over politics? Any inroads? Whats the plan?
In fact all christian education should be closed and any believers in positions of leadership should be removed. No one should ever have to face a judge in court thinking the judge might be a ,,,,,christian ewwwww!!!
Since others might read this I'll suggest a title, its a short read and its not usually associated with 'dominionism' .

I think a Christian judge is a positive thing in and of itself. Its good for those who will benefit directly from it.

Christians should have nothing to do with
Governing, policing, running jails or staffing the military.
We are not here to enforce Gods laws upon people. There is no nobility in following
the laws of God under the threat of a gun. It only makes people hate and resent
God and have a deep hatred for Christians.
It is totally counter productive to building the Kingdom in spirit. That takes
people accepting Jesus willingly without any form of governmental force.
Dominion theology is against the teachings of Jesus. He does not want us to
prostitute ourselves to the beast and be it's pawns.

Re: Dominion??
I will explain it.
In the end times True Followers of Jesus will be persecuted and killed for
their witness to God. This is biblical, this is true.
Therefore those who will be persecuting them will not be true followers of
Jesus. But they will believe they are doing Gods work in killing true
Christians.
So with this in mind Dominionism if it succeeds will be the force that will be
killing true Christians at the end times. They shall be the ones who think they
will be doing God service in eliminating true Christians.

Adstar, do you use any of the benifits of the Governing, policing, running jails or staffing the military.
Do you expect other to obey traffic laws? To what degree do you really believe what you say? Get into a car wreck hope you dont seek a police report. The bad guys break into your home dont call the cops.
The government say in the form of a water district supplies the water to your home do you use it?

Today when you buy gass you expect the state to enforce the implied contract that you get one gallon of gas for the price listed. That is , since you seem to be unaware, enforcing Mosaic Law on the public.
