95 THESES ON PATRIARCHY

Abolishing the State: A Call for a Paradigm Shift

The Idea of 95 Theses

The Protestant Reformation (1517) changed the face of Western Civilization. It began when Martin Luther posted "95 Theses" on Justification by Faith on the door of the Wittemburg Church (the conventional method of inaugurating public debate on an important subject).

We hereby inaugurate debate on a subject which we humbly believe will change the face of Western Civilization.

95 Theses for the 21st Century

The Bible contains an infallibly recorded history of the human race. That history begins with the creation of man in a state of "Patriarchy," a Family-centered society, functioning freely and prosperously, with no "State" and no "church." From this Edenic life, man rebelled against God and fell into politics and religion.

Today our ideas (and the theories of the "experts") are dominated by institutionalism. We cannot imagine a decentralized society of self-governing Christians, productively meeting the needs of others. Those who, like the Anabaptists of the 16th century, suggest that society would be better off without a "State" or institutional "church" are dismissed as "anarchists."

They can be dismissed no longer.

Not just because America's "State" is rapidly degenerating into a "Feminazi-ocracy," joining forces with pagan dictators and threatening to envelop the world in global tyranny.
Not just because the institutional "church" has proved utterly irrelevant in stopping our cultural and moral collapse.

But because - from cover to cover - the Bible advocates

PATRIARCHY.

Beginning in Genesis and continuing to the book of Revelation, 95 Theses are drawn out of the pages of Scripture and are set out in this volume as a challenge to the violence, corruption, immorality, and autonomy of Secular Humanism, in the "State" and in the "church."

"Society without a State?!?"
"Stop attending church?!?"

How to Use the 95 Theses

If you believe the Scriptures really are the Word of God, read one thesis a day, looking up each of the Scripture references, and in three months your life will be radically altered. Your understanding of the Bible will forever be changed. You will be transformed from a son of Darwin to a son of Abraham.

I hope to post the following in conjunction with each of the following Theses:

The Scripture proof-texts
Exegetical comments on these texts from "mainstream" commentators throughout history (showing that, like the "Reformational" concept of Justification by Faith, no "revolutionary" idea is really new)
Extensive Bibliographical resources discussing the idea advanced in each Thesis.

In each of these files I would like to include questions, discussion, and debate mailed to me by people like you. I would rather be "flamed" than ignored (provided the flame has at least a façade of being a cogent argument). Please write to me at Kevin4VFT@aol.com and I will add your ideas to the on-going debate.
