What is Anarcho-Pantelism?

Posted by adam.dada on February 20th, 2007

This post will be edited to include links to the various terms or thoughts used in it, as articles are written.

Anarcho-Pantelism is a lifestyle term used to describe someone who is a full-preterist Christian who also believes that anarcho-capitalism is the best political thought for humanity. Anarcho-pantelists differ from most Western Christians as we believe the Bible offers incredible insight into how to live, why to live that way, and what is offered if you subscribe to the anarcho-pantelist lifestyle.

Anarcho-pantelists believe that most Christians are living ignorant of the New Age of God. We don’t believe others are wrong or are liars or are penalized for their lifestyle decisions, but we do believe there is a better way to live — one that is more Biblically sound.

Some of our beliefs:
1. We believe that the Bible is a historical viewpoint of God and man’s progression over time.
2. We believe that most of the Bible is closed off as a guide to living — it merely lists the actions of God and man over millenia.
3. We believe that Christ did not come for man, but came for God to reconcile man with the Father.
4. We believe that Christ was both mortal and divine.
5. We believe that Christ’s sole purpose was to end the Old Age of God’s Judgement and Law.
6. We believe that Christ died, was resurrected, and that He returned again to vanquish sin.
7. We believe that sin is defined as “falling short of God’s Law” and we believe that sin is no longer around because God’s Law was ended with the Old Age.
8. We believe that salvation is for all men, regardless of faith.
9. We believe that Christ’s actions and words dictate the best way to live, but that no one should force nor trick others into living that way.
10. We do not believe in corporate prayer, and we believe the Bible shows it isn’t scripturally-sound.
11. We believe that worship is not about singing or getting together with fellow followers, but instead it is using your hands and mind and heart in the best way that God designed you — and giving God the thanks for making you that way.
12. We believe that the government (the State) has no power, and is not blessed by God.
13. We are against all forms of violence, including taxation, welfare, war and regulations such as mortal law.
14. We believe that the Church is merely the population as it lives today.
15. We don’t believe in buildings as the “church.”
16. We believe that all capital, including our bodies, the land we live on and the tools we use are God’s, not ours.
17. We believe that charity can only occur between one person giving it and another seeking it. We don’t believe in group charity and believe it is counter to Christ’s teachings.
18. We believe in motivating others to change solely by being an example, never by calling them out or judging them.
19. We believe we can not judge anyone else for any reason, even if they harm us.
20. We believe in eternal life for all, with the afterlife based on the life you lead in the mortal life.
21. We believe that God no longer has intercourse with mortals, and that the Father and the Son are ruling over those in the afterlife.
22. We don’t believe in miracles any longer.
23. We don’t believe that the Great Commission still exists.
24. We don’t believe in speaking in tongues, water baptism, or offering/tithing.
25. We believe that current Israel is not God’s nation, it is only a mortal nation that is as evil as every other State body.
26. We don’t believe the Father or the Son communicate with mortals any longer — we believe that the Holy Spirit does reside in all people, regardless of faith, and helps to direct people to moral decisions.
27. We don’t believe the Book of Acts is valid any longer.
28. We believe that the entire Book of Revelation has occurred and is a prophecy fully fulfilled.
29. We don’t believe Jesus was a liar.
30. We believe that the Word is love, and that is how Jesus vanquished sin and saved all of mankind, reconciled to God’s Love for all.
31. We believe that legalistic measures don’t work — laws against abortion, drinking, gambling, prostitution, homeschooling, smoking and other mortal “evils” can never have the effect that the law supporters want.
32. We believe that the easiest path to introducing others to immorality is by creating the forbidden fruit for them — telling others what they can’t do is the best way to get them to do it.
