Mises, Rothbard, Rockwell etc. say that government is unnecessary.  They say society would function fine without the state. But the Bible says depraved mankind needs police, jails and the death penalty to maintain law and order. Rape, murder and theft would be rife without the State. 


You know, if government were a product, selling it would be illegal. Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have. -- P.J. O'Rourke

Ecclesiastes 5
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, or the removing of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be amazed at the purpose. For a high one over a high one is watching; and high ones  are over them.
9   And the advantage of a land, it is among all; even a king has a field being tilled.

If men are good, you don't need government; if men are evil or ambivalent, you don't dare have one. -- Robert LeFevre

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject to higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, but the existing authorities have been ordained by God.



The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, "See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk". -- Harry Browne

Proverbs 8
15 By me kings reign, and leaders decree righteousness. 16 Rulers and nobles rule by me, and all the judges of the earth. 


Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. -- Lord Acton (1887)

Matthew 22
17 Then tell us, what do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 18 But knowing their wickedness, Jesus said, Why do you test Me, hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tribute coin. And they brought a denarius to Him. 20 And He said to them, Whose image and inscription is this? 21 They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, Then give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God.
