I find the idea of a libertarian being the “Biblical” candidate laughable. As would a lot of libertarians, too, I’d imagine.

I am a Libertarian.

A former "Big-L" Libertarian at that -- paid the annual Party Dues, registered under Party Membership. I consider Ron Paul to be the BIBLICAL Candidate -- and as a LIBERTARIAN, I'm thrilled with his candidacy.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:... For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Romans 13:3,9)

If Government were to restrict its operations to the Basic Mandate approved by Saint Paul -- the Punishment of Murder and Aggression, Theft, Fraud, Abuse, and Contract-Breaking -- we would enjoy the Best, most Biblical, and most Libertarian government one could ever hope for.

UNITE THE RIGHT!
VOTE RON PAUL!!

Yeah, but the thing is, the Bible mandates no single form of government. The Bible merely commands Christians to obey every ordinance for the Lord's sake. This is regardless of whether we live in a Constitutional Republic, a democracy, or a dictatorship. The only exception is where the government would require us to act against EXPLICIT statements in the Word of God. Even then, we must then suffer the consequences of our choice for the Lord, even if it results in persecution for that choice.

What's ironic is that, while we have folks running around basically making the Bible and the Constitution synonymous, the most perfect government that will ever exist will be an absolute monarchy headed by the Lord Jesus Christ during His millennial reign.
