A Church is a "form of Government".
What a Church is not, is a STATE.
For all but an extremely limited number of cases (actual crimes of aggression), a covenantal Church is a far better, and more Biblically appropriate, form of Government, than the coercive State.

Yes.
The world is imperfect -- for now. Blackstone's maxim is one of those "best we can do, this side of Glory" type things, and is "true" -- at least for this Time, and this Season.
This isn't the solution these folks are looking for. Their only hope is in believing anarchy is a workable system.
