and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. (Hebrews 8:2 – New International Version 1984).

​

11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. (Hebrews 9:11-12 – New International Version 1984).

​

For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. (Hebrews 9:24 – New International Version 1984).

​

After this I looked and in heaven the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the Testimony, was opened. (Revelation 15:5 – New International Version 1984).

​

Revelation 15:5 makes it clear that the tabernacle is not heaven, but a thing that is in heaven. Then it is sure that Hebrews 9:24 does not imply that heaven is the true sanctuary, since the sanctuary, also called "Most Holy Place" etc., is part of the tabernacle, and it is the innermost part of it.

Hebrews 9:24 means that Christ, having entered heaven, as a consequence entered the sanctuary which is in heaven and which is not man-made because it is a thing made in heaven (i.e. not part of this creation (Hebrews 9:11)); in opposition to not having entered a man-made sanctuary (i.e. of part of this creation).

Hebrews 8:2, saying that the true tabernacle has been set up by the Lord, not by man, cannot be used as confirmation that the true tabernacle is heaven, because you might say that God has set up heaven. Nor can Hebrews 9:11 be used as confirmation that the true tabernacle is heaven. The reason is because saying that this tabernacle is not part of this creation, does not necessarily imply that it is not heaven but that it is only one thing that is part of the other creation, that is, heaven. These two passages confirm that the tabernacle is not heaven, but only one thing that is part of it, if you take into account some other verse, such as Revelation 15:5, which gives the confirmation.

​

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. (Hebrews 4:14 – New International Version 1984).

​

Moreover, Hebrews 4:14, saying that Jesus has gone through the heavens, does not give the conclusion that the true tabernacle is heaven.

​

Therefore, the true tabernacle of which Hebrews 8:2 speaks is the tabernacle that is in heaven. As Hebrews 9:11 says, the tabernacle in heaven is greater and more perfect than the earthly tabernacle. It is a material tabernacle like the earthly tabernacle, and is called "true" because the earthly tabernacle was only a copy of the tabernacle in heaven, as was also its innermost part, the sanctuary (Hebrews 9:24).

​

They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." (Hebrews 8:5 – New International Version 1984).

​

Hebrews 8:5 is another confirmation that there is the true tabernacle in heaven, since the pattern of the tabernacle that was shown to Moses on the mountain was indeed the patter of the physical tabernacle in heaven. Moses' tabernacle was therefore a representation and shadow of the physical tabernacle in heaven. This also confirms that the tabernacle of which Hebrews 8:2 speaks is not the body of Christ and therefore is not the church.

An ideology based on anarcho capitalism that advocate the elimination of the state, a completely deregulated economy, and the purging of those seen as morally inferior. People are deemed morally inferior if they violate someones rights, and purging in the case can mean, killing, physical removal, forced labor until their debt is repaid, or assimilation. Is also a Christian ideology.

Hey guys!

Hope everyone is full of excitement heading into Thanksgiving! Since it's been such a tough year for so many people, I thought it prudent to refocus our attention to a basic Christian and larger human principle: charity. Amidst economic and social hardships this year, it's important to remember that charity DOES NOT have to be monetary. We can give time, prayer, words, love, shelter, etc. God says in His word that He loves a cheerful giver, thus it should be to our utmost joy to give openly and freely. This further serves as a manifestation of markets doing what they do, absent top-down control. Charity must be chosen, uncoerced, and given out of love. This is our calling. Thanks for your time today! God bless!

With love,

Stephen S.

Hello! I’m a long-time ancap but a very recent convert, I wanted to share my prospective as well as ask for advice and suggestions on next steps.

I guess I should start by explaining my thought process and how I got here. I don’t come from a religious family or background, even now I’ve not been in a church as an adult other than for weddings or funerals and with coronavirus that may be the case for some time. My family weren’t atheists or anything like that, there was a general belief in God (that I had maintained) coupled with a STRONG distrust for organized religion.

I came to anarchism through my study of economics, specifically Austrian Economics, but as I’ve developed my thinking I’ve understood more and more of the moral arguments for anarchism too. I came to see great value in as many people as possible adopting a moral world view within a voluntary society, which led to me to exploring different moral philosophies myself. Christianity was the first one that I checked out, I tried reading the Bible starting with Genesis and just going through the Old Testament but I ended up not being able to follow and moved on after only getting through about a quarter of it. I remained curious though and still tried to absorb information, mostly through podcasts that had some sort of Christian libertarianism or Christian anarchism theme.

On my own I never really discovered a philosophy that really clicked with me, so over time I just sort of developed a moral framework for myself which can basically be described as “respect individual choices within the bounds of self-ownership, non-aggression, & property rights, and help people as you’re able”. It wasn’t until the last few months that I started circling back to the Bible, this time focusing on the New Testament. I found myself both much more able to follow as well as finding within the pages the same realization that I was coming to find myself, that no matter how I tried I wasn’t able to consistently live up to either the moral or personal standards I had set for myself.

I found myself intrigued but at the same time skeptical of what I was reading. Was I truly bad in the eyes of God even despite my attempts to be a good person and live a good life? Was it so easy to save myself just by believing that Jesus was the son of God, and that he has forgiven my sins, and that he died to save me from the consequences of my sins? For a while I had a hard time reconciling to myself that just accepting this would produce any meaningful difference in my life (was I ever wrong), but I also recognized that if it all was real there would only be value in my accepting it if I truly believed it (no Pascal’s wager for me). This was where I would continually get stuck.

I really want to thank u/Think01st for helping me to get past this mental block. Without your encouragement to accept Jesus’ forgiveness even if I didn’t fully understand or was sure about it I think I would have remained stuck where I was. I’ve only believed for a short time but I’ve felt totally vindicated in this decision from the very first moment. I know I have a lot more studying and learning to do and that this really is a task that I’ll never finish, but I’m so grateful for having undertaken it.

So that’s where I’m at, I’d appreciate any and all advice you may have on next steps. If anyone knows of any good resources either locally (I’m in Northern Virginia just outside of DC) or online I would greatly appreciate it if you passed those along.

I started a new subreddit r/antinifb . The goal to oppose their bigotry and others like the NIFB(new independent fundamentalist Baptist aka Steve Anderson's cult). All Christians who hate sin but still love sinners are welcome to join. Yeshua rebuked His own disciples for asking God to kill the wicked saying they did not know what spirit they were of. That is the spirit that the NIFB is of(and some IFB churches embracing parts of the NIFB doctrine). You are invited to visit and show people a different type of Christianity. Everything you need to know about the NIFB's doctrine in one YouTube video: https://youtu.be/mqyPAndMV7A
