RE: Am I AN Anarchist, A Christian Or Both ? Can They Coexist In One Person ?I

1 Peter 2:13–25
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover–up for evil

This is the part that clears the whole stanza up. It is saying to not use violence against those who see themselves as the "true authority," but rather live without rulership and to not use this idea to spill blood in the name of your liberation.
