THESIS 43: THE STATE SERVES GOD BY SINNING

By His decree, God can be said to "command" nations to do His bidding, carrying out His judgments against covenant-breakers.[161] The acts of rape, murder, theft, and violence committed by the "State" are nevertheless contrary to God's written (revealed) commands, and these political machines will be judged for their lawless "obedience" to God's "command."[162]
