I agree with 99.99999% of what you say here. I think that individuals are primary characters but God himself is the prime.
The moral of the Jesus story is true. Political power and retaining of power is a major theme of the Gospel accounts. Jesus is the rebel that leads his people to real truth instead of political maneuvering.
Ultimately it’s the substance of the real truth that’s what’s most important, and that is sin is present in every individual. I believe 100% that “Power corrupts. But absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This is the temptation of sin. The reason why I’m a Bitcoiner is the same reason Im a Christian. Governments are incredibly tempted by selfishness and power. People are tempted by the same. The only hope for mankind is what Jesus offers in restoration back to something foundational and hard. Just like Bitcoin brings us back to the same with money.
Deep thoughts for a Monday night. Thanks for the 2 sats!
