Well, my quote above is taken a bit out-of-context and wasn't referring to Swordsmyth or anyone on a forum who is expressing their own views (whether they are correct or incorrect).
I think that the really difficult social problems like incest illustrate the whole problem with the State. We are trying to use human laws to solve spiritual problems that are simply impervious to simplistic, one-size-fits-all human laws, which are the only kind of laws we can really make via government. When God created Adam in the Garden, Adam answered to no man, only to God. And Eve also answered to no one but God (see Gen. 3), even though Adam was the spiritual head of the earthly creation, and the first marriage. And so we see in this the true pattern by which God has made people. For one man (or woman) to bow down to another man is an abomination, and a corruption of the image of God within man:
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:8,9)
The corruption of the Edenic order is the only reason that the State can exist at all. Its sheer existence is a slap in God's face, just as much as the reasons that God has permitted it to exist (in order to suppress other, worse abominations through threats, violence and warfare). And the State is not even redeemable, it will be utterly destroyed at the end of the Age, along with all other abominations:
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured ... [and] thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The [kings of the earth and their armies] were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. (Revelation 19:19-21, excerpt)
This will be the final fate of the State -- at the end of the age, those who comprise the State (as such) will be executed and their corpses eaten by wild birds. What will replace the State is the eternal Kingdom of God and its King, who is Jesus.
"But this passage is only talking about those who
worship the Beast." Exactly. To belong to the State (as such), is one and the same as worshiping the Beast, because the State is a corruption of the Edenic order wherein man ruled the creatures of the earth (the
beasts of the field); instead, the State-principle is
force, which is the principle by which the beasts in this world live... Nature red in tooth and claw. Everyone who is trapped in this anti-human, anti-God, antichrist system will either repent and come out of it, or they will eventually end up worshiping the Beast and following him to his fate in the lake of fire.
Force decides
nothing. Force proves
nothing. Force is the cutting short of moral reasoning (or any kind of reasoning), so it is the diametric opposite of morality. That God permits the abomination of the State to exist is not some kind of stamp of approval on it. The State is like bleach. Sure, bleach in low concentration will kill nasty, infectious germs that you don't want around. But in high concentration, bleach will also kill
you. Neither bleach nor infectious germs are desirable, what is desirable is cleanliness (metaphor for God's holiness as expressed in the created order of Eden, as God originally made it).
