Jesus didn't come to play around in the insignificant, human created ideologies. What are they compared to His Kingdom? He came to initiate a new way, and not fit into any form of human social structure. He came to establish a kingdom far more powerful than anything we can create, or even fathom. These earthy kingdoms focus on controlling men and women through power and coercion. He came to rule through the hearts of people. Love is his economic system, and righteous justice is his rule of law.
Yes, because love pays for all the churches in his name, and "righteous justice" puts criminals away.
Good theology though. You should teach.
