Good point, if everyone supported evil leaders like Donald Trump who amongst other things openly supports the God-hating, child molesting/indoctrinating, institution destroying rainbow flag of perversion death movement, no one would be saved (note that I dropped the word "likely").

What about absolute monarchists, or absolute democrats? Both of them conflict with the liberal institutions constitutionalism, separation of powers, civilian control of the military and the rule of law. Can you be a Christian and believe in absolute monarchism? Don't forget that for most of history absolute monarchism was the government of choice for most nations, including Israel after hundreds of years of Judges.
Human rights; constitutionalism, separation of powers, civilian control of the military and the rule of law.

You're confusing a Godless ideology (libertarianism) with a form of government (a monarchy). If the monarch rules based on libertarian ideology ("It's MY body and I can do with it as I please!"...i.e. pro abortion, pro homosexuality, pro recreational drug use, etc.), then explain to the people following this 6 part thread why that person couldn't be a Christian, i.e. a follower of Christ.

How about something more simplistic like when voting, follow the commands of God in Exodus 18:21, as well as knowing what the role of civil government is as shown in Romans 13 and making certain that the civil leaders elected abide by those important rules?

Political ideologies form the forms of government. Monarchism forms monarchies, liberalism forms liberal regimes, socialism forms socialist regimes.
Monarchs can't rule based on libertarian ideology (which is a bent of liberalism---a bent towards anarchism---as opposed to conservatism, which is another bent of liberalism, that is towards paternalism) because liberalism conflicts with monarchism, unless it's a "constitutional monarchy", which is itself a form of liberalism.
The sword is for punishing evil, and if the law authorizes penalty for evil, then what you're supporting here is the rule of law, which is a liberal institution that I mentioned before. You're a liberal, which is what a conservative is, because all conservatives believe in the rule of law, constitutionalism, the separation of powers, civilian control of the military, and human rights. (We differ on what those rights are, and who has them, but you believe in them.)

You're overstepping, which you might have guessed. Of course no one knows our hearts except God. And the Scripture doesn't even give us full clarity in terms of trying to ascertain whether someone really believes in Christ, so how can we now, well after the fact, deign to pronounce limits to what someone cannot believe and still be a Christian?
Libertarian ideology, which I've previously explained is a form of liberal ideology (separation of powers, rule of law, constitutionalism, civilian control of the military; human rights) with a bent towards anarchism (a distinct ideology from liberalism), is not the right ideology to my mind, but I know plenty of Christians who are not conflicted about their ideology and their faith in the Lord.
Conservativism is liberalism with a bent toward paternalism, which is pretty much the polar opposite of anarchy, so it's little wonder that you target libertarianism all the time.

I'll go with the definition that life long libertarians like Ron Paul, Murray Rothbard, Walter Block and Lew Rockwell wrote in the Libertarian Party Platform:
"As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty: a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and are not forced to sacrifice their values for the benefit of others...
Consequently, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power."

Looks good on paper doesn't it folks? That is until you scroll down and they explain what words like "liberty" and "peaceful and honest" mean in libertarian terms: the legalization* of homosexuality, abortion, pornography, prostitution, recreational drug use, things that anyone with common sense knows enslaves people to sin, it doesn't "free" them.
*Legalization falls under NAP/ Non Aggression Policy, which libertarians use to justify supporting all kinds of moral depravity, i.e. "without interference from government or any authoritarian power."

Go with the definition given by life long political scientists. Libertarians are liberals, like conservatives---they just lean their liberalism toward anarchism, while conservatives lean their liberalism toward paternalism. But they're both liberals. You can check this on the internet, this is how the political scientists define libertarianism.
The government (police, criminal justice system) has the power to kill you if justified, or they can imprison you indefinitely, or they can just fine you, they have a lot of power, and the libertarians do not like this one bit, but bear in mind that the government is there because of violent crime, Romans 13 re: "the sword". If you don't commit violent crime, and if you don't associate with violent criminals, then you'll probably avoid any very serious interaction with the government.
Totally agreed on that sentiment. But you're just incorrect that people should be penalized by the government ("the sword") because they masturbate "wrong". Whether it's premarital masturbation, adultery masturbation, same-sex masturbation or orgy masturbation, the state shouldn't be nosing in these non-violent-crimes.
Even though masturbation "enslaves people" and "doesn't 'free' them', and as distasteful as it is to conceive of, let alone say it, we have the right to masturbate. You have the right to masturbate. I have the right to masturbate. Whether we do or not, is our free choice. The free choice to either enslave ourselves, or to free ourselves (or remain free).
The government should interfere in immoral violations of human rights, if possible and plausible. To punish people for masturbating "wrong" is itself an immoral violation of human rights.*Legalization falls under NAP/ Non Aggression Policy, which libertarians use to justify supporting all kinds of moral depravity, i.e. "without interference from government or any authoritarian power."

There, that's better (for those of you that don't read libertarian, idolater just made a plug for "victimless crimes", the two words libertarians frequently use to promote their Godless agenda. Anything short of murder is supposedly "victimless", especially homosexuality and recreational drug use).

"The justices in an opinion by conservative Justice Clarence Thomas ruled 9-0 against a Florida man named Tarahrick Terry who had asked them to include offenders like him - people who had been arrested in possession of small amounts of crack cocaine - within the scope of the First Step Act signed into law by former President Donald Trump."

Yawn.
Violent crime is the problem that our government and police need to solve, which includes every offense against every human right, which you admit, includes the right to masturbate. Probably because it's "victimless". Hypocrite.
Close. Buggery is as offensive against Christian chastity as all other forms of masturbation are, in terms of gravity or seriousness. The oldest Christian traditions condemn them all equally. Compare that to this newfangled (basically iow 'liberal') disfigured modern Protestant sexual ethic, that approves of all sorts of masturbation, it being of course, "victimless".
And you Protestants wonder why it's just your churches with all the rainbow flags waving. Ie not Catholic, not Orthodox. Go to Mass. Spend time with the Blessed Sacrament, spend time with Jesus.
Oo, good burn.

Civil Government: The Neglected Ministry
Something every Pastor should study and explain the importance of to his flock on a regular basis.
"Neglect one institution (the family, the Church, civil government ) and you inevitably impair the functioning of the other two, and with it the testimony of godly men to each other and to others. Neglect one institution and you reduce the ability of God's elect to glorify God, to teach, obey and enforce His law. Neglect one institution and you distort and retard the progress of the Kingdom of God."
I repeated that paragraph from post #708 because it rings so true. Look at the family today: fatherless homes/massive out of wedlock pregnancies, abortion; the Church: teaching what I call "limp wristed Christianity, ie. cheap grace theology and the fear of even mentioning sinful behavior, especially homosexuality. Heck, there are even churches that embrace sin ("loving" homosexual relationships) and hence the numbers of people who believe in God are declining rapidly. Then there's of course civil government, where even the Republican Party elects as President someone who stands for things that God abhors. No wonder politicians get a bad reputation, because people fail to hold them up to high standards.
