Yes, But It’s Not Big Government…
Jordan Peterson says church is distinct from big government because the church:
- can’t tax
- doesn’t have a military
- can’t conscript you
- can’t throw you in jail
BUT it used to be able to do ALL of those things.
And don’t think for one minute that organized religion wouldn’t love to once again get in bed with government so that it can have the power to enforce its own orthodoxy!

God’s Formula for Sanctification in the Believer (a.k.a. What WE are to do!)
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
– virtue;
– and to virtue knowledge;
– and to knowledge temperance;
– and to temperance patience;
– and to patience godliness;
– and to godliness brotherly kindness;
– and to brotherly kindness love.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”
~ 2 Peter 1:5-9
