Now that we know there are two governments, is the State over the Church or is the Church over the State? Neither question makes sense. It turns out that both governments are over the same territory. The State has most people convinced that they have a monopoly on government. If you're in the neck of the woods known as Oregon, Oregon will claim you as theirs if you remain in their territory long enough. The Church makes a claim to the same territory. Our Book says the earth belongs to the Lord and the fullness thereof.21 1 Corinthians 10:26 for "The earth is the LORD'S, and all its fullness." There are no territorial limits to Christ's government.
