Reading from John 2, John 5 - showing that we cannot trust "forefathers". In John 5, the Lord rejects false teaching of Sabbath law. In John 8, the Lord rejected false teaching of stoning people. The Lord never gave His Word to generate a manmade government or stoning laws. He simply is telling us right from wrong. God's people should never need a Civil Magistrate because we are not the world. The world are the wicked ones who do not have God as their King. We were never called to have governments like the world has. Remember 1 Samuel 8 please.

During the first five years of Calvin’s rule in the small town of Geneva, 13 people were hanged, 10 decapitated, and 35 burned. Seventy-six were cruelly driven from their houses. The prisons were so crowded that the head jailer “informed the magistrates he could not find accommodation for any more prisoners” (The Right to Heresy, p. 227). 31 People were put into prison for smiling while attending a baptism and sleeping during a sermon and playing skittles or cards and talking about business matters after a church service. They were forced to do various forms of penance for skating or praising a translation of the Bible not approved by Calvin. A man who protested Calvin’s doctrine of predestination was “mercilessly flogged at all the crossways of the city and then expelled” (The Right to Heresy, p. 230)"https://www.wayoflife.org/free_ebooks/downloads/Protestant_Persecution_of_Baptists.pdf
