Thread for discussion of a Christian theocratic state. First, is such a state a good idea?
Canadian anon argued against:
>This idea it's self is antithetical to the teachings of Christ... this idea is the very concept of Babylon.
>The kingdom of heaven is ruled by truth, the first come last and the last come first. Those who exalt themselves are to be brought low, those who lower themselves and serve are the greatest among us. Even the greatest of us in heaven is the least of us.
>The kingdom is not taken by force, those who rule do so by example, not force and god shall choose them.
Instead, Christians should support
>structured anarchy with community living, christians have to create this by example. They have to SHOW why it is desired and wage war against those that defy Christ in the manner Christ showed. (love them, good acts, teaching, living by example, not condemning/persecuting/judging them, and if they demand violence for your disagreement than be willing to die for them to try to save their lives and show them the strength of those who deserve to bring heaven into existence)
>They all can be saved, the disciples of Christ who love him know this, but the first will come last and the last will come first. Death and sin will have to be cast into the pit, so those who face the judgment might lose their soul, but they will be borne anew, free from sin with god's law written onto their hearts, and the scent of the destruction of evil will be like a sweet savour to the lord for eternity.
>WE have to be righteous and follow the example of Christ to inherit the kingdom. We have to be perfect to manifest the perfect society.
