I believe so Nick. 🙂

I myself would take an absolute ruler who is a God fearing man over a democracy that allows the worlds views to be impressed on us. Was Moses so bad? David? Joshua? I would even argue the Victorians had more moral ethics and understanding than we do today.

Agreed. However, the norm is wickedness in high places. The Middle East was ruled by kings…[Read more]

no government is needed in God’s kingdom for the rule is “love” godly love that is ;

do you know what godly love is ?

The very definition of a kingdom is a government. A kingdom has a king who rules with an iron rod over a sovereign state or area.

Christ will rule under God overall.

I think it is generally accepted that democracy is not the best form of government, but that it is the safest.

Dictatorships are way more efficient, but man is not worthy to rule with an iron rod in his current state.

Democracy is also very weak. If you imposed it on an Islamic country, and then the citizens freely voted for a dictator, then…[Read more]

Interesting questions grasshopper. I have never thought to question this, but it is good to do so.

I would like to quote Ephesians 5:25-27. Hopefully this has not already been discussed. Sorry if it has.

Perfect love casts out all fear and although I am not perfect of my own doing, I do not fear what man can do to me compared to what God can do. Man can destroy my body, but God can destroy my soul.
