Israel was also a Theocracy founded by members of the soceity that agreed to do the will of their "President" by covenant. We, as Christians, become part of that nation by accepting and doing the "Presidents" will as spoken to us by the "presidents" representatives, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Do you see this form of government in effect today in our country?
Sure they should, individually.
But the politicians make it their business to "force" everyone, at the point of a gun, to be concerned about things the politicians want people to be concerned about.
Government is interested in co-operation by force only. God is not. Therefore to take from someone what is there's, and it give to someone else for whatever high and mighty or nobel reason is still theft.
Jesus said render unto Cesar what is Cesar's. What belongs to Cesar? Nothing. What belongs to you? Nothing. What belongs to God? Everything.
Thus when a politician votes to take your hard-earned income and give to another, for whatever reason, it is government stealing from God what God has given you.
The government is not stealing from God, didn;t Jesus state render unto Caesar's what is Caesars?
By taking care of individuals and alleviating poverty it actually SAVES on taxes.
People get medical care through medicaid rather than being uninsured waiting to get medical care and using the emergency room.
Treating homeless people for disease lessens the chance of communicable diseases.
