The Bible defines every we need. 2 Tim 3:16
But again other sects of christianity which have similiar views are called dominionists....I heard about many sects in washington DC which follow Christ's rule over and above any of mans rule, and they would be a good group to get on board with this theocracy....
a book called "the family" by Jeff Sharlot
is a very interesting read I have read about half of it.
it talks about dominionism, or dominion theology and how it is currently affecting politics today, it traces dominionism into legislators world views and organizations and tracks dominion organizations dealing with bringing Christs' kingdom to earth.
and obeying His commands, I highly recommend it.
Here is a quote:
"
But at Ivanwald, or in a prayer cell at the Cedars, or in conversations with world leaders, the Family’s beliefs appear closer to a more marginal set of theologies sometimes gathered under the umbrella term of dominionism, characterized for me by William Martin, a religious historian at Rice University and Billy Graham’s official biographer, as the “intellectual heart of the Christian Right.” Dominionist theologies hold the Bible to be a guide to every decision, high and low, from whom God wants you to marry to whether God thinks you should buy a new lawn mower. Unlike neo-evangelicals, who concern themselves chiefly with getting good with Jesus, dominionists want to reconstruct early Christian society, which they believe was ruled by God alone. They view themselves as the new chosen and claim a Christian doctrine of covenantalism, meaning covenants not only between God and humanity but at every level of society, replacing the rule of law and its secular contracts. Since these covenants are signed, as it were, in the Blood of the Lamb, they are written in ink invisible to nonbelievers."
@Jamdoc another poster said something similar which I Will address to:
No need for dogma, just systematic theology. I don't give any honor to mans creeds, just the Bible. We would only legislate the Bible, but I can see a need for some type of systematic theology to dictate which laws still apply in the new testament etc. I would appoint 12 apologetics directors, ravi zacharius, norman geisler, June hunt, John ankerburg, and some others I can't rememeber. They would all have a single vote to see if a certain church was considered "orthodox.' Then churches would recieve federal tax dollars to take care of social issues such as the entire wellfare system as well as ophanages, and probably healthcare. I would put a lot of responsibility on the church, but they would have federal funding. the tithe money would go to the government because it was a theocracy. I would require a 10% tithe, but I would also require a 7 year jubilee. So they would average out. Every seven years they had one year debt free. And every 50 years they had all loans forgiven. So those little perks would help the economy. Also I would require the farmers to give the land 1 year rest in 7. You let it over grow and allow homeless or charities to glean from the land, and the rest you let fall. But they could not use equipment on it. They have to do it by hand. There are various old testament rules I would establish, but I am not fully fully all knowleagable so I don't exactly know how a theocracy would work, however I would pray over every law, and presumably fast. And all advisors would be required to read through the Bible every year. And all churches would be required to teach expositorily through the Bible every 7 -10 years. to gain federal funding.
another poster said:
well when you literally legislate "only" His words you sort of get around that problem. Correct? But ultimately it would boil down as to what laws were considered new testament and which were not. So I would appoint leaders from top seminaries to discuss that. But you don't just give up because it's hard. That does not set right with me, in any fashion.
-Agreed?
