To Christians...Theocracy?

[Ravenshire]

Wicked people will no longer be running things.

They will if your gawd is in charge.

As I said, a REAL theocracy has never existed.
I don't care that the meaning is taken to be "A religious dictator".
I am waiting for the real one that is coming, and No i would not want a theocracy in your terms, it would be bad.
They all have been bad.
The reason the US govt was divided in 3 parts was to spread out the power so widely that one dictator could not arise.

I was asked about God being in control now.
He isn't.
God is in the same position as the moderator of a playground when the kiddies are playing.
A lot goes on that the moderator forbids.
The mod can come in and exercise authority though. And God does that also.

I just noticed this topic.
There has never been a real theocracy.

The Theocracy that is coming will be delightful.
Slavery will not exist. Neither will war.
Wicked people will no longer be running things.

What part of the Inquisition did you miss? Apparently, all of it.

Here is a refresher course:

King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile established the Spanish Inquisition in 1478. In contrast to the previous inquisitions, it operated completely under royal Christian authority

He's end times wanking again. Hoping for god to set things straight. That's his version of theocracy.

Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing putting Drich on ignore. Then I read that filth. "the modern lie that all slavery is bad and a person living in modern soceity should not benfit from it in any way shape or form,"

Any person who could post this is vile. People are not property. Ever.

Instead of criticizing him why not ask what he meant, I understand and if you wanted to understand you could have actually asked, even a PM would have worked.

Here's one thing he was speaking to, there was a young boy who wanted to become a chair builder, not any chair builder but one of the best producing then one at a time. He talked to the man who was the best at that time and agreed to work for him, free. The boy sleep in the loft of the shop and fixed meals on a wood burning stove in the shop. He did this for several years and now is one of the best in the world. Both parties benefited from this agreement, it use to be called indentured servitude. Some would call it slavery, Brian Boggs calls it the opportunity of a life time. I actually considered this not long ago, but being disabled it wouldn't have worked.

Uhhh... pretty sure you just described an apprenticeship. Not even close.

You mean like Sodom and Gomorrah or the flood?

Follow his recent posts. Accoding to him, we will soon witness Jesus's second cumming.

I should get out my umbrella then.

No pay and no support with lodging and food, an apprenticeship has all three.

Room and board can easily be considered pay. Support? Elaborate please.
