Theocracy vs Democracy
Is it biblical for the Church to be involve in politics? This is a question I believe many christians have at one time or the other pondered over. Does the word of God say anything about this issue? Well come with me as I begin to unveil what God's word says about this issue.
The first point I would like to make is that the Church and nations or states are two different and separate entities. The Church is under a system of government called Theocracy(a form of government in which God is recognized as the supreme civil ruler or a system of government by priests claiming a divine commission). This is very evident through out the scriptures whether in the old or new testament . God rules through his servants(Priests, Prophets, Kings Judges, Apostles, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists. Gen 3:1-15, Eph 4:10-13).
