None taken, what exactly is theocracy, I did a little test in the last 3 days, and as long as I don't say anything nobody else says anything, kind of making me wonder what to do? Almost as if arguing is fun or something? Or debating?
Thanks for sharing that. It was informative, to me.
When God created humans, according to the Bible, he became responsible for their life, meaning he was obligated to be their lawgiver, and ruler.
His creation would be obligated to express appreciation to their maker. Enter worship - the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
So 1. the creator deserves worship. It is his right, and 2. humans rightfully owe the creator worship. It's their obligation.
As you can see, the latter is not one that is very appealing to many, and this goes back to the first rebels. First... an angel. Then, the first humans, all the way to the present, chose to be their own god - obligated to no one but self. In other words, they are their own lawgiver, and ruler - god.
The result - man is destructive to himself and others, because he makes his own rules, which lacks true wisdom. So the world is a mess, and getting messier... as we can see.
However, from Abel, one of Adam's sons, to the present, there have been persons who submit to God, as their ruler and lawgiver, and they feel obligated to worship their creator, as he is deserving of it. They recognize they owe their very existence to God.
These are the ones who offer pure worship, acceptable to God, and it brings them peace - in their mind, and life.
I hope that was helpful.
