Heaven's Form of Governing

[Fool]

was Jesus promoting meritocracy in the parable of the talents?


matthew 25:14-30

or in other words, consciousness could be thought of as a man who set out on a journey....before he went he entrusted his 3 aspects with a portion of his one gold coin, piece of eight, which was divided up into 3 lots and apportioned to each of these principalities, each to their measure of ability.
who were tasked to attend to his mortal substance and grow............
as another way to look at this story

Setting up a meritocracy is then setting up judges and kings to rule the masses.

Meritocracy sounds medieval. The promise of freedom and prosperity at their own hands is what oppressed people go for.

Why go backwards and repeat that old story?

Sorry, but if you want to convince me of a form of government, you'll have to do a lot better than, "Its what Jesus did". Jesus never successfully lead more than a dozen or so men in His lifetime.

When Jesus proves He can successfully lead a government of millions of people then I'll be interested.

Look at the Catholics and Rome. Not a kind of government Id like to be subservient to.
