What is a theocracy in Christianity?
A form of government in which God or a deity {God with Jesus placed as Kind of Kings on Earth and in the Heavens} is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, the God’s or deity’s laws being interpreted by the ecclesiastical authorities. A system of government by priests claiming a divine commission. There is no separation of church and state and open practice of only the prevailing religion is allowed. Under a theocracy, residents of the country typically do not have religious freedom and are not able to vote on governmental decisions.
Theocracy brings the country’s people together in a form of harmony over the problems that the nation is facing. This is due to the fact that they all base the foundations of their actions and opinions upon a particular holy book {the Bible in Christianity} that dictates their responses. Theocracy is just another Form of Dictatorship. Theocracies work to eliminate political polarization. That means there are fewer issues with filibusters and other forms of delay because everyone is on the same common ground from the start. Instead of debating ideas, theocracies typically discuss the best ways to implement processes instead.
What are the human rights issues?
It prohibits arbitrary deprivation of life; torture, cruel or degrading treatment or punishment; slavery and forced labor; arbitrary arrest or detention; arbitrary interference with privacy; war propaganda; discrimination; and advocacy of racial or religious hatred. The concept of human rights as seen in the Christian tradition is by virtue of being created in God’s image and the state of grace that gives all human beings inherent worth. In human rights language this translates to certain basic rights.
Paul, Christianity helped to cultivate the cardinal ideas of dignity, equality, liberty and democracy that ground the modern human rights paradigm. Christianity also helped shape the law of public, private, penal, and procedural rights that anchor modern legal systems in the West and beyond.
Every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to the basic needs of life. Human rights are innate i.e. every human being is born with them, and they can neither be given to you nor taken away from you.
