Gods form of governing is a patriarchy and not a democracy . Infact the Will of the people has been the point of contention since Eden but our government is designed after man’s collective Will so you have all the insanity .
One place to see it stick out is look what democracy does with issues like transgender or homosexuality or abortion or as Christian’s the religious issues like making laws that approve of worshipping other gods . All essential in a democracy of equality but all opposed to Gods Will . These things are all contrary to Gods Will expressed in his word and also why he’s going to utterly devastate this place when he returns
it’s all so far from the Will of God at this point the world even itself is opposed to its creator and the corrupt Will of man drives it … and yet that’s become the law rather than Gods word

I thought God was a king ?
“Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:13 KJV
what im saying is Gods form of government is a patriarchy hes a king and we are his people. His kingdom isn’t a democracy he’s the king and rules soveriegnly.
And the king has made his irrevocable decrees
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
That’s his form of government I eas getting at he’s the king and rules a kingdom . If the subjects begin voting and changing his decrees based on groups you have a form of government that’s driven by the Will of these folks
“The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
Psalm 14:2-3 KJV
religion works on a consensus like democracy but chrirtianity is about Gods everlasting kingdom and us inheriting our part in it because of Jesus

God is sovereign, but He is also love.
The harmonization of these truths per Matt. 20:25-28 makes me think that in heaven
Jesus will allow us to sit on the throne while he washes our feet.
God's commands express His will,
and His will is for everyone to love,
which is why His yoke is light (Matt. 11:29-30).

Yeah bro my only point to begin with was God doesn’t run a democracy its his kingdom. Jesus rules creation which we are part of…..
Again it’s actually like this
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
Daniel 7:13-14 KJV
He the king not an elected president by the people but sent from heaven by God the father. There is no house and senate or co equal branches there’s a ruler and his people. a kingdom

I merely point out that the fruit of the Spirit is love, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control,
and there is no rule against such as these, (Gal. 5:22-23) so let us not envision heaven as a situation where
Jesus is enforcing rules but rather where we who are elected are reflecting divine love. Glory!

Yeah I don’t understand why you’re telling me though . I was discussing the op government and the Bible …..
“Not like Jesus is enforcing rules but rather where we who are elected are reflecting divine love.”
Again nothing eas said about enforcing anything read this scripture lol you might understand what I’m saying
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
Daniel 7:13-14 KJV
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
that’s my position and what I was talking about God does not rule through democratic rule or hold elections and votes . He is a king and rules his kingdom the people in his kingdom have to submit to Jesus and acknowledge he is the lord serve him willingly not have him “ enforcing “ rules lol he’s a king his word is the subjects law in his kingdom
“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
mans designs and ideas about God will never be better or more clear than what we find in the gospel of the kingdom of God
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7 KJV
everything is subject to God including all of us
