| Apr 12, 2020 at 6:50 | comment | added | Dottard | That is the problem - who determines what the will of God is? Actually, all such queries should be directed to myself as the only reliable source of God's will - that would stop the squabbles!! | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 5:34 | comment | added | salah | @Dottard the prayer of Jesus says: let be your will as in heaven, also on earth. | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 4:24 | comment | added | elika kohen | @Dottard - Jesus had said, "the Kingdom of God is upon you." And, the commandments of Jesus apply to people living, on Earth. The word "economics" is also present in the New Testament, (usually as "steward"), signifying that there was some form of accountability for those on Earth. | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 3:50 | comment | added | Dottard | Jesus is the King of a heavenly kingdom, NOT an earthly one. Therefore, the politics and economics applies to the spiritual realm not the earthly realm. | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 3:21 | comment | added | salah | @elikakohen could you post an answer? | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 3:19 | comment | added | salah | @elikakohen I agree with you. All of us know that Jesus is: - King, - Prophet, - Priest. How to be a King without Kingdom?, How to be a King without Political System? | |
| Apr 12, 2020 at 3:06 | comment | added | elika kohen | I am not certain how it can be argued, (from these text), that Christianity, (Jesus' commandments and the Kingdom of God), is not a political system. Regardless, the presupposition that Christianity is not a political system is not supported by these passages, but refuted by them, (God having authority over governments, etc.). At the very least, Jesus can be viewed as a political dissident, (against the Sadducees and Pharisees), and has had a profound impact on the political system of Israel, (specifically, the Rabbinate and supposed authority of the Oral Law). | |

| Apr 10, 2020 at 21:14 | comment | added | Dottard | Those who have used Christianity as a basis of a political system have caused great harm as even a casual glance at history tells us. Today, Christianity happily exists in ally types of political systems | |
| Apr 10, 2020 at 12:33 | comment | added | Nigel J | @salah You are trying to mix Church and State. History abundantly demonstrates that this is wrong. | |
| Apr 10, 2020 at 11:05 | comment | added | salah | thus you say that Christianity exists in the three types of economics: Communism, socialism and capitalism. And it doesn't adopt specific type of these three. | |
| Apr 10, 2020 at 10:50 | comment | added | salah | to regulate the economic stance and forbid oppression and injustice is one of priorities of religion. Any religion should have an economic stance. Any religion should have an economic point of view. | |
