smlafolabi: Image123: @smlafolabi When posting next time, easy does it. Capitalizations infers you're shouting Democracy or autocracy? Neither is better or right for humans Image123 is right, is this a debate or enquiry? Anyways, I am assuming you actually are/were thinking of "Theocracy" - a rule by GOD Theocracy is a government by God for His people, whereby GOD governs/rules as the supreme civil ruler Theocracy has always been the intention of God and has its origin as far back in Eden . . . The Isralites as a people and/or nation rejected its reintroduction on a flimsy excuse to be like the joneses (i.e. other nations) The re-introduction lasted from their deliverance out of Egypt until the appointment of king(s) 1 Samuel 8:6-7 KJV: 1 Samuel 8:19-20 KJV: Read the entire 1 Samuel 8 chapter for more details |

Addendum. @smlafolabi FYI here is Samuel's reference to the Isralites desire for autocracy 1 Samuel 12:12-13 KJV: |

A theocracy is actually a system of leadership by humans who [b]claim [/b]to be acting on divine guidance. This to me is just another form of autocracy. Only that in some cases, it may be a group of people claiming to speak for their deity. |
Re: DEMOCRACY OR THEOCRACY WHICH FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS BETTER FOR HUMMAN by e36991: 1:21pm On Jul 04, 2010 |
thehomer: @thehomer Erm but the theocracy referenced here is as that of Israel before the rise of kings Notice in Exodus 19:4-6 GOD's intention of speaking directly with the Isralites (i.e. refer to the below verse) Exodus 19:4-6: Also notice in Exodus 20:18-19 how the Isralites rebuffed the privilege Exodus 20:18-19: They preferred Moses speak with GOD on their behalf rather themselves converse with GOD directly Theocracy as it is deemed now, is different from the original (i.e. different from that of Israel's before the rise of kings) and no doubt over the ages changed (i.e. has its fair share of metamorphosis) |

I am sorry guys for the spelling error, my intention was to write Theocracy I was watching Germany vs Argentina Match when I posted this Topic. Its not a debate but a form of research to tap the brains of inteligent people like you in order to know the way forward for our planet With the trend around the world now, Autocracy have failed humans, communisn have collapsed, Democracy self, politicians can influence the mind of voters with money and sentimental adverts therefore our democratic system is not putting the right kind of people into office to govern human affairs. The deity ( Ifa, orunmila, or god of divination self dey collect bribe now cos I have seen instances in traditional selection of traditional rulers in my town whereby the candidacy of the candidate that god of divination was choose was upturned when the other rich candidate bribed the priest) In America the pioneer of democracy, their elections is not 100% free and fair " Algore vs George Bush " for example.I beg wetin be the right form of government for humans . I heard from some prophet that God future plans for Humans is Theocractic govt, But how will God achieve his purpose with all these money thirsty Prophets we have these days.I dont think that is possible in thesepresent system except God destroy these system and create another one. That new system self some say nah heaven we go dey while some argue that its on earth. I believe In democracy and the chance for people to choose who will represent them but I have seen that even when we choose the right candidate at times, there is something within the corridor of power that changes them from the saint they were to a monster they were not before election. I have a sincere political desire like everyone else, to change my enviroment for good and make the lives of common man better, but the question is, if we get there will we be changed by the system like our past leaders or remain incorruptible and face the wrath of the spirit of the system that dictate into your head to do things contrary to your integrity and original intention or die. Can a democratic system with free and just spirit be created? Is there any country practising it? Also is political ambition in harmony with God plans for Humans. lastly Why are all the Good people I know, running away from politics, living the affairs of human govt in the hand Bad guys? |

I'm beginning to wonder which kinda Government we have in Nigeria. Surely we dont pick our own leadership since most of the elections are rigged. We can't speak against corruption, we cant do anything about it. We cant question the whereabouts of our presidents when they go outta the country. Even when we question his whereabouts, we are continuously being lied to. We dont even know the financial situation of the country, what our money are being used for. . . . when we do know, we become private investors for corrupted politician's mansion houses abroad. Seriously, this country called Nigeria is a shiot hole. |

e36991: The OP did not state this. e36991: God should have known they would be scared but still reverted to fire works that look a lot like a volcano eruption. Why would people stand around listening to it? e36991: How is this different from what I stated? e36991: No. Before the rise of kings, prophets were the ones running things which is what I stated. |
