A Theocracy does not Exercise Power

This is evident from Christ’s statement, “My kingdom is not of this world.” “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father.” When, therefore, the professed church exercises worldly power, that very act shows a rejection of God, no matter what the profession may be.
