| 520 | |a The primary focus of this article is to evaluate political systems through a lens of biblical principles. This paper makes the case that political systems are not the ultimate hope for Christians because Christ’s coming kingdom fulfils that expectation. However, the Bible offers a model for morality that can be utilized to create a thriving government. This model is uniquely proven to offer success, and no other foundation for political systems is quite like it. For support of this argument, the ideologies of Karl Marx and George Washington will be examined at length. This unusual comparison will illustrate how worldview drives the creation of organized society. These two notable men also reveal the stark contrast between a biblical model of freedom and a secular model of control. The biblical model includes a necessary separation between church and state because citizens must be able to exercise their "God-given rights" for society to experience a peaceful order. This contrast will be discussed with emphasis on the welfare state and impact of global governance. Biblical principles and examples are interwoven throughout the content to support the argument that a biblically based political system offers a method for success, and these principles must be included in multiple aspects of governmental structure in order for the state to thrive. | ||
