Polis and Paideia / Religion from the Perspective of the Historical Development of the Biblical Religious Sense of Belonging

Summary/Abstract: Following the logic of the Biblical governmental system, politics was not allowed to contaminate religion; instead, like in other ancient states (Ugarit, Syria, Palestine), it simply had to consolidate national feeling and territorial belonging, based on which and within whose framework, the people could practise their faith in Yahweh, the Only God, in full freedom. The birth of a political system based on society voluntarily renouncing its most basic rights, established by God in the Torah, only for a utopian peace with civil security blatantly contradicts the politics revealed by the Scriptures: Christian doctrine requires abiding by political power and not showing an obedience that precedes spiritual corruption (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13: 1-7; 1 Timothy 2: 1-3; Titus 3: 1-2; 1 Peter 2: 13-17). This is precisely why, hoping to correct certain deviations that still exist, we put forward an orthodox vision of theocracy-the sole form of government revealed by God. In this context of Biblical theocracy, the Constitution of a state must be based on the moral values of the Law of God. Leaders must faithfully bow to God and the rights of ordinary people, foreseen by the Torah (the Word of the Lord).
