'''Christian Theocracy''' is a culturally right-wing ideology occupying the upper center section of the Authoritarian scale of the political compass, depending on the type of Christianity (Calvinists on the far right, Catholics center left, etc.). It believes that a strong, Christian government is necessary for the salvation of mankind. They do not want a separation of church and state, moderates believe in living according to the Ten Commandments along with the teachings of Jesus Christ while radicals might go as far as crusading against non-Christians.

 

==History==

 

The New Testament gives no guidelines for governing a nation, but the Old Testament does describe the existance of theocracies under men such as [[File:Moses.png]] Moses, [[File:Joshua.png]] Joshua, and King Josiah (for more information, see [[File:JewTheo.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy#History|Jewish Theocracy § History]]). On another related note, the New Testament does describe the concept of governments (regardless of them being Christian) as appointed by God. Paul the Apostle wrote that "... there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God" (Romans 13:1, NKJV). This, along with the Old Testament, is the scriptural foundation for a theocracy in Christianity.

===[[File:ChalcedonTheo.png]] Chalcedonianism===

Chalcedonian Christianity is the umbrella term for the Christian groups that accepted the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AND the Council of Nicea in 325, the common term for what can be considered pre-schismatic Christianity from which both Catholicism and Orthodoxy originate. On the council it was decided that the nature of Christ is dual, both human and divine: '''Dyophysitism.''' It encompasses modern Catholicism and Orthodoxy, as well as the protestant denominations that recognize the two councils. In some ways, it can also be a term that refers to a potential reunion of Catholic and Orthodox churches back into a single Church, a potentially pejorative term: Cathodoxy, that some may embrace as a Christian identity as opposed to just Catholicism and/or Orthodoxy.

===[[File:ProtTheo.png]] Protestantism===

[[File:ProtTheo.png]] [[Protestant Theocracy|Protestantism]] is a variant of Christianity revolving around the justification of God only, holding The Bible in regard as The highest form of Christianity, and opposition to hierarchical institutions of Christianity such as the Pope (except for Anglicans, who have the King of the United Kingdom as Supreme Governor). It is practiced mainly in Germanic-language nations like the [[File:Cball-Germany.png]] Germany, [[File:Cball-NordCouncil.png]] Nordic countries, [[File:Cball-Commonwealth.png]] Commonwealth Realms and [[File:Cball-US.png]] the US
