'''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. |

There were numerous states in history that adopted Christianity as their state religion. The first state to legally declare Christianity its state religion would be Armenia, under King [[w:Tiridates_III_of_Armenia|Tiridates III]] (298-330 C.E./A.D.). Later, in the year 380 under Emperor Theodosius I, the [[w:Edict_of_Thessalonica|Edict of Thessalonica]] would make Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, influencing all European history to come. |

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. |
