Heaven is an absolute monarchy with a centrally planned economy.
>>18123955Like North Korea (communist absolute monarchy of the Kim dynasty) ?
>>18123955The monarchy described in the Old Testament is more similar to the Roman Republic than to medieval Germanic monarchies.At least, that is the consensus among Greek, Persian, Roman, and Egyptian sources, as well as scholars who have read the Histories, Judges, and Kings.
>>18123955It's irrelevant to describe heaven as a system of government as it has no death or need for resources.
>>18123955Yes

>>18124044Physical resources maybe.But God has an obsessive need for your love and obedience.
>>18124172Seeing that he has no needs at all, that's gonna be a no. Though I understand why a reader would interpret adamant insistence as an obsessive need. The insistence is for our sake.
>>18124172I see no reason for love and obedience to be in short supply when material dynamics are thrown out the window. Especially when sin itself is described as absent from heaven, so human aspects like pride and greed are also excluded.
>>18124172that wasn't god that was your mommy using god as a tool
