Didn't really get an answer on this: "if God did have a country" here on earth today, what would it be like? What differences if any would there be as opposed to other countries?
God cannot actually have a country on Earth without His Direct Kingship or will involved -- so it seems, so it seems. I am sure, of course, an omnipotent God could orchestrate that if that was His Purpose with the world today... But it isn't.
I would say this, though... I am not a theologian... But:
- Spiritual growth remains in heaven; and so does free will.
- It would be a monarchy, but there would still be a sense of justice that transcended "rank," so to speak, and thus would also be egalitarian.
- There'd be no hunger or illness.
... and just to add to the fun here... There would be no divorce, no abortions, no willful homosexuality, and we'd all be cognizant of the fact that we will be vegetarians in the afterlife and will probably have very robust laws for the protection of animals.
I hope that can inspire some conversation.
