Firstly, you must have the judges in order to keep God’s justice. The divine government pays attention firstly to justice. Even today, any government on this earth that does not practice justice, that government will sooner or later be over, right? A strong government must be one that is built upon justice. Everything must be just. Everything must be fair. Everything must be right. Right? This is justice. ( LSM radio transcription)

The LSM/LC brand of theocracy is a skewed one. It is not recognized when a brother is under Christ's headship. Rather the LSM brand of theocracy is according to group think (aka being one with the brothers). It is this form of group think who claim to determine God's government.
