LORD's political system Vs. Roman's system

Our present day political system is inherited from the Romans. LORD's political system is described in Judges, Old Testament. The present day system cannot dispense justice promptly, and suffers many shortcomings. I hope we will discuss various aspects of LORD's system (Vs. Roman's system) and the feasibility of its implementation. But any topics of interests to Christians are also welcome.

My Vision for HK

I hope to see HK people live as one big family.

You see the Hawaiians, the Polynesians, the New Zealand Maoris, the Pacific Islanders, ..., they live as one big family, this I hope to see HK people to be too.

However, without a deep appreciation of GOD's political system, this cannot be done. For example, revere GOD, honor elders, and as GOD told the Israelites to do, gather TOGETHER 3 times a year (Festival of Passover, of Harvest, of Booth).

During the "Festival of Booth", they all CAMPED TOGETHER for one week! and shared their blessings with the poor/needy/widow/orphan in the form of "peace offerings" ( ~ sheep, cattle. Part of the meat go to servants of LORD, rest they eat.)

Could you imagine the friendship formed during the one week in the wild, living in tents, and meeting with neighbours you seldom have the chance to talk to in your daily hustle ?

Also, I hope to see HK people foster attitude of "compassion, purity of heart like a child, a resolute spirit of keeping the laws, a high sense of right/wrong, ...", and cleave to their Heavenly Father ( = "Heaven", "High Heaven", or "High King" of the Chinese).

A group cannot be a group if they are unwilling to keep the laws/commandments of GOD. No one wants to see betrayals, following secret orders from "leaders", ..., in a group. A group would simply break up under that.

I hope to see HK people learn the culture of our fathers, and read the books by Confucius and Mencius.
