Question

divine right theory- it holds that the state is of divine creation and ruler is ordinary obtained by God to govern the people. Reference has been made by advocates of this theory to the laws which moses recieved at mount sinai.

Answer 1

Divine Right always need a very temporal army to back it up. Rather defeats the object, no?

Answer 2

This is a long discussion that will not fit here but I found an exellent explaination at the links below. Basically it says that a ruler derives his right to rule from God and that anyone who rebels against the ruler is rebelling against God. There are many justifications for this going back to biblical kings that were anointed by God (David for example is often referred to as God's anointed). I have never heard of that like to Moses but the laws of Moses are pretty non-specific and I am sure that you can justify most anything with them.
The push for this during the middle ages seems to me one way for the church to have more power by 'annointing' the ruler the ruler was indebted to the church for his position and therefore supported the church.
The concept of Divine Rights of Kings gets chopped off in France with Louis XVI along with his head in the French Revolution and the Glorious Revolution put an end to it in Britain.

Answer 3

It's a way to enforce the authority of rulers, mostly used for absolute kings, when absolute meant "without constraints".
According to divine right theory everyone must obey to the superior authority, like commoneers to nobles and stuff.
But then there's the king, who's the apex predator. But how is justified the kings? His ministers take authority from him, public administrators take autorithy from the ministers. The king apparently has no one able to invest him of autorithy.
Then enters God. God is outside our plane, he's just... God. You cannot, you musn't explain God. So kings claimed God gave him powers, even struck some deals with the Pope to enforce this rule and... it was done.
If you truly believe God, you must known that God shrugs off vanities, and the earthly kingdoms mean nothing to Him, it the soul who cares and lives. But it's a sociological question, so the Kings said they were emissaries of God, and people believed. Then, they were able to say that if you didn't want to follow them, you were against God, and they could tell the Pope to kick you out from the Church.
Eventually some Kings founded their religions, or joined other ones. They could kick you out their faith, and turn you into an outsider and a pariah. In such countries, you must follow the religion of the king.

Answer 4

The Divine Right Theory basically says that, because God created the state, the one who rules that state is accountable only to God. It also holds that those of royal birth have a "divine right" to rule - they are born in royalty and the people are bound to obey them as they would God, even if they are or are not fit for the throne.
The whole idea pretty much died out with the birth of the Reformation.

Answer 5

Not that many kings or queens though so, the divine right to rule was given by God to David, King Of Israel. It is the most valid form of divine right that I know of. Others who claimed divine right had a basis of belief and perhaps justification of the claim if the Bible was used as a source to make the claim.

Hebrews 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Though I would disagree with that verse being used for the purpose of proving divine right, I could see how arrogance and pure will would make it seem apparent for those who wanted to see it. Anything to keep what a ruler had, I suppose.

Answer 6

because of the fact the turtles could be bounded. Even countless ones might have constraints. i do no longer think of you're properly reading Dawkins; the complexity of a god might desire to be to do with the inherent nature and implications that a god might desire to have, which incorporate how and why this way of god exists. The universe might desire to be defined and understood via an interlocking bounded set of theories, so no countless regression of factors could be required. If the universe (and not making use of a god) might properly be so defined, then it is a less complicated clarification than one that includes a god. If the universe we be conscious demands a god to describe it, then god that's. Occam's Razor. Edit: The Higgs Boson has been defined, yet its nonetheless a hypothesis. that's postulated as a fashion to describe measured effects. efficiently it is been developed from a placeholder; 'something' is had to greater healthful into an information hollow, and the Higgs boson is the finest clarification for that hollow filler. If we locate there is not any such boson, then it is returned to the drafting board for a greater advantageous hollow filler.

Answer 7

I am not sure how Divine Right ties in to Moses - this sounds like "the divine right of kings" theory that was part of the centuries long development of philosophies that eventually brought the French and American Revolutions. Philosophes like Hobbes, Locke, etc.
The divine right of kings was the belief had the King had authority to rule given by God and was answerable only to God, not man. It was part of the "Enlightenment" period in Europe.. 1550 -1850.
Google "divine right of kings" and there is lots of info. there.

Answer 8

The laws of "God" are natural. Any reference to God by government is an attempt at better control. It tends to work well too.

Answer 9

Basically "divine right theory" is kn own as the imperial presidency. President Bush has found that in many ways he can govern by executive order. In foreign affairs he has the nerve to tell other people that they should get rid of their current leaders.

Amazingly, with Americans turning into a new silent majority and Congress into a bunch of obeisant lawmakers, he is getting away with such acts.

The lawmakers are worried that Bush will play the "patriot card" in the November elections to attack dissenters and opponents. The Democratic leaders have already rolled over. They have given him a blank check by passing the USA Patriot Act, which permits outrageous invasions of privacy, and by seconding Bush's foreign policy with a weak "me too."

The intolerance of dissent expressed by Cheney is symptomatic of the assumption of imperial warmaking powers by George W. Bush and his coterie of close advisers. Bush himself acknowledged this trend in his response to a number of senior Republican leaders--including noted conservatives like former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft and former Secretary of State James Baker as well as US special Mideast envoy, retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni--who have expressed qualms about his plans. "I am aware that some very intelligent people are expressing their opinions about Saddam Hussein and Iraq," he told reporters at his Texas ranch on August 16. "I listen very carefully to what they have to say. But America needs to know, I'll be making up my mind based upon the latest intelligence and how best to protect our own country plus our friends and allies."
