You are correct to suggest that there is no godly way to guarantee any kingdom established in America would have God's blessing or that any king appointed by men would be blessed by God or that any method chosen by men to select a king would be approved by God.
Yes, of course I am. And, incidentally, it isn't my opinion either. Most of what we are discussing aren't matters of opinion.
I see a problem with your opinions of how a kingdom could be established, under what rules, and how Americans could insure that the appointed king would be blessed by God.
The rules are laid out in the bible and no one has suggested that "the appointed king would be blessed by God".
The point I am making, however, is that the likelihood of getting a righteous king goes way up if we illiminate as candidates for the position all those who do not profess Christ and have no understanding of the scriptures.
I see similarities between a monarchy with a king who answers to nobody and a dictatorship whose ruler answers to nobody.
Same can be said of a republic with a bloated bureaucracy and corrupted "representatives" who make the rules to suit themselves.
In the proposed system, the king would have no authority to enact new law (nor would anyone else, by the way.)
I think King David was chosen by God. I do not believe any king chosen by Americans could ever enjoy the privilege of being clearly chosen by God by God's direct intervention into the civil affairs of the nation like God was with Israel.
That wasn't the question!
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT KING DAVID WAS A DICTATOR WITH THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS?
Answer the question, Mark
Our system could be inferior to other systems but I am not convinced.
You've made no effort to even understand what it is we are proposing.
Europeans fled the tyranny of monarchs in Europe to establish a republic in America subject to a Constitution framed by the precepts of God.
Yeah, so what? We aren't talking about reestablishing a European style monarchy but rather a monarchy where the king is subject o a constitution framed by the precepts of God.
God will not be coming down to America to put His stamp of approval on any king of His choice as He did in the nation of Israel.
God didn't come down to America and put His stamp of approval on any President or set of representatives either, Marke. No one is suggesting that He would do such a thing.
How much time are we wasting debating issues that aren't even being proposed all because you can't be bothered to read the material that explains in detail that which we are proposing and why we are proposing it?
