First is Christianity a theocracy friend belief? This isn't arguing that their haven't been Christian theocracies, but is the belief structure friendly to a theocracy

From the start according to the bible

God pretty much ran his chosen people lives, with one person acting who was Gods representative to rule on how Gods chosen were following Gods law. This changed during Moses time.

Gods people multiplied and it was agreed with Gods approval that underlings would judge the easier cases and the harder cases would be brought to Moses.
Exodus 18 (King James Version as is most all or all citations here)

It was finally suggested and Moses did appoint helpers to handle the lesser cases.

Soon the people wanted regular King to rule over them. Though God was not happy, but agreed.
1 Samuel 8 (King James Version)
