Christianity attempts to employ flawed humans strengthened by perfect divine power to address flawed humans. The Bible makes clear how to spot the character traits, habits and nature of those that rely on God for their strength and those that do not. By answering the problem of human nature through the introduction of an external factor - divine influence -the Bible is able to separate theory and implementation in a way that it is not possible to do with Communism.
