Far from being about faith, Christian nationalism is about politics and hero worship

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Lately we have been hearing politicians and preachers telling us that we need to embrace “Christian nationalism.”

Superficially, the language of Christian nationalism may sound “Christian” and “patriotic.” However, at its core, it is an utter repudiation of the teachings of Jesus, and is a grave threat to our democratic republic.

Christian nationalism goes against the teachings of Jesus when it:

pushes the narrative that, out of all the peoples on the planet, God chose white America to be His special people to bring about His will upon the Earth.

1. NO SHIT

these religious freaks don't give a DAMN about the teachings of Jesus

2. Following Christian nationalism

is a denial of the gospel message of Jesus himself, at every point. Conflating the church and state for the church to use the power of the state to achieve its mission and purpose is idolatry, and it subverts Jesus' mission and purpose for the church. It is a denial of the spiritual power and of the character and nature of God.

There is not a single historical example of the church's success in achieving its mission and purpose by using the power of the state. When Constantine co-opted the Christian church, rescuing it from three centuries of persecution, he ended the most effective period of evangelism and conversion in its history. And it has never collectively regained that, with the possible exception of the freedom it has enjoyed under American democracy, where it is completely separate from the state.

3. I guess the only question I have is

Who do they plan to enslave, and who do they plan to kill?

4. Anyone they want and anyone they don't like

Even if it is over something like hugging your male friend in public while being a male. Bear in mind that this is about control. Because they are the anointed and therefore can do whatever they want. Of course, only white 'christians' and anyone they can convince to blindly follow them will be accepted in this 'nationalism'. Their insanity knows no bounds.
