Many people speaking on Christian nationalism who doesn’t really understand what it is. Too much intellectualism. I agree with your comment. If God doesn’t give a revelation, people won’t understand your comment. On the day of Pentecost, a nation was born in a day. That nation is all people truly in Christ. It is not defined by borders, witty inventions of man, or carnal motives of men. I don’t need to add nationalist to anything. Just acknowledging me as a Christian wanting to hear well done my good & faithful servant one day, is good enough for me. Now I want out of my belly to flow rivers of living water, that might bring others to Christ, regardless of their current religion, color, or country. I’m not wanting to control or oppress anyone. Only to lead them to Christ and let the Lord raise them up.

@@Symone77I'm wondering why you wrote you agree with Blue_Dun. If the country is an unimportant issue and controlling and oppressing others is bad, then to me it seems you're not only against CN, but you're against politics in and of itself, because politics is always and by it's nature about country, ideology, and about controlling and oppressing others. If politics and government and legislation is bad, it follows CN is, because it is a way to do politics and government and legislation. But IF politics is bad, why agree with Blue_Dun in the need of a defense of "a multi-cultural democracy", which is just another way of doing politics? Isn't a "multi-cultural democracy" bad, too, because it, too, is about country and control etc.? Then why defend it against those endangering it? Shouldn't you be largely neutral/indifferent towards the issue, wouldn't that be more consistent?

I am a Christian. Not everyone who names the name of Christ is a Christan. And not every church, organization, movement and individual who calls themselves Christian is. This is not a movement of Christ. The greatest hallmark of a Christian is love, as it is defined in 1 Corinthians 13. Another is humility. Christian Nationalism is a political movement veiled in the cloak of Christianity that wreaks of pride and hypocracy. It directly opposes the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. Christian Nationalists appear to be more interested in fueling their own agenda rather than Christ's agenda -- the Great Commission. When Jesus returns, He will then set up His Kingdom on earth. A holy nation. Christ will accomplish this Himself.

I too have been born and raised in America. My grandfather served in world war II. His son my uncle served in Vietnam, so there is a patriotic theme running through our family. I will make this clear I am not an America basher. In 1995 I started to read the bible. At that time I had entered in Fellowship with the Father and His Son. God's spirit was sent from the Father to me. I was Born Again that moment. The bible has washed me clean and renewed my mind, I became a new creation. All things are passed, behold all things became new. At that moment I knew I was on enemy territory, and Satan being the god of this world, is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Jesus tells me that to watch out for this evil one, and also that I will be hated by ALL Nations for His namesake. This is what has been handed down to me traditionally, not only me but millions here as well. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are God's building, temple. And to place my hand over my soul and pledge or swear an oath to a peace of material with some red and white stripes and has some stars on it. I had to repent to the Lord and say, My allegiance is to you Jesus, I trust in you that you have gone to prepare a place for me and one day will receive me unto yourself that where you are I will be also. Until he returns for me, he has assigned a task for me to do down here. If I complete this task, I will here those glorious words... "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy salvation. I am a sojourner just passing through, this world is not my home. I am a Christian residing in a place called America, I am a monarchist, I serve the King of kings, Jesus. I'm not an Republican nor a Democrat. My foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ and His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I do not stand on the sinking sand of the Constitution, nor do I place my trust in the Bill of Rights nor the Amendments. Those documents are not written in the Lambs book of life. I will trust in Him alone. I hope and pray that any who read this will truly come to God and reason with Him by His word. God bless you all. I love each and everyone of you !!!

But the 1828 Webster's dictionary also defines Americans as, "Descendants of Europeans born in America." How come Webster didn't say "anyone from anywhere that shares our values is an American"? How come it didn't say blacks and Asians and Hispanics are Americans? Because Americans clearly had an ethnic and racial identity which was white.

While the Gospel Church is indeed to transcend any national or ethnical border lines, the fact however still remains that God still looks upon nations as nations, and that He still judges nations as entities with national judgments. Hence, it is in the interest of every local church to preach the Gospel to its leaders and urge them, in as much as is lawful, to submit and conform their laws to the laws of Christ. Aside from Psalm 2, there is also this: And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Zech 14:17-20) Rain here denotes Gospel blessing (for literal rain, it is clear elsewhere that God is pleased to send it both on the just and unjust and so cannot be what is referred to here) and the Feast of Tabernacles of course refers to Christ, who is the Word that tabernacled with us. The plague here that is threatened (see Zech 14:12) is the rotting of the flesh, eyes and tongue, and who else could fail to see this judgment even now in action on the societies (including those that in the past had received rain, so to speak, but now have fallen far) whose language is filthy, whose eyes desire to look upon lewd and violent things and who defile their bodies with the most grotesque sexual perversions possible?

Christian Nationalism is the belief that Biblical Christianity should be ruling the (worldly) government. The role of the Christian is to preach, teach, and disciple souls that hear and receive the gospel of Christ. We are not called to collectively rule this world in which we live, but to point people to Jesus and trust in the guidance of his Holy Word. This world must run its course. There is a prophetic time table that will be followed. We do not rule until the millenial kingdom of Christ begins. It stands to reason then that to believe in Christian Nationalism, one must believe in the false doctrines of theonomy and post millenialism. I would call Voddie to remember his message on Gospel Clarity. Stop feeding the church fruit flavored slushies and give us the real fruit/food that satisfies.

@@Zaloomination yep. He’s appealing to the Oxford dictionary along with just about everyone else talking on the subject these days. The definition and purpose of nations in Scripture is at odds with what these brothers are positing as a bulwark against persecution and decay. The concept of nations, their inception, their place in the minds of the audiences of the prophets and psalmists is so foreign to our secular formulation of the modern nation-state that I’m genuinely surprised some of the wilder types haven’t picked up on the fact that the foundation these men are building on is made of the same rotting material they are trying to replace. I’d suggest you spend some time in Deut 32/Gen 6, 10-11/Psa 82/Acts 2 and then read Unseen Realm. I’ll put it as simply as I can here: the nations are fully ethnic and linguistic constructs in the minds of the authors. Yahweh divided humanity up into them as discipline for Babel, chose Israel for himself and gave the spiritual governance of these nations over to spiritual beings. These beings rebelled and turned these nations to their own worship rather than that of Yahweh. His choosing of one family, through Abraham, was the small beginning of a vast family made of chosen individuals from all the other nations to be his own. History ends with this family completed and resurrected, but only after a bitter war in both heaven and earth where all of humanity and the spiritual enemies throw off the shackles of nation-hood, uniting under one leader once again to crush Yahweh’s regenerate family beneath their boot heel. Yet Yahweh thunders from heaven and casts them all away, consummating a marriage with His Bride and creating a new heavens and new earth to rule over with her for eternity. The intention and purpose from the beginning. There is no room here for a modern nation state that coerces Torah observance from the unbeliever. There is no path toward a persecution-less safe space from which Christians take dominion over the 7 mountains of culture. It will either rot from the inside (as America has done; just like every other Christendom before her) or will be infected by a viral tyranny which quickly makes it twice the oppressor of the Bride as China or the USSR ever was. Focus on the mission of expanding the family by finding the chosen in every ethnic group and stop chasing over-realization of a glorious future hope in the next century. You just might accidentally build the Beast that John clearly saw uniting humanity against the one you call King.

@@Zaloomination indeed. Rev 5:9 is extremely clear about his family being made up of all the nations. That is essential to understanding the clear and tight ties between Babel and Pentecost that Luke makes. All nations will be a part of the kingdom, through the persons of every nation that are saved. What I am arguing is that these brothers are using an unbiblical definition of nation to twist Christ’s commission into permitting, nay commanding, Christians to take dominion over the modern nation state they live in. They believe this to be a pleasing aroma to God and are essentially attempting to realize Christ’s kingdom for him before he returns. They envision an end to all things where Christ is welcomed on a red carpet to the earth because they and their direct bloodline descendants (not spiritual siblings) were successful in eliminating evil through coerced Torah observance in unbelievers. Christ doesn’t care to have his children give him a nation’s load of worthless good deeds done by the power of human will. He desires that every tribe, tongue and ethnicity be represented in his family through a genuine conversion and faith.

@@bipslone8880 the definition of woke: the extreme dogma of the left, which cannot be questioned, debated, or challenged. I the supposition of this ideology is that the only thing that is meaningful in human existence is identity. All right, now to give an example. Letting grown men who have lived their entire lives as men, and spent their entire athletic lives as men, letting these male athletes suddenly “transition” to women and compete in women’s athletics is wrong. this Wolk, practice of leading male athletes compete as women is unfair, because of the physical differences between men and women. It is also immoral to make a lie, claiming that a man can transition into a woman’s body, and literally become a woman. That wasn’t much of a challenge. Try harder next time.
