Does America need God? w/ Pastor Doug Wilson | Mat Kim

[@PBench234]

Pastor Wilson offers fresh perspective and inspiration to Christians about what are we against. "politics doesn't save us, that needs to be saved" It is an amazing interview.

[@manager0175]

Doug denies wanting to dissolve separation of church and state. However, Doug also wants the Nicaean Creed included in the Constitution. Quite a contradiction for Doug.

[@thirstypilgrim97]

@@manager0175you misunderstand “ separation of church and state”

[@JustinHonaker]

@@manager0175There is a difference between a separation of the institutional jurisdictions of church and state (which Doug fully supports), and the separation of religion and society (including the civil government) (which Doug does not support). And I would agree with Doug.

[@manager0175]

@@JustinHonaker You said: "There is a difference between a separation of the institutional jurisdictions of church and state (which Doug fully supports),". Oh really? Then why does Doug want the Nicaean creed in the Constitution? Is that not the very definition of blending religious and institutional jurisdictions? Here is the question Doug has not yet answered: DOES DOUG SUPPORT PROJECT 2025?

[@JustinHonaker]

@@manager0175 Your statement, “…blending religious and institutional jurisdictions”, makes no sense.

[@scottturner8367]

Outstanding conversation! I am beginning to see the younger people, mostly friends of my children, are beginning to seek Christ out and it makes my heart swell. It’s dawning on them that something very important is missing and his word is getting through.

[@Ca_Tule_Ninja]

Matt, I'm so happy to see this conversation happen! Crazy to hear about how you and Doug have a past family connection. Doug's stories about your parents were very touching. Keep up the great work.

[@PhilJonesin]

Incredible interview. Awesome to see fruit from faithful service decades ago.

[@manager0175]

Doug said: "Christ or chaos"? Apparently Doug forgot about the "European wars of religion" that directly resulted from the first Reformation. As James Madison said: “The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.” Historically speaking, nothing is more chaotic than Christians with political power.

[@MansterBear]

Having followed Doug for years, it’s crazy how all the sudden he’s seems to be less of an unmentionable. I keep seeing him pop up on other channels I don’t follow (like this one). Good to see

[@manager0175]

I have not been a Doug follower for very long. But what bothers me is the major inaccuracies he puts forth in nearly every video. That does not help the cause of Christ.

[@kaylar3197]

[@JonasThente-ji5xx]

The world needs more God and Jesus.

[@manager0175]

I agree. However, I do not want more God and Jesus in government. Like Melville said "..better a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian..". Christians with political power have always been more corrupt and incompetent than their secular counterparts. Separation of church and state is one of the genius ideas of our founding fathers. Doug will destroy it.

[@DingleBerryMilkshake]

Nobody needs your imaginary friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The correlation is clear and strong: The more secular tend to fare better than the more religious on a vast host of measures, including homicide and violent crime rates, poverty rates, obesity and diabetes rates, child abuse rates, educational attainment levels, income levels, unemployment rates, rates of sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy, etc. You name it: On nearly every sociological measure of well-being, you’re most likely to find the more secular states with the lowest levels of faith in God and the lowest rates of church attendance faring the best and the most religious states with the highest levels of faith in God and rates of church attendance faring the worst. CHRISTIANITY IS A DANGEROUS MENTAL ILLNESS!!!!!

The pre-WWI world Doug envisions has been destroyed. It will never come back. And we are better off without it.

"Better a sober cannibal than drunken Christian." That quote from Melville sums up the problem for me. Historically, nothing is more corrupt or more incompetent than Christians with political power.

The separation of church and state is to keep the government out of church, not the church out of government

[@PanhandleFrank]

It’s both. Keeping the church out of civil government ≠ keeping Christians or morality out of government.

[@unkown312]

​@@PanhandleFrankNo.

[@PanhandleFrank]

@@unkown312 Please elaborate? I'm not sure if you're opposed to any kind of morality whatsoever in government, or if you support church being in government.

[@unkown312]

@@PanhandleFrank if we read our bibles and pay attention to how the apostles move, we would see that they were very much involved with politics. There was a reason they were all killed the way they were. They made an impact in the complete culture of the time.

[@PanhandleFrank]

​@@unkown312 I agree. The apostles _as individuals_ were involved in politics and had a vast impact on their culture. They prophetically spoke truth to power. That's not the same as arguing for the involvement of _the institution_ of the Church in the State. Both institutions are servants of God, but have different jurisdictions and tools of rule. And again, morality must exist in civil government. So when you initially told me, "No" ... what did I say that you were disagreeing with?

People need to do the great commission, instead of just community works.

[@PanhandleFrank]

Do you suppose that “community works” are somehow _counter to_ the Great Commission, always and in every case?

[@mGw1n777]

It is that simple. Are we going to pick the side of King Solomon, King David, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Job, Peter, Esther, Zaccheaus, Samson, Noah, King Manasseh, etc. or pick the side of King Herod, Pharaoh, Herodias, Jezebel, Sodom and Gomorrah, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Ananias, Sapphira, etc.? There are two political parties exactly behaving like those people from the Bible. God bless you. Just my two cents. Have a great day.
