Pastors respond after Trump says Christianity is under attack

Former President Donald Trump is stoking fears that Christianity is under attack, a theme many Christian nationalists believe is true. CNN's Donie O'Sullivan reports from Wisconsin where the movement has united three pastors to combat what they say is a threat. #CNN #News

[@xjarheadjohnson]

And a true American knows religion does not belong in our government. The Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil governance. The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793) _“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the Senate June 10, 1797* ....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything. A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli. The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote: _"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". _*_The language itself makes a clear direct statement that our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_* _"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"_ *- James Madison 4th president* (A Memorial And Remonstrance, On The Religious Rights Of Man: Written In 1784-85)

Which bible are we talking about? There are several in use and many translations. And as to putting Christ (i,e 'the King) back in to the country where he belongs..... That would be Judea, right? Incidentally 'Satan' (more correctly 'The Satan' is not an individual but a functionary in the court of the Council of the Sons of God. Rather as 'The District Attorney' is a role which may be filled by different people. His function is to put the contrary case, rather as The Devil's Advocate did in mediaeval heresy trials. He is called 'The Deceiver' because he does not accept the primary case but, like council for the defence, attempts to defeat it. (Read some of the gospel statements about 'Satan' and you will see this alternative interpretation fits like a glove) The Book of Job is probably the oldest book in the Hebrew Bible and is derived from a very ancient text. It is also an early example of the way in which a nomadic people like the Jews/Israelites picked up good stories in their wanderings around the middle-east, their exiles or captivities and then adapted them. By the by, 'The Hebrew Bible' is also called 'The Old Testament'.

You honestly can't vote Democrat and call yourself a Christian. Not because Trump said so, but because it goes against core teachings of the Christian Church. Democrats support abortion, transgenderism, and homosexuality, all things that go against Christ's teachings, and so a Christian cannot in good faith vote Democrat because then they would be supporting those three anti-Christian stances. If the Democrat party were to change their views on those matters, then yes Christians could in good conscience and in line with the faith vote Democrat. Until then, it's a hard truth.

This is why the Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil governance. The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793) _“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the Senate June 10, 1797* ....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything. A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli. The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote: _"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". _*_The language itself makes a clear direct statement that our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_* _"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"_ *- James Madison 4th president* (A Memorial And Remonstrance, On The Religious Rights Of Man: Written In 1784-85)

I’m so glad real Christian pastors are speaking out about a national religion. Look what the early church people did to Native Americans. I’m a full blood native who was stolen by church people and put in an orphanage. Because I was so young I have very little memory of who I was and where I came from. It wasn’t until I graduated high school and went to college that I even met other Indians and found my birth family. That kind of christianity is Christian nationalism and it’s wrong. They tried to make me into a white person, knowing I could never pass as one. There are good true Christian people in America but what Marjorie Taylor Greene and Trump are pushing is not true Christianity. Americans need to know the difference.

No. They speak up. But the news is rarely interested in covering it. Hateful idiots are more entertaining. Plus, progressive Christians tend to also actually believe in our country's idea of separation of church and state. Does Biden go around bragging about his faith? No. But he's been practicing his faith for decades. Trump is the one who is bringing his faith into politics. Likewise, fundamentalists will preach about politics in their churches. But many progressive churches believe the church shouldn't be involved in politics. We don't allow the American flag in our sanctuary. We are pro America, but when we enter the sanctuary we enter as children of God, not as part of any country or clan.
