No, no. This has been Moore's schtick forever. Crafting doublespeak that engenders semi-acceptance by pagan D.C. while at the same time managing to stay on the SBC payroll was his stock-in-trade.

Whether or not the January 6th incident was in accordance to scripture or not, I will leave for brighter minds to ponder, but it WAS in accordance to the Declaration of Independence, so for all of those proud, patriotic Americans who are appalled at what happened that day, I invite them to look up a term that they may not be familiar with: hypocrisy.

As a Christian not from the United States, I think both the American Revolution and January 6th were in violation of Romans 13.

[@lawrencestanley8989]

@M G Violation of scripture? I believe so, yes. While slavery is certainly not an ideal situation, there is nothing inherently sinful about it, this is why you will find scriptures for its regulation, but not for its abolition. The Southern States recognized the sinfulness of the Atlantic Slave Trade, and this is why it was made illegal in the Confederate Constitution (although there were Southern States that had done so prior to secession); I might add also that this abolition was accomplished first in the South, only later followed by the North.

The biggest mistake that our founding fathers ever made was to gain independence from a king overseas, only to subjugate themselves to another one just across town, but call him a "president."

Praise the LORD!" Psalm 149:6-

[@possumhunter1179]

Or, have Russell explain this: "'This proverb has been used by tyrants for a very long time: 'what matters is will, not reason.' In other words they consider themselves bound by no laws … Well, certainly that old saying is utterly arrogant (to go by will instead of reason), but nevertheless it is the accepted procedure in the .. Roman Empire… For rulers judge everything to be legitimate for themselves and do not consider themselves bound by the law of God, nor do they consider His worship to pertain to themselves. Herein they are terribly mistaken...Even though the power of earthly princes be great in this world, still they must realize that they are ministers and servants of God and the people...since kings and princes are bound by covenant to the people, to administer the law in truest equity, sincerity, and integrity; if they break faith and usurp tyrannical power by which they allow themselves everything they want: is it not possible for the people to consider together taking measures in order to remedy the evil?' ' (Darius) in lifting up his horns against God, had himself abrogated his power.'" John Calvin (page 66-69, Sermon XXIX on I Samuel in Calvin Studies Colloquium & Institutes of the Christian Religion 4.30.32).

[@wild7goose]

I’m pretty sure that Russell Moore is NOT upset about what happened at/to the actual Capitol last year. He’s upset that people are using the name of Christ to justify their UNJUST behavior. Moore is directly opposed to the vast majority of Biden’s Democratic platform. So his frustration with the Jan. 6th insurrection wasn’t about politics or nationalism. So again, his frustration is about men and women using Christ’s name to justify their unjust behavior. I’m afraid I have to disagree with Dr. Wilson on this one.

[@JonJaeden]

Moore has facilitated the movement of Christian votes to the Democrats, the party of abortion. He can't possibly be "directly opposed to the vast majority of Biden's Democratic platform" when his actions promote election outcomes that make that platform impossible to overturn.

[@wild7goose]

@@JonJaeden Would you say there is a difference between being *pro Biden* VS *anti-Trump* ? Because unless you can provide some type of evidence of Moore specifically encouraging Christians to vote Democrat, I don’t have much reason to believe you. I agree that Christians would have a very difficult time voting for Democrats and using their faith as a justifying reason. Publicly stating that Trump doesn’t represent the Christian moral ethic and taking issue with that seems to me to be different from endorsing Biden because you agree with his political ideology.

[@tristatehomesllc599]

[@JonJaeden]

So, you'll only accept an overt call for Christians to vote Democrat as evidence of Moore's chicanery? Years of using his position to make Democrat talking points and his own history as a Democrat won't convince you? Darn The reality of the U.S. political system is that it is structurally and inherently a two-party one. The next government is determined on election day, unlike a parliamentary system where the government is formed with a lot of post-election horse trading. Next election we're going to have either a Democrat or a Republican, like it or not. There are consequences to that. Trump may have been a sketchy unknown in 2016 but by 2020 had shown himself to be the most prolife and most pro- religious liberty president since Reagan. That mattered because it was either going to be him or an anti-Christian pro-abort Democrat in 2021. Moore's constant criticism of Christian traditionalists and Republicans on leftist media does nothing to convince their heathen viewers. They're not Moore's target audience. He's making distinctions between Christianity and a party pushing manifest evil fuzzy and maybe not so important by repackaging their talking points in Christianize for Christians ... much like Satan repackaging God's command for Eve in the Garden. Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas McArthur and George Patton each had a mistress during the war. In 1939 it would have been appropriate to drum them out of the service for such moral failings. In 1944, not so much. It would have been giving aid to the enemy under the cover of moralism. Moore took the 1944 path and he shares responsibility for the consequences.

However, you seem to have the same intuition/understanding of what Russell really meant and that maybe Doug is almost blindly misunderstanding Russell. Isn’t Russell just upset that people took the Capitol in the name of Christianity and Jesus? He’s not necessarily upset that people took the Capitol - that’s seems so obvious, but Doug is somehow making Russell out to be a hypocrite and political manipulator by completely misinterpreting Russell’s motive for being upset. I, like Russell, don’t see why we shouldn’t be upset and feel misrepresented when people storm the Capitol with signs like “Jesus Saves”.

If this channel doesn't support that then this take is very suspect. We gotta keep that same energy.... especially on a video demanding for someone to keep that same energy. I'm truly hoping this blatant double standard and hypocrital stance is unfounded and only exists in my hypothetical assessment. If it doesn't, this is another example of why the "woke" kids get so caught up in fighting racism rather than spreading the Gospel. Double standards like this have that if it looks like a duck sounds like a duck....

@Kenny Bugh ummm basically, if he is saying that January 6th is scripturally condoned then that extends to every protest and every riot in the wake of George Floyd. Typically, conservatives (I am not a liberal) don't extend such grace to protestors/rioters. So if grace and even support is given to January 6th and not George Floyd protests/riots that reasonably appears racist. Not necessarily racist but, it can see why it would look that way.

I think I must be missing what Doug is saying here. Let me preface by saying that I really don't have much respect left for Russell Moore for a number of reasons, and I do have a lot of respect for Doug Wilson and listen to his content a lot, so this is not me defending Moore or attacking Wilson, but just trying to understand better what is being said here. I also don't buy into the threat of Christian nationalism being prevalent at all. It seems to me that what Moore is saying is that those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and stamped God's name on their actions were making an idol of their idea of America and using God's name as a means to maintain that idol. Wilson's response seems to be that being angry about that must mean that Moore is idolizing what they attacked, the Capitol. I think that is a leap. If someone were to burn down a public school and say they did it in the name of God, if another person were to be angry about that, does it mean they idolize the public school system? Or that they simply recognize that it was an unrighteous act with God's name taken captive? Somebody please help clarify this, because I would much rather be on Doug Wilson's side of any argument than Russell Moore's haha.

[@dalethomas5392]

In a nutshell, Wilson is merely highlighting the double-standard thinking that Moore, et. al. use on a consistent basis. They will Trojan horse you with a "Jesus/Christianity isn't political" mantra for the purpose of supporting a particular political vision.

[@johnfutch8258]

Yeah I think this was a swing and a miss for Wilson. Your analogy is on point. There's nothing inconsistent about describing Jan 6 as an outburst of nationalist idolatry.

[@ELLIOTADRIANCONTE]

It comes down to Moore’s motives. If he is just calling out an appropriation of Christianity as he sees it, then you are right. If he is denouncing Jan 6 in order to simply advance the opposing political ideology, then he is no better. Certain of Moore’s words like “insurrection” reveal his intentions.

[@daltonadger6489]

@@ELLIOTADRIANCONTE yeah I’m with you on that completely. I am just not sure the logic of this particular video holds up, which is not something I say often of Doug Wilson. In the broader context it makes sense tho

[@JustinBrown-oi8et]

The logical point is the reason that Russell Moore gives for his anger is the place the Capitol holds in his mind not the fact that the people claimed to do it in Jesus’ name.

@@christopherflux6254 - What laws were broken? The only thing any of these "insurrectionists" have been detained and charged with is criminal trespass. There weren't any weapons confiscated either. So what kind of insurrection can that be? Look it up. And remember, the only person who lost their life (or rather was murdered in cold blood) was Ashli Babbit - the officer who died pass away from natural causes most likely a heart attack. So tell us again - what law was broken that puts our "democracy" in peril as the elite pundits would have you believe? Besides, the call for protecting that "democracy" (which we aren't BTW) is nothing more than a call for totalitarian dictatorship.

Videos like this are great if you want to debate someone with no chance of them responding to you or correcting your misconceptions and misinterpretations of their words. But they're great for likes and clickbait! Let me know when you have the decency to actually talk to Russell Moore face to face.
