I’ve read several articles contrasting Christian Nationalism with the traditional teachings of Jesus Christ. There’re not the same, although they appear similar sounding. Christ’s kingdom is not of this world. Christ didn’t seek to Christianize the Roman government, or any other worldly government for that matter.

Christ was a champion for the poor, for the immigrant, for the displaced, Christian Nationalists (Republicans almost exclusively) aren’t. It didn’t matter to Jesus what color you were. HE certainly wasn’t a white supremacist, and He didn’t advocate for any government to adopt His Christianity–that was reserved just for individuals. (It’s only individuals who go to haven, not nations. (OK, admittedly, a godly nation can help).

The Old Testament Jews were the exception. They were singled out to be an example to the world of how to live a righteous and Godly life. They failed, but still were a clog in the wheel of salvation from the get-go by being the down-line from which all nations would be blessed through Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our forefathers weren’t too concerned about promoting their Christian ideals in government affairs as much as their concern about keeping politics out of the pulpit. To further any one particular religion in government is discriminatory and against our constitution. Besides, to do so, is to infringe upon our God-given freewill choice. To be valid, what one believes religiously must come about by no encumbrances (like a government sanctioned religion). Just like a legal confession must not be coerced to be valid. Jesus simply said to shake the dust from your sandals as a testimony against anyone who doesn’t listen to you (evangelize). That’s a far cry from wanting to do them in because of their Christian denials. Save that for Jesus’ return, when He separates the sheep from the goats. Sheep to eternal bliss; goats to eternal damnation.
