National priorities are simply not equal to the priorities of God

[IM2]

There are laws that supersede the Constitution and those laws come with penalties that cannot get appealed once judgment is rendered. The creator gives us every chance for appeal before he renders judgment. America is at it's last chance to do so.

What is Christian Nationalism?

Christian nationalism identifies the nation with God's will and action in the world; conflates national and Christian identity; and identifies service of the nation with service of God,” writes Dr. David W. Scott, who is a Methodist historical researcher and the Director of Mission Theology at the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church. “Christian nationalism gives moral cover for actions, even unseemly ones, taken in pursuit of national or political goals.”

Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne, takes the idea that Christian nationalism provides moral cover a step further, noting that Christian nationalism adheres to “the belief that America is God’s chosen nation and must be defended as such.”

Those who hold to a Christian nationalist view assume a religious duty in defending their beliefs in regards to the nation. So many of those who stormed the U.S. Capitol felt quite natural in holding up “Jesus 2020” and “Jesus Saves!” banners. They believed their actions were a defense of the nation and therefore sanctioned by God.

The events of January 6, 2021, expose the dangers of Christian nationalism. Uniting a religious fervor with domestic events incites a passion and sense of priority that many of us consider out of place--especially those of us in the Christian sphere who reject a Christian nationalist perspective. National priorities are simply not equal to the priorities of God.

Were they singing ''Onward Christian Soldiers' as they 'attacked'?

Christian nationalists aren’t real Christians. Why are you defending them? They go against everything this country is supposed to stand for.

Problem is, God always skips the Christian nationalist policy meetings.

Dr. Scott noted “There’s a long history of Christian nationalism in the United States, and it has often been the type of nationalism that tries to exclude others. American Christian nationalism has tried to define the United States as a native white Protestant nation and exclude all others: Catholics, African Americans, indigenous peoples, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, etc.”

We're talking about a fascist movement pretending to be a religion. Keep up.

Sure thing, skippy. Just keep talking. Love that elevator music.

More "I hate white Christians" elevator music. Nothing you have to say will ever accomplish anything because y'all don't want to converse. You want to scream. I have way better music to listen to.

And as God's representative on Earth, you know this far better than we mere mortals, right?

Cut & Paste Princess, fresh from her latest gig, getting her ass kicked about how she wants those who disagree with her to die. A true moral paragon, to whom we all must listen for guidance.

"I'm getting sick and tired of people who are unvaccinated. I wish them to all die and also to bypass the hospitals. Die at home."--Penelope, Jan 18th 2022

I stand by that quote. Die at home of covid except the people who have been vaccinated.

and you are the arbiter of who is, and isn't, a Christian?


That must be a boring job....

We are all God's representative on earth. He made us in his image after all.

Of course you do, Killer, because you lack the moral and intellectual flexibility to do anything but parrot what your TV tells you to parrot.

Dr Scott sounds like an idiot.

He sounds nothing like you.

If they’re espousing hate, I’d think it would be obvious.
