Doug Wilson’s CNN interview exposes the left’s religious illiteracy ... again | Blaze Media

In his CNN interview, Pastor Doug Wilson defended the Great Commission and the call to Christianize the world — not just America.

For the leftists who lie awake at night worrying about Christian nationalism taking over the country, Pastor Doug Wilson has clarified that it’s much worse than they think. Christians aren’t planning to stop at the country — they plan to Christianize the world! That is the stuff of nightmares for left-wing atheist CNN journalists and humanities professors.

CNN’s interview last week with Doug Wilson went just as you’d expect: a reporter acting as if she were hearing about the Great Commission for the first time and Wilson fielding “gotcha” questions about whether he really supports a pro-slavery theocracy.

But the real story isn’t Wilson — it’s the reporter and the ideology she represents. Has she never been to Sunday school? Had she already been thoroughly “decolonized” from the Bible by the time she took a literature class? Does she truly not know that Christians founded the United States on Christian ideas — or that prominent Americans, multiple presidents, and the Supreme Court have called ours a Christian nation? Does she even care?

The Great Commission means ‘conversion’​

Wilson responded to the interviewer with his usual flair. He pointed out that if she visited Saudi Arabia, she would recognize it as an Islamic nation and not be surprised. But he also made it clear that he plans to convert Saudi Arabia into a Christian nation.

And that’s the key word: convert.

Christianity is not a tribal religion. It seeks to fill the earth by preaching the gospel and converting sinners to Christ. This is the source of the belief that all humans are equal.

That’s precisely why Christianity is such an offense to the non-Christian. The sinner doesn’t mind being told, “I don’t agree with you.” But preaching Christ crucified is foolishness to the worldly-wise because it confronts them with a painful truth: They have sinned not only against their neighbor, but against God — and the only means of reconciliation is the cross of Christ.

They must humble their pride, but the modern leftist worships pride.

Every culture but ‘Christian’​

“Culture” is another reason why Christian culture is so repugnant to the left. Leftists are fine recognizing that Islam gives rise to Islamic culture and Islamic countries. In fact, what do female reporters do when they work in Saudi Arabia? They voluntarily wear head coverings and act respectful of Islamic authorities. The same goes for Buddhism or Hinduism.

But if you point out that Christianity also produces a distinctive culture, one that gave us the United States and the values that have allowed it to continue, they panic. Suddenly, they’re asking questions about slavery and the role of women.

The CNN report spent considerable time — given its length — on how Wilson and other conservative Christians view women. The reporter was quick to mention her favorite dystopian fantasy, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Why? Because the idea that a woman might actually enjoy having and raising her own children to know and love God simply doesn’t compute.

Such a woman, in the reporter’s view, must be under the severe oppression of men to harbor such ideas. The reporter shared that she has three children, but also emphasized that she is a successful journalist, which consumes most of her time.

Wilson’s answer humanized mothers more than anything CNN likely has ever aired. What could be more important than caring for the immortal souls of your own children? Why hand that off to someone who hates God and pushes LGBTQ+ ideology in kindergarten classrooms? Christianity teaches the dignity of women and mothers in a way that the hollow, secularized values of the left never can.

We all serve somebody​

And yet the supposed worry about Christian nationalism is that once you let one religion into the halls of power, you’ll have to let others in too. If Christians have the ascendancy today, are they really ready for some other religion to gain power if the next election goes the other way?

This kind of argument has been used to keep Christians under control for decades. Wilson’s reply cuts to the heart of the matter: it’s not a question of whether we live in a theocracy, but which God we serve. Everyone serves some god. Christians know this.

The left, on the other hand, has tried to hold on to American principles after ripping them from their theological roots. But those principles only ever made sense in a Christian context — historically and logically. The result? The left now serves the god of pleasure and holds parades in honor of Aphrodite.

I think the later point is why Christianity is targeted in the West. It is really the only other competing religion with Leftism which attacks their power over society.

Really, radical Islam and Marxist are two sides of the same coin. They share many of the same views: anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-American, political violence.

Yes, all revolve around centralized control of the masses.

Conversely, the example of good government in the Bible can be found as being "anti-king" and "anti-centralized power". However, the people demanded a human king, and God gave them one despite his warnings in 1 Samuel 8 about the abuses they would suffer under sinful man.

In fact, Thomas Paine used the passage in his Common Sense pamphlet that was used to help spark a revolution against the King of England.

 

[BreezeWood]

all three desert religions are one in the same using forgeries lies and fallacies to place themselves above secular laws to persecute and victimize anyone that will not accept their false religions as being detrimental to a free society.

 

[Votto]

I think that the prophesy of the mark of the beast is problematic for the Left.

In the book of Revelation is mentions a futuristic mandate for people to receive the mark on their forehead or right hand or die all around the world. Interestingly enough, those that don't comply get their head wacked off.

They get their head wacked off? Now what religion does that sound like I wonder?

Lovely to see such enthusiasm , however wildly optimistic .

I guess the end is nigh for the Cult Abrahamkic fans and this general area of discussion will rapidly increase once the Sheeple have to face the 3I/ATLAS problem that is probably cl;ose to Jupiter by now .

Regardless, the Abrahamites have had a good run for their money based on the merry coctail of lies they all created .

For the same reason that the world hates Israel and observant Jews. They are of the world and NOT of God.

1 John 5:19
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

I think that the prophesy of the mark of the beast is problematic for the Left.

In the book of Revelation is mentions a futuristic mandate...

I think all of that happened in and before 70 AD, but that's another thread.

Really, radical Islam and Marxist are two sides of the same coin. They share many of the same views: anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-American, political violence.

They are spiritually blind because they are not of God.

2 Corinthians 4:4
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Christianity is different from other religions, because the different races have their own religions.
Christians were never told to bother the other racial religions. They were told to keep Christianity to the various lost genetic tribes of Israel.

Oh, by the way, Muhammad was raised by Christians and His intent was to take Christianity to the Muslim Tribes of Arabia.

Were there Muslims before Mohammed?

Almost all allegedly Christian churches have sold out to
GOG the CHIEF PRINCE from MaGOG, Ashkenaz etc in the Pharisee spirit of Esau Amalek who has ALREADY invaded.

2. GOG the PRINCE dictates the policy and wars.

3. GOG knows the Gospel better than Christians to thus control them.

4. GOG invaded and made America into the world’s first and foremost communist country ruled by money.

5. PRINCE GOG, leader of world powers, and enemy of Christ and mankind, worships death and works to bring the world to Armageddon.

6. GOG builds his zion with blood and iniquity, but Christ has prepared a burning devastation for him and his Jerusalem
