Christian Nationalism

[Gray_Joy]

Nope, I am only reading your posts and others here. I already stated, in this thread, I have no idea what "Christian" is supposed to mean, let alone Christian nationalism.

You identify as Christian? And don't know what it means?

And after these many posts,of which is included the definition of Nationalism,you say you don't know what that means either?

It started as a slang that we chose to wear as a badge of honor.

Yes, it was meant to be derogatory. Antioch had a behavioral history of such. Think of Trump, as humorous as it is, calling out "Sleepy Joe Biden, or Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren." For example, associating Sleepy with the American dream or awakening to the power of the DNC. We've already seen how the LGBT+ has done so with the rainbow.
Imagine if the DNC ran with it for PR and made something noble and puffed it up in pride as a badge of honor in arrogance.

That is not what I said. And though I agree, I also disagree w/ the modern notion.
But strawman was noted.

I noticed a common rebuke to the idea thar ANY nation is a Christian Nation is that it must be a theocracy. Not sure where that comes from? Take a look at some flags. If they had a crescent moon, it would be accepted as proof they come from Islamic countries. But a cross? No way is that given one little credit for being influenced by Christianity!

That's not what I said, but I've lived long enough to observe those that want America to become a theocracy. I look forward to the day of true theocracy, if not on this earth, then as it is in heaven. And the earth will never look like heaven, a place, as long as sin exists.
This nation has never seen anybody from the "far" or "extreme" right. " Trump is a moderate in comparison, but most have no idea what that would look like in contrast.
And influenced, @Wrangler yes I agree. That is a good thing so long as institutions like the Roman Catholic Church aren't the sole authority (argumentum ad verecundiam). The best authority is the author and finisher of our faith, G-d as conveyed through His word by the inspired Scripture.
Keep in mind those popish figures, @Wrangler, the "Vicar of Christ." The definition has changed throughout time, but the Vicar of Christ is the earthly and human image and representation of Christ, and speaking ex cathedra, he is considered infallible, the ultimate authority.
And if so, I ask, why doesn't he settle every dispute? And why are there over 20+ rites in Catholicism? Needlessly said, that's a door no Protestant wants to ever see opened again. Keep in mind early Reformers flat-out declared the pope that man of lawlessness and the papists the offices of the anti-christ(s.)

You're rambling.

Your screed has no affiliation to the origin or the term,Christianity.

Your closing remark however speaks poorly of you.
Especially given your choice of pseudonym.

Something I think strong pacifists and others opposed to Christian Nationalism have failed to realize is,when God brings his kingdom to Earth, that's precisely the governance that shall exist here.

Yes ....under Christ's rule. And yet, there will be some who rebel even under a perfect rulership. We are not instructed to attempt this in the flesh under the worldly systems that are in place. It won't be Christian at all, except in name.

The permeant eternal reign of Christ on Earth will not suffer sin or rebellion ever. Peace on Earth.
