'Intentionally dishonest': Pastor Allen Jackson responds to CNN’s ‘misguided’ ‘Christian nationalism’ doc

For some people, the last thing they want to see is Christian values being promoted, valued , respected . So Christians need to be able to stand up against that kind of opposition and promote the gospel no matter the opposition.

For other people, they view the dark ages and the "Inquisition" as the classic example of "Christian values" and so they want no part of it. We need to be informed and warned by the mistakes of the past, but should not use that to diminish the work of the gospel.

Many people highly respect religious liberty and also want to avoid the return of historic events related to the merger of church and state. Events that lead to an intolerance of one Christian group as compared to another as in the days of the inquisition and Martin Luther's intolerance of Jews as examples of Christians being intolerant of other Christians, etc

During queen Mary's rule: Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, and Hugh Latimer, once Bishop of Worcester. They were both burned at Oxford, back to back, at one stake, on the 16th of October, 1555.

Foxe's book of Martyrs is another well known source of warning for all future generations.

I think the rise Christian Nationalism is the left's latest boogieman.

Not really. Many Christians warn of the dangers of Christian Nationalism. Most US laws do reflect Christian values. Sadly, some don't but the Constitution is structured to protect the rights of the minority from the majority.

We should not try to legislate Christianity. We should live the Gospel and draw people to the Light.

Left-wing media started coming out of the woodwork with it after Trump was elected. I've seen it coupled with their two other favorites; MAGA and Project 2025. Boogieman gaslighting 101.

Warnings about the Christian right preceded Trump by years.

First off, it's the Republicans that warned about Trump before liberals. Trump calls them RINO's but it's Trump that is a RINO.

I didn't say it didn't exist. I said that it's become considerably more prolific. The obvious goal is to convince Christians that they should support worldly ideology. That makes you a good Christian by worldly standards.

Obvious to you but not to others. People see what they want to see. The right loves to cry wolf and point fingers as a diversionary tactic.

Then why are there Christians who espouse and support worldly ideology, while denouncing Christians who don't go along with it?

Many Christians let their politics cloud their vision. Their leaders tell them something is occurring which isn't.

We have a couple of Republicans running for Congress and their political ads are horribly sinful. They claim DEI is evil and say that it shouldn't be illegal to be white or illegal to be Christian.

None is even an issue. There is nothing wrong with diversity, whites have no issue that must tolerate, and Christianity is doing great in this bible belt state.

The thing is that, their constituents eat it up.
Who is lying to them?
