God-Given Rights and ‘Christian Nationalism’

[Vambram]

I'm guessing that's a definite "no".

OB

methinks that perhaps you didn't understand all of my response. Maybe you didn't.

The threat looms large.

Whatever that means.

And I see that Christian Nationalism is not 'Christians who are patriotic', but Christians who want to eliminate the Constitution and replace our form of government with something else.

Wave American flags and use poles as spears to fend off police and smash out windows.
Scale outer walls of the Capitol reminiscent of the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1790.
Carry signs reading “Jesus Saves!” while also being wrapped in TRUMP banners and wearing MAGA caps.
Half-naked Shaman with horns on his head screams “Freedom!” and prays in capital.
Others march through the House of the People carrying Confederate flag sending congressional members into hiding.
Rioters carry pre-Christian, neo-pagan religious symbols, while others erect a gallows with a noose demanding that Vice President Pence “do the right thing” and that Congress “stop the steal”-- or else!

The revolutionary motto of “Don’t Tread on Me!” appears amongst rosary-bearing Catholics and Bible-carrying Evangelicals.

This is Donald Trump's MAGA America. Christian Nationalism.

I’m okay with a Christian prince. Make Medieval Great Again.

What Exactly Do the Christian Nationalists Want?​

The universe of Christian social conservatives who embrace Christian nationalism as a label is broad, and extends from more studied, experienced professionals like Trump-era acting OMB Director Russ Vought to a coterie of Ignatius Reilly-esque quasi-medievalist figures who theorize the eventual ascent of a “Christian Prince” to power.

Bullseye!

One chapter [of "the Case for Christian Nationalism"], called “The Christian Prince,” advocates for a “measured and theocratic caesarism.” Wolfe has suggested that he’s playing a somewhat coy game here, using “prince” to refer not necessarily to a monarch, but possibly to the aggregate form of American governmental power. Whatever it is, in his version of Christian nationalism the prince would promote “national self-love and a manly, moral liberty.”

“The prince can adorn himself and his residence with Christian symbols, as crosses were once painted on royal armor and portraits of monarchs with scepters and crosses,” he wrote. “The point is that the Christian prince should exercise his power to secure and supplement Christian civil and material culture and do everything in this power to make his people’s culture, as a whole, Christian.”

The Statement on Christian Nationalism & the Gospel

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM is a set of governing principles rooted in Scripture’s teaching on Christ’s rule as supreme Lord and King of all creation, Who has ordained civil magistrates with delegated authority to be under Him, over the people, to order their ordained jurisdiction by punishing evil...
