John MacArthur denounces Christian nationalism as 'faulty viewpoint' linked to postmillennialism

We do not know that Moses wrote the first book or was one of the final redactors of the Creation story.

Hello! Jesus seems to link the Pentateuch with Moses:

John 5:46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?

God Bless You

Thank you for the reference.

John 5:46 certainly links the last book of the Pentateuch, Deuteronomy (copy of the law), to Moses. However, that book, according to biblical scholars, was composed centuries after Moses death in ~ 1405 BC.

The book was probably composed over the course of three centuries, from the eighth century to the exile and beyond. It bears some relation to “the Book of the Law” discovered in the Jerusalem Temple around 622 B.C. during the reign of King Josiah (2 Kgs 22:8–13). It gives evidence of later editing: cf. the references to exile in 4:1–40; 28:63–68; 29:21–28; 30:1–10.​

Hello! Thank you for your reply. Therefore it's a clear choice, Jesus said it was written by Moses. Some modern bible scholars say it 'probably' wasn't written by Moses. So we can go with Jesus or with the probably. God Bless

Pastor John MacArthur denounced Christian nationalism insofar as it is defined as an attempt to usher in the Kingdom of God on Earth through political means, but exhorted Christians to care about what is happening in their nation.

"There is no such thing as Christian nationalism," MacArthur said during a question-and-answer period last month at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles. "The Kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight.' His Kingdom is not of this world. The kingdom of this world is a separate world. They're not linked together."

Zero Christian Nationalists believe that they are ushering in the kingdom of heaven on earth. It's unfortunate that such an intelligent man chooses to attack this strawman.

The fact is that John MacArthur would not even know of the Gospel if it were not for a thousand years of the reign of Christian kingdoms.

These kinds of responses from the modern evangelical world are shallow and unserious.
