I’ve always found irony in Christianity which is supposed to be about the one true way, is divided into well over 1,000 denominations. To me, that highlights the importance of context and perspective in interpreting its true meaning. Organized religion and things like Christian Nationalism has disappointed me greatly though the years. The actual words and teachings of JC is my foundation and never let me down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who on here promotes Christian Nationalism? You are indicating that someone may want to prove you wrong. Not sure who this guy is or how genuine he is. He uses the Bible in reminding us that it never mentions gay marriage and is correct. The Bible does clearly state that marriage is the union of male and female. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am not going to name names, but we've had posters express opinions that are - shall we say - empathetic to the idea of Christian Nationalism. I would also say that supporting Trump and Republican political candidates or the Republican Party in general is supporting Christian Nationalism indirectly. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/14/1156642544/more-than-half-of-republicans-support-christian-nationalism-according-to-a-new-s More than half of Republicans support Christian nationalism, according to a new survey https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/09/21/most-republicans-support-declaring-the-united-states-a-christian-nation-00057736 Most Republicans Support Declaring the United States a Christian Nation https://www.axios.com/2024/06/24/christian-nationalism-america-trump-republicans Axios Explains: Christian nationalism on the march 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So roughly 50% of the voters are Christian Nationalist in your opinion? You agree with Fiddys Facebook preacher in repent and vote democrat don’t you. “Obsessed with genital parts while the planet burns”…..jeez you guys really come up with some stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMWATS 280 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Funny who the people that have never professed Christ as their Savior or that have given up on Christianity always want to tell professing Christians who regularly attend religious services how it really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 6,189 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I too am concerned about Christian nationalism and that’s it’s a perversion of christs message. And found the OP to be vey powerful. However, sometimes these type threads become broad stroke attacks on all Christians - which I find divisive, tiresome, and ultimately, destructive. It’s a fine line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So… So..... I call it like it is. Unlike Trump, I am not making things up about him, his behavior is there for all to see. He earned it with his, oh so Christ-like post. Anyone taking passive/aggressive shots at me - or anyone else - impugning their motives in such a way, is a jerk. This is a particularly good example.

You didn't exclude me, you included me in "such threads like this". Like I said, similar to extremism being a particular Islamic problem, Christian Nationalism is a particular Christian problem. It's up to you to support it or not. Based on your post, you apparently identify with the christian nationalists. That makes you part of the problem, just like Muslims who think opposing radicals is anti-Islamic. Edited August 12 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty I think is you know that isn’t true. the way it is in my opinion is that I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve others through active participation in a number of ministries offered by my church. These ministries include in-resident care for young women who are fighting addiction, a food pantry and financial assistance (utilities) for families in need, disaster relief, and free on-site medical and dental care again for those in need. over the years my family and I have been most active in supporting the food pantry and the addiction ministry. Again, I am humbled and grateful to be able to give back to the community in this fashion. I also see that because my church is large, mostly white and it’s membership for the most part conservative in their voting that we are most likely lumped in to the Christian Nationalist category.
