A new coalition of Left-leaning pastors, calling itself ‘Christians Against Christian Nationalism, has started a campaign warning American Christians against the ‘dangers’ of alleged rising ‘Christian nationalism’:
The coalition includes presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church, the Rev. Michael B. Curry, who presided over the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and advocates for same-sex marriage.
“As Christians, our faith teaches us everyone is created in God’s image and commands us to love one another. As Americans, we value our system of government and the good that can be accomplished in our constitutional democracy. Today, we are concerned about a persistent threat to both our religious communities and our democracy — Christian nationalism,” a statement from the group, Christians Against Christian Nationalism said.
The campaign was recently launched by the Baptist Joint Committee, a liberal faith-based group of attorneys, Capitol Hill insiders, ministers, mobilizers and scholars that advocate for religious liberty for everyone.
“Christian nationalism seeks to merge Christian and American identities, distorting both the Christian faith and America’s constitutional democracy. Christian nationalism demands Christianity be privileged by the State and implies that to be a good American, one must be Christian. It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. We reject this damaging political ideology and invite our Christian brothers and sisters to join us in opposing this threat to our faith and to our nation,” the statement argued.
“Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths. All are equal under the U.S. Constitution. As Christians, we must speak in one voice condemning Christian nationalism as a distortion of the gospel of Jesus and a threat to American democracy,” it added.
National Baptist leaders endorsing and signing the statement opposing Christian nationalism include: Paul Baxley, executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship; Jeffrey Haggray, executive director of American Baptist Home Mission Societies; Paula Dempsey, director of partnership relations at Alliance of Baptists; Aidsand Wright-Riggins and Hannah McMahan, co-directors of the New Baptist Covenant; Mitch Randall, executive director of EthicsDaily.com; and Amanda Tyler, executive director of BJC.
Not every Christian group shares those sentiments.
“Any group that equates worshiping at a mosque as the same as in a #church is NOT a #Christian group. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing,” the Holy Word of God Church stated in a reaction to a report on the campaign.
Emerald Robinson, chief White House correspondent for One America News Network, also scoffed at the campaign.
“This must be a Babylon Bee parody: a small gang of liberals (from churches that don’t have any followers) are warning people against ‘Christian nationalism.’ Ah yes, the great danger of our time for Christians,” she noted in a tweet.
So this ‘Christian’ group believes that all faiths are created equal and that America, contrary to every statement issued by the Founding Fathers, was never intended to be a Christian nation. Because America has now been treacherously flooded with Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, African VooDooist, and atheists, any Christian who dares claim that America is still a Christian nation is ‘dangerous” and ‘anti-American’.
Why would any group of Christians not want to assert that America is better off as a Christian nation? Clearly, only a group that in its heart does not believe that Christianity is any more valid than any other “belief system”, a group that no longer truly believes John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Without Christianity as its foundation, America has no identity, nor would it ever have been created in the first place. But now that jewish “pluralism” dominates the halls of power, Christianity has become the enemy of the State and must be silenced, with the help of so-called Christians themselves.
Ephesians stated Christians are fellow citizens. Of what? the true Israel of God. The non remnant of Israel was cut off said Romans. The good book says we are citizens of heaven. Ekklesia (a political word) is a called out group from what? out of fleshly Israel and the world. Christ is our king. The church is our sanctification (divine separate state). Though they are in the world they are not of the world…
Perhaps the elephant in the room is Scottish rite free masonry. Its was seen by all the founding fathers in its influential presence. George Washington inauguration in full masonic regalia is proof in point. Yet saying that if we were able to conduct a referendum of early America surely the majority would have said this is a christian nation. However no two Christendom denominations agree on what a Christian is exactly. So a house divided against itself will not stand. Perhaps a house not built upon the rock of Christ – Is being swept away. America is not a Christian nation it adheres to laws neither of a theocracy of Israel nor the religious gospel of Jesus Christ.
The gospel cannot be converted into state laws though it can effect them. It is not fair to call that which is secular, divine.
Ephesians promises us spiritual blessings not earthly title deed. In fact early Jerusalem believers lost their property. Probably most of the early pioneers were Christians. What did they write on the matter? The Old testament clearly said of the Israelites the land is mine it was conditional by that old Law. We were never called to be under that Law. Yet we can impliment the no usary to a fellow American that will dislodge the Haratbas.
This calls to mind a joke by the late comedian Sam Kinison:
“Rockers against drugs…it’s like saying Christians against Christ!”
I guess that’s not really a joke anymore…
I should also add……………
The word “Posterity” was quickly overlooked — so is it any wonder we are where we are???
I wouldn’t mind at all how many White people in the United States practice whatever religion they so desire……..as long as they are White!
I’m still on the fence on who to blame more — Jews or ourselves. Our peoples got us into this mess with their greed and you could say laziness.
But we knew this was coming. It is Prophesized.
“Endure to the End to be Saved”.
When White people “behave White,” they are actually behaving like Christians because that’s what God has written on our hearts. It’s instinctual, second nature, with or without brick and mortar churches or denominational religions.
Please reference a verse for God wrote his word on white peoples hearts? It is clear from the bible it is upon Christians hearts which may or may not include whites.
Simple, Russ, Jeremiah 31:31 states God wrote the truth on the hearts of the Israelites and no other people. That passage also states that He would make His New Covenant also with the Israelites and no other people.
Two, were the Israelites White? Numerous passages describe the Israelites as White or “ruddy” which is pink, like all White people. The name Adam, according to Strong’s Concordance #119 means “ruddy”, “rosy”, “show blood in the face” from Hebrew “Awdawm”.
Passages in the Bible physically describing the Israelites as White or ruddy:
1 Samuel 17:42:
“And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth and ruddy and of a fair countenance…”
Solomon 5:10:
“My beloved is white and ruddy the chiefest among ten thousand…”
Lamentations 4:7:
“Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk they were more ruddy in body than rubies…”
Isaiah 29:22:
“Therefore thus saith God, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.”
1Samuel 16:12:
“So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And God said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is he.””
Psalm 51:7:
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
Description of Abraham’s wife Sarah from the Dead Sea Scrolls:
“…Her skin was pure white…”
When white people ” behave white” they are actually behaving like CHristians because that is what has written on our hearts. Long ago we used this in America “white” to mean CHristian . I think it is appropriate and a evidence of the identity of the “CHurch.”Or our race .
Is the Falling Away complete!!!???
If there is no spiritual intervention in the next 20 years…………I will proudly declare myself a Preterist. 🙂
What on earth is HE waiting for?!
What’s He waiting for? For us, as a people, to turn back to Him and beg Him to save us from this Hell we’ve created for ourselves by ignoring His laws. We obviously, collectively, still think we can do this without Him, and as long as we think that way, he’ll continue to turn up the heat until we scream out for him. We are a stiff-necked, proud people to our own detriment.
exactly
Well then His Intervention must not be for a very long time. I’m being slightly sarcastic. I’m having a hard time seeing how Adamites will wake up when things get even worse. As time goes by, we are breeding ourselves right out of the Adamite Gene Pool.
Maybe this is why Luke wrote — “When the Son of Man comes; will He find faith on the earth?”
The speed at which the world is changing is increasing exponentially. What used to take 20 years now takes only one or two. Think gay marriage to transgender children. That was fast. Decriminalizing certain types of pedophilia within the next couple years.
Annexation of both the Golan and the West Bank within a few years. Next big event could be the destruction of the Mosque on the Temple Mount. Don’t worry about it not happening fast enough–it is going to make peoples’ heads spin in the coming years.
Chesterton…………….I appreciate your insights. I look forward to your comments.
I agree with you — things are escalating increasingly fast. Peace and Safety and good fortune to you and yours. Cheers.
It’s a common mistake – the first ‘Christians’ is silent. The organisations should be correctly pronounced ‘Against Christian Nationalism’.
‘The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.’ John Adams
The Naturalization Act of 1790 says that USA is open to FREE WHITE PERSONS. David Duke claims that the Act says FREE WHITE CHRISTIANS.
Christians, or those sucking up to them, are prone to distort, or lie- just like the liberals.
The base of America is free thought- reason- in the spirit of Greece [esp. Aristotle- non-contradiction] and Thomas Paine, and John Locke.
We are gathered here in large part due to the first amendment. No religion in history has ever passed anything like it- the first amendment comes out of philosophy, not religion.
John Adams, writing to Jefferson in 1813: “Philosophy, which is the result of reason, is the first, the original revelation of the Creator to his creature, man. When this revelation is clear and certain, by intuition or necessary inductions, no subsequent revelation, supported by prophecies or miracles, can supersede it. Philosophy is not only the love of wisdom, but the science of the universe and its cause. There is, there was, and there will be but one master of philosophy in the universe.”
Jews have been working hard to “prove” that America was not founded as a Christian nation, and you’ve taken their bait and spread it as fact.
To do so, they take quotes like Adams’ out of context or ignore other quotes from, say, Jefferson, who state otherwise. Or they over-emphasize that “many” of them were “deists” but ignore that most were still Christian deists. All original 13 State constitutions specifically cite Christianity (think the 10th Amendment).
Were many of them “free thinking” and “non-denominational” about their Christianity? Sure they were–the denominations were corrupt in Europe, and they didn’t want the same Christian institutional corruption in America, but they weren’t foolish enough to throw the baby out with the bathwater, as you are suggesting.
And just to let you know, the original apostles of Christ were heavily influenced by Greek thought, culture, and language as ancient Judea was Hellenized. Do some research on Greek philosophy and Christianity, and you’ll be shocked at how much has been written on it.
‘The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.’ John Adams
Allow me to explain the TRUE meaning of this statement…
The government of the united States of America was founded on the Biblical Law. So is the Christian ‘religion’. That’s exactly what was meant in the Declaration of Independence when these CHRISTIAN men declared they were making a MORE PERFECT UNION. A government not predicated on a single state sanctioned CHRISTIAN church (e.g. Anglican) whereby their beliefs are lorded over by man as well as everyday functions. That’s why the Constitution doesn’t provide for tons of ‘new laws’, but the enumeration of very limited rights to federal, state, and local governments, leaving the adherence to the already well established Christian laws that already governed the behavior of white people, to the white people themselves, allowing them to worship Christ as they saw fit.
It’s as simple as: once a white person stops acting, behaving, or being a Christian, they inevitably break God’s laws, and we Christians have the provisions in our Biblical laws for dealing with them. That’s what it means to be a Christian, and that’s the only way the American society was intended to be, and that is the only kind of society the foundational governmental concept was intended to regulate.
When you jump on the jewish bandwagon declaring the U.S. was never a Christian nation, not only are you spitting in the face of the founders, but in the face of all who fought and died and sacrificed all to form this great country. Without the understanding of this country’s CHRISTIAN ROOTS, you can’t even possibly understand WHY the American Revolution happened in the first place, let alone WHY both the Constitution and Declaration say what they say, as well as WHY the “Supreme Law of the Land” contains no ‘new laws’.
As for John Adams, writing to Jefferson in 1813:
“Philosophy, which is the result of reason, is the first, the original revelation of the Creator to his creature, man. When this revelation is clear and certain, by intuition or necessary inductions, no subsequent revelation, supported by prophecies or miracles, can supersede it. Philosophy is not only the love of wisdom, but the science of the universe and its cause. There is, there was, and there will be but one master of philosophy in the universe.”
I don’t understand where you are missing the fundamental concepts of Christianity being discussed in this quote. The only thing I can see here that would cause you to miss the Christian boat is the simple fact that Christ is not referred to by name. This is a prime example of non-denominational Christian philosophy…
unbelieveable. Ive said it before, but ‘everyday I think Ive seen it all, and then Im proven wrong.’
