*DISCLAIMER* I still support theocracy in the United States, but not the shallow secular knock-off that most people are clinging onto. Don't take this video out of context...hope you enjoyed.

@Jeem, Thanks for commenting on Christian Nationalism. The illustrated whizz through history was great. I love your ability to zoom.out and summarise. I need to understand what the Christan Nationalist movement thinks it wants to achieve. Meanwhile, those of us who genuinely want to be ruled by God can be subjects in His kingdom, whatever others do.

Great video, greetings from an evangelical Protestant. But I will have to watch this video 20 times before I can explain these ideas to others.

For a more modern example of “Christian nationalism” I recommend reading Corneliu Codreanu’s works, especially “For my Legionnaires”

I feel like christian nationalism is a term that has been adapted and subverted. The point of attaching christian to nationalism is to specify what kind of nationalism.

It's not civic nationalism, it's not national socialism, it's christian nationalism. It is a nationalism that recognizes that people groups are different, and thats a good thing, but at the same time these various groups are equally made in the image of God. It is a version of nationalism confined and defined by Christianity rather than some other ideology.

Not only this but a nation should be judged by its devotion to God, rather than by its wealth or power.

We are so far from this kind of world, but I can always hope and look to God because in the end He will win in his own way.

Can you do a video on what a Christian Theocracy would look like or atleast link me to one please? Ive been trying to find one on YT but cant.

There were no "central Anatolians" in Asia Minor in the middle ages. All pre-Greek Anatolian peoples had been hellenized already. There were other minorities, but Asia Minor was majority Greek atleast by the 5th century.

question: why is christian nationalism becoming the word on the street all of a sudden?

[AleaRandomAm]

Jeem this is one of the most important videos you've made, especially for your American public which I think has a very different notion of time scales, what is traditional and what is not.
I am glad to see that you know about Portuguese history and the Liberal war and revolution that happened here.
I have one question for you. What is the stance of Orthodox Christianity regarding the theory of evolution of species? Is it officially regarded as incompatible with the religion by your clergy? Or are believers free to believe in it?
Thank you Jeem and continue with your videos, I really really enjoy the Orthodox perspective on many subjects, really a breath of fresh air.

Hmm... I always heard that Justinian's code was based on Roman Law which stripped of its Pagan elements would thus be secular and it was supposed to work in conjunction with Church religious law.

How does Orthodoxy view nationalism, patriotism and race?

[Cynical_B]

Jeem, you should do live streams talking to Muslims, Mormons, Jews, etc.

[ikengaspirit]

5:17 Yeah, I have heard them talk. They don't want a Theocracy(by ur definition).

[MaximusOrthodox]

Great video. This is why I believe the Christian Nationalist Movement should be called the Theocratic Monarchist movement, since that is the True “Christian Nationalism” that existed before the Enlightenment.

this sounds very similar to Ivan's speech on this topic in The Brothers Karamazov

Christian Nationalism is an oxymoron. But also, although the idea of a theocracy in the United States may seem appealing to many, we better be careful on what we are asking for. Anybody who advocates for the NO separation between religion and State should assume that there is a high probability that his/her religion will not be the one ruling the State (which would definitely be the case for Orthodox Christians in the United States). According to a 2023 poll of the Wall Street Journal, Protestants (in all their diverse conservative and ultra liberal manifestations) are 26% of the population; Catholics are 21%; "Just Christians' 20%; Judaism 2%; Buddhism 2%; Mormonism 1%; Unitarianism 1%; Islam 1%; "Nothing in particular" 12%; Agnostic 8%; Atheist 4%; Other 2%. Orthodox are just around 0.5%. Remember that the idea of separation of religion and State was not mostly due to a conscious drive to secularize society, it rather emerged mainly as an solution, a way to put and end, to the never ending massacre of people during the European wars of religion throughout the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries. I believe then that we should be cautious. As soon as religious leaders were given the opportunity of getting absolute power and control of society again, we would immediately witness how they forget their true mission and start to bitterly antagonize against one another (different denominations or different religions) repeating the same bloody history. Those who succeed assuming control would start to legislate according to their beliefs and theology (a Protestant Church, the Pope?) and try to impose it to others, as it used to happen in the past (we actually see this happening wherever there are theocracies). In any case, what is more important is not to forget what He taught us: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." (John 18:36) Also, " Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Matthew 22:21) God bless you all.

How is it being Orthodox in USA? Do you ever consider moving abroad? Is there large community?

[autumnk]

I do support religion being a part of daily life, however do you think we should have a church-state union?
