We must never abandon christ he is our savior

[lauraluffman]

It should never be about religion but about our relationship with Christ🙏🙏

I totally agree with you Brother Gordon. Kingdom of GOD is for all irrespective of race, color or religion. But the nation must also be built on the principles of the Kingdom of GOD for it to be blessed by GOD & flourish.

I like your side of the story. I was under the impression that the Christian Nationalism movement was some sort of a dictatorship threat.

It started in New England where Puritans wanted greater blessings of God. They founded the Jew Tax, a voluntary tax where Jews could be brought to the colonies and were asked only to repay the money. they were the only ones who did not have to sell themselves into bond slavery to do this. They were loaned more money from the colony to build businesses, or trade goods and pack ponies to do into the frontier. There, many of the Jews being Messianic, taught Christ. They settled in among us and intermarried with us. They enabled runaway slaves, white, black, and American Indian to find refuge in Indian towns. They taught us English alphabet but promoted the Bible in our languages. Only one colony refused to do this, and suffered for it.

Jesus' teachings often emphasized compassion, equality, and sharing resources, which align with progressive principles. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), Jesus taught about the importance of loving one's neighbors, caring for the poor, and rejecting material wealth. He also advocated for the sharing of resources, as seen in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and the feeding of the 5, 000 (Mark 6:30-44). Additionally, Jesus' emphasis on the equal value of all individuals, regardless of social status or wealth, is evident in his interactions with the marginalized and outcasts (Matthew 9:10-13, Luke 7:36-50). Some of his most “communist”-sounding statements may include: "Sell your possessions and give to the poor" (Luke 12:33), "Give to everyone who asks you" (Luke 6:30), and "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25).
These teachings challenge the capitalist values of individualism, competition, and profit, promoting instead a community-focused, sharing-based approach to living.

While Jesus' teachings were not necessarily aimed at establishing a communist system as some might conclude, it may be surprising to acknowledge that they certainly share commonalities with communist ideals.
Christ’s teaching spoke about detaching from our egos and delving into love and compassion for one another, realizing the divinity and unity within all people.
His message was to love each other as we love ourselves because God loves us with pure, and eternal love.

What Is Christian Nationalism? It's Fascism. Chris Hedges wrote an entire book about this subject, "Christian Fascism".

Christian nationalism is another form of socialism. Secular socialism or christian socialism, it’s all the same. We’re all subject to someone’s interpretation of a musty old book. We are a free nation, free to believe in a god or not. Thankfully we’re still free, for now.

John Adams in the latter part of his life was more of a unitarian.

I’m sorry the moneylenders at the temple aren’t getting richer but what Jesus cared about was the children. The Republican National Party has abandoned its National pro-life stance. We need to win but not on the bodies of the unborn.

This guy doesn't know what CN is about, theonomy is a proper term to be used, Theonomy is NOT about forced religion as he suggests, to sum it up is this= Do you want the laws of the land to reflect Biblical values or not? \such as the definition of what a woman is or marriage? He pushes for "secularism" to rule politics, but what is the standard within that system?

[lukehawkins]
