Much Ado About Christian Nationalism |
10-18-22, * -- Editorial writers across the USA are frantically warning us about the dangers of Christian nationalism [CN]– yes, newspapers [2] are sounding the alarm! However, like so many other manufactured frights, the term ‘Christian nationalism’ is specifically vague; although they make it sound like an actual thing - it has no clear definition. Therefore, specific threats from CN are rarely cited. Invectives against Christians by most critics promote falsehoods about America’s founding while issuing fuzzy warnings about the future of democracy. Occasionally the rhetoric is startling; more than one writer went so far as to compare Christians to the Islamic terror group the Taliban like Joy Reid of MSNBC [here]. Most importantly, purveyors of misinformation about CN appear to have little understanding of the Christian Reformation. It’s the bedrock of biblical Christianity and greatly influenced the American founding and modern law. Consider the writings of the Priest Martin Luther [whose articles of protest in Germany were tacked to the church door - the anniversary will be celebrated this October 31*]. He exhorted Christians to recognize two separate and distinctive governing entities; one spiritual and one secular. It is ironic that critics of CN often quote Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address when articulating the democracy they claim they want to preserve. However, Lincoln’s 1863 speech borrowed one of its most famous lines, word for word, from Wycliffe, who wrote in the introduction of his 1384 English translation of the Latin scripture: => | <= “This Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, for the People.” The Biblical preaching of Christian leaders of the past: Calvin, Luther, Wycliffe and others of the Reformation are woven throughout Biblical Christianity. They were the driving force behind the First Amendment to America’s Constitution [here]. To claim that evangelical Christians are now prepared to recant more than 500 years of doctrine regarding the church and state is beyond laughable. [..] Wycliffe knew the Bible provided a principled basis for civil society; as did President Lincoln. The vigor with which CN is opposed is not about preventing an American theocracy. It’s a reflection of the fear it instills among those who prefer greater or lesser degrees of totalitarianism [as their lustful wicked behaviors may be halted as decreed by God’s holy Word - the Bible – Ed.]. *Martin Luther https://charlietaylorministries.com/topical/martin-luther-the-501-year-anniversary-of-the-95-theses/ [1] https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ [2] https://www.deseret.com/2022/10/15/23365128/white-christian-nationalism-rhetoric-threat-to-democracy-joe-biden-david-french *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Frontpage Mag, Scott Hogenson here https://www.frontpagemag.com/much-ado-about-christian-nationalism/ |
