This idea of “Christian Nation” is not as present in Australia as it is over there, but definitely still exists. Almost adopted, like an America = all western countries kind of way. It boggles my mind how evangelical Christian’s can get so caught up on extremely minor negations made with the text when Christian Nationalism is negotiating out everything Jesus stood for.

Can I ask what flavor of Pentecostal? I grew up in the UPC but very very few Apostolics (what many in the UPC call themselves) are as educated in theology as you seem to be.

Break Every Yoke: Religion, Justice, and the Abolition of Prisons by Joshua Dubler and Vincent Lloyd is a great book you should do a video on!

i went a church that fortunately didn't preach Christian nationalism or touch politics. Pastors would preach for us to do our civic duties to vote, serve on juries etc but didn't tell us who to vote for. Sadly, I left because they started to lean to much towards prosperity and transactional gospel.

Beautifully said Colten, thank you. I’m not challenging the overall message because I completely agree with it, but I continue seeing such an emphasis on Jesus because of how much Christianity has influenced us as a nation. But I saw you mentioned Jonas in a prior post, and the stories of Abraham (that also went on to become Islam), Joseph, David, and so many others demonstrate how God was working through others and this isn’t even getting to the prophets who challenged governments and idolatries in a way that I think we’ve allowed Jesus to soften in the way we talk about him. But what I think is happening more deeply theologically is not just revelations or a few verses from Paul, but a celebration of the violence of the Hebrew Scriptures without understanding any of the context behind it. The God of punishment is not of Jesus which I think most people know, but the broader Bible can be used to condone violence and persecution to carry out God’s orders. That’s the part of the Bible that we keep ignoring that has pushed many away, not just a misinterpretation of Jesus.

It then becomes an elitist tool with unchecked power that transitions from focusing on justice for the least of these to seeking ways to oppress them instead.

There's never been a separation between church and state. Church has ALWAYS been a tool of the state.

Christian Nationalists really be carrying the Ark into battle and expecting God to act on our behalf.

Maybe they should stop using churches and schools as hiding places for their activities. That would stop the attacks but they won’t cause they are cowards. Also America gives more aid and accepts more LEGAL immigrants than any other country. I think we are following Jesus footsteps especially with trump at the wheel

I think something that the average person misses in the discussion on Christian Nationalism is how this is just a continuation of many settlers using the Bible as justification for the extermination and subjugation of Indigenous peoples. I mean John Winthrop in his “City on a Hill” address literally understood his new colony as a “New Jeruselem” as a new “promised land.” It doesnt take a whole lot of connecting of dots to think how people in a New Jeruselem might interact with people they saw as essentially New Canaanites. In other words: Christian Nationalism (not Christianity), since the inception of the first American colonies, has always brought death, destruction and moral deprivatity in its wake— just as idolatry always does.

When we see Christ building his community in the gospels, he embraces the foreigner, the criminal and the outcast, if we want to live a life he would recognise as good we should start there

The Bible actually accommodates different theologies. The Old Testament portrays an ethnic god that helps Israel to win wars and destroy and enslave other peoples. Jesus showed some ethnic thinking but did not pay much attention to it. Paul is more inclusive and global in his thinking, portraying god as now accepting also pagans as his followers. People just cherry pick what pleases them. It is yet contradictory and outright silly to think that the creator of every single person would prefer some nation, especially the modern ones

Please consider posting your videos on Facebook. There’s an audience that doesn’t see TikTok, and they need this.

Thank you! I am currently writing a book called Reimagining Christianity and I’m weaving a lot of different pieces into it. That preference is helpful to support that particular thread
