Christian Nationalist: What Does It Mean?
 |
Here are some questions to ask the next time someone uses the term "Christian nationalist."
It’s become one of those terms people throw around constantly without ever defining. And that's by design. It's meant to end a conversation instead of start one.
So let's start one.
*Question 1*: What exactly do you mean by that?
This is the most important question because the answer reveals everything.
If they mean "the government should force everyone to be Christian & enforce Christian theology by law," then I agree, that should be rejected. But that's almost never what's actually being described.
In the vast majority of cases, "Christian nationalist" is being used to describe conservative Christians who vote their convictions, make biblical arguments in the public square, & believe that America was founded on Christian principles. In other words… it's being used to describe normal civic participation by people who happen to be Christian + Conservative.
CNN recently aired a special defining Christian nationalism as "the belief that our country was founded as a Christian nation & that our laws & institutions should reflect Christian values."
By that definition, virtually every American Christian for the first 200+ years of American history was a "Christian nationalist" (including our Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, & Martin Luther King Jr.)
The term is being used to make something historically ordinary sound extremist.
*Question 2*: Was Martin Luther King Jr. a Christian nationalist?
This is where the term falls apart.
MLK was a Baptist minister who explicitly used Christian theology (Imago Dei, the prophetic tradition, the Sermon on the Mount) to push for laws that forced millions of Americans to comply with his Christian convictions about human dignity.
The Civil Rights Act overrode the "free will" of millions of citizens who genuinely disagreed with him. He imposed his biblically-informed moral vision on the nation through legislation.
Was that "Christian nationalism"? Was he "forcing his religion down people's throats"?
If they say no (& they will), then their objection was never about Christians influencing politics. It was about _Christians_ influencing politics in a direction they disagree with.
*Question 3*: Were the abolitionists Christian nationalists?
American abolitionists were overwhelmingly pastors & churches arguing from Gen.1:27, Gal.3:28, & the Philemon epistle that slavery violated God's design for human dignity.
They didn't just privately believe slavery was wrong. They organized, campaigned, & pushed for laws that forced an entire nation to comply with their biblically-informed convictions.
They "forced their religion" on slaveholders. And the country is better for it.
*Question 4*: Have you ever applied that label to a Democrat (why or why not)?
Democrats frequently use Jesus & Scripture to justify their political platform. (but for some reason the label never applies to them). James Talarico is a great example, but he’s not the only one.
"Welcome the stranger" gets cited to support immigration policy. The Sermon on the Mount gets invoked to argue for social programs. "Whatever you did for the least of these" shows up in healthcare debates. Progressive pastors use Jesus to advocate for government spending, gun control, & other regulation all the time.
Is that "Christian nationalism"?
And while we're on consistency… Black churches have been among the most politically active institutions in American history, & they remain so today. Politicians regularly speak from their pulpits. Voter drives are organized from their sanctuaries. Pastors openly advocate for candidates & policies from behind the lectern.
But I've never once heard anyone call that "Christian nationalism." I've never heard anyone demand "separation of church & state" when a Democrat speaks from a Black church pulpit the Sunday before an election.
The label only seems to appear when White Christians engage politically in a conservative direction.
Do you see the double-standard?
*Question 5*: Do you really believe we shouldn't "force our morals" on others?
This is the one that collapses the whole framework.
Every law imposes someone's morality. Every single one.
Laws against murder impose a moral view. Laws against theft impose a moral view. Civil rights laws imposed a moral view.
The question is never "should morality influence law?" It always does. The question is WHOSE morality & on WHAT basis.
When someone says "you can't legislate morality," what they actually mean is _"you_ can't legislate YOUR morality." They're perfectly fine legislating their own. They just don't want competition.
And here's the deeper issue…
When someone rejects the idea of any authority higher than the State, then government functionally becomes the highest authority. There is no God above it, no moral law beyond it, no standard to appeal to over it.
In that framework, politics becomes religion, policy becomes doctrine, & anyone who claims an authority ABOVE the government (like, say, God) becomes a threat to the system.
That's why the push to keep outspoken conservative Christians out of politics is so intense.
It's not because they oppose faith mixing with politics (they like it well enough when it serves their cause). It's because Christianity represents a competing authority claim. A God above government is intolerable to someone whose god IS government.
As Rev. Josh Howerton pointed out, the church didn't move into politics. Politics moved into theology. When the government went from building roads to redefining marriage, erasing biological sex, & reframing the killing of the unborn as "healthcare," the Church didn't change its position. The culture moved, & then acted shocked that the Church didn't move with it.
There's an enormous amount of ground between "establish a theocracy" vs. "keep your faith completely private." Christians have occupied that ground for the entire history of this country.
So the next time someone throws "Christian nationalist" around, don't flinch. Ask them these 5 questions. And if they can't answer them consistently, then what they're really saying isn't "keep religion out of politics." It's "keep YOUR religion out of MY politics."
Lybia Under Gaddafi
Laura Aboli
Contrary to the lies we were fed by MSM about Gaddafi, the truth is extraordinary….
Libya was the world's poorest country in 1951. Gaddafi made it Africa's most developed country with $150 billion foreign reserves & zero debt. This was life in Lybia under Gaddafi:
1. Libya had no electricity bills, electricity came free of charge to all citizens.
2. There were no interest rates on loans, the banks were state-owned, the loan of citizens by law 0%.
3. Gaddafi promised not to buy a house for his parents until everyone in Libya owns a home.
4. All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that they bought their own apartments & started their families.
5. Education & medical treatment in Libya were free. Before Gaddafi there were only 25% readers, 83% during his reign
6. If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds and livestock.
7. If citizens cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.
8. If you bought a car, the government finances 50% of the price.
9. The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.
10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)
11. Since some Libyans couldn’t find jobs after school, the government would pay the average salary when they couldn’t find a job.
12. Part of oil sales in Libya were directly linked to the bank accounts of all citizens.
13. The mother who gave birth to a child would receive $5000
14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15.
15. Gaddafi implemented the world's biggest irrigation project known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT" to ensure water availability in the desert.
They killed him for many reasons but mostly because he was a rebel against the system of power that is strangling us more and more each day.

Uma Imprensa Independente e Honesta?
As Grandes Citações, Um Livro de César Stuart, Lyle Stuart, Nova Iorque, 1960, página 671.
A imprensa é honesta? A resposta chocante, mas verdadeira, a esta questão foi dada por John Swinton (1830-1901), editor do New York Times, numa palestra de cinco minutos intitulada "Reunião de Jornalistas", no Twilight Club, em Nova Iorque, a 12 de Abril de 1883. Eis o que ele disse:
"Não existe, nesta fase da história mundial na América, algo como uma imprensa independente, exceto a das pequenas cidades do interior. Vocês sabem disso e eu sei. Nenhum de vós se atreve a escrever as vossas opiniões honestas, e se o fizessem, saberiam de antemão que elas nunca seriam publicadas.
"Sou pago semanalmente para manter as minhas opiniões honestas fora do jornal com o qual estou ligado". Outros de vós recebem salários semelhantes por coisas semelhantes, e qualquer um de vós que fosse suficientemente tolo para escrever opiniões honestas estaria nas ruas à procura de outro emprego. Se eu permitisse que as minhas opiniões honestas aparecessem numa única edição do meu jornal, em menos de 24 horas o meu emprego teria desaparecido.
"O trabalho do jornalista é destruir a verdade, mentir descaradamente, perverter, difamar, bajular Mamon e vender o seu paÃs e a sua raça pelo seu pão de cada dia, ou o que equivale à mesma coisa, o seu salário. Vocês sabem disso e eu sei disso, e que tolice é essa de brindar a uma imprensa independente?
"Somos as ferramentas e os vassalos dos ricos nos bastidores. Somos marionetas. Somos os bonecos de mola, eles puxam os fios e nós dançamos. Os nossos talentos, as nossas capacidades e as nossas vidas são todos propriedade destes homens. "Somos prostitutas intelectuais."

The Independent and Honest Press - a quote from New York Times editor John Swinton
The Great Quotations, A Caesar Stuart Book, Lyle Stuart, New York, 1960. page 671.
Is the press honest? The shocking, but truthful answer to that question was given by John Swinton (1830-1901), a New York Times editor, in a five minute talk, "Journalists Gathering," at the Twilight Club in New York, April 12, 1883. Here is what he said.
"There is no such thing, at this stage of the world’s history in America, as an independent press, if we except that of the little country towns. You know this and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.
"I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
"The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or what amounts to the same thing, his salary. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
"We are the tools and vassals of the rich behind the scenes. We are marionettes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our capabilities and our lives are all the property of these men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

If Possible Deceive the Very Elect
 |
That means it will look right, it will sound right, they will use the right words, & post the right verses, & that’s what we’re watching currently.
It’s suddenly “cool” to say 'Jesus.' Tech leaders talk about agreeing with the teachings of Jesus, government officials sprinkle around Bible language, Hollywood mentions God on stage. Ten years ago, that would’ve shocked people, now it trends,while most believers clap because at least His name is being said. But hear me: if the Enemy wants to deceive the elect, he wouldn’t remove Jesus from culture, he would push a version of Jesus that costs nothing.
A Jesus you can agree with but never obey, you can quote but never bow to, a Jesus who inspires but never confronts, a savior who loves but never judges, a cross with no blood, & a gospel with no repentance.
Paul warned us: "A form of godliness… but denying the power." That means it looks holy, sounds spiritual, but there’s no transformation, no fear of the Lord, & no surrender.
This is the part people don’t want to hear: Deception will not feel far from truth, it will be mere inches away from it! It will use the same name, language, & the same verses, but it will strip the power. The Early Church didn’t get killed for saying, “We like Jesus’ teachings.” They were killed for declaring, “Jesus is Lord.”
Right now we’re seeing a wave of public admiration for Jesus, but admiration is not repentance, & agreement is not allegiance.
Don’t get swept up just because popular people say His name. Do they preach the cross? Call sin sin? Do they bow to Him as God? Or are they presenting a safe, marketable Jesus? The Last Days deception won’t be anti-Christ at first. It will be almost Christ. And 'almost' is what deceives.
Stay alert, stay grounded in the Word, stay surrendered. Because the most dangerous lie isn’t the one that attacks Jesus, it’s the one that uses His name while deceiving people.

Porque é que eu não te disse? - A Voz Diária
Dennis Edwards
Porque é que não te disse "amo-te" mais vezes?
Porque é que não te disse o quanto me orgulho de ti?
Porque esperamos quando há amor para demonstrar?
Porque deixei que coisas supérfluas
tomassem conta do meu tempo, até tu te ires embora?
Agora tudo o que me resta são as memórias de ti
e o arrependimento por coisas que poderia ter feito, mas não fiz,
para tornar a sua vida mais feliz e leve.
Sinto muito pelas vezes em que falhei consigo.
Lamento as vezes em que não estive presente.
Mas mesmo agora, filho, estás a ensinar-me.
E pela graça do meu Pai do Céu,
serei um pai melhor por sua causa.
Querido Martin, tenho saudades tuas.
Amo-te. Papá.

Deuteronomy 1
Deuteronomy 1 King James Version
1 These be the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them;
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God does give us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God:
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers.
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 So I spoke unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
Why Didn't I Tell You?
Why did I not tell you, how proud I am of you?
Why do we wait when there is love to bestow?
Why did I let the unessential things,
crowd out my time, until you were gone?
Now all I have is my memory of you
and regrets of things I could have, but did not do,
to make your life happier and lighter.
I am sorry for the times I failed you.
I am sorry for the times I was not there.
But even now son you are teaching me.
And by the grace of my Father in Heaven
I will become a better father because of you.
Dear Martin, I miss you.
I love you. Dad

Ephesians 3
Ephesians 3 King James Version
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Epstein: A Conspiracy of Oligarchs or "Great Men of the Earth"
"These are the great men of the earth for by their sorceries were all nations deceived."
Revelation 18:23b
Ephesians 2 KJV
Ephesians 2 King James Version
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Ecclesiastes 12 KJV
EcclesiAStes 12
1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2while the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 4and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; 5also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goes to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. 8Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity. 9And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
