I don’t want America to be a Christian nation.
Christian Nationalism is toxic and abusive, and nations can’t be Christian anyway.
I just want Christians in America to live and love like Jesus.

2. An explanation of how a Christian can engage politically without practicing Christian Nationalism.
Here is my attempt to provide both, with assists from and .

The answer is inherent to the definition I provided (via @profsamperry and @ndrewwhitehead).
Christian nationalism “advocates a fusion of American civic life with a PARTICULAR type of Christian identity and culture.”

Jesus constantly agitated and confronted the corrupt leaders of His day. Jesus was way more hardcore than any of you “live and let live” panderers ever consider. Read the New Testament. Don’t just cherry pick. Read it all. Like, in context - long form.

The only thing funny about this is when Christians think America could be God’s nation. There’s only one country that is Gods and that kingdom will cover the earth in the end. Jesus isn’t coming back to rule from D.C. 😂 we don’t know the date but we know the location

This is an interesting perspective. 🤔
Nice.

The inevitable outcome of an entire nation of people becoming Christian is a State based on Christianity and the ethics of God. This is what the Kingdom being enacted on Earth looks like.
Obviously we cannot consummate the Kingdom in fullness, that only happens when He returns

I’m not even sure that there can be such a thing as a Christian nation. It’s bad theology. “Christian” is a great noun but not a great adjective
