Jesus’ Birth and Christian Nationalism

The recent three queens of America’s finest universities testifying to their ethical flexibility about rhetorical calls for “genocide of the Jews” are a crystal-clear reminder of how dangerous false knowledge is and how it grounds the deadly genocides of any age we care to look at.

One of the many pathological critiques offered by our corrupt intellectual culture is an urgent warning about impending Christian Nationalism. This is the latest expression of a decades-long tradition that demonizes Republicans as coming to implement The Handmaid’s Tale and a fierce violation of a treasured canard of secularism: the separation of church and state. Christmas is more and more the cultural centering of Christianity as a cultural and political message. Now is an ideal time to arm ourselves against the serpents of false knowledge to better understand Jesus’ political message.

Of course, there is nothing more political than what has happened in human history than the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This is an important premise in responding to those who wish for Christianity to ‘not be politicized.’ Of course, it is wrong to subordinate Jesus to some ideological idol such as Naziism or the vicissitudes of the KKK. That is rather, however, the necessary point -- a point that is profoundly political. Jesus embodies truth that will set us free. The eighth chapter of John contains Jesus’ teaching on the matter that “the truth will set us free” -- veritas liberabit vos. This became a motto of many great universities, including Harvard. This great teaching is the cornerstone of 2000 years of critiquing the radical supremacies of human ideologies from Africa to the Asian continent. Humanity’s primary political argument is: we will kill those you love in public unless you agree with Us.

“And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; 11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Merry Christmas, everyone! One thing I’ve never been able to figure out: I live in a very conservative part of a red state, attend a very conservative church, have visited other conservative churches over the years, but I have NEVER heard a single person mention “Christian nationalism” - is it just one more thing thing the media invented out of thin air to smear conservative Christians?

“Christian nationalism” exists only in the fever swamp of leftoid minds. It’s a make believe bogey man designed to stir panic and hatred among the wokebots thus insuring a steady stream of donations and an ever ready army of brainless NPCs available to riot at a moment’s notice.

What’s this “Nationalism”?

Perfect description, and extraordinarily well said

as posted b4, since the IRS provided even the "Resolutely non-theistic" Satanic Temple with religious tax exemption, then there should be no negative distinction btwn freedoms provided for groups promoting faith-based ideology such as holds that gender is fluid, and thus biologically-based pronouns are to be censured, and formally religious orgs.

From one of its wokeism disciples (from the Council of Transexuality):

intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality...has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial...movements...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity...our aim will be to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality...are embodied and experienced." Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104.

Well... it’s actually a little more than nationalism 😇

Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Rev. 11:15

...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10, 11

Sorry, all pretenders to the throne - it’s just a matter of time. Bow now or bow later. I suggest now.

Many times I’ve heard people ask, “Where is the USA in biblical prophecy?” Imagine the arrogance of that question. Imagine a Brazilian, or Chilian asking that question. Imagine Panama asking that question.

Thanks for posting that.

Reading that short clip made my brain hurt

Theodore Roosevelt said, “To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”

Yes we all need to read what the left is saying to defend ourselves.
