I agree with most of what you say. Our nation was certainly founded by Christians. No other people would have been selfless enough to give us this gift at great personal cost.

And they believed if we kept our goodness, we could keep the gift.

But “Christian Nationalist” has the wrong ring to me. It sounds like the Inquisition, not the American people.

I want people to follow our Messiah as much as you do, but in order for us to get that, we have to ALLOW it, a completely free conversion, with no coercion. Otherwise it’s not a completely free choice.

We all know people who were “brought up Christian” who are no more Christian than the man in the moon. That’s because they never really had to make the choice for themselves. The people in my life who are the most Christian in their thinking are converts to Christ, born-again Christians, and Baptists who have to make a decision when they are old enough. I guess I should add “anyone who makes a conscious decision to be Christian.”

It’s not a denomination, or a place to go on Sunday. It’s a total dedication of heart, soul, mind, and strength. And if I’m not mistaken, Jesus added the word “mind” to that original threesome from before the modern age.

Once you make up your mind, it’s done.

I agree with allowing people the freedom to choose, with no coercion.

I do not agree with allowing the Media/universities/leftists/Islamists to freely inject poison into our culture. Which is what they have done.

BTW, I am a Baptist FWIW.

God bless Firebrand. ‘Pod and the Missus.
