Navy & Coast Guard (used to) fly the church pennant above the ensign during church services. Another pennant with Moses' tablets on it for Jewish services. Don't know if there's a Mohammedan pennant, but I hope not.
God and Country.
I have no problem with it. God is Lord over all the Earth, even FR.
Hit would be just as easy for him to fly the Christian flag and no other.
My allegiance is to God before country. I have no problems with what he’s doing.
I think it is better to have no flags.
My main memory of the “Christian flag” is when we were little kids we used to make homemade ones on construction paper which we would wave when we were having “Onward Christian Soldier fights,” waving our flags while whacking each other with sticks for fun.
What happens when you go to chapel every day in elementary school.
I'd also be okay if the several states flew their flags above Old Glory. Or at the same height.
After all, the States created the federal government, not the other way around.
The states delegate power to the federal government.
I wish there were more pastors like this one.
Flying anything higher than an American flag is going to offend some people straight off.
I was taught it’s always wrong.
But maybe it could make sense as a protest about the anti-christian direction the country is going in.
The problem is I don’t think that flag is immediately recognizable as “the christian flag”, seems like some people would wonder what it’s for or which country that is
He can do as his congregation wishes. I wonder though, how many would be outraged with a muzzie flag flying above an American flag at any random den of murderous muzzies (mosque)?
Amen and amen! I won’t say the pledge of allegiance to the US flag, but I’ll pledge to the Christian flag.
If I remember correctly from my long-ago days in the Coast Guard, the Chaplain’s pennant is the only thing that is SUPPOSED to be flown above the National Ensign. This is only done during actual church services.
Not sure what sort of Christian flag they are talking about, however.
I actually do think it’s the right thing to do.
I don’t think it’s necessary to elaborate why God should be exalted above all things. The Jehovah God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Besides, we see first hand what happens to America when she turns her back on the Most High.
United States v. Eichman,
the Supremes claiming that such a federal law violated 1st Amendment-protected speech, a decision which I will take arrows by agreeing with.
And although the states arguably have the 10th Amendment-protected power to limit flag-burning, if you can burn the federal flag then surely you can display arbitrary flags above the federal flag.
In fact, why not display the Christian flag higher than the flags of the constitutionally powerful states, and display the flag of the constitutionally humbled federal government below those flags?

I’m not offended by this. I do think there is an etiquette to how the fly the flag, but the Christian flag is different.
The first Islamic flag I see over old Glory, I’m not going to be a happy camper. I can tell folks that.
There is no Biblical or traditional warrant for a “Christian flag”.
I believe the pastor is not focused on his primary responsibilities.
This doesn’t bring lost souls to Christ.
As long as he flies the Stars and Bars beneath the American Flag.
I have no problem with it. At least, not anymore.
As long as America has now become so sick and depraved as to legally recognize two perverted homos as the same equivalent as a husband-and-wife, I have no intention of ever flying Old Glory again. This is no longer the country I pledged allegiance to.
