I’m a Baptist pastor. White Christian nationalism is the opposite of Jesus’ teaching
Kansas City Star ^ | MARCH 06, 2024 | STEPHEN D. JONES

Posted on 03/06/2024 2:57:43 PM PST by artichokegrower

I am writing as a Christian pastor — a Baptist, no less — serving churches for the past 52 years. Of course, I favor Christianity. And in my ministry, I invite persons to consider faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, it may seem surprising that I am a leader of an effort in Kansas City during this election year to resist White Christian nationalism. White Christian nationalism does not invite people into faith, but rather seeks to dominate, control and coerce not only individuals, but society.

Piss off, ‘pastor’ .. what you’re railing against is a statist fabrication of the ongoing Dhimmicrat circle jerk.

I suspect there are plenty of government stooges behind the pulpit.

Perfect!

It’s in depth policy positions like that one that provides all solutions.

Amend the constitution.

I have no idea, when HE spent his time on this earth these stupid problems did not exist.

HE was on a a mission to tell the world that all of this grandeur was but a prelude to what...if we led good lives...awaited us.

THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE, and you, Fuzz, have every right to interpret any way you like.

These so-called “pastors” are a big part of the problem. I’m sure he bent the knee to the blm terrorists.

What a cuck.

I am writing as a Christian pastor — a Baptist, no less [...]

He says that like it somehow bolsters his subsequent ludicrous claims, baseless accusations, and subjective statements!

“It’s just a new Democrat buzzword.”

During WWII, White Christian Nationalists gathered on heaving aircraft carrier decks for Sunday services.

“White Christian Nationalism is a leftist construct.”

Substitute “The Greatest Generation” and you’d be right.

Imagine that. A woke Baptist. Regardless of your personal views, so-called Christian Nationalism is what made this country great. Perhaps he/she/it should move to Europe with the rest of the butt-hurt liberals.

This is either naive ignorance or the Christian version of virtue signaling.

Rather than preaching against made-up sins, he should stick to preaching against real sins like bearing false witness... which is what liberals and deep state operatives do when they malign Christians and conservatives with phony labels like “Christian nationalism”.

"Amend the constitution."

The former Constitution does not need revision...
It just needs to be reinstated and reactivated, all of our former freedoms & liberties once again protected, and the Constitution used in schools as a training document...

He used to post haiku. He did one about His Slickness and Fat Bottomed Girl.

I remember two of the three lines of it:

Fat President Lies
Final Solution?
