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.

The libs at the Star went around to any pastors that they could find until they found one who would write this. Evil.

Let me guess, the pastor is just fine with the social gospel, right?

A Christian Nationalist believes that man is born with god-given rights. And it’s up to the government to insure these rights remain intact or uninfringed. I think when they set the country up, some guys write this all down somewhere.

First, your comment doesn’t address my post at all.

Sharia isn’t the only alternative to Christian sharia.

Second. No one is saying it isn’t ok to be white, Christian or American.

Certainly true. American US Nationalism is definitely NOT their construct— no matter how much they dodge and weave on the subject. Anti-American and why can the US be more like loser Eurotrash.... that kind of construct.

White Christian Nationalism is a liberal construct.

Indeed. Pastor Jones, my dear fellow, you appear to have drunk the Kool-aid from the fevered brains of Rachael Maddow and Keith Olbermann.

The only place Christian Nationalism exists is the deprecatory screeds of the Democratic/Communists. It is the latest
iteration of the insults that the likes of Hillary^ will spout, like 'deplorables.

Take heart Sir, this new opprobrium is merely a smear on ALL Christians, white, black, brown or otherwise pigmented.

Then again, maybe you do believe that merely being patriotic, white and Christian is vile and in need of elimination. 🤔

There is no such thing as White Christian Nationalism. It is a mirage...something projected onto us by our Marxist enemies.

It is ok to be white. It is ok to be Christian. It is ok to be a nationalist.

I'm white...a Christian...and proud to be an American. I guess that makes me irretrievably evil.

Of course they are saying it’s not OK to be white, Christian or American. Just doing it sideways by saying Jesus is against those things.

The Catholic Church my lifetime church has become a den of social Justice vipers was educated in Catholic schools all the way through high school YET have been driven from the church just can’t not stand it anymore!! Found a wonderfully conservative Christian church with like minded people I enjoy being around! Catholic Charities being at our border enabling AND fighting for the invasion our nation was the red line, I had been feeling this way for probably a decade HOWEVER it was difficult after being a Catholic for my entire life to leave the Church!! I finally realized that God’s presence is NOT ONLY available in the Catholic Church his presence is available in MANY churches across this nation!!

Mark 16:15-18
Reina-Valera 1960
15 And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe, he will be condemned.
