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.

“I am writing as a Christian pastor — a Baptist, no less — serving churches for the past 52 years. Of course, I favor Christianity.”
This guy felt he had to state that he favored Christianity? That’s as far as I got with this schmuck. Jesus dealt with hearts and not political systems based on my reading. “Render unto Caesar ...” etc.
Having said all the Christian disciples essentially lived in a commune and shared everything. In Acts a family sold property and were badgered because they held back some of the proceeds from the group. The husband and wife both died from heart attacks I suppose.
But these early Christians chose to live they way they did and did not try to take over any political systems.
Yep.
Is his suggestion that Christians shouldn’t resist murder (abortion), sexual perversion and theft (non-prosecution of crimes), or that foreign invasion likewise should not be resisted?
Can he he give specific examples of the Christian Nationalist leaders he rejects? Mark Levin? Ben Shapiro? Kash Patel?
I called it, social gospel “ church.”
They lied to the HOLY SPIRIT. THAT is why they died.
That pastor fell for the bait - the deepstate set the thought and he ate the whole thing.
B.S. Alert!
Never met a Baptist, Presbyterian, or Episcopalian who didn’t usually come down on the side of communism, since the 1960s...

Which denomination would you suggest lead us?
PUKE in the extreme.
There is no such thing.
Christians have to stop giving validity to fabricated leftist talking points as if they are real.
Sure Stephen.
Are you Quidam?
Pretty slick calling Christianity “Christian Sharia.”
Pretty underhanded too.
Why?
Sharia is the law as followed by Muslims according to their interpretation of their texts.
The only difference is the religious texts and people’s interpretations.
Okay, but that’s not really a thing.
Your brain is addled.
The central question is, Who is Christ and Who is God?
Answer: Not Allah.
You’ve almost got the point. So close.
Nice try, little buddy.
You’re not all that inventive, pithy, or wise.
Try again. Free play.
Democrats just made up the phrase to destroy their enemies and this idiot has taken up their cudgel.
