Why Jesus Not Only Refused to Endorse Religious/Christian Nationalism, But Strongly Opposes It

I am one of the founding members of a group of like-minded pastors and academics called the Faithful Resistance Community Network.

One of our recent projects has been the production of a series of YouTube videos addressing important social issues that will have a bearing on how people vote in the mid-term elections next week.

The most recent video addresses the unbiblical, anti-Christian nature of “Christian Nationalism.” The movement of so-called Christian Nationalism poses a genuine threat to American democracy. But more importantly, it undermines the gospel of Jesus Christ with Jesus’ emphasis upon the arrival of the kingdom of God.

Jesus’ teachings about the kingdom of God and Christian Nationalism are diametrically opposed ideologies. They have as much in common as light and darkness. They mix as well as oil and water.

My friend, Gene Green, is emeritus professor of New Testament at Wheaton

College in Wheaton, IL.  Gene and I were enlisted by our group to offer a brief New Testament introduction to the anti-Jesus nature of Christian Nationalism.

Please take a few minutes to listen to Gene and I offer our biblical critique of this dangerous, unbiblical ideology.  Click here to watch.
