Opinion: Christian Nationalism Is The Only Godly Option

It is time for Christians to acknowledge that modern Christianity has been badly damaged by the pagan values of the Enlightenment. For the first 1600 years of the Church, our fathers in the Faith and the flesh held as central to the Christian life two principles that spanned all denominations and sects. First, God’s will must be central to the life of every man and every Nation. Second, God’s providential hand is powerfully active in Creation every day.

When the first brave European explorers set foot in the New World, they fell to their knees on dry land and thanked God for bringing them safely across the unknown, treacherous sea. The next thing they did was to claim those lands for God and King. Both of these acts are a direct reflection of these two principles. They came here for God’s glory, and they made it here by God’s mercy. None of those men would dare place any other factor above these. Even the ones who also sought fame and wealth confessed that it would only come to them if God granted it.

The first Thanksgiving meals and days of worship in the 1620s were–like the harvest festivals of Europe that stretch back before recorded history–explicit thanks given to God for the bounty of nature that sustains every man. Every agrarian society, pagan and Christian alike, has acknowledged that weather, pestilence, and the health and growth of the crops are all entirely in God’s hands. We do not pray “Give us this day our daily bread” for nothing.

Fast forward 150 years from the first Thanksgiving, and things in the Colonies have taken a dramatic spiritual turn. The Enlightenment has been raging on the European continent for nearly a century. John Locke’s philosophy laid the groundwork for mechanistic Deism or the clockmaker theory. In this fundamentally new religion, a non-Trinitarian “God” created the universe, natural laws, and forces. He set them in motion, and then withdrew entirely to watch from a distance. This was the religion of men like Thomas Jefferson, who denied Christ’s Divinity. Jefferson was so convinced that Jesus isn’t God and that there were no miracles, that he chopped up, rearranged, and censored the Gospels until they reflected the solely human Jesus of his pagan mind.

Another principal architect of the Colonies’ revolt against England was James Madison. Immediately before helping to foment the Revolution, Madison was shaped directly by the philosophical teachings of the Scotsman John Witherspoon, who had just arrived to run what is now known as Princeton University. Witherspoon imported the very latest Enlightenment radicalism onto our shores, and his students reveled in the new and exotic wisdom from the Continent. Madison and Jefferson together championed Locke’s firm conviction that Christianity must be expelled far from the halls of government, in the name of progress.

Despite the fact that these foreign, pagan beliefs were contrary to the Christian morals of the majority of the Colonies’ population, they were imposed from the top and then spread as the founding myth of this new Nation. The winners wrote the history books, and nine generations later, everyone knows that of course, we have to keep Faith away from politics. The alternative is simply unthinkable. And this is the status quo of “Christianity” in America and the West today. This pagan Enlightenment principle is a foundational belief across virtually all denominations, regardless of where they fall in other “liberal/conservative” doctrinal battles.

We’re told that to be a 21st century Christian is to go to church, remain faithful in our beliefs, raise our families well, and be a spiritual and earthly blessing to those around us. That is all well and good, except for one critical thing: we’re told that is as far as we can go. Don’t like what’s happening to your Nation? That’s your right privately, but you’d better keep politics out of the pulpit. You can say your prayers, and you can hold your charity drives. And if you’re really upset, you can hold a prayer vigil or maybe even a march. But you may go no further. Anything beyond these passive means, and you’re committing the cardinal crime of “mixing church and state.” Stick to your prayer and soup kitchens, and leave the politics to the politicians.

The idea of Christian Nationalism is a lightning rod for all sides. The left is terrified because if this Nation returned to its God-fearing, God-worshipping, God-serving roots, it would undo their centuries’ work inside of a decade. And many conservative Christians are freaked out by the notion simply because we’ve been programmed that way. But to be fair, there are some very good reasons to be wary of the idea.

The most obvious objection from a Christian is that it opens the door for someone unscrupulous to cloak himself in Christian garb and take advantage of the latest fad; and frankly, they’re correct. This is happening right now on the right, where multiple big personalities have latched onto the burgeoning popularity of open Christian belief so that they can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from Christian supporters who just want a voice speaking for them. But the solution for grifters isn’t silencing all Christians. The solution is for the faithful to exercise spiritual discernment. As 1 John 4:1 records, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

The second and more theologically sophisticated objection is hinged on Jesus’ own words, “My kingdom is not of this world.” This is a very good objection because the confusion of political and spiritual power plagued Christ’s entire earthly ministry. The Israelites had been punished by God for their disobedience and unbelief and subjected to many centuries of rootlessness, subjugation, and political persecution. Jesus made clear to all that He did not come as an earthly ruler to free the Israelites from Roman rule, but as a Heavenly ruler to free all mankind from our bondage to sin and death. That is all true and correct, and not one word of it rebuts the idea of Christian Nationalism. God’s command to all believers is to be a faithful servant in whatever your calling is in life. He commands fathers to be faithful fathers, husbands faithful husbands, wives faithful wives, children faithful children, masters faithful masters, slaves faithful slaves. Our duty to God is to bear His image faithfully in the world for the benefit of those around us.

This duty to God must necessarily include the political sphere. Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…” Can a husband fulfill his duty to love his wife as Christ loves the Church if he won’t lay down his life for her? The scope of such duty goes far beyond “well maybe if someone breaks into my house.” The same duty holds if someone breaks into your Nation. This duty is fundamentally political. Can a father and husband be faithful to God if he does nothing while evil men overrun his Nation? No.

What then is Christian Nationalism? It is the acknowledgment that God’s will must be central to the life of every Christian. It is the acknowledgment that every temporal blessing comes from God. It is every man leading a faithful life as husband and father, not only under his roof, but in his neighborhood, his community, and the Nation into which God created him. It means we don’t stop being Christian when we step out our front door in the morning, and we don’t keep it a secret.

Some say that Christian Nationalism is contrary to the Gospel. This is because they don’t actually know what the Gospel is. The Gospel is utterly meaningless without the Law. “Jesus died for you” means nothing to someone who does not understand what sin is, why sin matters, or against Whom sin is committed. The only way we can possibly spread the Gospel message is to also spread God’s Law. To do so is Christian love.

For the believer, God’s Law is the rule for our lives, not condemning us, nor justifying us, but showing us how to live in accord with God’s will; it is a source of joy to live in Christ. For the believer and ignorant unbeliever alike, the Law is a mirror that shows us our own sin, revealing our need for a Savior and forgiveness. And for the malevolent unbeliever, the Law is a curb, binding his wickedness from harming those around him. The faithful Christian who has been taught God’s will has no choice but to bring that understanding to bear in forming the curbs of the political law which preserves godly order and civilization itself. This is Christian Nationalism.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced new legislation on Wednesday to fight what he called “corporate-sanctioned racism” in Florida. 

The governor said he is “taking a stand against critical race theory in our schools and in the workplace by calling for the enactment of the Stop W.O.K.E. Act.” 

The Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act would codify DeSantis’ executive orders prohibiting K-12 schools from teaching critical race theory. It would also give parents the right to sue if they believe their kids are being taught critical race theory in schools in violation of the law.

DeSantis said he views “wokeness” as a “form of cultural Marxism” that “is an attempt to really delegitimize our history and delegitimize our institutions,” mentioning the removal of statues of Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. He cited several examples of critical race theory being implemented throughout the country in both schools and private businesses, such as the Arizona Department of Education creating an “equity toolkit” that stated babies begin exhibiting racist attitudes as early as three months old, or the Santa Clara County, California, Office of Education lecturing teachers that the United States is a white colonialist regime and a “parasitic system,” responsible for domestic violence, drug overdoses, and other social problems.

DeSantis claimed that consultants are making a fortune teaching critical race theory to schools and businesses and said his legislation would put a stop to that. 

“Our legislation will defund any money for K-12 or higher ed going to CRT consultants,” DeSantis said at a press conference revealing the bill. “We’re also not going to allow the staff or employees or teachers in our education system to be subjected to that type of training where they’re forced to sit there and listen.” 

The governor also mentioned examples of large corporations using critical race theory in diversity training for employees, like Bank of America telling employees the U.S. is a system of “white supremacy” and that white toddlers “develop racial biases by ages 3-5.” 

DeSantis said this was “corporate-sanctioned racism” and that the Stop W.O.K.E. Act would protect employees from “harassment” at work. 

“Well, how is it not a hostile work environment to be attacking people based on their race or telling them that they’re privileged or that they’re part of oppressive systems when they’re all they’re doing is showing up to work and trying to earn a living?” he asked. 

The governor also drew a distinction between the terms “equality” and “equity.” He said equality means people are treated equally, “regardless of your upbringing, regardless of your race, you have the same rights and privileges as anybody else.” Whereas “equity” is a term used in critical race theory “to put the thumb on the scale in favor of their ideology,” said DeSantis. 

“This is something that’s significant, and they tried to act like it’s not happening. And you’ll have media who will say that this doesn’t happen even though we have all these examples. … So it is happening, and I think we have an ability to just draw a line in the sand and say that’s not the type of society that we want here in the state of Florida. We want people treated equally. We don’t want ideology,” DeSantis said. 

Ilhan Omar’s ‘Islamophobia’ Bill Passes Over Objections That It Will Inhibit Opposition to Terrorism

On a party-line 219 to 212 vote, the House on Tuesday passed the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which is co-sponsored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu). The bill calls upon the president to appoint a “special envoy” to fight “Islamophobia”; this envoy will head up a State Department that will monitor the phenomenon. Omar’s bill, however, is wrongly focused in all kinds of ways, not least of which is the fact that it will combat efforts to “promote racial hatred” against Muslims, even though Islam is not a race and there are Muslims among people of all races. Meanwhile, the raucous House debate raised other problems with the bill as well, including the likelihood that it will inhibit counterterror efforts.

“The office,” says the Washington Post, “would record instances of Islamophobia, including violence against and harassment of Muslims and vandalism of their mosques, schools, and cemeteries worldwide, in reports created by the State Department.” That’s fine, although it’s striking that there is no similar call for the State Department to create reports about violence against and harassment of Christians and vandalism of their churches, schools, and cemeteries worldwide, or violence against Hindus or any other religious group. Why the special treatment for Muslims? It can’t be because Muslims are uniquely the victims of persecution around the world; Christians are by far the most persecuted religious group.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) noted this, saying: “This word appears nowhere in the federal statutes,” and that the bill “prioritizes the religious persecution of Muslims over the persecution of other religions.”

Of even greater concern, however, is that the new “Islamophobia” office would target “propaganda efforts by state and non-state media ‘to promote racial hatred or incite acts of violence against Muslim people.’” As noted above, Islam is not a race, so “racial hatred” against Muslim people is not even possible. But if the way that the word “Islamophobia” has been used up to now is any indication, what is considered to be propaganda or incitement will be based entirely on subjective criteria, and include even reporting about jihad activity and honest analysis of its motivating ideology.

McCaul noted this as well: “It is so vague and subjective that it could be used against legitimate speech for partisan purposes. Even the term ‘phobia’ [connotes] irrational fear, not discrimination.”

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) also warned that the bill would be used “to silence dissent and critiques of terrorism.” He added: “By intentionally leaving the definition of ‘Islamophobia’ blank in this bill, the gentlelady and my friends on the other side of the aisle are creating an office in our State Department that will likely spew antisemitic hatred and attack Western ideas throughout the world under the farce of protecting Islam.” Indeed.

Perry is under fire for “baselessly” and “falsely” claiming that “Omar is an associate of terrorists” – or at least that’s how the Washington Post reported it. This, however, is what Perry actually said: “We all agree that nobody should be persecuted based on their faith. We all agree on that. But American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay terrorist organizations, organizations that the maker of this bill is affiliated with like the one that’s an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in the United State of America’s history.”

No one in the establishment media seems to have picked up on it, but Perry here was clearly referring to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is indeed an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case, so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.

What’s more, the United Arab Emirates named CAIR a terror organization in 2014. Ilhan Omar has been a featured speaker at CAIR events. So Perry was correct but is predictably being smeared as falsely accusing Omar.

Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) got to the heart of the matter: “This bill brought to the floor today is for one purpose only: to appease the hurt feelings of members who themselves have well-documented backgrounds of anti-American and antisemitic remarks.” Right. No one is talking anymore about Omar’s well-documented anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism. She has successfully played the victim card and shifted the focus of the public debate. We will be seeing a great deal more of this strategy in the near future, and why not? It obviously works.
