Seems to be a popular topic lately, thanks to the late Charlie Kirk. So after mentioning it a few times in my journal, I'll gather all continuation of it here.
These are my recent two posts on Facebook:
I wouldn't equate Christian Nationalism with White/European Christian Nationalism. Besides, Christianity is of Eastern origin (which resulted in the word "middle-EAST"), not Western, if we're really playing that game.
But Christian Nationalism = requiring everyone to be Christian/abiding Biblical laws (as interpreted by certain group) as if they are all Christians. With the inevitable belief that their country is also #1 in the world.
It actually despises the Gospel by using the Bible. Thus, it's anti-intellectual, anti-gospel and anti-biblical. And lots of self-righteousness with a sprinkle of having a god-complex.
Christian patriotism/patriot is just a Christian who loves his country. Which is alright.
On my FB Page (regarding the recent commission by PCA to do a study on the topic):
Take your time to do your study of it, but Christian Nationalism is anti-intellectual from a biblical sense, violating Gospel principle in Hebrews 11:6. Jesus never said to the gentiles "It is written...", J.G. Machen knew it well against public school Bible reading.
Therefore, those who like to begin politics in the public settings with "The Bible says so", they are not really saying "Thus saith the Lord", but rather, "You better listen to me, because you are wrong and I CAN NEVER be wrong, for I am a prophet of divine element" in disguise. In a way, they maybe blaspheming the Lord's name by secret implication of having god-complex toward any opponent, but hey, gotta be humble about it, so "Because the Bible says so" is more apt, right?
