"What Would Jesus Have Said to the Christian Nationalists?"
(A question posed in a video, from a channel created, and wholly produced, by Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen)
(btw - I like Bjorn. He's generally very considerate, intelligent, and kind, as well as an author and traditionalist. Check out his channel. Good stuff.)
(In response to his video, link posted below)
First, allow me to state that I enjoy your show. I appreciate the plethora of topics you speak on, particularly your common sense bearing on the errors of wok(e)ism and the feminization of our young men (and some older men). However, I think perhaps you're a bit out of your element on this one.
You admit you're not a Christian, yet you feel educated enough on the subject matter to speak on it. You're not American, but you feel informed enough to speak on it (MAGA, politics, etc.), as well.
Here is my position. I hope it helps your understanding.
I'm American. 10th generation. My ancestry is Scot, Irish, Saxon, and Norwegian. Probably why I like your show. I come from a very long military lineage. Even two of my boys are military - one Marine, one Soldier. I'm a Traditional Catholic (pre-Vatican 2 and pre-progressive/modernism). I'm an historian, philosopher, and archaeologist, by education. I'm a Constitutional Conservative.
When I was young and understood much less, I was democrat, progressive, liberal, and pagan. After years of education and research, and a few undeniable nudges from God, my world view changed. Essentially... I grew up. I put away the notions of youth and idealistic notions of utopianism. That is not the world we live in, nor was it ever. Our world needs order. It needs to hold on to traditions. I'm positive that you appreciate That one. Our world also needs God. When we do not follow him, our societies eventually fall to ruin, our moral center decays into nothing, and our very children pay the price for such hedonism and evil. That is also evident everywhere on this Earth, more so today than much of the past.
To be a nationalist is to be a patriot to your country. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as that country tries to maintain goodness and takes care of it populace, does not act out of evil or malice towards its own or its neighbors, exudes truth and good morals, protects the weak, aids those in need without compromising its own values or people. Too many people get this silly knee jerk reaction that "nationalism" means aryan, or national socialism, or fascism, or despotism... it does not. Those things are counter to true nationalism because they ultimately threaten the very thing they claim to protect.
You want a good example of nationalism? America, 1942.
You want a good example of Christian Nationalism? America, 1942.
Wanting the country founded upon God and Christian values to remain a Christian nation is not a bad thing.
It's the correct thing.
It doesn't mean forcing others to become Christian. That's between the nonbelievers and God. But it Does mean having a society that operates under the tenets of that religion (such as no murder, no theft, be honest, etc.) that gave those people the very freedom and peace they enjoy.
It also means not forcing demonic or insane garbage upon the Christian people of said nation because a loud, unhinged minority feel compelled to undo said nation, at the very fundamental core of its being.
Do I think America should be Christian Nationalist? Only if it is done right and not allowed to become a tyranny. Adhering to our core values as a Christian nation would see to that.
Do I think America 'will' become one? No. Because in this mortal life, we are not to find that sort of peace again, until Christ returns and the last great war is fought. That's Scripture.
It has hints of Ragnarok to it. Curious, no?
As far as MAGA goes... it's just a patriotic movement and slogan. We've had many over the last 250 years. This one will eventually fade into the history books, too. But for now, we need it. We very nearly lost this country to an evil, insane, despotic oligarchy taking orders from another evil, insane, tyrannical oligarchy (who probably meets in Davos every year).
We're trying to save our nation. And whether our cousins across the pond like to admit it or not... if We fall... eventually You all fall.
Pray we are successful. This fight will take a generation or more. If we're lucky.
God bless. Gruß Gott. Skol. 🤟

*FYI - This was a comment I originally posted on a yourube channel (link above), which the fascists running yourube (not the channel owner - he's cool) quickly removed w/o warning. Since I felt compelled to write it, and it took a little thought and had some meaning (at least to me), I'm reposting it here. Yes... in years of dealing with the purple hairs at yourube, I have learned to copy/save all my lengthy comments because yourube is actually run by modern day nazi scum, and I do not trust them any further than they can throw a football.
If you're interested in this subject (Christian Nationalism), here is a concise, thoughtful piece written by Prof. David Carlin:
