Do the people in the replies know that Hart published a piece in the WSJ mentioning Baird’s book, and in response Baird tweeted a reference to Baird’s own mother being proud, and Baird’s publisher used the publicity to push book sales? The pearl clutching seems “effeminate” to borrow a word from the Presbyterian Christian Nationalists….
Given how the Presbyterian church has treated its own pastors — @ZacharyGarris@RickApplet0n and @ket38111 — why would conservative Presbyterians push for a Christian Nationalism with a civil magistrate promoting Christianty as the true religion. Those three would fair better under the secular magistrate than under one transplanted from the Presbyterian church. Likewise the US justice system would provide due process better than the those ecclesial courts. I can’t get my head around this CN movement.
@ShawnWGillogly@DirkWalstead The implied answer seems to be the “Christian” in Christian Nationalism means individual Christians in public office promoting conservative political policies, not the gospel.
I dunno. I agree with your death spiral conclusion. But this seems like a censorship and public square issue. Why not broadcast the President — even with the expectation it will be self serving nonsense — and let the public decide whether to watch and what weight to assign what he says? We don’t want networks going down the path social media platforms did in his first term. And it’s not like the networks will similarly opt to not cover the future Democrat President, no matter the absurdity of his or her intent or message.
Darby and Schofield were not influenced by Israel or its lobby with their development of dispensationalism. But maybe later proponents were. When and how did Israel begin its mission to target and infiltrate American churches and seminaries to exploit dispensationalism as its anchor to promote this Zionism?
@jordanbpeterson Many theobros are up in arms over this terminology, and perhaps understandably so, since it is more a political philosophy term that generally refers to the shared moral and ethical heritage derived from the Old Testament together with Christian moral teaching.
