I find the term Christian Nationalism is too contentious and problematic to adequately capture my political views.
I prefer the much more straightforward label THEOCRACY.

To my friends who don't share my views on the 2nd Commandment, I would just say this:
If you're going to image Christ, at least be historically accurate and make him White.

The issue is not whether you will sacrifice to Yahweh or not; the issue is whether you will sacrifice to Yahweh or sacrifice to Baal.
The question is not whether Jesus is lord or not; the question is whether Jesus or Caesar is lord.
There is no neutral, libertarian, pluaralistic middle ground. Jesus is lord and all his enemies will be tread under his wounded heel.

"In the Psalms, judging is more often than not a saving action, God intervening on behalf of the innocent and oppressed. (In English the word "judge" tends to focus more on condemning than on rescuing.)"

Calvin's biblical acceptance of the (morally restricted) use of interest rates and markets made economic development speed up drastically. The results of this are seen today in the Human Development Index. Countries governed historically by Protestantism have visibly developed much more.

This effect is due to more than Calvin's qualified acceptance of interest, but also the Protestant work ethic as a whole. I've explained the idea in a previous blog post. https://t.me/protestantpost/109

This week I'm looking at the evidence for the idea of the Protestant work ethic. I found a very robust correlation between the percentage of a nation that was Protestant and their GDP/capita (as the graph depicts). However, I think the sociologists' explanationβ¦

Baptists argue that Hebrews 8, quoting Jeremiah 31:34, proves that the NC consists of the regenerate only, with the words, "And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more." This argument is faulty on four counts.
1) The original interpretation and fulfillment included children, and while there can be a second and greater fulfillment, it cannot contradict the first or narrow (but only expand) the recipients in scope.
2) Clearly in the NC we still admonish one another to know the Lord, so either a) this NC is not in effect or b) this is prophetic language intended to communicate a broad point and should not be coerced into literalism.
3) Regeneration is a blessing of the Covenant of Grace, so it is a post hoc ergo prompter hoc fallacy to confuse the blessing of covenant faithfulness with the means of covenant membership.
4) Finally, the Hebrew term underlying the phrase "the least of these" often has reference directly to children.

Heidelberg Catechism, Question 74:
Are infants also to be baptized?
Yes, for since they, as well as the adult, are included in the covenant and church of God; and since redemption from sin by the blood of Christ, and the Holy Ghost, the author of faith, is promised to them no less than to the adult; they must therefore by baptism, as a sign of the covenant, be also admitted into the Christian church, and be distinguished from the children of unbelievers as was done in the old covenant or testament by circumcision, instead of which baptism is instituted in the new covenant.
