A faith-based organization has amassed more than 12,000 signatures rejecting Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's embrace of Christian nationalism, calling the idea "unchristian and unpatriotic."
Faithful America, an online Christian community that works towards promoting progressive ideas and social justice, launched an online petition on Thursday condemning Greene's perspective of faith and politics.
"Christian nationalism is unchristian and unpatriotic," the petition, which had reached 12,00 signatures as of Sunday, says. "It is defined not as a religion but as a political ideology that unconstitutionally and unbiblically merges Christian and American identities, declaring that democracy does not matter because only conservative Christians are true Americans."
Last week, Greene advocated for the Republican party to be one of Christian nationalism.
"We need to be the party of nationalism and I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists," Greene said in a recent interview.
Christian nationalism is defined as "the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way," according to Christianity Today.
Isn't it ironic how Faithful America's "progressive ideas and social justice" are Christian and patriotic, yet Christian nationalism is the opposite?
Imagine being a Christian and being anti-Christian at the same time. Does that remind you of any other oxymoron? How about being white and anti-white at the same time?
The argument of those who espouse oxymoronic views are always low-hanging fruit. So the Christians who are anti-Christian would say, "How can I be anti-Christian when I'm a Christian?" The same way that a white anti-white would say, "I'm white, how can I be anti-white?"
Everyone reading this has seen a white anti-white. They're as common as vultures at roadkill.
The assumption that someone can't be the antithesis of what they are is silly. Being something doesn't automatically equivocate into a positive representation of that something.
Traitors have always existed throughout history. Traitors don't typically view themselves as traitors. They think they are doing something good, or they're just traitors without any sense of loyalty to what it is that they are betraying.
The religion of liberal Christians isn't Christianity; it's liberalism. Liberalism is the god of the godless. Or, egalitarianism without God.
The church was always designed to act as a buffer against the state. To hold the line, if you will. The modern church (e.g., Faithful America) is a direct manifestation of the state. They are the state. They are fully supportive of every liberal idea that has been inserted into the sphere of culture in the last 50 years.
Liberal Christians support: homosexuality, divorce, diversity, transgenderism, open borders, feminism, usury, Judeo-Christianity (another oxymoron), etc, etc.
The Bible isn't a breathing document. In other words, it doesn't evolve. It's stagnant, and it's stagnant for a reason.
We are all sinners. But God sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins. God lays the blueprint in the Word that he left us. He will forgive those who seek forgiveness.
If you're a Christian, then be a Christian. If you're a secular liberal, then be a secular liberal. But you can't be both.
Repent!
Psalm 65:3 Though our hearts are filled with sins, you forgive them all.
