The Hoax of Christian Nationalism

Many embrace the idea that Christian Nationalism has emerged as a political ideology focused on national identity and social order stemming from a belief that the U.S. was founded as a "Christian Nation" and that its success depends on maintaining a special covenant with God. When I read scripture that tells us God will send upon them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, I wonder if the cup has already started to pour onto many at this present time.

Before I address the historical narrative of their belief, let’s consider the contrasting words written in the New Testament which stands glaring to this fundamental ideology as spoken by Jesus Himself,

“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” (Jn 18:36)

Hmmm, our Lord has revealed that this present evil age is not the association that Christ identified, knowing that the god of this age is at work in the leaders of this world which has resulted in chaos, sin and death. Consider the prophetic disclosure as given through Paul.

“But our citizenship is in heaven—and we also eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.” (Phil 3:20-21)

Did you note the first few words of the sentence? “But our citizenship is in heaven.” Does not scripture declare that we are aliens and pilgrims who are passing through? Yet, we have many boasting of their allegiance towards America without any concept of where their true citizenship lies. The hope of an earthly political kingdom of righteousness in this age speaks to many of the leaders and followers that are blind to the plan of God in the last days.

Let’s shift to the delusion that this nation was founded by “Godly Forefathers.” There were 39 signers of the Constitution, where approximately 25 owned slaves (1787). There were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, of whom 34 actively owned slaves at the signing (1776). Notwithstanding, we are familiar with the famous quote as written that “All men are created equal” but many are unaware that written in this same document under the final grievance we discover the view of the Native, stating “… the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." Yeah, that’s right, the Indian was a savage that was set out to brutally harm the innocent settlers who came to this land in peace just to mind their own business. Well, there goes the idea that all men were created equal, positing the rights of “life, liberty and justice for all.”

The Constitution is an interesting document that was established with several clauses which were written in support of the race-based chattel slave system. William Lloyd Garrison, the mighty voice of Emancipation, called the Constitution a Covenant of Death, taken from Isaiah 28:15, by equating the signers to the corrupt leaders of Jerusalem. The Founders had no intention of stopping the sinful and inhumane slave system which was growing, so they adopted laws that would favor the majority of the slaveowners by protecting their self-interest. There were three primary clauses worth noting,

Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 (The Three-Fifths Compromise): This clause established that for the purpose of calculating a state's population—which determines both representation in the House of Representatives and direct taxation—enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a free person. This compromise gave slaveholding states additional political power and influence in the federal government.

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1 (The Slave Trade Clause): This provision explicitly restricted Congress from banning the "Migration or Importation of such Persons" (a euphemism for the transatlantic slave trade) prior to the year 1808. This effectively protected the growth and continuation of the international slave trade for a full twenty years after ratification.

Article 4, Section 2, Clause 3 (The Fugitive Slave Clause): This clause dictated that any "Person held to Service or Labour" who escaped into a different state—even a state that had abolished slavery—could not be legally discharged from their bondage by that state's laws. Instead, they had to be "delivered up" and returned to slavery.

It is quite evident that this nation was founded upon racism and bias against anyone other than the white male. This is our history, and the millions of uneducated and hardened people who proudly declare themselves to be Christian Nationalist are confused as to how one can reconcile the biblical and historical contrasts to an empty political ideology. The end of both leaders and followers will be equated to falling into a ditch – either in this age or in the age to come.
