237 - Christian Nationalism

Christian Nationalism is not a new doctrine. The church has always believed that Christ is King and the nations must operate under the law of God. Where Christian Nationalism can go amok is in (1) making the subjugation of earthly kingdoms the main goal of the church, and (2) in preaching that the subjugation will actually take place in the present age. Although we preach the rule of Christ, we understand that it will not be fully realized until Christ returns to set up His heavenly Kingdom. As far as this unsaved word, Jesus taught, They would not have this man rule over them" (Luke 19). This explains the Left's outrage over any talk of Christian Nationalism.
