- Explore the Profound Influence of Christian Nationalism on Society and its Hidden Impact on Culture, Politics, and Faith. 🌍
In This Video, We Uncover the Roots of this Movement, how it Shapes Communities, and the Challenges it Presents in a Diverse World.
I. THEOLOGY
SCRIPTURE. “You were running [the race] well; Who has interfered and prevented you from obeying the truth? This [deceptive] persuasion is not from Him who called you [to freedom in Christ]. A little leaven [a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers] leavens the whole batch [it perverts the concept of faith and misleads the church].” - GALATIANS 5:7-9, AMP
KEY TERM. “INTERFERED.” ‘Anakoptó’ [ἀνακόπτω]: “‘To beat back, check or hinder.’ The verb is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of hindering or restraining progress. It implies an interruption or a cutting off of a course of action. This term is often used in contexts where an obstacle or barrier is placed in the way of forward movement, whether physically, spiritually, or metaphorically.”
QUOTATION. “I can never figure out how to have a friendly conversation with someone when my main point is that they are going to Hell … Perhaps, the thought crosses my mind, I am resisting not God but people who speak for God. I’ve already learned to distrust my childhood churches’ views on race and politics. What else should I reject? A much harder question: ‘What should I keep?’” - PHILIP YANCEY, Where the Light Fell, 2021; edited
COMMENTARY. “‘Ye did run well’ - In the race of faith, love, and obedience; in true, genuine Christianity; believing its truths, experiencing its graces, enjoying its privileges, performing its duties. The exercises of faith and holiness, enjoined in the Gospel, are often in Scripture compared to the ancient athletic exercises of the Greeks, especially to the ‘Race;’ because in that exercise the greatest exertions of activity and strength were necessary to obtain the prize, Hebrews 12:1.
‘Who did hinder you’ - Who hath interrupted you in that good course; ‘that ye should not continue to obey the truth?’ - In this question the Apostle does not ask who the person was that had put a stop to them; but he expresses his surprise and grief at their being stopped. ‘This persuasion’ - Concerning the Mosaic Law, and the necessity of observing it in order to your justification and salvation; ‘cometh not of God, who calleth you!’ - To His Kingdom and glory.
‘A little leaven’ - If it be suffered to continue; ‘leaveneth the whole lump’ - Operates unseen, till it diffuses itself on every side: That is, a little false doctrine may soon corrupt the judgment in other points, and a small number of seduced persons may soon infect the whole Church. It is a proverbial expression, in which the pernicious and infectious nature of erroneous doctrine and vicious example is set forth. Hence our Lord gave the name of ‘Leaven’ to the Doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Matthew 16:11-12. The same name the Apostle gives to the Doctrine of the Judaizing Teachers in this passage, and to the Incestuous Person, 1 Corinthians 5:7.
‘Yet I have confidence in you’ - That, on reading this, and being thus warned of your danger; ‘you will be no otherwise minded’ - Than I am, and ye were, concerning the Doctrine of Justification by Faith; ‘BUT HE THAT TROUBLETH YOU [Antichrist and his followers]’ - And would pervert your minds from the purity of the Faith; ‘SHALL BEAR HIS JUDGMENT!’ - A heavy burden, already hanging over his head. The Apostle seems to refer to one person chiefly, as endeavouring to seduce them.” - JOSEPH BENSON, Notes on the Holy Bible, 5 vols., 1811-1818; edited
II. TEACHING
As I have argued previously, we true Christians must understand the enormity of what is about to take place here on the Home Front viz. the TRUMP CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AGENDA. Since I have already beaten the Basics of Christian Nationalism into the dust in the past several months, I want to take us in a somewhat different direction this time.
I will borrow here from MICHAEL SCHUMAN, writing for The Atlantic again in his piece titled, “The American Global Order Could End” (Nov. 9, 2024; edited). Schuman is a contributing writer at The Atlantic, based in Beijing, China. He is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub. Schuman has written several books on Asia, including Confucius and the World He Created.
