I am not suggesting we "disengage entirely from politics." But pushing Christianity by the arm of the state, and by grasping after the Sword, is not the way.
Discussion
Christian Nationalism is a smoke screen argument being seized upon by those who love their theological intellect more than simple truth.
And what the smoke is screening is this simple question “do rights come from God or the State”
“When two or three are gathered” thank you both for great discussion. I think this is an important point to get right for the future.
I say that the most Christian thing we can do is **un-vote**
Meaning-
Disengage as much as possible from the state and its fiat money system. (Fiat money is the source of their unjust power)
We will still “give to Ceaser what is ceasers” (pay taxes) however we will NOT voluntary add anything more to system- meaning no 401k or large bank accounts, every bit of capital we have should be in free and sound money.
Sound money allows us not to “love” and obsess over mammon or wealth- it is steady stewardship and without usury. Remember also the parable of the master and servants.
Remember taxes are not enough for their war machine anymore. Enough **un-votes** will crash the printer and the endless war machine with it. If you reason with me this way, you have a moral duty to attempt this. (This is not a sacrifice, I’m just telling you to stack sats)
And it is NEVER justified under the LAW to invade and murder foreigners in far away places, as the USG has brainwashed Christians into doing the past 50 years. Those wars and the current wars are not self defense. *you will hear of wars… DO NOT be alarmed*
I believe we can look to Rothbard and Mises to help determine the best way to live our lives in stewardship- the way Christ commanded us.
