About this listen

 During this program, I will quote from the article "Christian nationalism is rooted in stupid tough-guy misogyny: What would Jesus say?" by Nathaniel Manderson, which appeared in Salon.com on February 20, 2022. Rev. Nathaniel Manderson was educated at a conservative seminary (Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, M.Div.), trained as a minister, ordained through the American Baptist Churches USA and guided by liberal ideals [pro baby killing and pro sodomy]. He is a self-identified white, working-class poor, Bible believing Christian [his views are closer to those of a Canaanite than they are a Christian]. He received his Masters in Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. Throughout his professional and ministerial career, he has been a dedicated pastor, counselor, adviser and advocate. As an academic adviser/counselor, he has served first-generation and low-income students that are trying to gain access into higher education for the past 13 years. During his career, he has also stood against his own seminary and spoken out against all forms of the evangelical right-wing political movement [Biblical morality, righteousness, Constitutional liberty and government accountability]. He has sought to speak up for all those that have become disenfranchised by today's political, spiritual and economic elite. Founded in 1995, Salon is an independent publication covering news and politics through a progressive [statist, globalist, Godless], nonpartisan editorial lens, alongside our rigorous and inquisitive coverage of culture and entertainment, science and health, and food. Our editorial mission is pro-democracy, pro-equality and justice and pro-truth. We ask and seek to answer in good faith — through original reporting, news analysis, investigations, left-leaning and politically independent commentary, insightful cultural criticism, personal essays and in-depth interviews — big questions, such as: What is the state of democracy in the United States and the world [the USA is a republic, not a democracy]? As I understand it, Christian nationalism is an idea now widely accepted within the evangelical church that the U.S. is a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles — no matter what it may say in the Constitution. [Article VII done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independance of the United States of America the Twelfth] This commitment to the Christian faith, as a nation, is the reason God blessed the U.S. as the greatest nation that ever existed. God will only continue to bless this nation, however, as long as it remains a Christian nation. As America becomes more progressive and increasingly secular in terms of politics, culture and faith, then in this view God will remove his blessing and protection and great evils will befall our nation. [Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Matthew 7:24-27 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.] This remarkable theory has no connection to any of the teachings of Jesus Christ or his followers, and is completely irrelevant to the Christian faith. I will certainly admit that I have a heart for American idealism. I have officiated at numerous Veterans Day and Memorial Day services, and I have felt the love of country enormously, on those days and all the days in between. None of that, however, has anything to do with Christianity. God does not play favorites when it comes to nations, people or cultures. That entire idea is morally and theologically absurd. [Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.] In truth, Christian nationalism is based not in the Bible or the teachings of Jesus Christ, but on the idea of the traditional American family [That is the Biblical family]. As roles for women have changed [thanks to David Rockefeller, who launched a propaganda campaign to stampede women into the workforce from the underground economy so that the government could tax them, while at the same time introducing large number of new workers into the workforce to keep wages depressed and having the children raised more by the state than by the parents], as divorce becomes more common [Malachi 2:16 "For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with ...
