Summary

A while back, James Lindsay raised several legitimate questions about Christian Nationalism. In this episode, Pastor Joel Webbon plainly answers them. 1) Sometimes Christian Nationalism suggests that we'll have some kind of magisterial state led by Christians. Which Christians? Who has the right theology? Who has the wrong theology? Creedal, not confessional; 5 Solas. 2) Do we get a state church? A Christian Prince (Pope?) as ruler? Christian “princes,” yes. Christian pope, no. 3) Do we get three-letter agencies enforcing religious law? No police state. You will have far more freedom. 4) It has been said that "atheism will not be tolerated" and "will be stamped out," how is that going to be accomplished? Through proper education. 5) Do you believe in the 1st Amendment? All of it? Yes. No favoring one particular religion “of our common Lord.” Adopt a distinctly Christian Preamble. #ZambiaForever #BlackLawsMatter 6) Do gays deserve tolerance? If not, would you want to execute gays? No police state. The closet is a safe space. Restore the grace of shame. Public celebration will not be tolerated. #UgandaForever #BlackLaws Matter 7) Do you prefer to live in a community of mainly only white people? Do you believe black people can be integrated successfully into the American population and form a cohesive and peaceful nation? Prefer to live with Christian Americans, skin pigmentation is of no account. Many black people in American can trace their lineage as Americans further back than many white people can. Illegal immigration would be stopped, legal immigration would be significantly mitigated. 8) Since it's a small minority view, how will it be implemented? Will you win over the population? How? Will it be forced? How? And by whom? Top-down without violence (LGBT replaced the American flag with a rainbow in 40 years with less than 3% of the population), also bottom-up through obeying the Great Commission. 9) How patriarchal will the system be? Can women vote? Will they have to cover their heads? Stay home? 19th Amendment will eventually be repealed. No and no. *Ministry Sponsors:* *Squirrelly Joes Coffee - Caffeinating The Modern Reformation* *Visit squirrellyjoes.com to purchase your coffee today!* *Private Family Banking:* *Email at [email protected] or call 830-339-9472 to schedule an appointment today!* To support Right Response Ministries, visit: https://rightresponseministries.com/donate Subscribe to our Theology Applied podcast below: Apple podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyapplied Spotify podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyappliedspotify Google Play podcast: https://bit.ly/theologyappliedgooglepodcast *If you live in the Austin area, Pastor Joel just started planting a brand new church called Covenant Bible Church in Hutto, Texas.

Welcome back to another live video with Right Response Ministries.

0:06.0

I am your host, Pastor Joel Webin.

0:07.4

In this video, I'm going to be addressing multiple questions that James Lindsay put forward

0:13.6

a while back on Twitter.

0:15.1

He was addressing Christian nationalists and saying, hey, I want some clear answers in his defense.

0:20.1

It is true that there is a big tent of Christian nationalists.

0:24.6

There is a ranging spectrum of people with different persuasions, convictions, theology,

0:31.6

and so not everybody is going to give the same answer.

0:33.6

I understand that.

0:35.6

The problem, though, is that some people, they're not just giving

0:38.6

different answers, but they're giving ambiguous and vague answers. And so these are certain

0:44.3

questions that I think are legitimate questions. I don't think they're just gotcha questions.

0:49.4

I'm sure that James Lindsay is trying to get us, and I have no doubt that this episode,

0:53.7

he'll appreciate very much. One, because I have no doubt that this episode he'll appreciate

0:54.2

very much, one, because I'm going to be plain and forthright in my speech, my answers,

0:59.2

and two, in James Lindsay's mind, it'll be a smoking gun because it will seem extreme

1:04.1

for any boomer-con post-war thinker, especially an atheist, non-Christian thinker. But the answers that I'm going to be giving are not radical or extreme. If we look at history, and we look at history a little bit further back than just the last 60 years. All right. So that's what I'm going to be doing today addressing James Lindsay's questions

1:28.0

in regards to Christian nationalism. Before we dive in, I have two things that I want to address. One is an

1:34.6

announcement and the second is a word from our first sponsor of the day. So let's start with the

1:39.7

announcement. Here we go. We have our upcoming conference, our spring conference. We do two annual

1:45.2

conferences with right response, a spring and a fall. So we have our fall conference coming

1:49.6

up. Check that out online. Go to write response conference.com. It's with Chris Wiley and Jared
