00:00:00.000 What is Christian nationalism and why should Americans embrace it?
00:00:03.620 Christian nationalism is the belief that because all nations belong to Jesus Christ,
00:00:07.660 their governments and peoples ought to submit to Christ. This is not a theocracy in which the
00:00:12.020 church controls the government. Rather, it's the doctrine that Christians are called to disciple
00:00:16.140 their nations and expect civil rulers to govern according to the principles of Scripture.
00:00:20.840 This theology flows directly from the Great Commission in Matthew 28, where Jesus declares
00:00:25.180 that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him, and to disciple the nations,
00:00:30.340 teaching them to obey all that he has commanded. To be clear, Christian nationalists affirm a
00:00:35.240 separation of church and state, but not a separation of God and state. The church must
00:00:40.620 not levy taxes and must not administer capital punishment or run elections. Likewise, the state
00:00:45.880 should not administer the sacraments or excommunicate or govern the church. Church and
00:00:50.340 state are distinct institutions, but both are accountable to Christ. Ultimately, privatized
00:00:55.180 religion is a myth. Whatever people worship, they will eventually demand that their government
00:00:59.760 protect and promote it. So the question is not whether America will have a religious government,
00:01:04.480 but which religion will dominate our politics. Will atheism rule America? Will Islam or Hinduism
00:01:10.460 rule America? Or will homosexuals rule America? This is why Christian nationalism is such a vital 1.00
00:01:16.100 discussion. It's also why we seek to end abortion, to restore the household vote, to outlaw 0.77
00:01:21.520 homosexuality, to reinstate blasphemy laws, and to halt pagan immigration. We do so because they 1.00
00:01:27.500 reflect Christian moral order for nations. So, if Americans refuse Christian nationalism,
00:01:33.040 they will not get neutrality. They will get another religious nationalism. Therefore, 0.51
00:01:36.980 the choice is not Christianity or nothing. It is Christianity or something evil. 0.98
