• Augustine’s doctrines have profoundly shaped Christian thought but introduced dangerous errors: justification of holy war, coercion in evangelism, and church-state fusion.

• Early Christians exemplified courage through martyrdom and spiritual warfare, not physical violence.

• Christian nationalism is a modern manifestation of Augustine’s error, blending patriotism with militant religion.

• True Christian victory is spiritual, achieved through faith, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit, not through political or physical force.

• We must return to apostolic Christianity, rejecting Augustine’s legacy where it contradicts New Testament teachings.


Constantine and Augustine’s model created a false churchthat wrestles with flesh and blood.  The apostolicmodel taught us spiritual warfare. Jesus declared that He would build His churchand the powers of hell could not stand against it.  Let’s return to His model and get somevictory.  Amen.
