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 violence,” Says the Lord of hosts.“Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.”], as same-sex marriage gains a firmer footing [same-sex marriage is a doctrine from the pit of hell and mocks Jesus Christ himself Mark 10:6-12 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter. So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”], and now with the movement for transgender rights and visibility becoming more public [you can’t switch genders Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.], the panic of the Christian nationalists becomes ever more desperate [These perverts are coming to groom our children to be compliant victims of sex predators. I would hope that parents would have the conviction to protect their children from the perversions that Rev. Manderson promotes]. This is where all that rage among evangelicals is coming from. 

I'm no tough guy but I am happy to offer a challenge to any of these fake tough guys. Debate me anywhere, anytime. I am truly blue-collar, a member of the American working class. I am a Bible-believing minister and a flaming liberal [an oxymoron if there ever was one; his views are more compatible with Canaanite paganism than they are with Biblical Christianity]. I believe that the Christian nationalist message comes from the devil himself. [His pro-abortion and pro-sodomy views are from the devil.]  I am trying to save the name of the Christian faith and to stand up for American idealism. I oppose every part of the hypocritical, fake-populist agenda of the Christian nationalists and their enablers. I double-dog dare any of them, here and now, to stand up and take me on in public debate. Odds are they never will. [I will be happy to take him up on his challenge.  Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. Seem to describe Rev. Manderson quite accurately.  Be Bereans and ensure that the doctrine of the clergy aligns with the Bible.  1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.]

A word of caution to those who have the urge to travel to Washington, DC: based on what happened to the peaceful protestors on January 6, 2021, neither sanity nor Constitutional liberty is observed by local or federal government officials in our nation’s capitol.  Washington, DC seems to have fallen to the state described of Babylon in Revelation 18:2 and has “become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”  One of these “unclean and hateful birds” could be named “Michael” and spelled Byrd: the killer of Ashli Babbitt.  The violence that occurred during the protest on January 6 was nearly all perpetrated by agent provocateurs, FBI informants, or out-of-control Capitol Police.  Four people died of violence during the January 6, demonstration:  Capitol Offense: “The Ugly Truth Behind the Five Deaths from January 6th and 7th,” by Tayler Hansen, which appeared in his newsletter on January 26, 2022.

Ashli Babbitt, who was callously shot to death by Lt. Michael Byrd of the Capitol Police, and Rosanne Boyland, who, based on video evidence and witness testimony, appears to have been beaten to death by Lila Morris of the Capitol Police, and Benjamin Phillips and Kevin Greeson, who appear to have died as a result of the Capitol Police indiscriminately firing flash grenades into the crowd on January 6.  Never forget Benjamin Phillips, Kevin Greeson, Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland, and never cease to work to bring their assailants to justice.
