Given all the slander thrown at Christian Nationalism lately, I think it's well worth a 🧵to clarify the matter (as I see it.) 1) Christian Nationalism is a political ideology informed by the Christian faith, not a religion informed by political ideology.

Stone Choir's legacy of fearless assaults against the Spirit of the Age is something for which we ought to be grateful. May God use it for His glory and for the good of His people.
Stone Choir's 107 episode canon is now closed. The tasks & duties ahead for us all won't involve new information or arguments. Every man who desires the truth may readily equip himself. This short closing episode answers every question we care to address.

“Today is my 111th birthday!” “Happy birthday!” “Alas, 111 years is far too short a time to pay off my 80-year mortgage on Bag End.”

What has become the most outrageously expensive? The things for which we've made huge piles of money available to "help:" Healthcare (insurance) Houses (mortgages) College (student loans) Our leaders know 50yr mortgages are just another step towards "own nothing & be happy."

"But if we actually make housing affordable, our home values will drop, and we'll lose money!" One's house should be a durable good for the benefit of his family for many years--not an "investment" with which he pretends to be rich because a number on paper went up.

We do not have a "shared foundation of our faiths" because Christianity in both the Old and New Testaments is founded on Christ Jesus, whom you reject. We do not want you to keep insinuating your false religion into Christianity.
Dear Christian brothers and sisters in America , We Jews make up only 2% of this great nation, yet we’ve long felt the weight of the world on our shoulders. America is — and has always been a Christian country, rooted in Judeo-Christian values. Now it’s time for Christians

Inasmuch as this is true, it only makes LCMS membership a meaningless standard for admission to the altar. In which case, it should be done at the congregational level anyway.
When an LCMS pastor says to someone, “Don’t worry friend, other LCMS congregations have refused to commune you, but I will,” that is Open Communion.

The number of Christians participating in the rites of apostate Judaism is astonishing. I remember in my Calvary Chapel days how many would try to celebrate "The Feast of Trumpets," "The Feast of Tabernacles," etc. Stop it. The shadows have given way to the Substance.

If the event weren't a religious test in the first place, declining the invitation would never have been controversial.
When @bethanyshondark invites you to Shabbat dinner do yourself a favor and go. Just make sure you’re wearing stretchy pants and are prepared to get roasted by her army of sharp-witted children. There is absolutely nothing preventing any Christian from joining a Shabbat table

A) Destruction of the current order is the entire point. B) Race communists & foreigners will never "wake up" and praise you for being right because rectitude is not their concern. C) Most of the people voting for him never "fought communism all those years" in the first place.
Maybe after this communist utterly destroys the Big Apple, hopefully gets impeached for doing it, people will wake up and go, "Oh, I guess we were right to fight communism for all those years."

A husband's desire for his wife is a gift of God, not a consequence of "porn brain." However, a wife's belief that sex is something for her to parcel out at her whim is definitely a consequence of fornication brain.

Foreigners wish to live and be governed differently than natives, and there's nothing wrong with that. But when foreigners come onto your soil and impose their political will on you, that's an invasion regardless of whether they used guns or votes.

Eventually, you’ll agree with us that it’s time to repeal the 19th Amendment, and it may be sooner rather than later.

As someone who just wants to be left alone, I hate that the side that just wants to be left alone always loses. So when God gives my side radicals with a more effective attitude, I try to be grateful instead of complaining about their tone or accusing them of fake sins.

People are literally electing pro-murder-the-opposition candidates, but they still think everyone will vote for them once they finally prove how nice they are. Conservatives are the ultimate simps.
We will lose elections until the actual nazis, actual racists, actual misogynists, and actual authoritarians are vomited out of the Right. We will lose until we make the Left's worst accusations false again.
