The American Revolution and the Kingdom of God - David Bercot - Ep. 046 

Thank you, David and interviewer. What a wonderful segment. Always learning so much and being spiritual nurtured is priceless. Keep those videos coming. God is blessing you. Amador, Kingdom Christian.

This video should be played on nation-wide television on a daily basis. Thank you.

So good to see David!

Well done, brothers! I am sharing this with several people. I pray they will listen. I am so glad we found (by God's direction) David Bercot's books a few years ago and now God has also led us to Porter Mennonite Church here in Oregon, of which we are growing towards covenanting with! Praise God for His leading us out of false Christian teachings and back to His Word, even after attending years of Bible College----scary!!! I cover my head now, as well, though my pic here is old.

I liked this talk, but I was thinking: if you lock your doors at night, is it indication that you’re not trusting God? If not, then why would having a military for our defense be an indication that America is not trusting God?

Great video!

Voting is not just a matter of taking up arms in war. Voting is for getting policy in place that would be in line with Christian ethical matters. If anything, it is a war against principalities and powers and we should be willing to fight against such powers with our voice (vote).

It's interesting because one of the main grievances the colonists had was the destruction of their fiat currency. England wanted to be the money changer. In that aspect, there is some Christian merit to the rebellion. The real issue is how we do not fight in the flesh as Christians. There is no "just war" teaching in the Bible. But, it wasn't necessarily about the taxes, though that was certainly a banner carried.

I absolutely need more information on this idea of 2 kingdoms and how that theology works out. All I can find on RU-vid is the Lutheran version, but if anyone can link me to something authoritative or from this source I would be very grateful. I’d even read a white paper.

I have not come across a serious discussion of the Anabaptist perspective vs a perspective such as Hillsdale College's point of view. It seems there would be agreement on small government and individual liberty, but how would the discussion turn out on how it all began (I am curious of general Christian view on this) or this idea of "two kingdoms". As I understand it, the Kingdom of God is spiritual and eternal, whereas an earthly country is truly just a way to organize human beings much like a school with a principal. It is just practical. For example, a one-world government would be foolish and dangerous, so nations are quite helpful. To compare the two kingdoms is to compare apples and oranges. One is political and temporal, yet useful and beneficial, and the other is not political, but rather, spiritual, and the ground of ultimate reality from which all human activity obtains its identity. To ignore earthly government responsibility is to ignore the good you know to do. Is non-resistance meant to be interpersonal rather than regarding state protection or even defending the innocent so as to not be complicit in violence? I realize the discussion of non-resistance is another issue, but it seems to be relevant and is perhaps fundamental to the subject at hand. I am very interested in a deeper discussion of these two groups' perspectives. I care very much about the US, and as well, respect Anabaptists. I wonder how many people are in the middle of these two groups.

What about Peter's sword, and the whip Jesus made in the temple?

I wish you would have asked if they were slave owners if they could honestly be christian at the same time.

Should i read this book?

Indians could have been the first settlements of Solomon's era. 900-800 BCE. and if so, who's land is it?

Shouldn't we clearly and consistently point out to critics of Christianity that only atheists, agnostics, disobedient believers and false Christians did these wicked things that you mentioned? Shouldn't we point out clearly and consistently point out to them that they have no excuse for rejecting biblical Christianity since it doesn't teach Christians to do such things? I say this because the world seems to want to ignore these facts and point to rebellious believers as an excuse for rejecting true Christianity which is based on honest interpretation of the scriptures. I know that mention what I am saying but I think it needs to be stressed since the world seems to want to stress the evil that has been done by those who claim to be followers of Christ.

¡¡¡¡Traducción al Español Please!!!!!! :,(

This was a great presentation, but he missed the history of slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, etc. Like David, I'm not anti american, I just believe we need to be totally honest, even about our Christian history in America.

iF WE ARE 'ANABAPTIST PERSPECTIVE', are we 'avoiding Christ and HolySpirt perspective'??

Oliver Cromwell, Trust in God and keep your powder dry?
