I TOTALLY agree with you. I have often said, "If Jesus came back today in the same form as he did originally, it would be the Christian Nationalists that would put him to death", just as the leaders of the Jewish Temple were responsible for putting him to death the last time.

Rev Ed, as a practicing Episcopalian Christian, it sickens me to my core how those who call themselves Christians are pushing Christian Nationalism that from all you have described is so beyond diametrically opposed to Christ's teachings and gives Americans the very wrong and dangerous opinion that a large majorityof Christians believe and support Christian Nationalism.

I just left my church where my current pastor was cherry picking the bible to pressure people to vote for the party that is anti-abortion and anti-gay. He ignored all other biblical teachings about loving the immigrants, feeding the poor, etc. brushed them aside as mere “social programs”. The lady beside me was reading Matthew 7 the whole time. We sighed together. I told her that I had to leave. I am glad that I have never made my church the totality of my social life. The decision was hard and sad for me, but doable. After all I have sat in that church for the past 18 years. After the retirement and death of my old pastor, things started to change. For Protestants, too much is dependent upon the faithfulness of the preacher. I miss my old pastor.😢

Rev. Ed, I appreciate you so much. I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, attended all the Bible studies, youth groups, etc. Then, as an adult, my husband and I were part of the praise and worship team, and church was a huge part of our lives. We no longer attend church, and we are the non-MAGA outliers in our families. It is so difficult to see those you love fully embrace Christian Nationalism. Just yesterday, I was accused by a dear cousin of not being a Christian anymore, when my faith in Jesus is a huge part of my life...and a big part of why I no longer attend church. When it all gets overwhelming, I listen to your videos to help me cope. Thank you for being there. ❤

I'm sorry you're going through this. I understand, and not only have I experienced the same, but I know others too. What I have found is that I left the physical church, but I never left the Lord Jesus. I am still a part of Him. I still worship and praise Him and live my life for Him. People are on different paths, and we all have to find our way. I have tried other churches, and it just wasn't right. I just asked God to show me His truths, and I was led to a church online. It's not the same, but I have Jesus, and I know that I am pleasing Him and not people. I still minister to others as well. It took time in prayer to get over the hurt, but it brought me so much closer to the Lord. We have all been given a part to do in the body of Christ, and I pray that you find your part.

When I left Christianity, I kept in touch with my former pastor. The more I learned about Christian Nationalism, the more I warned him about it. He did the whole “we appreciate you” thing. He blew me off. I had written it off as my being a non believer. Then one day my wife and I were talking and she told me that my daughter had visited the church and saw our Christian Nationalist Governor there. I hit the roof. He had been playing me a fool or he was just not smart, but either way, he made me feel stupid. To add insult to injury, one of the hobby lobby/mardel family members attends there. The Greene family had been found to be donating to a right wing Christian Charity called Ziklag. ProPublica has a couple of articles about it. Ziklag funnels money to Moms For Liberty, Turning Point and alliance defending freedom. It is a tax free donation. Anyway, Christians are mostly in the dark about how dangerous it is as they sit in a church full of it. So so saddening.

I grew up in the church. Got thrown out at a certain point for failing to marry and reproduce (because what else is a woman for, right? /s), but I still practice on my own and attend a queer-friendly congregation when I can. Most people who get to know me are surprised to learn that I'm a Christian ... because by the time it comes up, I've usually already fed them, made them laugh when they were sad, and/or held them while they cried. They don't think of Christianity as a kind faith; certainly it hasn't been kind to them, and yet here I am, feeding them soup on a cold night. So the thing I get told, over and over, is, "If more Christians were like you, I'd probably be one." And yet I'm exactly the sort of Christian who'd be first against the wall in a Christian nationalist revolution. I've been told I don't know how many times that I'm a heretic and an apostate and a demon and God only knows what else, and that God's revolution will cleanse the earth of filth like me. If I thought they'd listen, I'd quote Terry Pratchett: "Never put your faith in revolutions, lad. They always come 'round again. That's why they're called revolutions."

You should have said, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw me out." Although, that may not have worked because they could correctly argue that that saying was not originally in the Gospel of John, but added by later scribes. The real problem is the fundamentalists (and to some extent evangelicals) reading allegory literally. The history of Christianity has one charlatan after another (starting with Paul/Saul of (supposedly) Tarsus) "reinterpreting" what Jesus meant. Unfortunately, no one knows what Jesus actually said (Paul never knew Jesus when alive and the Gospels were written 40 to 80 years after Jesus' death and they couldn't agree, even when they copied from each other). It is only interpolated into the theoretical Q document (which doesn't exist.) The more one learns about Christianity, the more problematic and disturbing it becomes.

I find it telling that that guy would posit such an extreme punishment for women who falsely accuse men, but not for men who are found to have done exactly what they are accused of having done. I find it equally telling that there are almost certainly people out there who identify as Christians and agree with him completely.

A bit out of left field I yesterday listened to the Archbishop of Canterbury being interviewed on the British podcast Leading. It is part of the Rest of Politics podcast. He was a person who simply oozed decency and reasonableness. One of the ironies of the interview was that it turned out in 2019 that it was discovered he was born out of wedlock. There had to be a frantic search to see if he was still eligible to be a Bishop. Thankfullly there had been a law passed in 1952 which had cleared up any issues. However the Archbishop had had to tangle with all sorts of problems. Ordination of women, LGBT issues. He had sought to work his way through these issues in a way that brought the rest of the Church with him. At a result the Church in Britain seems to have bottomed out and is growing again by about 1.5% a year. This includes young people. as well. Thus with a combination of leadership and decency things can go right

Those who call for executions according to Mosaic law should be reminded that according to Mishnah, a Sanhedrin that executes one person in seven years is considered bloodthirsty. And the procedure for execution in Biblical times required that the judgment be rendered by twenty-three judges, on the testimony of two eyewitnesses to the same act. The judgment was not valid unless proclaimed from the Hall of the Hewn Stones in the northern wall of the Temple (the place prophesied in Deuteronomy 17:10). Moreover, there were many rabbinic requirements for a death sentence. The witnesses had to be educated adult Jewish men who were known to keep the law; the witnesses had to see each other as well as the criminal at the time of the crime; the witnesses could not have any speech or hearing impairment; the witnesses could not be related to each other, nor to the accuesed; the witnesses had to have warned the criminal that he was about to commit a capital crime; the warning had to be delivered within seconds of the act, and the criminal had to respond that he intended to do it anyway (or else, the criminal would need to be given a chance to repent, and offend repeatedly). The witnesses had to be examined separately by the court, and if even one detail (such as the criminal''s eye colour) in the testimony differed, the withesses were dismissed. The judges could not convict by simple majority: it had to be at least 13:10. And a unanimous guilty verdict resulted in the dismissal of charges because if no judge could find something to save the defendant, there must me something wrong with the court. If sentence was pronounced in spite of all these requirements, the two eyewitnesses were required to carry out the execution personally. Two reasons for execution proclaimed in the Pentateuch (the stubborn and rebellious son, and the "city that has gone astray", communal idolatry) have never been carried out. All of these requirements made the death penalty virtually impossible. In any case, because the verdict had to be proclaimed from the Temple, there have been no lawful executions in Judaism since the destruction of the Second Temple. Objection to "will destroy the Church." Christ is alive, and will live eternally. He has promised that the Holy Spirit will be with us until the end of time. As long as She is with us, we will have a Church. The Church may well suffer horrible persecutions in retribution for the most un-Christian acts of Christian Nationalists, but Jesus himself warned of persecutions.

Reverend Ed, I couldn't agree with you more. Your message today is very grim but IS, most unfortunately, the truth. I feel so helpless and frustrated because being a believer in God and the Trinity, I hate what these Christians (in name only) are doing to our Lord. If I'm being honest, I truly HATE them and it gives me pain and anxiety to feel this way. How can I say I believe in God in one breath and then say, "I hate these Christian Nationalists."in the next breath? After all, they are my fellow human beings created by God as well. I guess I can rationalize it by saying the old expression, "I hate the sin, but love the sinner", but I'm not sure I believe that when it comes to these people. I don't understand how these people can proclaim to believe in Christ. They so often turn to the God and the teachings of vengeance and fire, damnation and brimstone from the Old Testament and NEVER...but NEVER turn to Jesus' teachings of the New Testament; forgiveness, tolerance, not to judge, seeing the beam within your own eyes, love your neighbor as yourself, etc, etc, etc. If it was pure ignorance I would be much more tolerant but I feel that in many cases, it is WILLFUL ignorance on the part of these nationalists because they KNOW that Christ's teachings would not leave them with a leg to stand on. THAT'S the part that I find abhorrent; denial of the Truth when one KNOWS that they are denying the truth to further their personal agendas. I mean, that's what many of the high priests were doing when they pushed to have Jesus condemned to death. Anyway, sorry to go on and on. I just had to vent. I have been watching your You Tube broadcasts for quite some time now and I get a lot from them. I just HAD to respond to this one. Thank you for what you do, Reverend Ed. After listening to you, I have been considering the possibility of converting to the Anglican Church since I have been very disillusioned with so much of the behavior, over the years, of those leaders within my OWN denomination (Roman Catholicism) I'm at a real crossroads; not with my faith but with the idea of following a strict observance of ANY organized religion. Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you." I have always believed that along with attending Mass. Maybe it's time to really take that quote of Jesus and live alone with his kingdom in my hear and soul, sharing the message with people when the opportunity arises. Perhaps. I don't know.

Christian Nationalism is a clear and present danger to the church, but it will not, cannot "destroy" the Church. The ancient promise of the continuance of a "faithful remnant" affirmed by Jesus himself, "no one can snatch them out of my hand" (Jn 10:28) underlies the hymn verse "The Church shall never perish. Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish is with her to the end...". But that Church is not what Christian Nationalists or those who fear them think of when they hear the word "church." That "church" is a human construct. The Church is all whose lives reflect the love of God epitomized and guaranteed to this world in the person of Jesus, the Christ of God.

I sometimes use the phrase that Trump and those like him will burn order to fuel their quest for power. I had a pastor once that was considering moving to a new parish. Everyone really wanted him to stay. I think that may have partly been the reason he moved on; that he may have thought the message was the important part, not the person. They seem to be using religion to get what they want, and at the same time, as you say, making it an ugly thing. Truth is very important.

I am a Catholic and I watch your videos regulary because you express Christianity as I understand it. I agree with you that "Christian Nationalism" is not at all Christian. I disagree, however, that it's an existential threat for two reason. First, history. "Christians" have done horrible things all throughout history; yet somehow the Holy Spirit manages to bring the church back to where it belongs. Second, is Christ's promise: "the gates of hell shall not prevail....' I am anxious in this moment because there is a potential for incredibly bad things to happen. But I recognize I am in this moment. I am hopeful that, no matter how bad things get, there is still an rainbow at the end.

Rev. Ed, they're an existential threat to all of us: Believer, non-believer and "different-believer," alike. I also wish that more, "real" Christians would take it upon themselves to get their own collective house in order. It's almost as though many have this "never question another Christian" attitude, or are just hiding under their pews, sending up prayers of thanksgiving that they are not the ones being targeted. Yet. Maybe some just feel that it's less awkward to have those who are already seen as the "Enemy" fight these battles as their unwitting proxies. I dunno. It's a subject that just keeps coming up and really bothers me, as an atheist who shouldn't even have a dog in this fight, yet here we are. It's gotten to the point where, whenever I hear someone trying to distance themselves from these lunatics who have hijacked their faith, their voice and there credibility by saying something like "We're not like *them*. *They're* not *real* Christians," I simply want to reply: "That's great, but why are you telling *me?* I'm not the one who really needs to hear it." That being said, Rev, keep up your good works. It's refreshing to hear calm, sober and compassionate wisdom from the faith community amid this ever-growing din of hate-filled jackals and the Herodian, orange god-piglet they all seem to worship since Jesus "went woke."
