Timothy Keller: How to Know if You Are a Christian Nationalist 

I would like to see this updated. As a historian and Christian level, two is clearly reached even going beyond.

This was a very interesting and thoughtful discussion on Christian nationalism. As a Christian and an American I believe that one of the things that makes America great is the fact that the founding fathers purposefully separated the church from the state. That is what makes the US different from the rest of many countries as we had the freedom to worship or not to worship as we pleased. I’m so tired of the angry rhetoric from the right that demonizes anyone who is what they call liberal. That is not Christian or Christlike when we are called to love thy neighbor.

Thanks 🙏🏼

I know what the term “christian nationalism” is trying to define, but it ends up defining any Christian who is not actively trying to make peace with the world.

Thank you for this video.

I find it interesting that just like how there are different denominations in Christianity, there are different definitions of Christian nationalism within the churches. As an atheist I am interested in what the churches are saying and so far it’s very muddied. I find more churches that are against Christian nationalism, but still some are saying there is nothing with it and at the same time saying the other churches are wrong with their definitions. I am very scared of this country becoming a theocracy with this rise of Christian nationalism. I do NOT want this to happen and lose my freedoms to some religious government. It’s concerning that the church can’t agree and come to a consistent message about this.

Tim nailed it. The issue with Christian Nationalism is that it completely undermines the First Amendment, “Freedom of Religion.” How is it American to make everyone follow “YOUR” interpretation of Christianity? That’s forcing religion. Evangelicals would have a fit if Jews or Muslims did this and called it American.

17:05 Evangelical churches and congregations with Kerygma are growing!

Why do Christians believe that the world should think like a Christian? As Christians we should follow Christ's teachings and be examples of service, kindness and let people know we care about them. Not make them the enemy.

Thank you so much for this video! It was so encouraging and really blessed me so thanks a ton!

1925: Both sides are using the nietzschean way, both left and right.

Tim is really on point with this presentation...he's got a lot of wisdom...!

Christ is the ONLY WAY TO heaven

Should Christians not prefer a God fearing king, president, governor, mayor, etc or a hater of God and His church? Are not all these leaders of the state God's servants and accountable to him in their actions as magistrate? Should we not call them to be just and follow God's law and 'kiss the Son''? Just as we are called to love our spouse above all other women, our family above other families, should not we care for our community, city, state & nation above others as the place where God has called us to live and work? Any gift of God can become an idol... Patriotism and nationalism don't seem to be fundamentally different. Should we be nationalists, tribalists, anarchists or globalists?

This was great. Thanks for doing this interview.

Control Opposition

10:49-10:56 My wife and I were talking ( she grew up in evangelical church, I grew up in a Pentacostal church) and I could see how the statement could be true based on all the prayer meetings and it's reflecting on your sins, but she asked "define reading your bible and prayer" because she has seen people and pastors read through the bible and pray yet still seem like they're christian nationalist leaning

I have become a great admirer of your sermons on the gospel over the past two months. I have listened to 50 or 60 sermons. However, this is one post that disappointed me and I didn't think you were your regular brilliant self. The Tim Keller I have come to admire would not have sounded like such a homer who spoke to the bias of the asker. Instead, he would have addressed the feelings of superiority of the Christian globalist.

White Trumpers: I don't like Tim Keller😆

If believing America was founded on Christian principles, and wanting Christ like morals in our government, wanting a nation that looks to God for his guidance. I am proud to say I am a Christian Nationalist. No apologies here.

Thank you for this good analysis of Christian Nationalism.

So out of touch. Sorry to say, but ridiculously out of touch. Next podcast: Christian Elitism

Here's the thing. God is in control of all the affairs of the world. We cannot change God's plan by voting or committing an insurrection in an attempt to overthrow the government. The purpose of Christianity is to bring souls to Jesus. The honest supplicant for salvation is given the Holy Spirit to guide him or her on their way. There is scripture that can help. Matthew, 5-7. These are the commandments given by Jesus, and on the day of judgment, we will be compared with how we obey these commandments. Politics are evil. Lies, slander, flattery, bribery, theft, coercion, extortion, hypocrisy, and murder. These are the very foundation of All politics, and, All political platforms, And All politicians must employ these vile tools to get power and influence. Really, everybody knows this. Jesus is the truth. So, clearly, there can be no mixture of Christianity and politics.

So for Keller a "Christian Nationalist" is someone who takes the Bible seriously, loves his country, respects Western Civilization and doesn't bow the knee to the Cultural Marxists? It is sick that he blames those Christians who warned us about the militant secular left are the reason the church is now facing persecution in the West.

Keller's promotion of evil systems and organizations makes him disqualified to be a pastor of a church

This is an example of someone who has become out of touch, and has prejudices of types of people.

Hippies gonna hippie and Keller is a super hippie

9:04 You are taking a cheap shot at American Exceptionalism, almost like you dont really understand American Exceptionalism at all.

I don’t know any Christian nationalists around me or in congress but there are plenty of people embracing socialism/globalism where they think the world can be utopia if we all give up our rights to government.

30% of Evangelicals are Christian nationalists? That's about right, if you consider the most fervent supports. But in the general population, over half are either enthusiastic about it or accommodating of the agenda. Only minority overtly reject Christian nationalism. Most of those are among non-Christians, like Jewish Americans or Agnostics/Atheists or other non-Christian religions. Among mainline Protestans, about half are accommodating or advocates of this cause. Among Evangelicals, it's even worse.

In the minds of so many Americans (me being one), I used to think of Billy Graham and think "Christian." Now I think of Trump and can't help but think "Christian." That is NOT an improvement.

Christian nationalism, did you mean to say christofascism?

I too prefer secular nationalism, countries shouldn’t be lead by Christ. That would be evil.

Christian Nationalist just means a real follower of Christ. It's a derogatory label applied by fakes like Keller but it's helpful because it helps us see the lines.

Jesus is indeed Lucifer the Morning Star, which is why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. The reason Christards fail to see the obvious is because they are brainwashed by their churches into reading the Bible BACKWARDS and reading the New Testament BEFORE the Old Testament. We read books from FRONT TO BACK for a reason, and that is because you can't possibly understand the end of a book that you don't understand the beginning of. And it is not even possible to fully understand a book from reading the LAST QUARTER of it. With that being said...----> Adam and Eve were NOT first, and the 2 stories of Creation in Genesis are NOT about the same Creation as the Christian church teaches. GOD makes people on the 6th day of Creation in Genesis 1:26. Then in Genesis chapter 2 God rests, God sanctifies the 7th day, and then the LORD God of Israel creates Adam and Eve on the 7th day of Creation. To work on the 7th day that God has blessed and sanctified is BLASPHEMY, which is what makes the LORD God SATAN the LORD of this world. That also makes clear that Adam and Eve were NOT FIRST, they were made second. Doesn't the 6th day of Creation come BEFORE the 7th day of Creation?----> The family lineage that begins with Adam and ends with Jesus is the family lineage made by SATAN the LORD God, not God. That's why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star, and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. Jesus was Lucifer in the flesh, not God in the flesh. Jesus is Lucifer the Morning Star! Go to my channel for more details... That NEW WORLD Order that Alex Jones and other GOP Christards pretend to fight is really the goal of Christianity otherwise known as the NEW EARTH (Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev 21:1) to be ruled by the New Jerusalem. The New Earth is where the nations are destroyed and massed together for a world government that will be on the shoulders of Jesus. Well, isn't the New World Order a world government as well? And gee, New Earth even sounds exactly like New World, doesn't it? That is not a coincidence, the New Earth is indeed the New World Order. It's all right there in your NEW WORLD Translation Bible if you actually bothered to read it...

What a confused blabber this Keller dude is. Sad really. So incoherent.
