1/ I am going to put my Screwtape hat on for a second regarding using Christian as an adjective to modify a sin (i.e. Christian Nationalism).

If I wanted to disgrace Christ I would use His name to identify a sin. There will be those who are ignorant, but they aren't the one's...

2/...coining the term. It is coming from leaders within Christendom. Why would a leader call things that are clearly sin "Christian"?

They are trying to not only disgrace Christ, but erode the good associated with Him. Wolves are notorious for such things, not sheep or shepherds

3/ By eroding the good associated with Christ you can change people's perceptions of Christianity. He wants to make Christianity into a threat. If Satan can make it into a perceived threat then it is something that the people would turn against and want eradicated.

Make no mistake, Satan is a master marketer. He knows how to change public opinion. He puts out the perfect bait to lure people to his side & empowers them to carry out his vicious will.

Those heresies that are being called "Christian" like prosperity theology, panentheism, etc-

5/...are people he has already won to his side. Those that hold to biblical, historical, orthodox Christianity are the one's he is hoping to target as "nationalists".

The other day Beth Moore said that those who hold to complementarianism & cessationism are the same people...

6/...who won't let non-white people into church leadership. Her implication is that they are racist.

So holding to biblical orthodoxy is now not only misogynistic but also what racists do. No one likes racists, so if you brand them as racists then you can turn the culture...

7/...against them and make them a threat. You can put them under the umbrella of "Christian Nationalism" and make them into a blight.

These people labeling me and others who hold to the authority of Scripture are in league with Satan trying to turn the culture against us.

8/ They are using terms like "Christian Nationalist" or "Christian Insurrectionist" to make our overlords think we are loons who could snap at any moment. Then the gov will deal harshly with us.

I believe this is their plan. Let's not aid our overlords in our persecution.
