Laura,

I actually think he nailed it right at the start.

His first sentence was, "America is not a Christian nation."

Then, he spent the rest of the video building an argument that America should be, and shaming Christians who don't agree with him.

Really?

If we're going to turn America into a Christian nation, you don't get to cherry pick which parts of Christianity apply. You either take the whole thing, cross and all, or admit you're just using Christianity to push a political agenda.

Honestly, he should've just stopped after the first sentence.

It was the only honest thing he said, before trying to gaslight Christians into doubting their faith.

Laura,

"He's spot on about everything that he said. You can't rebut anything that he said, BillJohnson."

Actually, I did rebut it.

He said, "America is not a Christian nation," then spent ten minutes preaching like it should be while shaming Christians who don't support his political agenda.

That wasn't theology. It was political proselytizing pretending to be the Gospel.

You're free to believe that. Just don't pretend you speak with divine authority on what Christianity demands.

Laura,

Did you see a recent post of mine? I'll repost it here...

A lot of people believe Christianity is about forcing the government to take money from working people and give it to those who've chosen a lifestyle of dependence.
But in one of Paul's New Testament letters to the church in Thessalonica, Paul addressed believers who were refusing to work and relying on others to support them.
Paul's words were clear. He wrote, "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10)
That's not just a suggestion.
It's Christian teaching, written by Paul, who shaped much of the New ersonal Testament.

End--

Don't assume I personally agree with everything in this bill because I don't. My point here is Christianity is about freedom and personal responsibility and not being shackled to the government for survival all your life.

Laura,

And this "priest" seems rather oblivious to what America actually represents under the Constitution,

A nation that protects religious freedom, not one that enforces religious doctrine through government policy.

(and spare me the whataboutism)

Laura,

"First of all, the Apostle Paul didn't know Christ."

You talk about Native Americans.

You're aware they passed down stories with vivid accuracy across generations using oral traditions, without written language. It was a cornerstone of their culture.

So why do you doubt that Paul, who lived in the same era as Christ and was surrounded by firsthand witnesses, couldn't understand and faithfully teach His message?

It's true that Paul could not have known Jesus in a physical sense, but Paul knew Jesus through direct revelation and his teachings were affirmed by people who knew Jesus personally, including apostles who had walked with Him during His ministry.

Paul wrote many letters to growing churches preaching the message of Jesus Christ and dealing with some issues facing the new churches and conflicts members were having with each other. The churches copied the letters and shared them with other churches. These letters became part of the New Testament in the bible.

Let's not act like truth only counts if it comes directly from the original messenger.
