   This political idolatry of 'Christian Nationalism' is not new. Only the wide   
   perception of it is new due to everyone now being plugged into the Internet   
   via their ever-present phones and tablets.   
      
   In the 1600s through the 1800s we see the political idolatry was at fever   
   pitch and full swing, giving a host of politically-oriented cults, such as   
   Witch-burning Puritanism, Swedenborgianism, Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism,   
   etcetera. Even the Anglican    
   church is an Imperialist political cult and has no warrant or sanction in the   
   Holy Scriptures. It is a 'nationalist' tyranny over the mind. And then we see   
   Islam, which Christians mistakenly believe to be a non-Christian religion.   
   Islam is a Christian    
   heresy, founded by heretical Catholics. Even the name, "Mohammed" is a   
   corruption of the earlier Arabic, "Mahmed" meaning, "Messiah". Islam is an   
   offshoot of medieval Christianity with its Saturn idolatry gone to seed. Islam   
   is a daughter of Babylon, the    
   Judeo-Roman prostitute.   
      
   Christianity has always been a politically idolatrous cult. For instance, The   
   council of Nicea was convened by the Apollo-worshiping, Luciferian Emperor   
   Constantine for nefarious and ungodly political purposes. Every bishop who was   
   a political    
   apparatchik showed up, ironing out a fascist version of Christianity that was   
   forced on the empire by the sword for centuries.   
      
   The luciferians try to repeat this in every generation in which it looks like   
   Christians will flee the Church plantation for the true body of Christ outside   
   the Church.   
      
   Remember, the outer sea court of the temple was for the Gentiles (nations).   
   The kingdom was removed from the inner court and given to them without.   
   Christian authoritarians still have not recognized this.   
      
   If you want to advocate for a more biblical and faithful version of   
   Christianity you need to leave behind the Imperial leadership model of the   
   Church. The Apostles and the Reformers warned us about the man of sin sitting   
   in the chair of the bishopric    
   building his tower of Babel using the people (laity) as their bricks.   
      
   This thing commonly called, 'Christianity' is the backsliding idol worship of   
   Israel in the Old Testament, brought to life in our current age. Jesus Christ   
   is not a Christian. The Apostles of the Lamb are not Christians. Neither   
   Jesus, nor the Apostles,    
   nor the Prophets would recognize Christianity as legitimate. The sum of all   
   their teachings mark Christianity as an impostor religion of idolatrous   
   customs trading darkness for light.   
      
   There is no municipal kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God cannot be brought   
   about by the force of arms of mortal men. It comes by the Spirit of the Lord,   
   not by the spirit of the world. Everyone pretending to build God's kingdom by   
   inveigling, shaming,    
   brow-beating, force, intimidation, fear-mongering,  or authoritarianism, or   
   civil government sanction, is an anti-christ, no matter how much they pretend   
   to worship the Father and the Son and no matter how many zillions of times   
   they claim their names.   
      
   In the Old Testament the Father prophesied to us the rise of the Christian   
   world empire and its eventual destruction in the turning of the ages ahead.   
   The Imperialist Christian cult likes to distract from its own wickedness by   
   pretending Islam is the    
   scapegoat, or by pretending Jews are the scapegoat. It might work for a time   
   for their politics but God the Father is not fooled.   
      
   "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,   
   that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.   
   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.   
   .....  How much she    
   hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give   
   her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see   
   no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning,   
   and famine; and she    
   shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."   
      
   The 'she' is the Christian Church. She is the harlot Babylon with her many   
   Church babies, a true mother of political prostitutes and abominations of the   
   earth. The Christian church glorifies herself and her system of bishopric   
   authority instead of    
   glorifying the simple gospel of Jesus Christ. Christianity is a machine for   
   perpetuating its own system instead of setting the spiritual captives free.   
      
   We can truthfully say to the Christian Church what Christ said to the Scribes   
   and Pharisees of ancient Judea:   
      
   "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their   
   phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the   
   uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And   
   greetings in the markets, and to be    
   called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your   
   Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon   
   the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."   
      
   In this age the first Adam who fell is the Church, the continuation of temple   
   idolatry on life support. The second Adam who rises is Christ, or Jacob, who   
   will supplant the first Adam as Jacob supplanted Esau in the birthright, as   
   Jacob crossed his arms    
   to swap the birthrights of Ephraim and Manasseh, as Isaac supplanted Ishmael,   
   even as Paul the Apostle told us plainly. God has repeatedly told us how this   
   Christian empire will be supplanted by Jesus Christ in the last days, yet   
   Christians do not see    
   what is plain in the scripture because they want political and spiritual power   
   over other men, rather than being like Christ and humbly desiring to be a   
   servant of servants for the love of God rather than recognition of position.   
      
   We learn from the Bible that God doesn't value man's concept of the birthright   
   of authority, and freely supplants the older with the younger, even as he will   
   supplant the older religious and Christian empire of the world with the   
   younger Jesus of    
   Nazareth.
