Chris Suellentrop reports on the exodus of millions of Americans, especially younger ones, from churches. These “nones” are reshaping US political life—and in many cases are reacting to the appalling spectacle of seeing huge numbers of US Christians and their churches idolize Donald Trump.

A true son or second son of Israel doesn’t so much talk about their journey as they do about the destination. They can tell you the exact day and time they first surrendered their care and will over to Christ. They can speak of the transformative experience their surrender afforded them in their everyday lives and describe the amazing miracles they experience every day.

Christ’s Second through Tenth Commands are circular. (Exodus 20:3-17) Coveting the blessings Christ bestowed upon your brethren inevitably leads to sin, and those sins bleed into further violations of Christ’s commands. The same is true when it comes to coveting the belongings of your neighbors. Envy breeds lust, and lust leads to theft and murder.

Tragically, far too many pastors have confused political power with religious authority and have thrown their lot in with Trump, no matter the cost to their ministry. Pastors for Trump is the next step in this unholy alliance, mixing Christian nationalism, election lies and vitriolic language in a gross distortion of Christianity.”

“Lent is a time to take stock of the dualities in our lives. Listen and discern where God is giving you life, where God is speaking life into your life. Yet also, where has this life been robbed from you? Where does God invite you to lay aside the worship of other gods? Where does God invite you to walk back into larger life that Jesus shows us?”

@wdlindsy Please note: "Christian nationalism" is NOT a Christian feature.
It's an anti-Christian bug.
And the U.S. is not & was never meant to be a Christian nation, but open to people of all faiths & religious or non-religious beliefs.

I wrote "Dear #Jesus" as part of my Faith Restored music video based web series. It was done in the spirit of #blasphemy and in solidarity to all who bring about freedom of human expression by blaspheming. Jesus never had any requirement that he be worshipped. It would have been against his #Jewish faith in regards to #idolatry. Enjoy my series! #religion #faith #Christianity #Christ https://faithrestored.com.au/dear-jesus/

One of my favorite historical religious events is the #Beeldenstorm aka the #IconoclasticFury.
After the #printingpress allowed mass distribution of the #Bible in common language, #tracts and religious #polemics became common. In the mid #16thCentury #Protestants rose up against all the pervasive #Catholic #idolatry and church wealth. They stormed churches throughout the #HolyRomanEmpire, tearing down idols.

This piece was originally from my series "Faith Restored" (link in my bio). But I thought it was great as a standalone piece. This was created while going through a phase of #deconstruction of my #Christian #faith. I don't intend for it to be a #religious piece (as it was part of a creative series) but I think it has some valid points, especially about #idolatry and the worship of #Jesus, the figure. https://kjhalliday.medium.com/jesus-the-christian-cult-of-the-antichrist-e5f2f7577f6d

@emilyk on a technicality, I suppose you could say our hatred of #idolatry.
Though, that doesn't extend to #idolators, and hatred of the tribe of #Israel qua Israel does extend to before the #SecondCovenant.
