It is the responsibility of the Christian apologist to stand against this kind of fake news from fake evangelical nationalists defaming the name of Jesus Christ…?

The Constitution and federal laws have changed over time, and there’s no longer any doubt that the federal government has the power – some would say the duty – to respond in the face of a public health emergency.

    By posting this, are you suggestion Christians have no voice in how they are governed in the United States?

  2. David Weinstein says:

    Those who hate the presidents policies cant claimto be Christian while loving homosexuality, abortion,asisted suicide! Wanting to legalize drugs. Also against law and order anti Isreal and against the electoral college!

  3. David Weinstein says:

    They claimed to be wise but remained as fools!

    I love the new name Christian nationalists. So that means, you are a Christian and love your nation. But, the point is to ridicule Christians who do not fall in lock-step with the Left. BTW – This is rule #13 on Alinsky’s list. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. This is the playbook of the Left. http://www.openculture.com/2017/02/13-rules-for-radicals.html

    I’m not for political postings on this particular site

  6. Scott Shifferd says:

    This article is fake news and slanderous. It describes conservative Christians who hold to the Constitution as “Christian nationalists.” They are playing games to persecute Christians.

    Excerpt: “Barton seems unable to grasp that it’s not 1820 anymore. The Constitution and federal laws have changed over time, and there’s no longer any doubt that the federal government has the power – some would say the duty – to respond in the face of a public health emergency.”

  7. Keith Morris says:

    No, it’s not. Jesus didn’t even defend himself.

  8. Ralph Edwards II says:

    It is the responsibility of all Christians to stand up for Christ and the truth anytime they see Him or His truth being slandered or mocked

    “Barton seems unable to grasp that it’s not 1820 anymore. The Constitution and federal laws have changed over time, and there’s no longer any doubt that the federal government has the power – some would say the duty – to respond in the face of a public health emergency. (The fact that the current administration’s response has been hapless doesn’t negate that; it just makes it all the more obvious that we need to do a better job next time.)”

    Well, that’s the problem. Barton is saying we should return to the Constitution. The article is saying we’ve left it for good.

    It’d be like the Episcopal Church or United Methodist Church saying, “Hey, it’s not 60 AD, anymore…we don’t believe what the Bible teaches about sexuality. We’ve moved on.”

    Granted, you’ve moved on…but shouldn’t you go back?

    Likewise, shouldn’t we go back to the Constitution and States rights?

    Not being American, I just can’t understand the arguments made here. Why would you equate a human Constitution with the Word of God? Why would you equate a political party with being good Christians, when clearly all parties are corrupt? Why would you uphold the name “Christian nationalist”, when there’s no Bible Text, or Biblical theme, that would back up such an identity? We are strangers, aliens, exiles, citizens of Heaven, followers of Christ, members of the universal body of Christ, *not* nationalists.

  11. Randy Baker says:

    We need to examine, discern and respond to falsehood and bias, just like the bias in the article you posted.

  12. Bob White says:

    The article is written with such hatred for who they call “the religious right”, I will not give it any credit.

  13. Shaun Templeton says:

    This is garbage! Leftist crap!

  14. Spencer Williams says:

    Leftist lies. David Barton is a good Christian man who gives Christianity it’s voice back in our American history.

  15. Spencer Williams says:

    By the way these so called legitimate historians have been changing history to be palatable to this politically correct culture!

  16. Pascal Redfern says:

    What was the purpose of the post. First of all, I have not read of any evidence that Barton is a “Christian Nationalist” in the sense he believes we should be a theocracy. Does he believe that America was founded on Biblical principles? Yes, but that does not make him a Christian Nationalist nor more than to suggest that we borrowed Common Law from England suggests we are British Nationalists. Finally, Barton is right constitutionally. All the Federal Government can do is advice, help and suggest in this matter. It cannot under the Constitution, order the states.

  17. Glenn Gerlach says:

    This article is Left-Wing cover and I’ve submitted it to the trash bin!

  18. Eric Javier Saenz says:

    Wow! Wish there was so much passion against the left to stop murdering babies as there is toward the so called Christian right!

  19. Kevin L. Adair says:

    Why was this even posted?……the constitution still stands…..health care belongs to the INDIVIDUAL……not even the states have that right or responsibility…….where in the world did he come up with this bunk?

  20. John Ferrera says:

    The Constitution and federal laws have changed over time,

    Yep.. I think I found the problem.

    it becoming a growing threat – Christa phobia is on the rise in the U.S.
