DAMN! MY THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION MIGHT ACTUALLY BE USEFUL.

 Who knew?

So... Christian NATIONALISM is an *IDEOLOGY* where Christian's have a DUTY to love their "nation" (that is, their own people, the Christian Church) whereas Christian PATRIOTISM is an EMOTION Christian's feel and FREELY (to varying degrees) exemplify their (at times, sacraficial) love of their state.

So far, so good.

As a Christian I DO have a duty to love my fellow Christians (as individuals and as a community) and I am FREE to partriotically love my country, America, without necessarily approving of every action it takes in the world.

The fatal theological flaw of WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST HERESY (or the New Apostolic Reformation or the 7 Mountain Mandate or Dominionism) is their claim that God gave Christians the American state TO THEM just as God is portrayed in the Bible as giving Israel to the Jews.

And now they claim that THEIR LAND (and Christian culture) was stolen from them by the liberals, the socialists, and the heathen and / or non-White immigrants.

And they mean to take it back, by fair means or foul.

"The Puritans were inspired by the passages in Revelation about the New Jerusalem, which they interpreted as being a symbol for the New World. The Puritans saw themselves as the builders of the New Jerusalem on earth. This idea was foundational to American nationalism." (See "New Jerusalem (Wikipedia)

Needless to say, NONE OF THIS is in the Bible.
