The original MAGA and Trump presidency are serving their purpose, but their purpose is temporary. They are just Phase 1, designed to destabilize the political Left and create precious space and time for Phase 2, which begins right now! 👇🏻 Now that the IRS was forced to file a legal brief stating that pastors and churches can no longer lose their tax-exemption for endorsing political candidates, we are going to start seeing much more political involvement from Evangelical pastors and Catholic priests directly in elections. This is good. And it is normal. This is how Christianity has always worked for the last 2,000 years. What the IRS imposed on American churches (unevenly) for decades was unnatural and Antichrist. See the links below for how to prepare for Phase 2 of Making America Great…👇🏻
For Catholics, this is very simple. The Catholic Church teaches a form of political involvement called Integralism. The Second Vatican Council did not change this. It simply clarified that Integralism cannot involve any form of coercion to proselytize non-Catholics. This was a good clarification and should be taken seriously. However, the principle of Integralism remains, and that is why the Catholic Church has an entire compendium on Catholic Social Doctrine, and the USCCB puts out an election guide every presidential election cycle. The notion that the Catholic Church is a-political is preposterous. That has never happened once in Church history. It’s better to learn the principles behind Integralism, rather than just relying on a Compendium of political issues, or a bishops’ voter guide, alone. If you learn the principles of Integralism, things will make a lot more sense. To learn the principles of Catholic Integralism, see the link: https://thejosias.com
For Evangelicals, and Reformed Christians, it’s time to drop the Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism, both of which result in either political apathy, or else allegiance to a foreign country more than our own. There is an older, and more traditional type of Protestant political thinking called Dominionism or Dominion Theology. It’s very similar to Catholic Integralism in approach, but based more on Protestant (Reformed and Evangelical) thinking. And it just so happens to be the very understanding of Christianity the United States was founded upon. See the following link to learn more: https://wallbuilders.com
Restoring the United States as a Christian Nation is absolutely necessary a non-negotiable. Christ commands that we baptize all nations, and this includes our systems of government and cultural norms. Failure to do so is a denial of a very big part of the Christian Faith, that compartmentalizes the Gospel, and robs Christ the King of what rightfully belongs to him. Christ does not take his Kingdom by force, like the Pagans and Muslims, etc. He takes it by converting the hearts of the people, who then turn and bring his kingship into our governments, whether through royal conversions, or becoming elected officials.
