Christian nationalism seeks to establish an exclusivist version of Christianity as the dominant moral and cultural order.[2] Christian nationalism overlaps with but is distinct from theonomy, with it being more populist in character.[3]: xxi In countries with a state church, Christian nationalists seek to preserve the status of a Christian state by holding an antidisestablishmentarian position to perpetuate the Church in national politics Wikipedia
Theonomy (from Greek theos "God" and nomos "law") is a hypothetical Christian form of government in which society is ruled by divine law.[1] Theonomists hold that divine law, particularly the judicial laws of the Old Testament, should be observed by modern societies
No not at all. They are really counter culture to that particular movement. The Pastor was a regent and I believe visiting Professor at Truitt and one point. Unfortunately my wife's upbringing as an Independent Fundamental Baptist is starting to take over and she is wanting to leave the church. It is more "liberal" than a Southern Baptist church, it's a Texas Baptist church. They aren't liberal at all just more inclusive than most SBC churches. Zero christian nationalism.
Do you live in Arlington?
Yes indeed.
Assuming you're talking about FBCA, my wife and I went there for a season before we moved, and despite all the blowback he gets around here for his "cry out to God" comment I thought Wiles was a good leader for that church and tended to steer them away from the poles and toward the center road. And I'm not even Baptist.
That said, they are still affiliated to the SBC through the Texas Baptist Church, although only a fraction of the tithing goes to SBC through some mission work. I think they're rethinking all that though. Anyone who saw Katie Reed-Hodges at work knows that women in ministry can do incredible things and I always appreciated his stance.
Yep. I think she is great at what she does, and yea I admit I was kinda reluctant to try FBCA because all the comments on here about the pastor, but he is a solid pastor in my opinion. He is a different guy and likes to make a point about him not being a hunter, fisher, handyman, outdoorsman type, he kinda has a little schtick going about that subject, and makes no bones about his love for everything Auburn.
I know he skipped the SBC this year and takes a real stand about women having a place in Ministry. I have zero issue with Katie teaching once or twice a year from the pulpit. She seems biblically very solid, though I don't hear her very often.
But, anybody who knows the SBC and especially Fundamental Baptist, they really put the X on a woman having a ministry role.
Man I thought I had found a church home, but my wife and I went for a full year and then she just said that's that and won't budge on the women speaking in a teaching mode at church issue.
Yea, I know the verses she points too, but I also know Junia was an apostle among the 70 and was imprisoned, and Pheobe was a deacon or servant in her church, I'm pretty sure she would have read the letter to the Romans. The bible is clear men and women will prophesy in the final days, and Apollos was corrected by a woman who knew the scriptures better than he did, but that simply doesn't matter to her.
Probably going to have to move at some point.
