Episode notes
Leeman's Political Ambition Story
- Jonathan Leeman once aimed to be president due to a strong sense of moral responsibility.
- His career shifted drastically after salvation toward theological and political study, blending church ministry with political theory.
Three Views on Christian Nationalism
- Christian nationalism can be viewed as an insult, a rightful influence, or an improper identification of a nation as Christian.
- Leeman opposes the identification of nations as Christian, seeing it as a misuse of God's name and mixing sacred with profane.
Name of God Belongs to Church
- God's name is placed on His people, the church, who are born again, not on nations based on genealogy or birth.
- Placing Christ's name on a nation mixes sanctity with idolatry, confusing church and state roles.
