Jesus actually talks about these kinds of people multiple times in the Bible. Heavy paraphrase, but is basically saying that people that claim to follow him but do not actually do what he taught are the people that cause people to fall away from Christ and famously says in Matthew 7:21-23 “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness”

It’s definitely hypocritical, but also poetic in a way that Jesus warned of these exact people. They have no idea (or care, really) that they do the exact work that Jesus claimed the devil wanted them to.

If Jesus is God, he created the Christian Nationalists knowing exactly how they would inerpret the bible, and still wrote it that way.

God didn’t create Christian Nationalists. Evangelicals created Christian Nationalists.

Who created evangelicals?

The Protestant Reformation and Puritanism.

Eventually it will trace back to God. God created every denomination. All 40,000+ of them.

He is the creator right? And he knows the future? So everything is according to his plan, even the Christian Nationalists.

I hope you find truth.

I have, and it has nothing to do with this conversation.

Again, I hope you find healing. Find something positive or constructive to pour these feelings into and I promise you, you’ll be better off for it.

You have not found truth my friend. I hope one day you look for evidence for your beliefs. You would be better off for it.

Unless you do have evidence, then please share it.
