What Do You Agree About A Christian Nation?

Source: Premium Time Nigeria


A Christian nation is determined to be a Christ-centered country that points to the Bible as a law. Bible can be a law because there are laws to arrange society life who put in faith and follow what the Bible says. That's the concept that we meant of a Christian nation. 

In history, the country that had have ever been Christian nations, like Roman and Armenia. Unfortunately, I don't know so much about them. I need to learn. So, we will discuss what you agree about a Christian nation. 

As a Christian who lives in the largest Muslim country in the world, I would like to see a Christian president elected to lead the country, but I wrote it a few days ago. I don't concern about who the leader is because this is out of the box and shouldn't be talked about. As what I wrote as I disagree about a Christian nation because we live in the world, a place consisting of different religions. Anybody who has the right to be a leader, shall not be infringed upon. 

In the United States we shout out, a 2021 survey's Pew Research says, a 70% of Americans claimed to be Christian and meaning, I guess, 40% of American teens regularly attend church on Sunday and pray every day, anywhere in. Which a survey's American teens based on those raised by Christian families. In the entertainment industry, many movies and serials minister the gospel, based on real stories, and testimony, like Do You Believe, God's Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness, Miracles from Heaven, and I'm Not Ashamed. In a result, do you think America can mention itself as a Christian nation? No, America doesn't seem. Thomas Jefferson addressed at the letter addressing the concept of separation of church and state in his 1802 letter to Danbury Baptist Association, Connecticut. "When the American people adopted the establishment clause, they built a wall of separation between the church and state.” in his 1802 letter reported at Connecticut. In the first amendment in the United States Constitution, addressing "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." So, it means no one religion who admitted by the government, and the Constitution is about how America is arranged to be a neutral country that puts in freedom and human rights and cares American people's representatives. I don't know how it affects in the American society life because I'm not American. But, I watched the movie talking about that. I was just touched by how they struggle for faith and minister the gospel in America in the view of the movie I watched. I'm sure conservatives want to evangelize the gospel into the government and public services but are opposed by many people due to Jefferson's state concept. 

A Christian nation, a word that I never think. Just, like an Islamic country, I strongly disagree because we live in the world, what a place you raise and live in. We have to respect someone who isn't a Christian and wants to lead the country. A place, they (aren't) Christian, to lead consists of a Christian-majority population, we support and are okay with.

Although, we are required to pray for them, to need salvation, and lead better. Praying is so powerful. That's why we believe how powerful praying is. 

We don't need a Christian country as we just need Jesus Christ as our leader and president. He is my president. He is the best leader ever and has the greatest plans for the country and human life. Trust God's plans! We do not need a Christian country and we need Jesus Christ. He is the only, enough.

The Idea of Feminism In the Church

A veiled woman lighting up a candle in the Orthodox Church, source: Adobe Stock Roman Catholic Pope Francis appeared a 60-minute on CBS's live-streaming interview with a female reporter, Norah O'Donnell. She was curious in a question towards on him,  " I'm curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the church ?" Pope Francis simply, saying, " No ." O'Donnell seemed to trying to push on him about her idea of the progressive and reformation in the Catholic Church. But, thanks God, Pope was strong defending his faith.  This is a 60-minute interview has opened that in fact the pressure of the church reformation has been increasingly happening today. We heard that some churches trying to allow its LGBTQ movement within church life, like the Unitarian church. And, I think some churches have accepted the female ordination, but usually it is Protestant church b...

The Pascha, Life Bond, and SO SPECIAL! Orthodox Christianity!

Holy Fire in Jerusalem We typically celebrate the Easter - however that the Orthodox people generally saying that's Pascha - but I felt like that was so special that I celebrated the Pascha in a different Christianity tradition which was unfamiliar to myself, being to live in the country who well-known about Western Christianity. We celebrate the Pascha on a different calendar, it is Julian Calendar so many people wonder that why we are being late celebrate the Pascha and even the Christmas, a week late (between 12-13 days on Julian and Gregorian calendars) from the Western Christians. But, in certain times in history, we celebrate on the same date like 2017 we celebrate the Pascha together with Roman Catholics and it will be happening next year! The Eastern Orthodox is the holy and first church to just celebrated a blessed holy week in last week! Unfortunately, I was unlucky in that schedule as I had a five-day training during the holy week schedule, that caused I had to miss mult...

How Christianity View Generation Z?

Source: Asbury Revival 2023, Cincinnati Enquirer I spent the weekend working and playing on a PC/ computer. I learned and watched about Asbury Revival which went viral in Wilmore, Kentucky. Approximately 15.000 attendances worshipping at a university, any sources tell. Which were mostly college and high school students. That was goosebumps! Felt like "Wow, America is back on the right way!" and "That's nice." Generation Z, where somebody who was born around the 1990s to 2000s, living depends on technology and that is called the modern era. We have cellphones, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, and laptops, and we depend on technology the most. I heard that is also called Millennial Generation. We have easier access than the previous generation. I'm one of this generation. I depend on technology since I can't live without them. As you do and exactly, you can't live without them, aren't you? Well, we will learn about how Christianity views Generation Z. ...
