The New Christian Right comes preaching that old white supremacy and Roman Catholic dominance as they silence their critics by shouting ‘Christ Is King!’ to fawning sycophants
Putting “Christ Is King” over a platform does not give everything spoken beneath it the authority of Jesus Christ, or anything even close to it. Joel Webbon’s New Christian Right promotes books calling for the repeal of women’s voting rights, defines nations around shared ancestry, and gives a platform to white supremacists like Nick Fuentes and Jared Taylor. Those are choices that deserve our utmost scrutiny, especially when it comes packaged as Christian restoration which it clearly is not. Their own website supplies that evidence. When a movement wraps racial grievance and the pursuit of political dominance in Christian language, believers need to open their Bibles and examine what they are being sold. A Christian label doesn’t make antisemitism more palatable, and national ancestry cannot establish anyone’s standing before God. Think of NXR as a kinder, slightly gentler Third Reich and you’ll have it.
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” Acts 17:26 (KJB)
The Church has no commission to manufacture the Millennial Kingdom through political conquest. Jesus Christ will establish His kingdom when He returns; no conference organizer, political strongman, or coalition of religious influencers can assume His throne. Christians should confront wickedness and exercise discernment in public life, but claiming divine authority for a program of national restoration demands a biblical challenge. The gospel calls sinners to salvation through Jesus Christ, and the believer’s responsibility is faithfulness to His word. Any teacher who makes racial identity, resentment, or allegiance to a political movement a measure of Christian faithfulness is leading people into dangerous error. Test the doctrine, examine the fruit, and refuse to surrender your biblical discernment because somebody knows how to shout “Christ Is King.” Which, by the way, is not the right answer in our dispensation. ‘Jesus saves’ is.
