"historical and traditional teaching of Jesus Christ" No. Christians are told to acknowledge separation of church and state (Mark 12:17) and that Jesus's kingdom is '''not of this world''' (John 18:36). The whole essence of "Christian Nationalism" is attempting to institute a Christian utopia in this sinful mortal world via enforcing "biblical" dogmas from the civil power. Jesus and the Apostles taught no such thing. Did Paul tell the Roman Gentile converts in the [[Epistle to the Romans]] to go out and influence the government so it can promulgate Christian values? No!

The church fathers? Who? The Apostolic Fathers or the Nicene-era Fathers?

The Great Commission has nothing to do with taking over secular governments and turning them into mouthpieces for "Christian" doctrine. There is not one verse in the entire New Testament where the Apostles advocate such a theocratic ideology. If antiquity (alone) has proven anything, it is that theocracy destroys humanity rather than uplifting it. The early Zionist ultranationalists, whose concept of theocracy, liberty, and "rebellion = godliness," and who were antithetical to Jesus (remember, many of the Jews thought the Messiah would overthrow the Romans and establish a Jewish utopia on Earth), parallels modern-day "Christian Nationalism"—history isn't kind to infamous rebels Judas of Galilee and Simon bar Kokhba, nor will it be to Donald Trump and "right-wing" populists. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|^{Rev. 22:13}]]''''' Monday, 11:32, September 11, 2023 (EDT)
