Mark 12:17 affirms that one's obligations to God and the civil government are distinct, which rests on the very premise of [[separation of church and state]]. Romans 13:1 establishes that Christians must respect the authority of civil governments, ruling out any biblical basis for paramiliitary insurrections such as the [[January 6 Capitol protests]].
Christian Nationalism, as I've said before, parallels the ideology promulgated by Judas of Galilee, who [https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/9032-judas-the-galilean "proclaimed the Jewish state as a republic recognizing God alone as king and ruler and His laws as supreme."] The Pharisaic elder Gamaliel of the Sanhedrin reflected:

The fervently nationalist, Zionist ideology of the Zealots is nearly identical to modern-day "Christian Nationalism": a group of disgruntled fanatics, mixing politics with religion, think that they are doing a favor for God by overthrowing tyrannical, oppressive governments and instituting in their place theocracies. And yet, those revolutions only result in increased moral abominations—January 6 saw rioters, in the name of "Christianity," committing unrestrained, savage, beastly assaults, just as the First Jewish–Roman War resulted in an outgrowth of moral depravity among the Jews. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, mothers were eating their own children after the Pagan Roman authority was removed!
Later in the 2nd century, ultra-Zionist Jews who followed after the false prophet and phony messiah Simon bar Kokhba murdered countless Jewish Christians who dissented with [https://www.livius.org/sources/content/eusebius/chronicle/eusebius-on-bar-kochba/ "all kinds of persecutions,"] according to the church historian Eusebius. And we see the same attitudes today—any Christian who refuses to support the fanatic apostasy of extremist "right-wing" populism is quickly castigated by the Christian Nationalist mob as a "Biden-shilling Marxist socialist degeneracy-enabling Hillary Clinton–supporting '''<span style="color:red">☭Communist☭'''</span>." —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Monday, 13:21, September 11, 2023 (EDT)
