MAKE AMERICA GOD’S AGAIN: This phrase captures the essence of the foundational philosophy of the MAGA movement. America will only be Great Again, when America unreservedly submits to God. The problems facing the country are due to people abandoning the Word, specifically the Ten Commandments.
There seems to be a misunderstanding. I do not in any way shape or form support this worldview. The post is to educate people about the dangers of Dominion Theology and its sinister connection to the Christian far-righteous, aka, MAGA. The heading, diminutive, clearly makes my feelings known. It is a small man’s theology for small minded people, with even smaller hearts.
DOMINION THEOLOGY, also known as dominionism, is a group of far-right Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation governed by Christians and based on their understandings of biblical law. – Wiki –
EXCLUSIVELY CHRISTIAN: In the context of American evangelical efforts to penetrate and transform public life, the distinguishing mark of a dominionist is a commitment to defining and carrying out an approach to building society that is self-consciously defined as exclusively Christian, and dependent specifically on the work of Christians, rather than based on a broader consensus. – Bruce Barron –
DOMINIONISTS celebrate Christian nationalism, in that they believe that the United States once was, and should once again be, a Christian nation. In this way, they deny the Enlightenment roots of American democracy.
DOMINIONISTS promote religious supremacy, insofar as they generally do not respect the equality of other religions, or even other versions of Christianity.
DOMINIONISTS endorse theocratic visions, insofar as they believe that the Ten Commandments, or “biblical law,” should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principles. – Frederick Clarkson –
MANDATE FROM HEAVEN: Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ—to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness…. But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice…. Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land—of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. – George Grant – The Changing of the Guard: Biblical Principles for Political Action; 1987.
THEONOMY: An example of dominionism in Reformed theology is Christian reconstructionism, which originated in the teachings of R. J. Rushdoony in the 1960s and the 1970s. His theology focuses on theonomy, the rule of the Law of God, and his belief that all of society should be ordered according to the laws that governed the Israelites in the Old Testament.
His ideas on biblical law in civil government are laid out most comprehensively in The Institutes of Biblical Law. Rushdoony’s proposed system is strongly Calvinistic. – Wiki
CATHOLIC INTEGRALISM has been characterized as a form of dominionist theology, but in reality, it is much older and theologically distinct from the dominionism that is espoused by Protestants.
Catholic integralists, along with their Protestant counterparts, wish to establish a “theocratic type of state.” But ultimately, the goals of Protestant dominionists and Catholic integralists are divergent, as Catholic integralists adhere to the doctrine that the Catholic Church is the “only true church” and that every form of Protestantism is “heretical.”
That has not prevented cooperation between them, however, when it has been mutually beneficial. – Joshua J. McElwee
