I agree there will be doing, but it is the direction of doing I am referring to. That is, who is sourcing the direction. We are yoked to Christ if we are moving as He moves. Christ Himself was yoked to the Father and did only what He saw the Father do. I imagine walking in the Spirit this same way...living in the moment by moment presence of God and fellowshipping and communing with Him...John 14:23. And out of this would flow our actions...Ephesians 2:10.
Hello JTB,
I read this post earlier, but while I get what you are saying, it does seem like a caricature/ It is early in this discussion, but I think the list you offer is not exactly said to be imposed by force, but rather there is to be less government, and more teaching by godly living. watch this if time permits;www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGLThab4clw&t=3167s

Yeah exactly. The only reason to want same-sex Mary should be illegal is religious reasons and the first amendment to the
Yes. Exactly this... They think because the Bible says something is wrong then it should be illegal. When the first amendment to the Constitution makes it abundantly clear that all laws are to have a secular purpose and the only reason to ban same-sex marriage is religious reasons
And then they have the audacity to pretend to be persecuted when the rest of society says no, you don't get to use a law to push your religion on us

Sorry, just would like to see a post about what you said earlier about people on this forum (Post #112) who say "Christianity is to be the official state religion and that Christianity is to be privileged above all other religions So basically, if you're not Christian, your rights don't matter"

I am not aware of anyone trying to pass a law that worshipping an other god other than worshipping Jesus is illegal, especially not on this forum, so if you could direct me to that post I would appreciate it.
I do know the Noahide laws are making it illegal to worship Jesus, that is something that is real, so as usual this assumed threat of Christian nationalism is likely projection, at least in part by those trying to outlaw Evangelical Christians.
Also, passing a law against abortion being practiced is simply democracy in action. It is pure evil to assume that aborting babies is an inherent right that society should support.
As for making homosexuality a crime that sounds like legalism, and it is far more common in Muslim countries so I see no reason to characterize that as "Christian nationalism". I think that is simply legalism or extremism and does not come with a Christian brand.

Probably one of the biggest lies I hear coming from some Christian nationalists is the idea that the US was uniquely chosen by God to stand as a bulwark against all the evils of the world. Anyone who has any familiarity with God's word knows the US doesn't fill this role, but His ekklesia does. But for Christian nationalists, it's not enough to be a follower of Jesus Christ, you must also be a patriotic American. Only by doing this can the world be saved from evil. So I guess all those people in other lands who are faithfully following Christ, under severe persecution in many cases, don't matter.
