Reporter goes viral for attacking Christians who believe rights come from God — and the responses are glorious

[Loudram]

If you read the story, she gets mocked into next week. And rightly so. This is my favorite response...

• "I guess those truths just aren't as self-evident as they used to be," National Review writer Dan McLaughlin mocked.

For the record I am a proud Christian nationalist and I'm sure everyone on this board is as well. In case some don't know, the term Christian was initially a slur describing those who followed Christ. I guess there trying to make another slur. I'll gladly embrace this one too along with infidel and anything else they throw my way. What they don't understand is to be identified with Christ is the highest honor.

Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla claimed on Thursday that Christians who believe rights are derived from God are "Christian nationalists."
Speaking on MSNBC, Przybyla claimed that former President Donald Trump is surrounding himself with an "extremist element" of Christians, whom she identified as "Christian nationalists."

"The thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority. They don't come from Congress. They don't come to the Supreme Court. They come from God."

That's a new label given to Christians who believe in God as our Authority, "Christian Nationalist".
It's coming. Christians are going to be targeted more and more because they falsely claim that we are extremists and are a threat to the WOKE agenda.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

What does this woke individual know about Christians. She probably sends Christmas cards to her relatives who she no doubt believes are.

A couple years ago, at work, I asked my [unsaved] Lead if she thought they might let us off on the Friday before Easter that year. She said, "no why would they? It's a religious holiday."
I said, so is Christmas..?
"I mean, no not really."
Yes it is....Christ....Christmas...?
"Oh, well..uh...Christmas is just different."

Yea it has pagan roots, but seriously??

Response to the Reporter from Politico

Sorry, Politico: You Don’t Get to Rewrite the Declaration of Independence​

Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla, a finalist for journalism’s Pulitzer Prize, thinks she knows the Christian faith better than practicing Christians—and, for that matter, the Declaration of Independence.

In an appearance Friday on MSNBC, Przybyla said “Christian nationalists” aren’t to be trusted because, in her words, they don’t believe their rights come from any human or governmental institution, but from God.

Here is what Przybyla, a national investigative correspondent for Politico who was a Pulitzer finalist in 2023 for Supreme Court reporting, said:

The one thing that unites all of them … as Christian nationalists, not Christians by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different, is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthy authority, they don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from their Supreme Court, they come from God.

Well, news flash, Heidi: Most, if not all, traditional Christians believe that our rights come from God, not from any other entity or human or government institution.

How blessed we are

Regarding the latest slur, 'Christian Nationalist' I think we need to think carefully about signing up for this. Several years ago on RF I started a thread about two popular Christian apologists, Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort who had become anti-pretrib. If I recall correctly, Daniel Comfort, Ray's son signed up on RF to explain that his dad was not anti-pretrib. Great guy!

Years later... I love podcasts and Kirk Cameron has one, American Campfire Revival that I followed for several months. It reminded me of why eschatology matters. I love the work he does to bring good books to public libraries, and agree that all Christians should walk into open doors for civic duty. Unfortunately, when we do not believe that Jesus is coming soon and will establish His Millennial Kingdom from Jerusalem we may pour passions into nationalism. That quickly erodes into replacement theology.

One of the most recognized US Christian Nationalists is Kirk Cameron. He is anti-pretrib. We need to bear in mind that this nation, this world is not our home; that Israel is the coming World Capital.

Christian groups send letter to Politico demanding apology over reporter's viral comments: 'Deeply disturbing'​

EXCLUSIVE - Prominent Christian groups sent a letter to Politico demanding an apology for what they call the "smearing of the Christian faith" following comments made by one of its top reporters.

In the letter addressed to Politico's leadership on Wednesday, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Brian Burch of Catholic Vote slammed Politico national investigative correspondent Heidi Przybyla's "disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups."...

....Perkins and Burch knocked Przybyla for not acknowledging "our own Republic was founded on the belief that our rights come from God, not earthly kings or government," citing the Declaration of Independence....

..."Rhetoric like Ms. Przybyla’s, which demonizes religious groups, is profoundly dangerous. It can motivate disturbed individuals who may be predisposed to commit violence against faith communities… Ms. Przybyla’s comments reflect a pervasive bias that not only prevents her from accurately and fairly covering issues related to religion and religious communities, but Politico’s silence suggests it condones these attacks on people of faith. Ms. Przybyla owes people of faith an apology, as does her employer. Politico must confirm that such offensive comments have no place within its organization," the letter concluded.
