Does the Great Commission Imply a Need For Christian Nationalism?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Is it unfair for God to require sinful people to “be holy as I am holy”?
  2. Is it possible to love my neighbor without liking them?
  3. A lot of pastors and Christians who talk about the idea of Christian Nationalism say things like the Great Commission requires us to disciple nations, not just people, and therefore Christian Nationalism should be apart of the church’s mission in spreading the gospel. What do you think?
  4. Should we insist on not talking about politics in church? If these things affect our lives, why shouldn’t we talk about politics?
  5. Does 1 Corinthians 11 forbid women from cutting their hair?
