Audio: Moral Imperative

On this episode of Protestia Tonight for September 26th, we go live to discuss the fallout from the G3 Conference and answer sincere questions about the state of the anti-woke schism occurring on the issue of Christian Nationalism. Here is David's related Twitter thread: Refusing to discuss/examine ethnicity (especially its moral components) as distinct from genetic similarity plays into the hands of godless critical theorists pushing moral hierarchies based on racial groups. The left wants to tie morality to skin color. Don't fall for it. Ethnicities are distinguished by many factors, some moral and some neutral. Moral factors include things like laws, religious practices, human rights, etc. Neutral factors include cuisine, aesthetics, genetic similarity, and location (practical realities of time and space). "Wait! Nothing is morally neutral! It's not if, but which!" Yes, the overall orientation of a nation, culture, or ethnicity may be definable by its moral disposition, and even our commitment to neutrality on certain matters is itself not morally neutral (think Xtian liberty). Yet, as Christians, we subject everything in our lives to Christ. This includes all aspects of whatever ethnicity we find ourselves in - rejecting what opposes Him, promoting what glorifies Him, and practicing grace towards the "neutrals" (of which there are many). At the level of God's sovereign will, nothing is morally neutral. Yet, in pursuit of God's glory, He allows good, evil, as well as intrinsic neutrals. Our moral action is not in view of God's sovereignty even as our hope relies on it. Our moral action is captive to the Word. Legalism assigns moral imperative to things God's Word does not, and a thing's presence within the scope of God's sovereignty (an existing culture/ethnicity/nation) is not defacto proof of that thing's goodness nor our moral responsibility to maintain it as it exists. Evangelism ceases to exist if there is an imperative to maintain ethnicities as they are presently comprised. Practically or rhetorically making genetics (a moral neutral) an intrinsic part of ethnicity (making ethnicity morally neutral) neuters our transformational mandate.
