A Christian nation, to be clear, has nothing to do with a Christian Nation-State. I believe in Christian laws enforced by elders and church discipline, but the LAST thing I want to see is a socialist bureaucracy calling itself Christian.

A Christian nation is one in which a ethno-cultural group have taken the Covenant into their hearts and Laws.

What is a Christian Nation?

A term governments make up, to make themselves feel better at night. There is no Christian Nation. Only 'people who believe'.

I wouldn't force God's laws on anyone. Because people need to want God's laws, to do them for their proper reasons.

Fear and force aren't those reasons.
