First, y our faith is a political threat because you believe Jesus is King, and every nation conspires against Jesus. Leeman then listed four ways that Christianity is a political threat.
In fact, if you live a biblical life, one should expect to be persecuted. This threat is more like a virus or termie that eats or affects the idols that we worship whether it is a political regime, market, etc. Instead, we live in the in-between on not a threat to the state but a threat to political idols. On the other hand, Acts 24 shows that Paul was not an insurrectionist who is a threat to the state per se because Christianity does not encourage insurrection. Since everyone brings their gods into the public square, our faith should be a threat to other idols. and that worship will influence all of our decisions. Freeman argues that everyone worships something whether God, money, sex, politics, etc. However, we should think of this as Christians being culture warriors but ambassadors for Christ.īeginning with Acts 19, he shows that Christianity is a threat to religion and economics as Demetrius opposed Paul's teaching because it undermined his religion and livelihood as one who made idols for those who worship at the Temple of Artemis. Leeman began with a meditation on the idea that "Jesus is Lord and has been given authority in everything in Heaven and Earth." Because Jesus is Lord, our faith is a political threat because it influences how we think and behave. This afternoon, Jonathan Leeman of 9 Marks Ministries spoke on Union's Campus on "Why Your Chrisitianity is a Political Threat." While the Center for Politics and Religion and School of Theology and Missions sponsored the event today, the event was possible by the Institute for Religion and Democracy.
