Sighting: Communion Sunday July 4th, communion cups neatly arranged on the narthex table over an American flag decoration? Hmm, that's different. Yup, that's dangerous, theologically speaking. Because as we know, Christ's work on the cross was for all time, all peoples, living in all places.
"God so loved the world that he sent his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Have you noted the latest publishing project, God Bless the USA Bible to be released in September 2021? Why package the Bible plus U.S. Constitution, Pledge of Allegiance, and song lyrics "God Bless the USA? Why conflate American nationalism and politics with the ancient, international Christian faith? This too is dangerous drift, theologically speaking.
No one country can claim Christ. God's kingdom was ushered in at the cross where heaven and earth met in Christ.
Yes, understanding basic Christian theology still matters, profoundly so.
