In this manner, we can be Christian nationalists. Of course, it was precisely nationalism, an ungodly nationalism, that created much of the tyranny in Nazi Germany. This did not justify Christians'revolution. It meant that, as in all states, Christians were required to obey the law of the state unless it conflicted with God's law in the Bible. But this itself meant that Christian nationalists were called to oppose the unbiblical nationalism of the Nazis.
Christian nationalism requires opposition to anti-Christian nationalism .
In Nazi Germany, it meant denying the notion that the state was somehow Christian or that God's blessings were on the Nazi program. It meant protecting the weak and oppressed, and not only the Christians, but also the Jews and others persecuted by the Nazi regime. It meant remaining loyal to Christ and his word and resisting the seduction to compromise. All of this is to say that Christian nationalism requires Christians to desire for their nation fidelity to Christ and his word. But we cannot be true to the Bible unless we are Christian internationalists.
