Every Christmas since I was a kid, warnings have been issued by certain segments of Christianity that Christmas is under attack. The call to arms is sounded every year. Christmas is celebrated by Christians as the birth of Jesus, despite all the warnings and fear. Non-Christians celebrate the spirit of Jesus through gift-giving and spreading joy. Over the years, the war on Christmas has evolved into an apparent nonstop war on Christianity: prayer banned from schools, plaques containing the Ten Commandments removed from some public courthouses, and occasional lawsuits to remove the pledge from the bible. There is a war on Christianity. It isn't coming from where we think it is. Let's use an example from Arizona. Rogers spoke at the conference. America First was founded by a white nationalist. Astardized Jewish subversion of the American creed is what Fuentes views as societal change in the U.S. America was never intended to be a refugee camp for nonwhite people. Jews burned in concentration camps were compared to cookies in an oven by the man. Gosar calls this man a young conservative Christian. A speech by Wendy Rogers, presented as Christian ideology, was filled with anti-Semitic statements. She wanted her enemies to be hanged. She praised the white nationalists. She wrote under the threat of censure that she stood with the Christians worldwide, not the global bankers. I'm a sweet grandma who loves Jesus and America. I am just a sweet grandma who loves Jesus and America. — Wendy Rogers (@WendyRogersAZ) March 1, 2022 Wendy Rogers, Nick Fuentes and Paul Gosar are not like Jesus. Here is what Jesus sounds like. The Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, to let the captives go free, and to recover sight to the blind. Do the same to others as you would to yourself. Love your enemies and pray for them. Love the Lord with all your strength, strength, strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus did not condemn. He restored it. Jesus didn't hate the Jews. He treated them with respect. The anger and grievances of people were not fed by Jesus. He had love and grace as alternatives. Jesus came to put things back together. Jesus did not exclude. He built a tent. Jesus didn't lie. He spoke truth and grace. The war against Christianity is not being waged by the anti-Christian elites or the Woke crowd. It is being waged by people vomiting hate-filled rhetoric in the name of Jesus and/or by people who wrap that hate-filled speech in Christian clothes and/or by people who fail to stand up and say that this is not who Jesus is. My job is not to say whether or not Wendy Rogers is a sweet grandma who loves Jesus or if Nick Fuentes is a young conservative Christian man. I think Jesus loves them. They don't seem to know or believe in it. The destructive opposite of who Jesus is is what their words and actions represent. This hatred in the name of Jesus is damaging Christian goodwill in the U.S. There are a lot of young people walking away from the church and Christianity because the Jesus of people like Rogers and Fuentes and Gosar are not interested in them. He shouldn't be. Jesus doesn't exist. If there is going to be a war on Christianity, then it should be a war against all forms of hate, violence, racism, anti-Semitism and nationalism done in the name of Jesus. The war should use the tools of Jesus, such as grace, unconditional love, uncompromising kindness, lavish generosity, and radical forgiveness. The cross of Jesus is in the sand. hatred, violence or condemnation in the name of Jesus will not be accepted. The final word will be given to those who hate. It is time for Christians of all persuasions to stand on the side of Jesus and show our neighbors the real face of Christianity. Tim Wright is the pastor of Community of Grace Lutheran Church.
