Greg Boyd is right
I don’t know if you saw the CNN special God’s Warriors but they had a myriad of pastors discussing their view of mixing Christianity and politics. They had Jerry Falwell, John Hagee, Greg Boyd, and a few others. Certainly all the pastors I picked were not on my top ten theologians list but of all the messages that I heard Greg Boyd’s agreed with me the most. He states that “America is not the Kingdom of God” on the broadcast in seeming opposition to Falwell’s and Hagee’s message. I think in a lot of American churches there is this hubris which agrees that America is God’s nation and just maybe a little less than Israel in the OT and that is dangerous to say that.
Boyd also states that Christianity should have more to say in politics than just that homosexual marriage and abortion is wrong. Christians should speak out against greed corporations that have sweat shops in third world countries and have more to say about fighting poverty and other ‘life issues’.
I only wish they could have gotten someone who was not a heretic to espouse the political views that Boyd did.
