Do Christian Nationalists know what Jesus taught?

Do Christian Nationalists know what Jesus taught? They probably do. At least they can probably pull out some words here and there to support their beliefs. Maybe the real question is, do Christian nationalists understand what Jesus taught? In that case, I have to say the answer is a resounding “No!”

Sure, Christian Nationalists probably are familiar with at least some, if not many, passages in the Bible.

They’ve probably heard a lot too. But hearing begs the question, heard from who? From a pastor or priest who actually gives the true message from Jesus that’s in the Bible? Or is it from anyone, pastor, priest, friend, politician, giving a slanted view of what they think the Bible says? Maybe even what they hope it says? Or want it to say?

The person in the image indicated hearing. However, hearing doesn’t always mean knowing. And especially when it comes to the Bible, knowing doesn’t always mean understanding.

Those are important distinctions. They’re important on at least two counts.
