You can't legislate Morality

God doesn’t bend us to His will using violence, coercion and force. He bends us to His will by loving us to the point of his own death – even to death on a cross.

But the Christian nationalist would still try to impose the kingdom of God through politics. If we’re going to have this mythical Christian nation, it will become necessary to force people to comply with “God’s law.”

There is no doubt that Christian nationalists could seize political power and force people to behave according to their dictates — to some degree. I mean, right now, we have a non-Christian President being a puppet to some things suggested by the Heritage Foundation ( Project 2025). Trump, however, has no moral compass and it's hard to say what he sees when he reads things Christians write. And I'm not defending Heritage Foundation. They are a group of people with some form of Christian convictions trying to make the whole country obey. It's like Moscow, Idaho on steroids. It's misguided and built on a sand filled foundation. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (I Cor 3:11) Whatever or however they choose to implement the Kingdom of God on earth, it still wouldn’t be a “Christian nation.” Power and force only go so far. You can punish people for sexual immorality. You can outlaw divorce. You can crack down on all manner of “unchristian” behavior. But you can’t compel somebody to love their neighbor. And you can’t beat somebody into loving God.

And as I have said many time, choosing God is a moral decision. And you absolutely CANNOT legislate morality.
