Gregory Boyd on "The Myth of a Christian Nation" Part 2/3

Charlie Rose interviews Pastor Gregory Boyd on his book, "The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church."

Although Boyd is no liberal, he lost one-fifth of his congregation when he preached that the church should steer clear of mixing the gospel with a specific political stance.

shall i just end your mistery for you;

hello american god believeing folk,

your wrong.

creativists; science is fact its objective, fossils of human and animal remains have been found dating back millions of years so how can it be you believe the world is only a few thousands years old.

you believe everything about god and how the world was created yet you forget that these books were written a long time after any of these events actually happened.

dosey,

That comment is unrelated to this video. Besides, I would guess that most Christians, including Boyd, do not believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old. To equate Christianity with young earth creationism is a sign of ignorance.

Although Greg and I disagree on religion. I have the up most respect for him.

[mayartay]

Agreed. I respect him udderly! :)

The Christian Faith + Republican [or Democratic, or Liberterian, or any] politics is idolatry. Listen to "Christians" talk whose politics and faith are "intertwined" and you'll see that they talk about politics more than they do about Jesus Christ.

The title of this book is kind of misleading, I thought it was going to be about how this country wasn't founded as a Christian nation.

The Kingdom Of God is like a mustard seed.

Christians are blinded about the federal reserve and how it creates paradigms and hegelian dialectics. dems/pubs, com/ fasc. Jim Wallace vs right wing moral majority. Boyd seems partially sold on socialist principles without considering liberty and gov by the people at local level without a central fed. We don't need a christian nation, but a free nation for all, without forcing special rights for some at others expense.

I'm not a Christian, I'm an agnostic, and I find many of his views are thoughtful, and his want to be Christ-like, not to have power over others, refreshing. Do I agree with his views on abortion or homosexuality as a sin? No, I think there should be limited, legal, safe abortions for specified cases, and that there is nothing morally wrong or inferior about being gay. I respect him because in a sermon he states that he could be wrong about homosexuality being a sin; he isn't god after all.

@cybermone He actually has Q&A after his sermons.

[MidnightWriter8210]

A good video! This needs to be talked about more and debunk all of the myths!

@writersblock26 As were many other people including people today.

@TheNightwing01 What is interesting about both Jesus of Nazareth and Alexander the Great is that they were both said to have resulted from virgin births.
