BEWARE OF DOMINIONISM
As I pointed out to someone recently, Dominionism is the MARRIAGE of modern politics and religion in the United States of America — and now spreading elsewhere — just as the Scribes and the Pharisees of old were in bed with the Romans in order to ensure their survival for a while longer.
More specifically, in the USA, Dominionism is the marriage of the Christian Right with the GOP. Many Republicans — including Donald Trump — are very much into it for political gain.
Some organizations and movements which embrace Dominion theology include MAGA, Turning Point USA, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), Trinity Broadcasting Network, etc.
You will hear names such as Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, Paula White, Michael Flynn and politicians such as Mike Johnson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert being associated with Dominionism to varying degrees.
Please note that I have nothing personal against any of the aforementioned individuals, and in fact agree with their concerns regarding the very serious spiritual downward spiral of the United States.
However …..
The seven pillars — or seven mountains — theology of Dominionism is totally contrary to the Scriptures which admonish Believers to remain set apart from the world. The pattern of the New Testament Church was NOT to engage politically with the world. It was simply to stay separate — as Jesus said — and to preach the Gospel.
The First Century Church did NOT promote political activism. Period. That is what the Roman Catholic Church did a few centuries later under emperor Constantine and forward.
If anyone doubts my word, then please read the Scriptures for yourself and be convinced:
