Meet Dr. George Grant. He is an evangelical educator and a Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) pastor from Texas. He reportedly supports executing homosexuals and he has also publicly endorsed Michele Bachmann for President. In a video that had been featured on the website of the Bachmann campaign, Grant admitted that dominionism exists and that dominionism is exactly what the religious right wants. Basically, Grant is saying that the Christian Right seeks to declare America a Christian state and replace constitutional law with Bible law. He also said that the aim of the religious right is “world conquest.”
“Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ-to have dominion in the civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.
But it is dominion that we are after. Not just a voice.
It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.
It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.
It is dominion we are after.
World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less.
If Jesus Christ is indeed Lord, as the Bible says, and if our commission is to bring the land into subjection to His Lordship, as the Bible says, then all our activities, all our witnessing, all our preaching, all our craftsmanship, all our stewardship, and all our political action will aim at nothing short of that sacred purpose.
Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land – of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. It is to reinstitute the authority of God’s Word as supreme over all judgments, over all legislation, over all declarations, constitutions, and confederations.”
Here’s the video:
The Bachmann campaign quickly took the video off the website, but it is clear why they did so. Bachmann is clearly a major supporter of dominionism which would violate the Constitution and annihilate religious freedom in America if she were to ever capture the White House. Under a Bachmann administration or any other Christian Right backed Republican administration for that matter, dominionism would almost certainly occur. The Christian Right has been desperate for absolute power for decades and are very close to having it. If Dr. Grant had his way, America would kill homosexuals and the Constitution would be burned to a cinder. This man just admitted as much. What do you think of the Christian Right now?
nothing like a bunch of mythology to fuck up an already fucked up political system
Dr. Grant may be “from Texas”, but he currently lives in the Nashville, TN area. He pastors a small congregation in nearby Franklin, TN…in Williamson County, one of the wealthiest counties in the country and one of the hotbeds of right-wing evangelical Christianity.
At last, one of them has publicly come clean about their real intentions. I have been saying for years now that what I call the “Fundamentalist Christian Terrorist Movement” (FTCM) has been operating under a covert agenda for national and eventually world domination for decades. Looks like I was right all along.
hang all the Christians. If they think that work of fiction gives them power vs other religions, then obviously they need to be shown what happens to zealots and terrorists. Each religion is based on similar stories and similar background, the Cult of Christ has stolen from almost every other on the planet thanks to the vatican and church. Don’t believe me do some research. They are a cancer that needs to be burned out. At least Germany knew the place of religion in society. Every copy of that book needs to be burned, the churches taken down and all of those Insane Cultists need to be put to the ax. They’ve done nothing but push down science, discovery and ways to help the world. I burned every bible I have been given and broken every useless cross, I will continue to do so.
And yet there are wackadoos that are worried about Muslims taking over..
Evangelicals are a cancer on the body politic. The best remedy for cancer is chemotherapy and radiation. Which means we should be using chemical weapons and nukes on their churches.
It is the endorsement video that was on Bachman’s campaign site, not the video of the speech referenced above.
God is with us. Let us take dominion over the world. Who says we are not under the special protection of God? We believe today that our conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty
As a Christian we have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but we have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. Our object must be to bring our world into harmony with the numbers of our Christian population. Our feelings as Christians point us to our Lord and Saviour. It points us to the men who, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized non-Christians for what they were and summoned men to take dominion over the world, God’s truth is greatest. In boundless love as Christians and as men we read through passages which tell us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and of adders. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion we recognize more profoundly than ever before—the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As Christians we have no duty to allow ourselves to be cheated, but we have the duty to be fighters for truth and justice. And as men we have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago.
William,
I think you have a totally delusional point of view. You faith in your religion doesn’t make it real. Lacking evidence, faith is all you have. Which means, you are free to have it but you have no right to try to force you view of a supernatural existence on me or anyone else that doesn’t share your OPINION!
I do not care one bit about what a Christian or any other religious adherents wants to do with this country. I just care about the law. Try to study your government from an actual historian instead of a deleted pastor.
In my view, anyone that calls themselves a Christian is not worth having my respect or having their opinions heard in public. They have clearly shown that they prefer to believe in things that cannot be proven and I want people that rely upon empirical data to make decisions about the issue that face the country. Not people that think that a prayer can do anything.
Mr. William Weber, I hold a degree in theology and have read the Bible through from Genesis to Revelation several times, analyzing the passages with the Hebrew and Greek concordance and have NEVER found even one passage indicating that we should be concerned or involved with politics. Jesus said: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:16). Our duty is to make the world better and moving the tongue to criticize others, or imposing our opinion, or shoving the Bible down people’s throat is Not the way Jesus wanted us to accomplish that. We make the world better one person at the time the way David Livingston, mother Theresa and others like them did. Radical and fanatics twist the words and actions of Jesus to justify their extreme and intolerant opinions. Read the book of Acts in the Bible and you will find that there is not one instance in which the apostles ran for office or tried to change the government.
How did you miss 1 Corinthians 6:
5 I say this to move you to shame. Can it be that there really is not one man among you who [in action is governed by piety and integrity and] is wise and competent enough to decide [the private grievances, disputes, and quarrels] between members of the brotherhood,
6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before [Gentile judges who are] unbelievers [without faith or trust in the Gospel of Christ]?
7 Why, the very fact of your having lawsuits with one another at all is a defect (a defeat, an evidence of positive moral loss for you). Why not rather let yourselves suffer wrong and be deprived of what is your due? Why not rather be cheated (defrauded and robbed)?
8 But [instead it is you] yourselves who wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren [by so treating them]!
Boundless love?? Boundless hypocrisy! The instruction was taken from Genesis, and it did NOT order all generations to follow to rule the world. The instructions Jesus gave to his followers was to offer the Gospel, and if it was refused, to move on and offer it elsewhere. He did NOT say to attack, murder those who refuse to convert; not a word about FORCING all people to worship as YOUR idea of “Christian”. He forbade Peter to defend him with a sword. When did God put that sword in YOUR hand? Not allowing you to force others to at least act as you think they ought to is NOT “an attack on Christianity” as Dominionist leaders claim! Christians are the first to admit that God gave humanity free will, and yet they are also the first to try to take it away!
As a free human being, I have a right to live my life as seems best to me. My entire family, my mother included, offered up our lives to defend people’s right to make that choice, and others. I am old now, damaged and in pain, and I’m seeing Radical pseudo-Christians like you being used to create yet another sick, monstrous dictatorship that takes no account of individuality, love, compassion, generosity. Dominionism encourages its followers to lie and steal to accomplish their goals, which are the same as those of any other tinpot dictator: to own everything and everyone; to “Rule the World.” I have never repudiated my oath; I never will. I will fight this incursion of destroyers in the name of a false god as I am able, as long as I can. If I was the last American I would still be obligated to do so. What has happened to my country that there is even a slight danger of this? Brothers and sisters in arms, young and old – meet me in the streets – they are OURS! Meet me here on the Internet – it too is OURS! Meet me, meet each other, wherever we can meet. Refuse to permit this travesty – the theft of our country, our liberties, of everything we value for the sake of a few self-proclaimed ‘elite’ super-wealthy sociopaths. It’s time to take it all back!
William. I honestly cannot justify wasting the time needed to address your diatribe. It did move me enough to ask if you have stopped taking your prescription medication however? Clearly you are living in another world, one of ignorance, blind faith and the dogmatic observance of a book of myths relevant only to a superstitious medieval society.
Please stop posting things on the Internet that make you look foolish. Carry on.
People REALLY do not realize how much of a struggle it is to rule the world in a totalitarian regime…
Video also didn’t provide any proof that he said gays should be executed.
How Dare He! The Christian Right Has No Right To Do Seek This! World Domination Is My Job, Not Theirs! Back to the Volcano to plot my takeover
He would bring back the Inquisition and Un-Reform the Reformation w ith a Counter-Refromation that would make the Holocaust look like a Revival. What this person fails to tell us, with all of his education. is that Chistianity is a “Personal Responsibility” and not truly a National or International one. We do not need a new Constantine or Theodosia, or some other mad man or woman to lead us on another Crusade. IF you believe this, in my opinion, you are more like the Ancient Romans rather than the Christians they persecuted. Spititual Dominion and World Domination are NOT THE SAME THING!
it is so sad that a man who is a doctor (of what)and a preacher ,pastor whatever should even give an opion on this or any subject god didnt choose you to judge anyone thats his job .so why would you post how ignorant you are if you think all gay people should die then your not a christian!again not your job to judge .since i am neither a doctor or paster i can say this what world did you come from you pompus asshole .you should have your degree yanked and as for being a pastor any fool can get people to follow HIS words but those people are probably looking out for the same thing you are tax-exempt money and ower that you can never pocess sice your not god!what a fool i have a high school diplima and have worked doing hard labor drywall finisher and even i know what an idiot you are fake always rears its ugly head sometimes faster than others but yours is thrashing right now .should you die brcause you pretend to spread the lords word when in reality its your personal agenda?just wondering how does ms. bachman look naked !that is the only reason i could think of that you would even write such a non-chirstian article oh there is one more to build up you tax-exempt church crawl back under the rock u came from and go preach to the idiots who have no idea of who you really are what a fool and fake may the lord strike you down for using religion to futher your agenda
That video didn’t say what was quoted. Am I missing something?
