In this episode of Kingdom Polemics, host Aldo Leon offers a spirited response to a recent discussion from The Mortification of Spin podcast, where Todd Pruitt and Carl Trueman criticized proponents of the establishment principle and Christian nationalism. Aldo defends the historic Reformed view of the civil magistrate, arguing that Christians who hold to national covenanting and the establishment principle are being unfairly targeted as problematic within their denominations. He challenges the accusations that these positions are novel or dangerous, drawing on historical Reformed theology to show their validity.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Critique of Todd Pruitt and Carl Trueman: Aldo critiques Pruitt and Trueman's portrayal of Christian nationalists and their suggestion that these views should be excluded from ordination in Reformed denominations.
  • Historical Reformed Theology: Aldo presents a defense of the establishment principle and national covenanting, arguing that they are deeply rooted in historic Reformed confessions and not a new or fringe development.
  • Anger in the Church: Addressing accusations that proponents of Christian nationalism are "angry," Aldo explores the place of righteous anger in confronting wickedness in society and the church.
  • Role of the Civil Magistrate: A key theme of the episode is the role of the civil magistrate in enforcing both tables of the law and how this has been misunderstood or downplayed in modern Reformed circles.
  • Call for Unity and Healthy Debate: Aldo appeals to his Reformed brothers to engage in healthy debate over these important issues rather than seeking to exclude or vilify those with differing views.
