Featured Christian Flag above the American Flag?

Ok so you believe that flying the American flag on church property indicates that the church “belongs” to a human government? Just asking for clarity

 

They are honoring an earthly, human government on church property. Those who are Christians are seeking a homeland. Where we live on this earth is not it.

Hebrews 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

 

Ok prove to me that those who fly flags in their church are seeking a homeland above the kingdom of God?

Further why is it you believe a Christian flag is wrong?

 

Why are they flying a government honoring an earthly, human government when all human governments belong to this world and Satan is the prince of this world, and when Satan tempted Christ he said he could give them to Him and Christ did not dispute that he could do so?

 

Where is there a description of such a flag in the New Testament?

 

Jehovah-nissi is sufficient for me.

 

These come to mind:
Deuteronomy 23:22.
* Matthew 5:33-37.
* James 5:12.
1 Peter 2:13.
* Acts of the Apostles 5:29.
Of course oaths and vows previously made should be kept.

 

Then don't call it a "Christian" flag. Call it a Baptist Flag or some such.

 

Baptist Flag

 

None however does that in and of itself create a problem for the church in your view? If so how and or why?

 

Why try to tie the church to some earthly emblem? The church is the kingdom of Christ and Christ said His kingdom is not of this world; it is a spiritual kingdom. We are already in the kingdom. Christ is reigning right now. Colossians 1:13-14 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

 

Do your position is that even though it is representative of Christianity at least to most Christians not all your position is that because man made it up then it is corrupt and therefore ungodly? I’m just asking for clarity

 

It may be representative of a religion. It is not representative of Biblical Christianity. Just as some people call the United States a "Christian" nation. It is is not. One could say it is a religious nation. But it is certainly not a Christian nation in the Biblical sense as Christ told us that there are few Christians. If the majority of people in a country have never been Christians, then that country is not a "Christian" country.

 

From what I have read on the subject, most Baptist churches use what is commonly known today as the Christian flag. Technically - Biblically - there is really no such thing. And I do not think it really matters.

 

Ok but I’m trying to getting an understanding of your support for your claims here. This is not real evidence can you provide clear scripture against it? Or is this just a personal choice for you?

 

Amen!
