Featured Christian Flag above the American Flag?

Christian flags, Christmas and Easter.​

 

The church is to spread the gospel. That is its mission, as well as caring for its members.

Now, the influence of Christians can have a salient impact for the good of society, but it is a by-product of preaching the gospel of Christ.

 

It is certainly not a "hill to die on." Can be a good discussion topic, though.

 

How one believes a Christian flag should or shouldn't be displayed is not a matter taught in the word of God. But making it some kind of idolatry could be problematic. Our salvation being a free gift should be totally unrelated.

 

Agreed. 2 Kings 18:4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.

 

So do you think "Baptist" churches are making the Christian flag use to be some kind of idolatry? Seriously?

 

I was thinking along the lines of the flag of the United States.

 

The flag by pledge represents "one nation under God." How is that idolatry?

 

The United States can be called a religious nation. It, nor any nation, cannot be called a Christian nation, as there are few Christians, as Christ Himself said.

 

you know if you are going to talk about something you should have a full understanding about it. On this topic you are either being obtuse or ignorant. That phrase refers to its founding not the number of Christian’s.

 

There were few Christians in the United States in 1776, no different than 1876, or 1976, or 2021.

 

Obtuse it is

 

BTW, the word rapture is not in the Bible either

 

neither is toilet maybe we should get all bathrooms out of the churches lest we be thought to be worshiping them

 

How is a toilet a part of Christian worship?

 

Our Church does have an American flag and Christian flag on display. The youth say pledges to each. The American flag is in the prominent position on the speakers right.

My preference would be to have neither. Or at least have the Christian flag in the prominent position. Is our allegiance to the U S flag, Christian flag, or Christ?

I know I'm in the minority on this, but then I'm the guy that finds the song "Old Rugged Cross" idolatrous.

 

And I love that old cross
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
I will cling to the old rugged cross
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

To it sounds like worshiping the cross more than the Christ.

I don't know anyone who agrees.
