¿ä¾à: |
The tragedies of 11 September 2001 are grievous not only for the lives taken
by terrorists, but also because their aftermath has powerfully revealed that
we, the Church in the United States, have prostrated ourselves before the
idol of our nation. Thus, it is with great sadness that the endorsers of
this document humbly plead with our churches to join us in repentance,
turning from the United States' twisted notions of liberty, democracy and
justice, from the historical misconceptions of its "Christian heritage" and
from the ubiquitous greed that drives our nation. Jesus is calling his
people in the United States today to grieve the sins of our nation, to
return to our first love, and to once again recognize him alone as our King
and the provider of our security.

| 1. When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand," he called us to become citizens of His Kingdom.

| 6. The Founding Fathers of the United States
¡ª despite their unanimous theism ¡ª held a wide spectrum of religious beliefs, and the claim that they all were disciples of Jesus is a dangerous falsehood grounded in boastful mythology that arose in the early nineteenth century.

| 9. Therefore, the only vestige of the Christian faith that we find exhibited in the documents that established the United States are moral and legal imperatives condensed from the Scriptures.

¡ª e.g., the social and economic justice of the Jubilee ¡ª were discarded.

| 12. Even if the Founding Fathers had embraced the whole of Scriptural law (and yet refused to recognize Christ), the United States would not be a Christian Nation, for as the Apostle Paul reminds us (Rom. 3:20ff, Eph. 2:8-9, etc.) the basis of Christianity is faith in Christ's gospel of grace, not Law.

| 13. Therefore, the Founding Fathers, by clinging to the philosophies of their day and thus relegating faith to the private sphere and by choosing a selective approach to the Scriptures, created in essence a space in which a new religion could arise.

| 14. As the nineteenth century progressed and as the United States grew as an economic and political power
¡ª and at the same time, as the church was waning as a cultural institution¡ª a new religion did emerge, one which astute scholars have labeled the "American Civil Religion."

| 15. The highest value of this American civil religion is not Christianity's love for Yahweh and neighbor, but rather personal liberty.

| 17. Indeed, Jesus's statement that "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" reminds us that true liberty comes only through Christ (who calls himself the "Truth," John 14:6) and thus that liberty must take a backseat to Christ-like love.

| 19. Beginning with the American Revolution, the United States' relentless pursuit of liberty has been the cause of most of its wars, in which hundreds of thousands of lives have been taken
¡ª including those of many Christians. |
19. ¹Ì±¹ Çõ¸í°ú ÇÔ²² ½ÃÀ۵Ǿî, ¹Ì±¹ÀÇ Áý¿äÇÑ ÀÚÀ¯ÀÇ Ãß±¸´Â ¹Ì±¹ÀÌ °ü·ÃµÈ ´ëºÎºÐÀÇ

| 20. In contrast, Jesus himself distinguished His Kingdom from worldly ones by stating that His Kingdom needed no violence to defend it (Jn. 18:36).
|
20. ¹Ý´ë·Î, ¿¹¼ö ÀÚ½ÅÀº, ±×ºÐÀÇ ³ª¶ó´Â ±×¸¦ ¼öÈ£Çϱâ À§ÇØ ¾î¶² Æø·Âµµ ÇÊ¿äÇÏÁö ¾Ê´Ù°í

| 21. Jesus's words therefore remind us again that the United States is not the Kingdom of God, and that the God in which it trusts is not the triune Yahweh.

| 22. Thus, it is not difficult to see that this new American religion centered on liberty required a god shaped in its own image, an idol quite distinct from the triune God of the Christian faith.

| 24. Robert Bellah has described this idol: "The god of the civil religion is not only rather 'unitarian,' he is also on the austere side, much more related to order, law and right than to salvation and love."

| 25. Although the Founding Fathers did not intend to replace Christianity with a civil religion, they did expect that, at least for the nation's leaders, Christianity would be subordinated to the will of the State (Robert Bellah has said: "(In the United States,) the national magistrate, whatever his private religious views, operates under the rubrics of the civil religion as long as he is in his official capacity.")

| 26. Despite the intentions of the Founding Fathers, Jesus has made it clear that his followers (in the United States or elsewhere) cannot simultaneously serve two masters for they will end up loving one and hating the other¡ª cf. Mt 6:24, Lk. 16:13.

¡ª ¸¶Åº¹À½6:24, ´©°¡º¹À½16:13). |
| 27. Thus, American governmental officials who profess Christ (and particularly those at the highest levels) find themselves straining to serve two masters and we, the Church, should not look to them as heroes of the Christian faith or as prophets speaking God's words to His people.

| 29. For America to retain its power, we the Church must be deceived for as Herbert Richardson has said: "The real limitation on the power of the state is its citizens' loyalty to and participation in groups whose membership, goals and procedures are not isomorphic or consistent with the membership, goals and procedures of the state."

| 31. We have fallen prey to the presumptuous notion that our nation is God's chosen people; this proud lie no doubt has numerous roots including the early Puritan view that understood the American colonies as a "New Israel" and the Founding Fathers' choice to claim a divine origin for the fundamental values and laws of the nation.

Founded to challenge the rampant
nationalism in the churches of the United States
after September 11, 2001,
Kingdom Now
serves today to connect and edify radical
Christian communities. Our mission is twofold:
1. to continue to challenge nationalism in our
churches and to call the Body of Christ to a
deeper level of allegiance to the Kingdom of God.
2. to train church communities to live under the
reign of God in all things, and thus to encourage
the growth of a biblical counter-culture, the
formation of a people whose life together models
an alternative to all the world's ways of death.
