Does Political Power Contradict the Cross? Plus Q&A




I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST show

Summary: <br> Some Christians are saying that since Christ saved the world through weakness by agreeing to go on the cross, Christians should not use power in politics or culture wars. Christianity Today leader Russell Moore recently wrote a column titled, "THE CROSS CONTRADICTS OUR CULTURE WARS: The victory of Christ was won by crucifixion, not societal conquest.” Is Moore correct? Is it unchristian to seek political power to right wrongs in society through law?<br> Frank points out several problems with Moore’s position, which is becoming more popular among Christian intellectuals (to the delight of secularists and Leftists everywhere). He also answers listener questions including those on how to answer scoffers and how to honor parents who are not Christians.<br> Links mentioned in the show:<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/april-web-only/holy-week-good-friday-cross-christ-evangelical-culture-wars.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cross Contradicts Our Culture Wars</a> by Russell Moore<br> <a href="https://stream.org/christianity-today-had-an-easter-message-were-just-better-than-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christianity Today Had an Easter Message: We’re Just … Better Than You</a> by Eric Metaxas<br> <br> If you would like to submit a question to be answered on the show, please email your question to <a href="mailto:Hello@Crossexamined.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hello@Crossexamined.org</a>.<br> <br> Subscribe on Apple Podcast: <a href="http://bit.ly/CrossExamined_Podcast">http://bit.ly/CrossExamined_Podcast</a> Rate and review!
