For certain men whose condemnation was aritten abut long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and ddeny Jesus Christ, our only sovereign and Lord. Jude, v. 4, NIV

Though the issues about which Jude writes took place in the first century church, history is full of similar kinds of intrusions into the Christian church, intent on gaining trust in order to introduce apostasy and use the church, its people and resourses for their own purposes.

This is, in fact, happening right now, as a good sized segment of American Christianity, known as Evangelicalism, has been invaded by intruders for their own purposes, mainly political and financial gain, and has been hijacked and separated from the Christian gospel. The glaring inconsistencies that are showing up time and time again from what is an unholy blend of legalistic fundamentalist Christian practice with extremist right wing politics with what has been considered authentic Christian practice, rooted in an in-depth, historical, contextual and intellectual study of the Bible make it seem like the two things are not even the same faith.

The Christian Nationalism that has almost completely infiltrated conservative, white Evangelicalism bears no resemblance at all to the words penned in the New Testament, quoting Jesus as he laid out the Christian gospel and revealed God to humanity. As they have been historically, evangelistic outreach and the spread of the Evangelical version of Christian faith has never been about winning converts, it's always been about acquiring political power to use against perceived enemies.
