“The great message of the Christian Gospel is … the church is the people and place (blut und boden) and you have that, you have your soil, you have your people, your place, in the Kingdom of God and I get to preach that every Sunday to these people that unites them together not along these superficial … unites them together along this beautiful Gospel family that He has put together and I feel like this (what Wolfe is championing) is threatening that.”

Yes… the Church is the place where one comes into and loses not only their blood and soil but also their gender. After all, if we are all one in Christ Jesus, per Gordon’s hackneyed interpretation of Galatians 3 and Ephesians 2, then that means that the boundaries and distinctions of sex have been removed as well. One can’t consistently argue that Gospel one-ness eliminates race/ethnicity but doesn’t erase gender.
Gordon wants to insist that the very real distinctions that God ordained us to have in creation are eliminated in re-creation. For Gordon, Grace destroys nature. This quote proves, in spades, that that is his view.
For Gordon, the idea of Christian Nationalism … the idea that, in and by creation God has placed us in social realities of blood, place, gender, and class is nothing but superficial realities that are transcended once one enters into the Kingdom of God.
This is the doctrine of the Marxists where all colors bleed into one. Chrissy might as well started singing,
“Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do”
Except Chrissy wants to insist that this is the Christian Gospel… this defines the Kingdom of God.
I have my differences with Wolfe, but what he is championing in most of his conclusions (as opposed to his rancid methodology) is just historic Biblical Christianity.
I also think that Wolfe let Gordon get away with far too much sloppy talk. Wolfe should’ve pushed back much more strenuously on Gordon.
