LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY bloodandsalsa)

I have a question of method--now, Dominionism has a more strict definition in theological corners than we seem to be using--it doesn't theologically make sense for premillenialist Fundamentalists to be Dominionists per Rushdoony. Post-meillenial eschatology is the rationalization for it. So, we trying to come with a criterion for a post, does simple "Christian Nationalism" apply. This is partly because I seems biblical literalism and intolerance of other religions (or lack thereof) is used as the criterion for Dominionism--which could apply to any Fundamentalist whose politically active in the least. I think there is some truth to that being a threat, but it's not Dominionism strictly speaking. Dominionism requires a want to make the world into the Kingdom of heaven physically and that pretty much requires post-millenialism eschatology. I now I sound pedantic, but you can't fight people effectively (especially without violence) without understanding their worldview and not all fundamentalist or even Christian Nationalists have the same world view. Tim LaHay is not a dominionist, he's a Christian Nationalist (his eschatology is premillenial to the extreme), Pat Robertson DOES seem to be a Dominionist proper, or at least flirts with it.
