Christians around the world know the story of Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Christ with a kiss and sold him out for 30 pieces of silver. For centuries, calling someone "a Judas" has meant they're a traitor, and Dante even condemned Judas to the worst punishment in Hell for his actions.

26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

“You cannot touch the ball with your hands.” Those are the rules in soccer. The referee or coach will say something if they see it, but you also have the right to call out your fellow player for breaking the rules. Telling another player they have broken the rules might be difficult if they are your friend, if you fear backlash or if you have also broken the rules. God took us to be his own people, or you could say that he put us on his team. We speak his words, Scripture, to one another as teammates sometimes encouraging with the gospel, other times calling out sin.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics.
