Hi Linda and thanks for that post.

I must confess that I was a little ignorant of this "dominionism" stuff.

Let me say emphatically from the fundamental Independent Baptist evangelical viewpoint regarding that stuff.

In a nutshell, they are so far off base and in outerspace it is utterly scary.

There is nowhere in the BIBLE as a doctrine or any other teaching where this can be found at all in context.

Needless to say, I am very disappointed to read this and wonder what planet did these two come from?

To say that our particular denomination and MOST Baptist groups including SOuthern, American and Conservative and GARBC will disagree with Dominionism and call it what it is: HERESY.

That's a shame that what appears to be on the outside decent people can get messed up with something that outrageous.

It's like Baptist Briders. These lunatics believe that unless you are a Baptist you haven't a chance to see heaven. Its the old "us four and no more" mentality that also is a heresy and an abomination.

Thank you for sharing that information as it IS important to know.

Ron Paul is not electable, though I could vote for him. Romney is no different than any other RINO imo.

SO who's left? That's the question I have.

the best,

micro...

A Christian Plot for Domination?

Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry aren't just devout—both have deep ties to a fringe fundamentalist movement known as Dominionism, which says Christians should rule the world.

by Michelle Goldberg | August 14, 2011 10:51 PM EDT
With Tim Pawlenty out of the presidential race, it is now fairly clear that the GOP candidate will either be Mitt Romney or someone who makes George W. Bush look like Tom Paine. Of the three most plausible candidates for the Republican nomination, two are deeply associated with a theocratic strain of Christian fundamentalism known as Dominionism. If you want to understand Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, understanding Dominionism isn’t optional.

Put simply, Dominionism means that Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions. Originating among some of America’s most radical theocrats, it’s long had an influence on religious-right education and political organizing. But because it seems so outré, getting ordinary people to take it seriously can be difficult. Most writers, myself included, who explore it have been called paranoid. In a contemptuous 2006 First Things review of several books, including Kevin Phillips’ American Theocracy, and my own Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, conservative columnist Ross Douthat wrote, “the fear of theocracy has become a defining panic of the Bush era.”
