This very question was being raised at the time. How can someone be a Christian and not believe the basic tenets of Christian teaching? Good question.How could someone be a Christian without believing in these things. God is spirit, supernatural. Jesus rose from the dead, performed miracles.
Again, how could one not pray and be a Christian. Through prayer we have a relationship with God. No prayer, no relationship, no change, no improvement.
I am sure that some who claim they are Christians may believe these things, wear Marxist lenses ... communism ... everyone is equal in every way. We are not equal in this world. Those who are in Christ are spiritually equal. Though it even states that some will get more rewards in heaven than others - that's not equal.
Hmm. That's interesting. Thanks for sharing your research.
What I had in mind was a time during the late 19th century when American Protestantism fractured into two parts: a conservative branch and a liberal branch and the definitions of "conservative" and "liberal" centered on the question of the inerrancy of the Bible. During that time, Christian Parents were sending their kids off to college and university, only to find that their children had lost their faith. This was due in part to a shift in higher education away from the humanities and toward science and engineering.
Thus, during that time, Christian Fundamentalism was born, which was a movement to teach and defend the fundamentals of the Christian faith in a world that was quickly rejecting faith and the Bible as a means to truth. Also during that time, other "Christians" were attempting to integrate science into the faith and in part, rejected the supernatural and everything that comes with it including God's revelation and his message to mankind. These folks began to adopt the progressive and humanitarian philosophies to suggest that man is basically and fundamentally good. The good news message of salvation was replaced with the emphasis on education as the means to human human fulfillment.
It's about turning the whole social order upside down on it's head.As an avid reader of all points of view to make sure I can give a well rounded answer to questions, a liberal christiasn is usually one who does not place much value on what the scripture teaches.
They are by and large in favour of the latest fad that is going around.
They seem to subscribe to the mantra we must be loving and accepting without clarifying what they mean by that.
They usually suppoprt homosexual rights especially their right to lead churches and marry each other.
They usually do not consider homosexuality a sin.
They usually do not consider anything sin.
They usually consider conservative christians as the devil incarnate.
They usually twist the scriptures to mean what they want it to mean.
They usually parrot what the world says about the conservative church.
They usually prefer leaders that are not born again, just religious.
They usually cannot support their claims from scripture.
They usually do not believe that Jesus Christ is Lord.
They usually believe that the final authority is the church (theirs), not the scriptures.
They will often employ a lesbian to run the church.
They will often march in homosexual pride (sic) marches.
They will often condemn people who tell the truth about homosexuality.
They will often side with homosexuals against conservative churches.
They will often fight for the right to abortion (baby killing).
Thery will often get involved in fad movements and marches that oppose anything conservative.
They will often preach love but display hate if you disagree with them.
They will often adopt the language of people opposed to anything conservative.
They will often get upset if you challenge their interpretation of the truth.
Their religion is a convenience, not a lifestlye.

I am not against people having rights to an abortion but I am against abortion on demand for no good reason. there are many things involved in such for women just in complications etc for a start. so I am not on the side of ignorance as in the regards as that the Socialist will claim that Christians stance is to must have the baby regardless with no regards to the woman with child at all.
Doctor says look you are going to have great complications or die, the child is going to be a spastic, deformed never to be a functioning human ever etc etc one is to old is another that problems are increased that such is ignorance.
And I am certainly not for back yard abortions at all. that was dreadful that people had to go to such lengths.
The socialist make out that Christians are all ignorant on the issue and that's how they have got the upper hand that they think Christians are being just stupid and totally ignorant.
It's the same with gay issues, they think Christians are stupid and ignorant so they just dismiss Christians totally, we have been set up ! so our voice is worthless let alone you will be jailed for bring a issue up. you have no rights to the subject anymore at all.
A mother of dad of a child have authority over their children until they are 16yo, so if one was to reject such as puberty blockers, they would have every right to do so by law.So right in many ways. I read recently of a father in Canada who was sent to jail because he would not agree to his son getting puberty blockers.

I think it was NSW that started this off first and is the worst offender as to this regard in Australia, I was at a forum where a child psychologist was talking all about such things and the shocking state of what is truly going on nowadays with such and who is behind it all. he was 65yo and did not care if he was kicked out of his job for going against the powers that be. he even pointed out examples as to how he fixed the problems with such things.
I think you brought up some excellent points.
Half of Christianity accept Theistic
Evolution. And I do think Catholics are more in line with this view - even the Pope. The Theory of Evolution has polluted our schools
for a good part of the 20th century. Prayer was taken out of the schools in the early 60's. So being this strong force pushing against Creationism, a compromise developed, Theistic Evolution. They believe God started things out and then let evolution take its course. A marriage of sorts - an unholy alliance with junk science.
Genesis doesn't support that view, so they had to misinterpret it to the point where you can't really take it literally. When you allow Genesis to be distorted, manipulated to conform to a junk science like the TOE and it's relative TE, then the rest of the Bible is up for grabs. You can begin questioning whether homosexuality is really against God's plan and purpose, abortion, fornication, adultery, etc. White lies are okay, stealing small things from work, using and manipulating people for a profeit. Rules and laws were made to be bent right? Bit then more crucial issues come up. Were miracles really true? Did Christ really rise from the dead?
Any commandment becomes questionable and they begin to challenge it. It is rebelliousness against God. It is sin to change and distort the meaning of the Bible or to add or subtract from it.
So this liberalism is this form of rebelliousness to push against God's truth, to be free from and break away from the rules, the way, because it doesn't work with their way. Why not be honest and say you don't believe in what the Bible says? Liberalism is compromising every single truth and way that God intended for us.
You cannot just pick and choose the scriptures that work for your life and discard or distort the rest. You must receive all of God's Word.
Liberalism is just doing whatever the heck you want to do - your free and then of course since God started things out and let mankind go - its up to us to call the shots, progress towards humanity's idea of Utopia.
BAD IDEA!
Why would you even bother to attend a church that is clearly going against scripture ?? Here in Canada.. we have the United Church... and in the city where I live... the pastor is a married lesbian... they also perform gay weddings... I would never step foot in this kind of place. Then again... there are many churches I would not step foot in.n a personal note, I made a visit to the local branch of the Metropolitan Community Church which is run by homosexuals and lesbians and who justify sin. The lesbian in charge that day was all dolled up in her regalia and she went through the bastardised version of the Anglican service. It was like being in an empty tomb. Dead and lifeless.
Afterwards refreshments were served and I was very aware that a young man was stalking me and wanting to get me into bed. Being a first time visitor he didn't know me so I was fair game.
I think I remember seeing a Metropolitan Church in Los Angeles. They delete Rom. 1;26-27 or interpret it another way. To them the judgment against Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with homosexuals, "they were just sinners in general". Homosexuality wasn't their only sin but when Lot had to discourage his male neighbors from wanting to have sex with His guests ( who were angels) by offering his daughters instead gives is an example of their nature.O

Sounds like a defensive posture.I don't really understand the term 'liberal Christian' but to me it means tolerance rather than finger pointing. I means not banging people on the head with scripture. It means not adhering to religious rules and doctrines which are man-made. It means loving and caring and looking at the good in people. Of course that may not really answer the OP but it what I thought of when I saw it.
The tragedy of it all will come out and people will be shocked and in horror as to what is truly going on nowadays, but the thing is the MSM are hiding all such in depth reality's from the public, not to mention political powers are actively Nazi like threating all who would speak out on such matters openly on any form of the subject that they will just shut such a one down directly. freedom of speech is undermined, now I ask myself why is it that nowadays we have all this Nazi type of lording over subject matter. one day the majority may wake up out of their pig ignorance and understand that the works of Satanist are corrupting them. as the fact of the matter is that they are in fact actively bastardising people.I am not sure this is gospel but it seems to me that this whole transgender thing is going to unravel as the truth comes out. More and more professional are kicking back at the demands made on them to turn children into the opposite sex. They have seen that after going through puberty what you are not is not such a good idea.
And not to mention all those who were transgendered are trying to unravel the stupidity of it all.

Fascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government.Hmmmm....... Interesting how some from both sides of politics are calling each other facists.
Even if there was such a thing among animals - we are not animals.Fascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government.
This seems to be the most common explanation of fascism. One has to look at the origins of the term and how it came about. Basically it was a revolt against communism and totalitarianism. Today it is a revolt against neo marxism and totalitarianism so in that sense it is a far right movement today as it was before.
The background to it is not much different to what it was previously. The main difference is the neo marxists are not using guns to control the world they are using words and the silencing of people that disagree with them. Hence political correctness, cancel culture and things like the dominance of homosexuality which is a protected species and considered normal and those that do not agree are bigoted, hateful and homophobic.
One of their main weapons is the word hate. If you disagree with them you hate them. Whereas in fact the words spoken are not hate by any stretch of the imagination. They are usually words they hate because they are the truth. That is because homosexuality is one big lie and if you are homosexual you are living a lie so you don't want to hear the truth.
Frteedom of speech is integral to this and the neo marxists will suppport such as long as you agree with them. If you don't, you are to be silenced hence political correctness and the cancel culture. That is why there is no longer freedom of speech on universities. The neo marxists have taken the long march through the universities and they now control thoughts and words and if a lecturer wants to keep their job they have to toe the line.
I have discovered over the years that controlling words is far more dangerous than using guns. I have always fought back against the lies of homosexulality and as a result they throw up all sorts of brain dead claims that do not have a skerrick of truth in them but as I counter with fact after fact after fact which I have collected over the last 30 years they often back down because they realise that they are talking to someone who did not come down in the last shower.
I have noticed they are so devoid of fact all they can do is parrot the same lies over and over and over again. That is until I point out it is a lie and the evidence for same and then and only then do they back track.
One of the classic ones is that there is homosexuality in 1500 species of animals, which is total rubbish. When I tell them that I have seen numerous documentaries that show the alpha male ALWAYS fights to have control over sex in the tribe with females and not one shows any fights to have the rights for sex with other males they realise the stupidity of their claim.
You would think that if homosexuality was normal in 1500 species at least one documantary would show a fight for same sex sex. None, zilch, doesn't happen.
How does one cope or deal with Marxism and Totalitarianism of today ? it's a war that we are loosing to very badly, because the majority are not truly educated on such subjects. they do not understand what freedom is truly about or they misunderstand what true freedom truly is in fact, they mistake freedom for licence.Fascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government.
