Just like everything else, progressive-ism has come to Christianity. <\/p>\n
Let me give you some bullet points about what they teach:<\/p>\n
The Bible is not the authoritative Word of God
\nThere is no such thing as Original Sin – man is basically good
\nAdam and Eve are an allegory
\nThere are no miracles such as the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection
\nEvolution is science
\nJesus was not divine and is not to be worshipped
\nChrist is a universal energy that was present at the Big Bang
\nChrist is good energy working through all things
\nJesus came to show us a better way – to love, not save us from our sins
\nJesus isn’t the only way
\nJesus’ atonement was cosmic child abuse
\nGod is an abuser and blood-thirsty
\nThe blood atonement is rejected
\nLove is greater than justice
\nSince God is love He can overlook sin
\nHell is here on earth
\nThey emphasize personal belief: feelings over facts
\nEssential doctrines can be redefined
\nHistoric terms are redefined
\nThe historic terms are redefined
\nThe Gospel shifts from sin to social justice
\nThe focus is on us not God<\/p>\n
Some of that I fear to even type. It is blasphemous. I do not believe any of it. It grieves me that so many people are buying into this. They are making God in their own image.<\/p>\n
But that is what is taking over our churches our young people. How do we, as Christ-followers counter that?<\/p>\n
By living a life of compassion and authenticity. Walk the walk.<\/p>\n
It’s Easter time. What a glorious truth is the Resurrection of Jesus. Defeating sin and death. Though Him we have new life and the hope of the resurrection and a home in Heaven. It will be glorious.<\/p>\n
The “progressives” can’t alter the fact of His bodily resurrection and the joy of new birth in the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
