Progressive Christians

[Helen]

Hello Amadeus
The jist of the progressive moment is that many things are relative. Example of this thinking is well that may be true for you but not for me . Like their is one way to God . Now progressive thinking
would say that that’s true for you but a good atheist will go to Heaven too. Or that yes the Bible is true for you , but you can’t expect it to apply to everyone.
Another thing that is important is feeling. Here is a example Trying to evangelize folks many times involves showing that person for the need for a Savior. Progressive will go out of their way not to criticize others and their actions.Thus diminishing the need of Christ in our lives .
All of the progressive is man centered. It’s concerned about feelings more than facts .
They forget it’s about God and not about us . It’s truly a very selfish and self serving. Sad and disappointing
Hope that helps .
Blessings

Thanks for the overview. :)

The Bible says layup are treasures in heaven, not on this earth.

It also says if we suffer injustice on this he will compensate us in heaven.

Too many Christians are only focused on this earth when you get to the bottom line.

do we love God because we might be rewarded?? is that Love...

We do it because JESUS told us to!!

It is the wise man who builds upon the Rock.
If we do not...there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth from many, when we see what we could have done...but did not...because they felt that doing it, was not true love!! And they were being more "humble".

Do you see what I am saying David? :)

Bless you....Helen

The jist of the progressive moment is that many things are relative.

So what you are saying correctly is that

Christian Progressivism = Delusional Relativism = Spiritual Nonsense

The answer is simple. They are not Christian.

They support LGBT, abortion, socialism and those kinds of things.

Such simplicity reigns I would guess in many people who want the blessings of God but refuse to give up the curses in order to receive them;

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Rev 3:15-16

I have charismatic friends, they were over a couple of months ago and his wife was explaining how they had studied in church about how we are to store up our treasures in heaven. She went on to explain how that they were building this grand earthly house and all their money was tied up in their credit card at Lowe’s and that was where their heart was. At Lowe’s, “because that’s where our treasure is “.

Sounds like WOF thinking.

Who indeed but God and His Son have the necessary facts? If we are truly yielded to Him, will not the necessary facts [Word] come to our lips to be spoken when God sees the need?
Give God the glory!

It’s amazing just how many different ways the flesh can manifest itself.

Why don't we all use the manners and grammar and language of the time when Jesus walked planet Earth then? Would that give us an advantage over anyone else? When was it the first man spoke English?

Or we could learn and speak aramaic which would be even more of an authentic 'religous' language.

Try getting off your soap box.

They keep insisting this is my best life now. I hope they’re wrong!

now we just need to figure out where heaven is huh. Oh, if only Jesus had left us a clue!
lol

We can show friendship to people indeed as a testimony, but from a strictly fellowship angle it's best to separate oneself from those who holds such aberrant ideas, where Scripture teaches differently.
