What is Progressive Christianity?

  • Progressive Christianity is a false, heretical and dangerous movement within Christendom today. Many Progressives deny the essential doctrines of the Christian faith including the deity of Christ, penal substitutionary atonement and the bodily resurrection. In this introductory video on Progressive Christianity, I provide a cursory look at the movement.

    Basically, progressive Christianity is based on emotion, not doctrine. If a progressive Christian finds a certain doctrinal teaching to be emotionally appealing, they’ll believe it, but if they don’t, they’ll discard it.

      @@lovehandles2464 Not sure what Evangelical Church you've been too but that statement can't be generalized. All Churches should fear the Lord, that's correct. You are to come to him with Fear and Trembling. Not the Fear that you think, It's more of a respect, an awe, a submission to him. An understanding that he is the Almighty God, Holy, Powerful, and none is like him. You cannot come to him as you would come to an ordinary human.

      @@jennywidner4889 that is true, because no human or animal or other things of this world is as perfect as Jesus. that is why it says in the bible that God needed Jesus to die for our sins so that His righteousness and holiness can be transferred to us (which is needed in heaven). But please do not worry because even though Jesus did pray to 'take this cup away from me' (meaning He did get sad of the fact that He was gonna die), Jesus also said 'but not my will but yours be done' (meaning He wants what God wants too). so don't forget, Jesus loves the Father and has compassion for the lost souls (the people) that is why He was willing to die for us all so that anyone who is also willing to believe and trust in Him, will be saved from the pains of hell. Otherwise if Jesus didn't love us that much, then He would have easily said no to death and ran away with His own life to somewhere far. But the truth is, He didn't. so uhh, I'm not that good at explaining but i hope this helps you or anyone understand ! 😊 have a nice day !!

      So progressive christians scares you but you didn't get scared when people who claim Christ stopped following Christ and sold out to trump? It didn't scare you when trump looked up towards heaven and said I am the chosen one, I am the savior of Israel? hmmmm Something's wrong with that picture! What other people believe and the way others worship have NOTHING to do with you! It doesn't affect you in the slightest! There are over 20,000 different christian denominations in the world and guess what? THEY ALL BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY!!!!! They all think they are the only ones who have the truth and everyone else is wrong and going to Hell. How disgusting! I think you people need to read 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Study to be quiet and mind your own business. This is NOT a theocracy and it is none of any of your business what others think or believe! Jesus taught us to love all of our neighbors. He taught forgiveness, grace, mercy, empathy, understanding, charity, compassion, and not to judge others! That's not what fundamentalist nor evangelicals teach! They teach fear, Hate, judgement, condemnation and exclusion!!!!! They teach that this wrathful God is just waiting at any given second to smite you with a big ol baseball bat if you screw up and cast you into Hell to burn forever! The Bible says Gods grace and mercy endures forever! How long is forever? Until you screw up? And if you have to have the threat of Hell to be a good person and to stay inline then YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON! When I asked why are you a Christian to people they almost always answer because I don't want to die and go to hell. Wow! That is a horrible reason! The answer should be because they believe in the message of Jesus Christ!which teaches to love everyone, to help everyone in need, feed people, cloth them, house them, make sure people can get their medications and have what they need, but not we cant do they because now they say its socialism! It should be because they love Christ. But it is not! It is now if you don't look like, think like, believe like or if there are any differences that differ from yours then they are excluded and are a heretic! And btw, evangelicals and fundamentalist are running people away! Now those preachers are saying they are trying to get away from God, NO THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! Just look at all the religious abuse and trauma! also look at the things they teach in churches that were NEVER taught in the church prior to the mid 1700's and 1800's which started here in the United States! Look at the damage that has been done to others? Do these people care? No! They only care about themselves and what they think and believe! They are not concerned with the horrible things that have been done in the name of God that have harmed millions! So as a progressive pastor of over 35 years of active ministry and someone who has an earned DTH and who actually does what Jesus said to do like feed the hungry, take care of people who need caring for. Our church helps people keep their utilities on, buy food, medications, buys new clothes for those in need, etc. What do these evangelicals do? I'll tell you: hate, judge, fear monger, make up lies and conspiracy theories, divide people by making people angry telling people everyone who is not a republican is evil and they hate God and want to destroy you! Do you hear Jesus in any of that? All you hear is don't wear a mask, don't take the vaccine God will protect you but lets get us a gun! So if God will protect you from Covid then why do you need a gun? Then you have those who say it's hoax and kick people out of church for wearing a mask! I do not remotely see Jesus in any of that! The evangelical and fundamentalist movement is nothing more that a dangerous cult! The progressives are actually interested in helping people! What do the republican evangelicals/fundamentalist want to do? take everything away they can. Tell me what exactly are they for because we know what they are against! Look at the constant attacks coming from them! Look at how nasty and hateful they act! And that doesn't scare you???? It should! And don't even say well the other side is doing so and so. Now we are not! We are however holding people accountable and fighting back! Lastly, it is you people who need to repent, which means to have a change of mind and you need to have a come to Jesus meeting for yourself with the real Jesus because the one evangelicals and fundamentalist are following is not the real one! Real christians don't do the horrible things they have done and they don't make a deal with the devil to get the things they want like they did with trump! Trump told them in a meeting I will give you anything you want as long as you do what I say and pledge allegiance to me! He told them you keep the people angry! Sir the people up so they will fight for him! And if you ever cross me he said I will destroy you. One of my ministers said they sold Jesus out and made a deal with the devil. My rely was this: There is a scripture in the Bible that says we are like sheep and the sheep knows the voice of the shepherd, another voice they will NOT follow! Well we saw what happened and that leads me to another scripture that says Lord we did all of this in your name and he said DEPART FROM ME YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY, I NEVER KNEW YOU! So they never knew the real Jesus and IF they did they left Jesus to follow another! I hope you people know these people have been lying to you ABOUT EVERYTHING! Please wake up before it's too late.

Write your own book, find your own Savior and pray/hope that you're right. For me, I'll stick with what's proven true and right for the last 6,000 years.

    So, the 10 Commandments according to Progressive Christianity:

    2. You shall have no other gods before me unless they make you feel good about yourself.
    3. You shall not take the name of thy Lord in vain unless you are really angry, upset, surprised or just stubbed your toe.
    4. Keep the Sabbath day locked in a closet because you've got much more important things to do today!
    5. Honor yourself; mom and dad don't really count.
    6. You shall not murder a good time or someone else's happy emotions!
    7. You shall not commit adultery unless you had your fingers crossed at your wedding.
    8. You shall not steal unless you want it really bad but don't have the money to pay for it.
    9. You shall not lie, but fibbing is permitted!
    10. You shall not covet unless they've got something better than what you have.

If it means a brand of Christianity that compromises the Gospel (that salvation is a doing of God’s sovereignty alone, that we are saved only through what Christ has done, through no meritorious works or dogma), or if it is a brand that claims the Bible is allegorical in scope, gender roles are objective, abortion can be justified, or re-envision what marriage is, or that Christians are to be social justice warriors, then that is not the Bible nor the Gospel. There are several individuals associated with the Gospel Coalition that have compromised much of what biblical Christianity/good theology is; i.e the “social justice “ of Matt Chandler, the pacifism of John Piper, the acceptance of evolution by Tim Keller. I don’t claim to know with certain anyone’s heart, but I do ask that people use the spiritual gift of discernment.

    “Why are progressives so afraid of answers?” - I believe it is because the evangelical Christian church has not acted in the ways of Christ. These answers are causing pain. Progressive Christian LGBT folk that grew up evangelical initially feel devastated because they still want a relationship with God, but feel extremely unwelcome by the evangelical church and were in a pickle. Numerous instances of parents disowning their kids, calling them slurs and condemning them to hell. Unfortunately this happened to a friend of mine. We can’t deny that this is happening. The fear that is instilled into someone during this moment is blatantly not of God, and absolutely not something Christ would do. Pushing somebody else away from God through fear tactics is one of the ultimate sins. If you push them away, who will bring them back?
    I don’t believe progressive Christianity is a clever loophole for believers to live in sin, but rather is the result of pain, discovering it’s source, all while praying and building a deeper connection to God. Its not just a conclusion you come to after befriending a gay person or reading a book. It’s a long journey. Many people in this comment section are not acknowledging the pain that has been caused by the church and just believe that progressive Christian’s are deliberately choosing to live in sin. I really encourage you all to understand one another. Although I expect to be be disagreed with, let’s encourage each other to act and speak to others with love and not fear, as Christ would ❤️

    The more counterfeits there are, the more we all should focus more on the reading, meditating and learning The Word. If you had a job responsible for identifying counterfeit money, should you spend your time studying everything there is to know about counterfeit currency; or should you spend your time learning everything about authentic currency? I play golf often; and meet an array of people. I often share the word with folks I meet. The varying questions becomes daunting at times; and forces me to always look towards The Word for answers. Do this, and you will never truly struggle to see and, answer the false teachings. I love this channel and you all!

These changes are couched around inclusiveness and social justice. I am also interested to see where it now goes with regards to other areas of key biblical doctrine. I can only assume it’s on a very slippy slope as it had used a subjective interpretive framework as you set out.

    Why are they interested in Christianity at all? Would it be similar to why the New Age honors Jesus as the highest holy man, of all religions, but refuses to obey him? Realising how radical and rare we believers are is very humbling, isn't it? A dear old lady at my Presbyterian church yesterday told me that those in other religions have the same God as us, they just call him by a different name. That's pretty "progressive." Big wake up call that the mission field is even hiding in our churches that have expositional teaching.
    That Evolution statement is very interesting. Obviously, it's not a salvation matter, but it makes sense that if you start with the inability to acknowledge God created instantly, the way the Bible says, you'll have trouble acknowledging God's Word is superior in other areas. :-(

    Perhaps the reason all the leading progressive scholars used to be evangelical is because they have personally seen just how damaging and horrendous evangelicalism and sola scriptura is. Oh no, that can't be it. It must just be that they care more about their feelings and justifying their agendas. It couldn't possibly be that evangelicalism has quite literally led to a ridiculous amount of mental illness and harm.
