Recently, a progressive Christian meme made the rounds that stated 22 beliefs about God, Christians, the nature of heaven and hell, and the exclusivity of Christianity. I asked Mike Winger to join me to help us think through these statements and analyze them through a biblical lens.

The cross of Jesus is everything in so far as the Attonement. However one of Restoration with the involvement of God's wrath and punishment in the consequences of our actions. So much more I can say but it is not about debating. Sadly what we hear here is a result of centuries of protestant bias that has so indoctrinated our western minds that we read the Bible through that lens. Result the churches are bleeding vast numbers. Progressives are merely leaning on the H.S. as they read their scriptures. Independently I came to conclusions that have been validated by those who care about the reasons why so many have left their faith. No 1 let us stop worshipping the written word and rejoice in the LIVING WORD I.e. JESUS in us ( Galatians 1/16) to whom it points. Nos 2 let us get a better grip on the original Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with a more accurate cosmological understanding of those times. Nos 3 Let us dispense with so much arrogance of certainty after all who can can fully understand the infinite fullness of God. Nos 4 Let us continue to do what the Bereans did with Paul. Walk together with our all our findings in the Spirit of FAITH HOPE and most importantly LOVE😍God be with ALL and yes being God He will not fail and reconcile ALL of His creation to Himself.. when Christ has overcome ALL.

"Progressive" Christianity sort of boils down to one big lie, and that is: "Jesus din't condemn the Sinners he encountered, and therefore he didn't consider their actions to be Sin."

I'm pretty sure he meant sin against the law of the land (commit crime) for that event, not in general, as asking people not to sin in general would be a ridiculous ask considering how minor everyday things are sinful in Christianity. Just search idolatry and adultery in Blue Letter Bible to see how broad they are. Also being soft is a sin. Who the hell doesn't do that on a semi-regular basis? Also, from David getting to keep Bathsheba as a wife, even after it being clear he is forgiven, it is clear that sin only counts once per person and does not stack, which many Christians wrongly ignore when it suits their narrative. Be consistent people.

@@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana defend your claim that Jesus meant go and sin no more against the law of the land.. And in 1 John 3:9 it says those who are the Children of God cannot practice sin Romans 6 says not to let sin reign. We are told to die to self and to the flesh and live in the spirit and for Christ to live in us. God says in Phillipians 2:13 that He works in us both to will and to DO of His good pleasure. "Being soft is a sin" what is 'being soft' and please provide a verse that says it is a sin. And David was forgiven after acknowledging His sin and after that He still repented in the psalms and was of a contrite heart. But he lost His baby and God spoke of his punishment for this sin in 2 Samuel 12:10-12. "And expound on what you mean by " sin counts once and does not stack" And what is stacking and what do Christians teach about this.

@@khaderlander2429 I know little about what the Qur'an says about Jesus, but I'd like to strongly encourage you to learn more about what the Bible says about Jesus. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and it's absolutely crucial to recognize that. He died for our sins, and was raised to life by the Father. Only by repenting of our sins, and acknowledging Jesus as our savior, can we be reconciled unto The Father. I say this out of love, and a desire that you will be able to forge a relationship with The Father, through Jesus Christ. I highly, highly recommend that you read any of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John). Those are great places to start (or continue) your Bible journey. Here's a verse from John to get you started. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life. God Bless you, I'm praying for you!

@@semperreformanda6100 Mark 10:17-22 As Jesus was going along the road, a man came running to him and threw himself at his feet and asked him, ‘Good teacher, what am I to do to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? There is no one who is good, except one - God. You know the commandments. You must not kill, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not bear false witness, you must not defraud anyone, you must honour your father and mother.’ He said to him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.’ When Jesus looked at him he loved him, and he said to him, ‘You still lack one thing. Go, sell all that you have, and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. And come! Follow me!’ But he was grieved at this saying, and he went away in sadness, for he had many possessions. HERE is one of the most vivid stories in the gospels. (1) We must note how the man came and how Jesus met him. He came running. He flung himself at Jesus’ feet. There is something amazing in the sight of this rich, young aristocrat falling at the feet of the penniless prophet from Nazareth, who was on the way to being an outlaw. ‘Good teacher!’ he began. And straightaway Jesus answered back, ‘No flattery! Don’t call me good! Keep that word for God!’ It looks almost as if Jesus was trying to pour cold water on that young enthusiasm. There is a lesson here. It is clear that this man came to Jesus in a moment of overflowing emotion. It is also clear that Jesus exercised a personal fascination over him. Jesus did two things that every evangelist and every preacher and every teacher ought to remember and to copy. First, he said in effect, ‘Stop and think! Don’t get carried away by your excitement. I don’t want you swept to me by a moment of emotion. Think calmly what you are doing.’ Jesus was not coldshouldering the man. He was telling him even at the very outset to count the cost. Second, he said in effect, ‘You cannot become a Christian by devotion to me. You must look at God.’ Preaching and teaching always mean the conveying of truth through personality, and thereby lies the greatest danger of the greatest teachers. The danger is that the pupil, the scholar, the young person may form a personal attachment to the teacher or the preacher and think that it is an attachment to God. Teachers and preachers must never point to themselves. They must always point to God. There is in all true teaching a certain self-obliteration. True, we cannot keep personality and warm personal loyalty out of it altogether, and we would not if we could. But the matter must not stop there. Teachers and preachers are in the last analysis only pointers to God. Excerpt from: "New Daily Study Bible: The Gospel of Mark" by William Barclay. Scribd.

All these seem to say, in a relatively disingenuous way, is that "all the things the Bible calls sin (especially sexual immorality) are fine and God would never actually punish you for them. The only real sin is calling things the Bible says are sin 'sin'." It brings to mind that CS Lewis quote from The Problem of Pain that what we really want is a "grandfather in heaven" a "senile benevolent" who just wants us all to be happy and to have fun instead of holding us accountable to a standard of maturity and holiness.

@@mads597 That's a good series of questions, but they ignore all the other EVIDIENCE. Sin is sinful, not because God arbitrarily and capriciously creates a series of rules, like some DM cherry picking rules from various editions of Dungeons and Dragons and various other Role Playing sourcebooks, because she likes this combat system and that magic system. Sin is sinful because sin hurts people and because it violates people, because when we act _selfishly_ we treat other people like things who exist for our pleasure instead of people. Stealing hurts the person you steal from. Lying hurts the person you are lying about and it also hurts the person you are lying to. Sex is fundamentally _human reproductive behavior._ When we pursue sex merely for pleasure we hurt the people we use to get that pleasure. Uniquely of all the sins, if Paul is to be believed, we even victimize ourselves. Part of this is because the pleasurable side of sex is there to help us bond with our life-mate. We can see this simply by looking around. Promiscuous sexual behavior spreads a wide variety of diseases that spread virtually no other way. Many of these diseases are chronic, creating lasting, life-long health problems. Some are even fatal. It's almost as if God built in warning signs into creation to warn us to NOT DO IT. Promiscuous sexual behavior also causes a significant number of psychological problems (or proceeds out of them): increased problems of depression, anxiety, and guilt. Objectifying others, objectifying ones self. It makes it harder to form long-term relationships (because one is tempted to bring sexuality into non-sexual friendships and because sex looses it's power to bond two people together when you've bonded sexually with all sorts of other people - and then bail on them when it's not "fun" anymore). And sociologically we see a wide variety of negative impacts because promiscuity makes it harder for people to marry and because it leaves behind children who do not have a stable, two-parent family to grow up in. Science and personal experience tell us they wide variety of consequences _that_ has from increased rates of depression and drug use, to increased dropout rates, to increased crime rates, increased abuse rates, increased rates of the children growing up themselves to pursue unhealthy sexual relationships. So, no, I don't fear that I've been conned into living up to some arbitrary standard of "holiness" fed to me by "false leaders" just to feel part of a club, and to give me permission to judge others or because I fear some imagined hell. Sin has consequences, not just in some afterlife, but here on earth. We recognize it enough that we've enshrined "rest one day a week", "don't murder", "don't steal", and "don't bear false witness" into our own laws. We see how terrible nations and people who worship themselves or some false ideal rather than God (whether it's money, power, fame or whatever) become. We've seen how abominable it is when people do evil and say it's in God's name (that what that whole "taking God's name in vain" commandment means) are. It does mean that I take sin seriously and recognize the hurt and evil that goes with it. It means I understand why God hates it so much.

Correction: with pregnancy complications, it's not that you're killing one to save the other, it's that you are saving one and failing, due to inadequate medical technology, to save the other. The difference is that the latter isn't actively killing the one, which would be murder, which is a philosophically important distinction. Note: I believe this is Mike's view and that he simply misstated it in the moment, which is something we all do. I only posted this to clarify for any one who runs across this so that they have a more accurate understanding of what was probably meant as there are many people who would simply point to what he said and say that Mike Winger said it's ok to kill babies when he isn't saying that at all.

Take God as the "Father" more often. Your analogy of the child and the parent could probably answer most of these. Fathers punish their children, not for lack of love but because of love. For instance, a father would reprimand or punish a child for going into a street. Not because he is about anger and wrath, but because he doesn't want a car to come and take that child away. So many parallels of God's love and a love of a parent would answer these swiftly. Like these people don't know what a parent is supposed to do. 😥

@bjornegan6421 3 жыл бұрын

while i am not disagreeing, i want to emphasize that the motivation behind ourselves punishing our own children out of love for their wellbeing is not the only thing. when you tell your kid to do something and it has nothing to do with their wellbeing, and they don't do it, do you not become angry? why? is it because they are at risk? no, it is because they defied you and you are their parent. so you punish them because it is wrong for them to do that. we need to make sure we don't overlook things or make light of things. is sin harmful to us? absolutely. but it is also an absolutely evil act against God that deserves His wrath.

@@nemiza8288 All human activity has been corrupted, not just sexual attractions. When Jesus walked among us, he showed us exactly that, and provided a way out. He was the light who gave us truth and grace. The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. The problem for all humans is wrapped up in one word: sin. 'Sin' literally means 'to fall short of the mark'. The mark we fall short of is the original "image of God" that we were intended to be. Sin means that all of us are broken, each in his or her own ways. Jesus came to give people a new life in which they could be conformed to that true image of what it means to be a human being. He came to set the captives free. That includes saying good-by to all types of overpowering passions such as angry violence and sexual immorality. Those passions are just as addicting as alcohol or drugs. That is the cost of being a follower of Jesus, and also the benefit he gives us by his grace. It is up to each of us to choose.

These videos are to keep people from falling into traps and teachings that are against God and to bring people to knowledge of the true God of the bible and of the gospel.

From the moment of conception you have a human with unique DNA that if allowed to develop will become a living baby under most circumstances. If the fertilization is unviable in most circumstances the pregnancy will terminate itself very early, even before the mother knows she's pregnant many times.

@@nikkialkema1032 Let me just point out a couple of things. You speak of rape, but yet you lower humans to the level of animals and plants. How is it that you can find rape immoral if I should be a "hardcore vegan" because killing animals is basically the same as killing humans? And how is it that rape is immoral if a baby at conception is 'nothing more than a plant'? I can't see from your own logic how you could find genocide, rape, starvation, or any of these things immoral. Do animals care for other animals that are starving? Does it even cross their mind? Do animals care if their mates are willing participants? It might make things easier, but they certainly don't care if they can accomplish their goal. If you don't see the sanctity of human life then I don't see how you could be outraged about any of these other things. There are plenty of mothers that have children born out of rape that would tell you they are glad they did not terminate, I think the majority that kept their babies would tell you that. Why? Because the human being that is born is not the human being that did them wrong. They see the innocent baby, they raise them, they see that those children love them and they find satisfaction even in the pain. Why because they value that human being, even under the circumstances to which they were brought into the world. Human life is precious and if you can't see that, then you are not going to see anything except through the lens of self fulfilment. The Bible tells us that all humans are made in the image of God and have intrinsic worth, if that's not true, then your morality and moral arguments have no basis.

Rape is immoral because you have sex with someone who doesn't want to not because of the child.

The bible tells us that humans are made in the immage of God you say, but the bible also says that those humans got kicked out of paradise for a reason. And my point with the plants was just that they don't feel and neither does the abborted "baby" because they're not a human jet, and killing one of them is as immoral as killing a plant. Besides you say that I level humans down to animals jet humans tigers and some kinds of snakes are the only species who kill eachother so how great are humans really, I am not bringing humans down I am telling the truth, there is no need for more humans on this planet.

I'm not interested in having a long debate about whether Jesus is God. I've had way too many similar debates and I don't wanna spend too much commenting on a specific KZbin debate. Regardless, I'll just briefly debunk your argument: Jesus came to earth in a human body as a servant of God. He "had a God" through his human body and his role as a servant of God. It's very simple. It doesn't mean He isn't God. Also, since I've seen you using another argument in other threads, I'm going to debunk that other argument: How did Jesus die if He's God? Simple. His human body died, not His divinity.

I just found your channel and love it. I saw the interview with Cooper and subscribed to both channels. My spirit fiercely repels from false prophets. Beth Moore was the first that was an immediate check in my Spirit. Joyce Meyer shares some things to which I can agree - but goes outside of scripture so much now I barely recognize the woman I watched years ago. The watered-down Christianity burgeoning in our society has led young Christians down the wrong path and turned even some of the most staunch believers to be apathetic or too frightened of offending others to stand firm in the Lord. Your podcasts are so important for all Christians who hunger for truth in God. Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for having these discussions and bringing clarity to those who are being led astray by false teachers/teachings. Being a part of the younger generation it’s scary to see these gradual changes within the church and it happens so subtly that most people don’t catch it and start to accept things that Jesus does not want for us. Again, thank you!

They have plenty of videos where they share their experiences. But we often get caught up in our personal experiences/our testimonies and other people's testimonies...which can make individual experiences the main focus, rather than the truth and light of the Gospel. If that makes sense? I had to learn this...I was very obsessed with testimonies (which I love and are important!) but knowing the Gospel is the most important. If you don't know what the Gospel says, it's easy to be swayed by the whims of culture...I've definitely been there...and it wasn't a good path. God bless and Love to you!

@@autumnbenson2450 Not testimony videos I don’t have one of those. Testify during their topics, one can always share without creating a whole video.

The cursing issue isn't just discussed in progressive circles. I know I have had people ask me who determines what words are vulgar and which aren't, and often the answer is society. Christians do have a habit of deciding since an action can lead some people to sin, therefore it must be totally bad, therefore we will call it sin. It's why the topic of alcohol has been debated forever. A thing cannot be a sin, but it can be used to sin. Knives are used to murder, so should they be then call using a knife a sin? No. Using words in context is not wrong, however, we have to ask ourselves why we want to use them and and if how we are using it is really necessary. On the first page of the first chapter of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, when talking about people's standards, he said that rarely does a person reply, 'To hell with your standard.' Now, I was always taught that you shouldn't do that, yet he did, in a book recommended by thousands of ministers. Paul said all things are lawful, but not all are beneficial; if you know certain things will turn some people off and prevent you from being about to minister to certain people, maybe you should think about if it is worth it or not. When we give our lives to God, it is no longer about our wants and desires, but His.
