Also said by Augustine - "Woman does not possess the image of God in herself but only when taken together with the male who is her head, so that the whole substance is one image. But when she is assigned the role as helpmate, a function that pertains to her alone, then she is not the image of God. But as far as the man is concerned, he is by himself alone the image of God just as fully and completely as when he and the woman are joined together into one."

You clearly don’t know anything about Roman history. Christians were a threat, not because they were loving, which they were, but because they posed an opposition to the state. They said that their followers shouldn’t follow the roman state or Roman gods, but instead only Jesus. You’d be surprised how little it takes for someone to kill another. All they need is one “they’re different,” before an inquisition starts.

Dangerous praying to Fake Name JESUS! As a matter of fact, the name ‘Jesus’ did not even exist in the English language 400 years ago-as evidenced by the fact that it was not recorded in the original 1611 King James Bible. But let's dissect that name anyway as that has come to be the accepted name of the Messiah today we need to address it. If the first part of the name 'Ιη' (Ie) comes from 'Iehovah' following the Jewish superstition not to use Yahuah thereby using Elohim in the vowel points resulting in ignorance of the name Jehovah. The Century Bible, Volume 1, pages 90-91 Sometime after the return from the Captivity, and before the beginning of the Christian Era, the Yahdaim (Jews) came to believe that the Holy Name Yahuah was too sacred to be uttered on ordinary occasions. It was said to be pronounced by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement. At other times, when any one read or quoted aloud from what is called the Old Testament, the word "Adonay","Lord," was usually substituted for Yahuah, and similarly the LXX (Septuagint Version) has Kurios, the Vulgate dominus, and the e.v. lord, where the Hebrew has Yahuah. Hebrew was originally written without vowels, but when the "vowel points" were added, the vowels of "Adonay" or "Elohim" were written with Yahuah, as a direction that these words were to be read instead of the word whose consonants were Yahuah; thus we find the combinations YeHoWaH and YeHoWiH. At the Reformation, the former being the more usual, was sometimes used as the Name of the (Mighty One) of Israyl, and owing to ignorance of its history was misread as "Jehovah," a form which has established itself in English, but does not give the pronunciation of the Holy Name it represents. Therefore the prefix of the name Je or (Ie) is in error. But does the suffix 'σους' (sous) mean 'saves' or 'salvation' in the Greek of the New Testament period? No. We know for a fact that "Iesous" was not then the proper way to translate the "intent" of the name given the Messiah that ‘Yahuah is salvation’ even in Greek or Latin. The Greek word for "salvation" is Strong’s entry 4991 soterion it is not sous. Strong's Number: 4992 soterion, adjective. Meaning saving, bringing salvation he who embodies this salvation, or through whom God is about to achieve it in the hope of (future) salvation So if the translators were even true to their own language it would not have been translated "Jesus" or "Iesous" but rather "Iasoterion". It must be obvious by this point where the suffix "seous" came from. Jesus holds to the Greek tradition of naming people after their pagan god of the Pantheon… Zeus. Why did the translator use "sous" instead of "soteria"? Greek naming conventions give glory to Zeus It should be noted at this point that the Greeks had a similar naming convention as did the Hebrews. Where the Hebrews used “YAH” in the construction of their names giving glory to Yahuah, the Greeks ended names and cities using “sous/sus/us” after their own god Zeus. Take for example the name of Julius Caesar “Gaius Julius” or the name of the Roman Emperor Constantine who literally created Christianity “Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus”. The suffix “us” was added to Greek and Roman names to give glory to Zeus where Yah was added to Hebrew names to give glory to Yahuah. Jesus is just such a Greek name like all Greek names ending in "us" that gives glory to Zeus! Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend “It is known that the Greek name endings with sus, seus, and sous were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as means to give honor to their supreme deity, Zeus." "This name of the true Messiah, Yahusha, being Hebrew, was objectionable to the Greeks and Romans, who hated the Judeans (Jews), and so it was deleted from the records, and a new name inserted. Yahusha was thus replaced by Ie-Sous (hail Zeus), now known to us as Jesus." Iesous in Greek So Yahusha is English for the Hebrew name of the Messiah (anointed King of Israel) and Jesus is the name of the Greek “savior” or Christos. It is that simple. But what does “Iesous” mean in Greek. It has no meaning in Hebrew; as it is not a Hebrew word. In Greek, “Iesous” literally translated means “Hail Zeus”. The name “Jesus” didn’t even exist until the 4th Century and was a later derivative of the late Latin Esus (pagan female god of salvation which later became Hesus or Hail Zeus then when the "I" grew a tail and became "J" it was Jesus. The Origin of Christianity by A.B. Traina "It is simply amazing to think that all these years, hundreds of years, mankind has been calling the Saviour by the wrong name!! It's hard to give up the name of Jesus because it's so deeply ingrained in us and much has been said and done in that name." Gospel of The Kingdom True Names and Title Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley 1931 - Ohio USA "In the 1611 KJ New Testament the name Yahusha appeared originally wherever the Messiah was spoken of. Yahusha means “Yahuah is Salvation”. Later the Messiah's name was replaced with Iesus (Greek) which later in the 1600's it became Jesus starting with the new English letter "J" which was introduced at that time. Further, the Greek "Iesus" comes from the name Zeus, the ruling God in the Greek pantheon." Gospel of The Kingdom True Names and Title Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley 1931 - Ohio USA 80 We see in historical documents that the name “Jesus” did not even come into existence until the 1600’s when the letter “J” was introduced into our English language. So the name “Jesus” is only around 400 years old! The Greek "Iesus" comes from the name Zeus, the ruling God in the Greek pantheon. "Jesus” is a transliteration of a Latin name only ONE letter off “Ioesus” pronounced hey-sus - which has no meaning in Hebrew, but in Latin it means “Hail Zeus”. If Yahusha’s name had been transliterated into our language, it would have been Joshua. If the name was treated properly using the compound naming convention Yahuah intended it would be YAH(weh)SHUA shortened to “Yahusha” using the short contracted form maintaining the meaning of the name and fulfilling prophecy that the Messiah “came in the NAME of Yahuah”. If the name was handled properly in Greek by the uninspired pagan scribes, it would hold true to the “meaning” of the name as given by the Angel to Joseph and Mary; then “shua” or salvation would have been translated “soterion or soter” not “sous”. So we see a gross mis-handling of the Messiah’s name at best but when you look back in history we see a Hellinization of the name with the intent to give glory to the pagan god Zeus. So both the prefix of "Ie" and the suffix of "sous" are in error and are mistranslations of the Hebrew name Yah and shua. If the Greek translators handled the Hebrew name properly it would have been translated into Iasotera which would be Yah-savior in Greek. In the 21st century we have no need to trace the Messiah's name through pagan Rome. We, today, can simply translate it directly from Hebrew to English leaving out all the transliteration errors going from Latin/Greek and all the English variations. That name is Yahusha… directly from יהושע Luke 13 35 “Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahuah.’"

But what happens a few year from now if you find yourself again in these patterns or come to some higher level of understanding or finding you had “wrong theology”.

The Word of God proclaims, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In the church, God assigns different roles to men and women. This is a result of the way mankind was created and the way in which sin entered the world (1 Timothy 2:13-14). God, through the apostle Paul, restricts women from serving in roles of teaching and/or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors over men, which definitely includes preaching to them, teaching them publicly, and exercising spiritual authority over them.

From my perspective, fundamentalists and evangelicals share a common problem. It is easy enough for a person to say he takes the Bible “literally”. But every person I have ever met who claimed to take the Bible literally has simply agreed with what he was taught about which parts of the Bible are to be taken literally and which parts are not. Such people manage to place enough emphasis on the parts they take literally that they manage (or at least seem to manage) to ignore the parts they don’t take literally. In the sixteenth century, the puritans took such Bible texts as Galatians 3:29 literally. "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (See also Matt. 3:9, Rom. 9:6-8, Rom. 11, Gal. 3:7 & 9, Eph. 2:11-19) The puritans who aspired to build a puritan society in North America thought of themselves as Israelites and thought of North America (or at least their own colonies in North America) as the new Israel. They also applied the phrase “new Jerusalem” to their concept of an ideal society in North American, apparently not taking literally the description in Revelation 21:2 “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” In their quest to rid themselves of the doctrines of the Roman Church, the New England puritans were diligent to take the instructions of Exodus 16:23 literally “...To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.” The New England puritans did no baking and no cooking on Sunday, having prepared their sabbath meals beforehand. Apparently they did not take literally the instruction in Exodus 20:8-11 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” The instruction about preparing meals before the sabbath day was in the context of the giving of the manna (Ex. 16) so there could hardly have been any question about which day of the week there was a double portion of manna or on which day the Lord rested, i.e. the day of the week when no manna appeared. In the nineteenth century, the law of the conservation of matter (aka the conservation of mass) was taught as a “scientific principle”. In an attempt to reconcile the creation account in Genesis with the law of the conservation of matter, Joseph Smith Jr. taught that the God of Genesis “created” things on Earth but only in the sense of rearranging existing matter. In a manner reminiscent of the theology of the puritans, Smith taught that believers (i.e. his followers) constituted modern Israel but made a distinction between them and “the Jews”. As I understand their teaching, LdS (Mormons) in the twenty-first century teach that the modern political nation in the Middle East should more properly be called Judea (because it is populated primarily by the “Jewish” descendants of the southern of the kingdoms that split after the reign of Solomon). It was also in the nineteenth century that John Nelson Darby developed a way to deny the “literalism” of the puritans with regard to the identity of Israel. While not explicitly denying that the church is “spiritual” Israel, Darby developed the doctrine that the promises to Israel and the prophecies about Israel should be understood as applying to “literal” Israel, i.e. the “literal” descendants of the patriarch, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. Beginning in the middle of the twentieth century, fiat creationists could point to Colossians 1:12-17 as evidence that matter and energy are interchangeable and that, if the God of Genesis 1 was the source of unlimited power (energy), he could literally create matter by converting that energy into matter. “Giving thanks unto the Father...Who hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:...For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” In the twenty-first century, I think most people in the United States tend to understand the word “fundamentalist” and “fundamentalism” as relating more to enthusiasm for a particular interpretation of the Bible or the Qur’an than to the “literalism” that may have been part of the early development of such an interpretation. When that kind of religious enthusiasm is combined with enthusiasm for a particular political doctrine, it produces something about which many people can get excited - an us-vs-them mentality. Maybe, instead of trying to divide Christianity into opposing camps of “conservative Christianity” and “progressive Christianity” (or denying that progressives are ‘“really” Christians), we should consider a third approach to this subject. To the conservatives of the sixteenth century, Luther’s doctrines were heretical because they were progressive. To the English of the eighteenth century, the Wesley brothers doctrines were heretical because they were progressive. Maybe, instead of insisting that a particular Bible interpretation is “historical”, we should encourage people to study the history of the Christian church so each can decide for himself when a particular emphasis originated and the context of such origins. Example: Dispensationalist/futurist eschatology is popular among Christians who think of themselves as conservative. They think it is THE historical method of Bible interpretation. In fact, not only did that interpretation of Bible prophecy not exist before the nineteenth century and was not widely taught before the twentieth century, it is in some ways antithetical to both the methods and eschatology of practically all protestants of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Be careful. If you appeal to what you consider to be historical Christian doctrine, you may find that you have painted yourself into a corner.

The few distant relatives I do have include one who died fighting to end slavery, and another worked in the underground railroad to save escaped slaves. None of my relatives owned slaves.

How does this represent the Jesus who opened salvation to all people of all races by dying to save them? The Jesus who said of the very people KILLING him, “Forgive them, for they no not what they do”? Where is forgiveness in your heart? You are allowing your pain to take you down a self-destructive road. Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.” Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Holding to unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It only hurts you. It does not free you, does not bring healing, and will never lead you to becoming more like Jesus.

If I had not come into Christianity through Reformed theology I would gone over to the Progressive camp myself. Today I see so many people drawn to it, because it speaks to their sense of social and economic justice, as witness Pope Francis and his encyclical Amoris Laetitia, which contains many good things. (Watch Bishop Robert Barron speaking on Amoris Laetitia on KZbin.) I came to faith through teachers like Francis Schaeffer, Os Guinness, R.C. Sproul, A.D. Carson, John MacArthur, John Piper, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Gresham Machen, B.B. Warfield. So the Progressive heresies made no impact on me, though there are many with these views on the Patheos website. Give me Young, Restless and Reformed any time. Thanks for your vlog, Alisa. I understand that Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton attended a Progressive church, and that says much about them.

It seems more reasonable that I should just go on with my life not feeling it necessary to let thoughts of a god or of this Jesus to weigh on me.

@Eevee * many of the message of the prophets were about changes to make society more just, James decries the exploration of the poor by the rich and the year of Jubilee acted to stop inequalities building up generation after generation like.they can do in capitalist societies. Liberals/progressives often make the mistake of focusing on social justice and forgetting the need of personal salvation and the problem of personal sin, some evangelicals make the opposite mistake and limit the gospel to the personal and individual - say a prayer to go to heaven and avoid sexual sin and that's all God cares about without realising the larger systemic injustices that also lead to people being exploited, held back from their God given potential and life. Hiring a social justice pastor might suggest a church that is forgetting the personal dimension of faith, or it could signify a church that is already strong on this waking up to other dimensions of God's calling on his people.

Tku Alisa, you just clarified my concerns about what is happening in my church. It's like you were there with me. I'll share a little of my experience in the hope it might help someone else experiencing the take over in their church. Keep up your good work Alisa. When i questioned or suggested something was not scriptural I was told I don't understand how to interpret the Bible, or I'm not understanding the word for today. I knew things weren't right I just didn't know or understand what was going on. How could Priests in the Anglican Church be changing the meaning of scripture. I shut my mouth for years until I withdrew 18mths ago. There was also a growing support for gay marriage emerging and although the official position of the Diocese was that the Church didn't conduct gay marriages I saw the Priest openly Bless a gay couples civil marriage at the communion alter. I was told they were made by God as they were and loved by God as they were. When I suggested that we could say that about any number of groups who practice sins of the flesh, from adultery to phaedophiles and where is the line drawn once we start changing God's objective moral laws, it's a slippery slide, there was a defensive brick wall put up, end of conversation. I was not one of them, I was a narrow minded Christian. Bottom line, I came to think they would do anything to get their dwindling numbers up, to get money in. Sad to me. I believe Church is for every broken sinner, like me, I just didn't think a Priest would betray the Word. I remember a Priest telling the kids about one of the miracles Jesus performed and he was dressed up as a magician, and actually used the word 'magic', it was later dismissed as "his meaning was misinterpreted'. They have tried to get me to go back but I'm really struggling as I know it's not right, I now have a name for it "Progressive Christianity" and it is not right for me. I thought I should go back at one point to stand up and defend the Word but I knew it would cause conflict with the Rector and Priest and I didn't want to cause trouble, I love them all, I just don't agree with their theology. I pray for them. I also pray for our Lord to give me the Wisdom and discernment to know when something in His name is not right. 🙏✝️💟

I've recently become aware of Alisa Childers, who is making a career of warning people about the dangers of "Progressive Christianity." I will assume the best of her, that she genuinely believes that progressive Christianity is a danger and she has a moral responsibility to steer people away. However, she is bearing false witness against her fellow believers. From what I've seen of her work, she 1) appears to be deeply unaware of the field historical theology; 2) mis-defines "historic, orthodox Christianity" solely around American, evangelical theology, not engaging with other traditions; and 3) leans far too much on fear-mongering to make her point. This ultimately leads to her dramatically misrepresenting others' views. Her some off-the-cuff responses to her 5 supposed danger signs. 1. **Alternative View of Scripture.** While it's true that a few progressive churches altogether abandon an authoritative view of the Bible, this is not typically a defining characteristic. What Childers fails to mention is that a me-centered/individualistic meaning-making approach most typically happens in conservative/evangelical streams. The question "What does this passage mean to you?" has shown up in far too many Bible study booklets. Historically speaking, denying absolutely any human influence on Scripture and insisting on the notion "inerrancy" started to become popular in the late-1800/early-1900s. It's the new kid on the theological block. While progressive writers/pastors/churches are willing to wrestle with Scripture's imperfections, they do this out of a high view of God and a desire to actually do what Scripture affirms. 2. The "feelings are emphasized over facts" point is just laughable. Go find any church or preacher that denies the seriousness of covid, systemic racism, or claims that Trump won the election. They would all claim that they're "historic," "orthodox," and "conservative," and yet they are the ones who have lost the grip on reality. One conservative writer once said we should know that homosexuality is wrong because of the "gag factor." How about that for emphasizing feelings over facts. Churches in the charismatic and Pentecostal traditions put a larger emphasis on personal experience and I am quite sure they would bristle at being called progressive.  3. **Essential Christian doctrines are open for reinterpretation.** This has been the case for all Christian traditions since the beginning. So-called conservatives are absolutely guilty of this as well. For instance, some complementarians (those who believe that women cannot hold leadership roles in the church) advocate for a hierarchy within the Trinity, despite the fact that this denies historic orthodoxy. As mentioned above, the view of biblical inerrency was created in early 1900s as a response to biblical scholarship. Concepts like the rapture, "scientific" 6-day creationism, and 7-year tribulation were invented in 1800s. Moreover, a refusal to reinterpret "essential Christian doctrines" is what has kept anti-semitism and anti-Black racism alive in the church for so long. If you follow the history of the conservative, evangelical movement in the United States, you'll soon realize that what counts as "essential Christian doctrine" is a constantly moving target. 4. **Historic terms are redefined.** Again, this section demonstrates her lack of knowledge in the field of historic theology. Properly defining (and redefining terms) must continually happen as each generation inherits the faith. And, again, conservatives are more guilty of this than most. Biblical authority, the second coming, the Trinity, and biblical gender roles have all received brand new definitions in recent decades as conservatives continue to shift their faith around to fit their culture. 5. **The Gospel shifts from sin and redemption to social justice.** This section shows me that Childers has not actually spent enough time listening to so-called progressive preachers. One of the ways that the Gospel **deals** with sin and redemption is through social justice. These topics are rarely pitted against each other, except, ironically, **by conservatives.** If the Gospel is true, if sin is as bad as Scripture says, then pursuing social justice is a necessary response. It is an inaccurate caricature to say that progressive Christians don't talk about sin. Rather it is progressives' shifting of emphasis from solely individualistic sins to social and communal sins that is being misconstrued or misunderstood. If you want to arm yourself against this sort of historically and theologically anemic propaganda, I'd suggest the following: Across the Spectrum, Greg Boyd and Paul Eddy The Mosaic of Christian Belief, Roger E. Olson

I am so thankful that I don't have to worry about this. I can't count how many times my pastor has stated before a sermon that the subject of the message we were about to hear would offend the world; would be rejected by the world; would make the world hate us. Then he'd remind us that the reason we preach these things regardless, is because God's Word is truth; if we are offended by something in the Bible, then the fault lies not with God's Word, but within our own hearts, and we are the ones who need change. My Testimony: On Sunday, March 6th, 2016, I walked into the doors of Apostolic Truth Church in Appleton Wisconsin. At the time, I was a self-identified transgendered woman. I lived and dressed as a woman full time, to the point at which I did not even own a single article of men's clothing. However, I was an honest person who was open about myself, and therefore it was easy to see at a glance that I was actually a man dressed as a woman. When I walked into ATC that Sunday morning, I was dressed in a black and blue dress and silver high heels. Also, my hair was dyed neon pink (lol). Nonetheless, I was warmly welcomed into the church, in the same manner, that you'd expect for any first-time visitor. Of course, I found out later that they were all praying for me behind my back :), but I digress... After three months of attending this truth-preaching, love-others-to-God church, I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins - following Acts 2:38 - and my life did an instant 180! The change was literally instantaneous. When my pastor lowered me into the water, I was nervous and scared, almost to the point of feeling completely terrified. I had identified as a trans woman for my entire life (I was baptized 9 days before my 32nd birthday), and I had known no other feeling or life alternative to that. Yet there I was, giving it up and laying it at the feet of our Lord. When my pastor lifted me out of the water, well... as I said to him later, "For the first time in my life, I feel like a new MAN (yes, I emphasized that word) in Christ Jesus!"

I want to validate Alisa's perspective here as I believe she's really trying to live out her faith in the way that makes the most sense for her. But please, for the love of God, do your own research anytime you come across anything or anyone saying what Alisa is warning about, because the people who are making these "progressive" claims have valid perspectives too. Don't let anyone convince you that their interpretation of any particular topic is enough to not do any of your own further research regarding any questions you may have. For myself and many others in the "progressive" Christian space, we find ourselves here because of the questions and concerns that have arisen throughout our unique faith journeys. In my opinion, the real warning to be heeded is anyone trying to convince you that you don't need to do your own research if you "see any warning signs" as Alisa seems to be trying to do here. I'm not saying she doesn't encourage people to do their own research, but I worry many people will unconsciously take that away from this video because she's already assuming "progressive" Christianity is bad by giving warning signs. Alisa, I mean no disrespect, but I just worry that the message behind this video will contribute to "progressive" Christians being othered and result in less good-faith dialogue.

Despite how favourable this comment section is to the presenter, there are far more Christians out there who will take/give umbridge to what's been said.

This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle-I am telling the truth, I am not lying-and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. 8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

God bless you for using your platform to "hold the line" of historic Biblical teaching. So few (comparatively) will use their platform to stand against the rising tide of this new breed of "christian" teaching.

Great work Alisa exposing the heresies of "Progressive Christianity." As Kerry Livgren's lyric says in one song, "Truth does not bend." We know Jesus is, the Way, the Truth, and Life, and Jesus never bends His words. Neither should any group of "So called" Christians. The Bible is His Word and to be taken 100% with serious devotion to perceive it's meaning from the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for reflecting the feelings of my heart in this video. I find it very difficult to be a young Christian woman right now---my peers pride themselves in their progressiveness and all I can seek to counteract their wrong definition of Christian "love" is the truth I find for myself in the Bible. I recently left a progressive church but am now left searching and feeling a bit on my own (as well as with my husband). We are overall disappointed in today's churches and their dangerous game of trying to fit worldliness in the church.

By your first warning sign, I may be described by progressive, as I spout that it is "The Word of God" that is inerrant and infallible... Jesus(Rev19:13) The scriptures(the bible) have a purpose, ultimately to reveal Jesus who is "The Word of God", YHWH "Our Father", and "The HolySpirit". I have no issue holding "The Word of God" has all authority... but to express Biblical authority usurps Jesus authority and power of preservation of scripture and its sufficiency for us by YHWH(God). Please stop making the Bible an Idol and recognize the one true God YHWH(The Father)/Yeshua(The Word)/HolySpirit(The Spirit) alone.

I don't know anyone who idolizes a Bible, but it shouldn't be a question for anyone who professes belief in Jesus that the Bible is his word, for Jesus himself affirmed the authority and infallibility of the scriptures. The idea that the Bible somehow usurps the authority of Jesus isn't correct either. The Bible contains Jesus' teaching. If God is the same today, yesterday, and forever, and if Jesus is the Word of God, then the Bible will always contain the true instructions of Jesus to his followers.

@@braedenh6858 I agree, mostly, the problem is our personal biases and perspectives... take scriptural Christians fighting over secondary issues like Calvinism and Arminianism ... YHWH(God) gave this discussion to us to explore his fullness, exorcise our trust, and show our love one for another, but it does show our inadequacy of understanding from script as opposed to the being of "The Word of God" Yeshua(Jesus) Revelation 19:13.

@braedenh6858 3 жыл бұрын

@@maxiomburrows2099 our biases and perspectives are products of our experiences and our culture, which is of the world. Christians must align themselves instead with God, and the Bible is the primary tool with which they come to know and understand him. To claim that a Christian can know God without a Biblical foundation for the relationship and wellspring of truth and knowledge is folly. A person doing that would be relying upon their own intellect and feelings to guide them, which will end in nothing good. You cite branches of Christianity which disagreed on which areas of scripture should be emphasized, but they shared the understanding that scripture was infallible.

I think you missed one. The ONLY sacred cow that is never refuted is the need to tithe and give to the church because Jesus is a transactional god in their mind.

“Dogma, doctrine and traditions are all fair game, because all pass through the hands of flawed humanity.” Spoken by a member of flawed humanity! That’s basically saying “you can’t trust what ANYONE has to say” while simultaneously saying “but trust ME.”
