What is Liberal Christian?Cool people who, unlike their fundamentalist counterparts, don't need to turn their backs on modern science to keep their faith alive Liberal/progressive Christians do not believe in a deceiving God. They know that, considering the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution, to deny it would be equivalent to denying the existence of ancient Rome or Greece. Liberal Christian - videoLiberal Christian - what is it?A liberal who plays at being a Christian to appease their conscience. Person1: I know this person who says their a Christian but gets drunk, parties, and supports murdering innocent babies. I thought the Bible teaches that getting drunk is wrong, Christians should seperate from the world (evil), and that murdering babies is wrong, what gives? What does "Liberal Christian" mean?A follower of the Christian church (any of them, since there are about 30 different denominations) that supports liberal ideology including but not limited to pro-abortion, sex whenever between any 2 legal adults, stem cell research, pro-legalization, anti-war movements, and, most importantly, the two things that set them apart from the Christian Right: FREEDOM OF RELIGION and SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, which if you'll remember is written and implied in the Constitution. Needless to say, there aren't too many out there, and most of them are really just moderates in the political spectrum. Steve Irwin: Crikes! Looks like we've got ourselves a reeeal rare one here! If you'll look in the church here, you'll see a liberal PRAYING! This must be one of those Liberal Christians, a real rarity in the USA indeed! Liberal Christian - what does it mean?A person who religiously identifies as a Christian but dislikes creeds and religious exclusion in general, has Open Communion, embraces views of salvation that emphasize social and personal transformation as more important than some after-death status conferred by God onto the individual, views the social and moral teachings of Christ as integral to his role as Redeemer of the world, doubts or rejects Biblical inerrancy, is open to panentheistic, pantheistic, and deistic notions of God, and/or is generally allergic to anything that smacks of fundamentalism. Liberal Christians tend to be in mainline Protestant denominations. Liberal Christians are not necessarily liberal in politics, though many of them are. Listening to Christian rock music does not make one a liberal Christian. The first liberal Christian whose liberal religion I respected was a highschool classmate of mine. We were talking about homosexuality, and she reminded me that among the many things forbidden in the New Testament is that vain and haughty aberration of braided hair on women (which you will find in 1 Timothy 2:9). |
