No such thing as liberal christianity.
That would be an oxymoron.

No such thing as liberal Christianity. That's absolutely right. There are former liberals who are now Christian and former Christians who are now liberal. But there are no liberal Christians. The core tenets of liberalism are unalterably opposed in every aspect to the teachings of Christ.

Christianity Must Change or Die
Change what?
Change how?
God is eternal. The truth of the Resurrection is eternal.

Are liberal Christians Christians? No. Liberals lie (as is their habit) when they claim any connection with Christianity. As I posted in this thread, the philosophy of liberalism is counter to God's Word.

The Episcopal church is a religion that celebrates homosexuality and abortion. It was founded by an adulterer who murdered his opponents and the women who displeased him. There is nothing Christian about the Episcopal church or its founder. Episcopalians today don’t worship, they gather for emotional support. Their clergy are largely agnostic.If you were a bible believing Christian and became a member of an Episcopal parish, you would soon tire of being told of your therapeutic options.

It’s not worth saving — Liberalism and Christianity is an oxymoron.

Yet instead of attracting a younger, more open-minded demographic with these changes, the Episcopal Churchs dying has proceeded apace.
When you cut away the roots, the tree dies. A church without the Holy Spirit is a dead thing.

Most of what passes for liberal Christianity is just the “vain philosophies of man”.

No. They can not be saved. They are no longer Christian. They are a political ideology. They have been dying for years. People can read. Once they read the Bible they know these “Churches” are lost. Have been for a long time.

You beat me to it.....”liberal” Christianity is NOT Christian.
Marxists—Liberals (now) with the twisting of the word “Liberal” to mean exactly the opposite of what John Stuart Mill and JFK stated-—and the so called progressives or leftists or socialists or atheists or Democrats or Satanists or Wiccans or muslims—whatever they call themselves now—are Godless people.
They want to eliminate the Christian religion because it created the best hope for mankind-—and true Christians do not worship the State and are hard to control and make into slaves. True Christians don’t fall for the Big Lie.

Right. Liberals are not Christians - they are humannists who take over the Christians’ churches and then kick the Christians out.

These faux 'churches' are more like dead men walking. They deny God's Word and they deny the working of the Holy Spirit.
They are just a social club of like-minded unbelievers.
They offer nothing. No Salvation, No Risen Christ, No Power, No Hope.
Just a bunch of man centered vain philosophies that lead to nothing.
Bishop Spong ... there is a name that belongs in the garbage heap of history's judas goats and false teachers. Wolves dressed in lamb"s clothing.

Sorry, article title is wrong:
"CanWhy Should Liberal Christianity Be Saved?"
Better.

They might want to consider joining the Muslims. Neither is much of a religion and both believe in killing babies and butt buddies,
