A good read. He nails it, pretty much.

Good article. The Progressive Church is a direct outgrowth of the Communist Church (the one with the relic of St. Lenin on Red Square).

Thanks for this.

The great Bible teacher and pastor Dr. J. Vernon McGee predicted that the believing Church in America (those who believe that Jesus is God, the Bible is God's inerrant truth, Christ's blood atones for our sins, etc.) would one day be driven underground, essentially made illegal for those fundamental beliefs.

He also predicted that the chief persecutor of that believing Church would be the mainline liberalized churches. These will be congregations and pastors with the same mindset as those who sided with Hitler and the Third Reich.

Christians who believe in the fundamentals of the faith, who place that faith solely in Christ and will not accept a corrupted, depraved worldview can take a lesson from the current Chinese underground church movement that has burgeoned regardless of Communist oppression.

The poor fools who hate God, His Christ and His eternal Word will suffer eternal damnation regardless of our momentary sufferings at their hands. They are to be pitied.

Very good. He also shows the bizarre self-contradictory principles upon which the Progressive Church is built.
