The point is that Hell exists and it is a bad place. Liberal Christians tend to believe that Hell is only figurative and, if it does exist, it is not eternal because God would never do that to anyone.
It’s why Rob Bell finally abandoned the faith. He couldn’t deal with a God that didn’t think like him. I know several liberal Christians and they are really disbelieve parts of the Bible.
Not just the Red Letters. They only believe in the Red Letters that match their beliefs.
They hate Trump and Falwell because they believe Trump and Falwell are judgmental.
Let that sink in for a minute.
“Christian liberals” want a god they can use.
“Questioning cultural norms is healthy and can lead to wholeness,” among others
Questioning Gods Word is very unhealthy and can lead to heat stroke!
Jesus said not to judge, so who are we to say two lesbians shouldn’t be married and “mother” children?
Why stop there? If we are not to judge. who are we to say you can’t kill your neighbor?
How dare they judge me for being judgmental!!
This is why it is crucial to be involved in serious, daily, and life-long Bible study. And start at home. When your Christians kids (if you have been so blessed) begin glancing at the wayward path, open your Bible and show them exactly what is God’s standard, and explain to them why it is so. We complain about society, but Bible literacy, like all education, is the duty of the parents. It says so in Deuteronomy 6: 7 and 11:19
I think the problem is that liberals (and some conservatives, too) view the Bible as a means of coercing other people to do what they want.
It wasn’t written for us to tell others how to live. It was written as a guide to tell each of us how to live OUR OWN LIFE.
So true.
Those type don’t listen to sound doctrine. Ironically, the Bible predicted them and even says why they are that way.
2 Timothy 4:3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears
I say these “liberal Christian” protesters should be referred to as ... The Leftboro Baptist Church”.
Hehehe ... that’ll get their knickers in a wad.
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?... And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?... Do you not know that we shall judge angels?... How much more, things that pertain to this life?.. If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge ? (1 Corinthians 6:1-5).
Many commands of God require the exercise of righteous judgment.
"But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us" (2 Thessalonians 3:6).
"And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother" (2 Thessalonians 3:14,15).
"Teach and exhort these things. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wrangling of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself" (2 Timothy 6:2b-5).
"Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple" (Romans 16:17,18).
All these commands require the careful exercise of righteousness judgment. Do not be deceived by smooth words and flattering speech. Beware of wolves who come to you with a sheep's skin.
We must be careful not to make unqualified judgments. But we must judge appropriately when commanded to do so.
"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." (John 7:24).
‘Truly, if Jesus weren’t sitting at the right hand of God looking down at them with a scowl and a gigantic thumbs-DOWN’
yeah, well that’s really letting ‘em have it, isn’t it...?
