“Welcome to the Progressive Christian Channel at Patheos — host to the conversations that are shaping the future of the Church, and home to the brightest voices from the mainline, progressive and emergent church. We are ministers, professors, scholars, spiritual directors, authors, artists, youth pastors, laypeople, parents and seekers, all longing to express some part of what it is to live faithfully as a Christian in today’s rapidly evolving world and religious landscape. Join our conversations on the changing church, transforming theology, spiritual practices and formation, faith and politics, social justice, the Bible, inter-faith dialogue, preaching and teaching, parenting, religion and science, books, movies and pop culture.

“Our faith is nothing if it’s not incarnate in the world. We hope the discussions we’re hosting will inspire you to be a more alive and gracious person of faith in this beautiful and broken world. Come with your convictions and your questions, and leave a comment on a blog or article that inspires or challenges you.

Thanks for that. I do not need to learn ANYTHING from ANYONE who wants to "transform theology" or who seeks "social justice." Jesus had ONE message for the person involved in homosexuality AND for the racist: "Repent and believe the Gospel" - Mark 1:15; "Repent or you will likewise perish" - Luke 13:3, 5.

Pauls summed up our mission thusly: "Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ." - Colossians 1:28

All that other "stuff" the progressive "Christians" speak about is so they don't have to warn people about sin and the consequences of it - God's Wrath (John 3:36; Ephesians 2:3; 5:6; Col. 3:6; 1 Thess 1:10; 5:9; et al). IOW - they do not preach the Gospel of Christ. I've never once heard them preach the Gospel of repentance unto God and Faith in Christ (Acts 20:20,21). They will not tell those people they hope to meet that God expects them to live Holy lives (1 Peter 1:14-16)...and if they are homosexuals now - they need Christ and they need to walk away from that like (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

So - if you can't get the Gospel correct - you most certainly can't get the more difficult doctrines correct.
