The Oxymoron of Liberal Christianity
By David Fiorazo on May 28, 2019
Modern Liberalism cannot coexist with biblical Christianity. Another example of placing social justice above Scripture emerged last week, this time from an alleged Baptist church in Texas. In a commencement benediction at Baylor University in Waco, left-wing pastor, Dan Freemyer denounced “straight white men” and lobbied for the environment – in a prayer.
If you disagree with God’s Word and dislike Christian conservatives, this is a free country. But stop being a progressive pretender and admit you’re either following the crowd or creating a god in your own likeness.
Calling evil good, conforming to secular culture, and reinterpreting Christian teachings to fit an agenda is part of the cult of modern Liberalism which masquerades as Christianity. In their rebellion against God, their values include hyper-grace, idolatry, boycotting Israel, feminism, socialism, sexual confusion, environmentalism, and abortion.
The Holy Scriptures have once again taken a back seat, this time at Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, which proudly states they are: “fully affirming of women in lay and professional ministry roles, and fully inclusive of LGBTQ+ persons.”
Affirming, inclusive. Don’t be deceived by the modern use of these words.
In his remarks at Baylor, Dan Freemyer stated:
“God, give them the moral imagination to reject the old keys that we’re trying to give them to a planet that we’re poisoning by running it on fossil fuels and misplaced priorities — a planet with too many straight, white men like me behind the steering wheel while others have been expected to sit quietly at the back of the bus,”
Misplaced priorities is right, but look in the mirror, Dan. In your rant about poisoning the planet, you missed an opportunity to honor Jesus Christ and the true gospel by encouraging the college grads to seek first the kingdom of God.
By alluding to environmental activism, climate change, and God-ordained natural marriage, you were exposed as just another religious liberal, also known as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, using your platform as cover for a secular, social justice agenda.
Appealing to people’s emotion and taking advantage of their ignorance, false Christians are deceiving the multitudes while true believers in Christ have been placed on the defensive. The octopus of liberalism now dominates virtually every aspect of culture.
The Left practically controls education, organizations, publications, the entertainment industry, government, and the media. The tragedy however, is that liberalism has gained influence in seminaries and in church pulpits across the country.
The notion too many Christian leaders have today is we must become like the world in order to reach the worldly. Think about it; do liberals ever compromise and become more holy, or do conservatives typically compromise and become more worldly?
Americans are more divided over moral and political issues than ever before, but our greater concern is Christians are divided as well. Fewer believe in absolute truth which tells us we aren’t much different from the world after all. How could this be since God never changes and His Word is eternal? Emotion-driven Good marketing.
Some call it a revival of post modernism, liberation theology, progressivism, or social justice. Many of these leaders hold to a form of godliness but they deny the power of God (2 Tim. 3:5) and attack those who stand on the inerrancy of Scripture.
