How wicked of you, peg, judging the sins of others is far above your pay grade, and it is illogical to assume that a "group" of postmodern Christians represent all 240 million Christians in America. It is a violation of the law of the excluded middle.

But that is the "basket of deplorables' mentality, the philosophy of group think.

Post-modern Christianity is just as difficult to lock down in a concise definition as post-modernism itself. What started in the 1950s in architecture as a reaction to modernist thought and style was soon adopted by the art and literary world in the 1970s and 1980s. The Church didn’t really feel this effect until the 1990s. This reaction was a dissolution of "cold, hard fact" in favor of "warm, fuzzy subjectivity." Think of anything considered post-modern, then stick Christianity into that context and you have a glimpse of what post-modern Christianity is.

Post-modern Christianity falls into line with basic post-modernist thinking. It is about experience over reason, subjectivity over objectivity, spirituality over religion, images over words, outward over inward. Are these things good? Sure. Are these things bad? Sure. It all depends on how far from biblical t***h each reaction against modernity takes one’s faith. This, of course, is up to each believer. However, when groups form under such thinking, theology and doctrine tend to lean more towards liberalism.

For example, because experience is valued more highly than reason, t***h becomes relative. This opens up all kinds of problems, as this lessens the standard that the Bible contains absolute t***h, and even disqualifies biblical t***h as being absolute in many cases. If the Bible is not our source for absolute t***h, and personal experience is allowed to define and interpret what t***h actually is, a saving faith in Jesus Christ is rendered meaningless.

There will always be "paradigm shifts" in thinking as long as mankind inhabits this present earth, because mankind constantly seeks to better itself in knowledge and stature. Challenges to our way of thinking are good, as they cause us to grow, to learn, and to understand. This is the principle of Romans 12:2 at work, of our minds being t***sformed. Yet, we need to be ever mindful of Acts 17:11 and be like the Bereans, weighing every new teaching, every new thought, against Scripture. We don’t let our experiences interpret Scripture for us, but as we change and conform ourselves to Christ, we interpret our experiences according to Scripture. Unfortunately, this is not what is happening in circles espousing post-modern Christianity.

September 26, 2020, 54,000 Christians gathered on the National Mall in Wash. DC to pray for our nation and our president.

How wicked of you, peg, judging the sins of others... (show quote)

I believe that intelligent people send money only to organizations they feel comfortable with. I personally never send money to politicians who are running for an office because I feel if they want the office badly enough they can spend their own money, not mine. If it costs twenty million to run for an office that will return an income of 2 million after four years you will be very welcome in Las Vegas. A lot of those Christian Organizations have leaders who have become very wealthy conning their followers. When I was a teenager I knew the way to become wealthy was to start a non-profit organization but I also didn’t want to go to jail so I just thought about that and never acted on my ideas.

Trump is the poster chikd of the seven deadly sins. I am amazed it took Christisns so long to figure that out.

So am I, especially when it came to those cracks about grabbing women by the p#ssy. Besides, how can he be Christian and boff anything with a hole? On a final note, have you ever noticed that the men who speak loudest against a******n are also the very same ones who refuse to keep their pants zipped? If they want to stop a******n, they can begin by getting castrated. If they're not going to control their things, then they don't deserve to have them!👿👿👿
