Excerpt from: PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY VS. THE BIBLE – by Amanda Fritz
Progressive Christianity deserves recognition as its own religion because it does not align with the Christian belief that the Bible is the authoritative word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16 ESV “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,”
Progressive Christianity is an ever-evolving religion that idolizes select principles of Christianity that fit with the time and culture. Whereas Christianity is constant in observing the whole Bible as authoritative truth throughout all time. Christians don’t believe that God and his will for us change according to the hearts of men.
Hebrew 13:8-9 ESV “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.”
Although, Progressive Christians do believe that Christ was God in human form. They don’t believe that all his instructions for us still apply today.
Galatians 1:6-10 “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
