Compromise is definitely an open door to the enemy. It starts with one seemingly harmless alliance and trickles to the core belief that all people worship the same God called in different names. When we begin to examine the qualities of their “god,” it does not match the God of the Judeo Christian bible.
Your picture is that of the ecumenical movement. The synthesis of all religions to form the one world religion that is Antichrist friendly.

Hi Spaniard,
What is a liberal Christian, in your view? Do you mean anyone who is not a Fundamentalist as you defined the term Fundamentalism on one of your other blog posts (holding to Jesus as the Word of God and the inerrancy of the bible in the original manuscripts)?
If so, then I think that you are mistaken in your view. There are ‘liberal’ Christians who are Trinitarian and Christocentric. One group would be those whose theology is similar to that of Karl Barth whom many Fundamentalists mistakenly judged to be a modernist,
Barth held that Jesus Christ is the one Word of God whom we are to joyfully obey in life and in death. He took the view that there is a 3 fold form of the Word of God: The Word revealed which is Jesus Christ, the Word written which is the bible insofar as it witnesses to Jesus Christ, and the Word proclaimed insofar as it is faithful to the biblical witness to Jesus Christ and exalts the Triune God, through him.
Barth did not hold to the inerrancy of the bible but saw the biblical message as trustworthy. Is Bath a liberal and is he to be labelled as part of ‘satanic’ religion, in your view?
Regards,
John Arthur

Hi Spaniard,
Liberal Christians love God through loving their neighbour as themselves Many Buddhists show more kindness than most fundamentalists, so how are they agents of the mythical Satan? The ‘truth’ is that, if God exists, the God is love . “Satan’ isn’t love nor is the ‘way of ‘Satan’ love.
Can’t you see that only compassion and loving-kindness can heal persons and relationships. A religion of fear that is saturated with violent implications (as Fundamentalism is) can never heal.
Regards,

I can’t believe what you believe because your belief is unBiblical. God is love and at the same time He is a God of justice who punishes sin. I know that you are a liberal who is bankrupt of the truth. You are worshiping a god that you have made up in your mind that’s not the God of the Bible. Your god is Satan who you say is a mythical.

A liberal Christian is a fake Christian who rejects the Bible as being inspired by God but they claim is man-made. I don’t know who is Karl Barth is and don’t care, scripture is what matters which you have rejected because you don’t belong to God. John, you are trying to push people away from scripture and the only one that does that is Satan who you claim doesn’t exist. The one that doesn’t exist is using you to do his will and drive people away from the true God of the Bible.

To return to the point of this post, there is one way to God and that is through His Son Jesus Christ, Who is the way, the truth, and the life. We must be kind and loving to others but can’t unite with them until and unless they repent and trust in Him.
Fundamentalism simply means to believe in the essential doctrines of the faith. It’s a good thing and what the Lord wants for us. Liberalism, when used as Christian Liberalism, has come to mean a false freedom to pick and choose beliefs and to help others and tolerate their wrong worldviews.

Hi Spaniard,
Is God’s justice retributive or restorative? Punishment theory began to dominate theology with Anselm’s satisfaction theory of the atonement, then later with John Calvin’s penal substitution theory which you seem to subscribe to. These theories have violent implications.
However there have been other theories of the atonement such as Christus Victor, the moral influence theory and moral government theory which do not rely on retribution. Isn’t there some way you can soften your ideas of retribution and view God’s justice as restorative, even if you see substitution as one aspect of atonement theory?
Shalom,
John Arthur

You said-Is God’s justice retributive or restorative?
Below is your answer:
John 3:17-18
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Chew on that for a bit and see if you can digest it which I doubt it since you’re devoid of the Holy Spirit.
What’s up with you and all this theory business? I know why you use the word theory because you don’t believe in the Bible.
You have to STOP reading other people’s interpretation because it’s messing with your mind. Stick only with the Bible but how can you since you have rejected it.
Look, you are not going to convince me to leave the Lord and believe in a false god, you should know better than that. My faith in the Lord is strong because of His Word which He has given me the desire to read it every day. Your mission is futile, it will not succeed. John, those words were not for you but for the god that you serve that’s using you.
Below is the reality which you call a theory.
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Isaiah 26:21
For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Revelation 20:15
And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
John, keep believing in the lie, your part will be in the Lake of Fire if you keep on rejecting the Jesus Christ of scripture.
