Sorry, S&T, for the delay- midterms and all that..!<BR/><BR/>Yep, we have one group wrangling out what part of God's message is "authentic," and another hammering down what they call "essential," and it gets to be like trying to feed a child who refuses to eat anything but blue food!<BR/><BR/>("But green food is yucky, brown food looks like dirt, red food is scary, I don't like yellow today....") I've even heard it preached that, "God would never correct a Christian because that's "negative," ya know and Romans 8:1a says..." If we don't get those "details" out of the bin, it's ourselves that stand to wind up on the heap!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215557199259127287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765859905680932230.post-16575405754275683992008-10-21T11:12:00.000-05:002008-10-21T11:12:00.000-05:00Good job.

"Oooh, oooh, we can't go there because you know who is in there." <BR/>Armed with Christ, we can go there, and conquer all those pesky details.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765859905680932230.post-87191751118725642062008-10-18T05:12:00.000-05:002008-10-18T05:12:00.000-05:00At the "core" of Liberal Theology is "reductionism...<EM>At the "core" of Liberal Theology is "reductionism." Classic Liberalism took Jesus' words, "on these hang all the Law and the Prophets," concerning what we variously call the "Summary of the Law," or the "Jesus Creed," and reduced all they saw "Christianity" to mean down to simply "Go to church and act nice." and relegated all the rest to the "details" bin to be sorted out later.</EM><BR/><BR/>Good thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Having dealt with liberal theology with four degrees, and having been in the secular system for two degrees, it seems many modern religious scholars reason we have greater knowledge in some related areas than the writers of Scripture.<BR/><BR/>These Biblical writers can then be considered as less than authoritative by some.<BR/><BR/>The nature of humanity is corrupt, and newer knowledge does not change the need for divine revelation in regard to religious matters.<BR/><BR/>I received a few comments on my articles this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Robert.Dr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505655776770812228noreply@blogger.com
