What is a Christian fundamentalist?

[Dave...]

Shouldn't all Christians be fundamentalist?

These days the powers that be seem to be pretty good at redefining terms and words to advance their cause. This is how I see it.

There was an influx of liberalism being injected into the Christian churches at the turn of the century, that being the eighteen hundreds into the nineteen hundreds. So the dry theologians all got together and created a fundamental set of doctrines to protect against the false teachings that were encroaching. These were the fundamental set of doctrines that were considered essential doctrines. As we see today, they had good reason to be concerned.

I believe in the fundamental doctrines. I'm a Christian fundamentalist.

Not everyone's use of the term, 'fundamentalist', has to do with the fundamentals, but rather, someone who insists on what they consider the fundamentals. For example, covenant theology was around long before dispensationalism, yet, in my experience, it is the dispensationalists that are often (and proudly, some times) referred to as fundamentalists.

If a fundamentalist is someone who insists on strict adherence to what he regards as the foundational principles of a belief system and resists reinterpretation, accommodation, or revision in light of modern thought, culture, or scholarship, then I am a Christian fundamentalist.

if being fundamentalist is taking God morals and scripture seriously then Jesus all the apostles, etc were fundamentalists.

Hey Mark.

That's just the history of it. That's where it came from.

The Media always portrays fundamentalism these days as being far right Christians. Apparently, less taxes, more personal responsibility, and smaller government, when taken to the extreme, is now considered terrorism, and called Christian fundamentalism. Kind of like a white guy with an opinion is called white supremacy. They can sure redefine words. That's Marxism.
