I'm jumping ship

[GQ Chris]

This is True. I read "The Celestine Prophecy" and this was the watershed moment in my life when I abandoned the dabbling in moral relativism and recognized Jesus as Absolute Truth.

Liberal Christianity at it's best tries to act like Christ apart from acknowledging the need for the new birth and indwelling Holy Spirit.

That was clear back in 1923.. "the MODERN liberal"....

They might have a heart attack seeing today's modern liberal teachings

Liberalism dropped the ball when they decided to spit on Troops coming home from Vietnam and calling them all babykillers.

The only liberals/democrats I can respect are like The Truman Democrat, JFK Liberal, but modern liberalism is nowhere near any of those...

Wholeheartedly agree with both statements.

I couldn't even *understand* "The Celestine Prophecy." Bunch of gibberish, much like the works of one L. Ron Hubbard.....

ROFL

It was at that point where I knew, everything that moral relativism and sad to say liberalism stands for, is rooted in M.R.(moral relativism) talk to pretty much almost any liberal and you will see this.. there isn't Absolute Truth to them, and in fact they hate it, because it is so "closed minded".

To Lovebirds,

I don't want to make this into an anti liberal thread.... it's easy for me to do with my strong feelings against liberalism.

Just hope you feel welcome here and enjoy chatting w/ you in future threads

I don't want to do that either.

Rep Daddy really wants them to make a CF Pet Peeve for us here. "Outside the Box" would make a great name for one.

Request is here: New CF Pet Type

"There are no absolutes," is an absolute.
"We choose not to make a statement," is a statement.
"No comment," is a comment.

[LovebirdsFlying]

If I had a pet peeve, its name (not "it's" name) might be Misplaced Apostrophe.

In the past I have not felt welcome to post in Conservative or Fundamentalist areas. This is no longer the case.

I am a religious fundamentalist, a social liberal, but firm in my beliefs for Christ. I am now getting to where I relate more to the conservatives. I have so many liberal Christian friends. They are good-hearted. I respect liberal Christianity for what it is supposed to be: a reflection of Christ welcoming the lost with open arms, saving their souls and embracing them into fellowship with Him. But this isn't what I'm seeing happen lately. In very short leaps, "liberal Christian" can become "borderline Christian, but also affirming non-Christian beliefs." Then "borderline Christian" leads to "non-Christian," which quickly becomes "anti-Christian." And if I have to choose between pleasing people, and pleasing God, which will I choose?

If you will, despite the fact that I still believe government has no business regulating who can marry whom (church has every right, but government should not), please count me among the conservatives.

I feel like I've just cut off a limb...

I've so missed you since you started posting mainly in WWMC. I've always enjoyed our conversations. I've thought of you often and have been praying for you, and hoping you would come back to chat with us. So I just cannot tell you how happy I am to see you posting here! You made my day, sweetie.

Welcome, I've recently jumped shipped as well... Like you I was socially liberal and very conservative in my own personal life. I'm noticing though that as I grow deeper in my faith that I'm becoming more socially conservative as well... to the point where I was no longer feeling welcome at a message board I posted at formerly. (a non-Christian board where I was accepted probably because I was SO socially liberal)

Another wonderful testimony!!
It's great to have you here too, Dani.

for Des.

For the record, I'm beginning to feel less like I've cut off a limb, and more like I've thrown off a weight.
