	Liberal Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberal theology is a branch of religious thinking which emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, in the wake of The Enlightenment.
		Liberal theology became dominant in the mainline churches in the 20th century.
		Liberal Christians may believe that the Bible is divine revelation, but that passages in the Bible often describe events which occurred therein in symbolic rather than literal terms.

	Understanding Liberal Christianity
		Liberal Christians support inclusivity in church membership, with no rules excluding people on account of their supposed living of a "sinful lifestyle" or being "unrepentant sinners" -- recognizing that we all have sins to which we ourselves are blind.
		Liberal Christians tend to take the researches of scholarship seriously, and to guide their own views of such matters as the interpretation of Scripture and issues such as evolution, human sexuality, social justice, etc., based on informed scholarly research.
		Liberal Christians tend to focus very much on the specific teachings of Christ as opposed to theology based in Pauline and OT Scripture, in asserting what is the primary mode of determining how one should follow Christ, in terms of doctrinal and moral questions.

	Liberal Christianity in the 21st Century
		Liberal Christianity has found itself locked in a struggle with a more agressively radical Christian Right that has successfully asserted its view through political activism.
		One of the hallmarks of Christian fundamentalist thinking seems to have been the idea that the concepts of a dying God who resurrected and brought salvation to humanity was a new idea brought forth by God through Jesus only at the meridian of time.
		Spurred by the writings and public declarations of prominent Christian liberals such as Bishop John Shelby Spong, academics and historical researchers who are questioning the authenticity of Christian historical accounts, many Christians find themselves spending more time defending the faith than in effectively building up their religion.

	Liberalis: Liberal Christian Theology
		Liberal Christians are committed believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who have thoroughly studied the scriptures and traditions of the Church, and have examined their faith in the light of reason and experience.
		Liberal Christians therefore welcome a variety of approaches to understanding God, and are open to new ways of talking about the divine.
		Traditional Christian doctrines, such as the Virgin Birth, the Atonement, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and the Resurrection, are sometimes given new interpretations by liberals.

	EPM Resource - Conservative, Liberal or Christian?
		Liberals desired to change from the status quo of racism in the 60's and they were right.
		Liberals live under the false notion that change is always good, conservatives under the equally false notion that change is always bad.
		Liberal solutions to economic problems are stealing (via taxation) from other citizens and indiscriminately passing out the money to the poor, creating a permanent underclass riddled by no sense of personal responsibility and by bitter resentment.

	Conservative & Liberal Christianity
		Conservative Christianity: The Husband should clearly be the head of the family, the wife should submit to the husband and the parents should be very controlling of their children especially using physical discipline to enforce proper behavior.
		One Liberal Christian: I believe that men and women are equals before God and that a healthy marriage is an egalitarian one where both cooperate with each other and not one where one dominates the others.
		The role of the Christian shouldn't be to try and impose one set of moral ideas for personal living on everyone else, but to work for justice-love in concrete ways and work towards helping people discover integrity, self-acceptance and connection with the Divine love in their lives.

	Liberal-Bane — The Real Truth About Christian Fundamentalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Christians, already concerned that Biblical principles were being corrupted by these developments, saw the encroachment of liberal Christian theology as the last straw in what they perceived, quite rightly, as an assault on their beliefs.
		The irony is that because Christians refused to, in effect, renounce their faith, ‘liberals´ try to characterize Christian Fundamentalists as usurpers, some new and dangerous cult, when it is, in fact, the ‘liberals´ who are the late-comers, the ones who are assaulting traditional, long-standing beliefs.
		If the tenets of the liberal theology sound familiar, it´s because they are the same basic principles that have for decades been trumpeted as the truth by ‘liberals´ in media, education, the social sciences and philosophy.

	Pakistan Christian Post
		For the "Christian" to lean politically to the left means that he must blow off huge chunks of the Bible and replace the scripture with the make-believe notions of postmodernism`s malleable "Christ." Only after torturing the scripture can the Christian then fit liberalism into his supposed relationship with God.
		For the Christian who believes that unfeigned faith in Christ should correspond with Jesus` high view of scripture, it is impossible to believe in God and be an adherent to postmodern liberalism.
		The Christian skipping around the maypole wearing his rose-colored glasses who has a bent to the liberal left needs to understand something: if it were left up to the modern, secularized liberal establishment, he would be more restricted than Bill when Hillary`s in town.

	Israpundit: Why do liberal Churches support the Palestinians
		It is plausible however that anti-semitism that runs deep in Christianity and the Christian psyche, moves some Christian Churches including some mainstream Christian churches, such as the Presbyterians, the Church of Christ and the Anglican Church and many Christians, to turn a blind eye to the fact that radical Islam is their enemy.
		What is also noteworthy is that these Christian churches and pro-Palestinian Christians invariably try to explain their reasons for their positions taken against Israel and in support of Palestinians, which explanations include denials that they are anti-semitic and that anti-semitism had any role to play in their determining their position.
		That these Churches and Christians go to such great lengths to make such point, reveals that they are acutely aware of their own anti-semitism and the stigma that attaches to any Christian who engages in expressing such anti-semitic beliefs.

	Biblical Womanhood: Liberal "Christian"?
		My wife was not using "liberal" (and she never used the word "conservative") in a political sense or even a theological sense.
		This quote is appended to the definition of the liberal Christian â“ and so in context your wife seemed to be suggesting that liberal Christians (according to her own definition) are not true Christians, because, unless the bible is your standard you are not a âtrueâ Christian.
		But liberal Christians arenât displaying pictures of dead babies in front of abortion clinics and telling women they are murders as they walk in.

		Liberal Christians believe that at death everyone, save those who violate the Ten Commandments, have committed one or all of the seven deadly sins, or white, Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual Catholic males, shall enter the New San Francisco and live under Democratic Rule and the rulership of their god.
		The ordination ritual is proceeded by five eyars of Al Franken and John Shelby Spong in the Liberal Christian seminary, and requires the sacrifce of a Teddy bear (preferably Winnie the Pooh) to the Great Permissive Dude in the Sky Who Lets Us Do Whatever We Want.

		We, therefore, have the command of Christ, and we don't need the permission of liberal ecumenical leaders who are probably unregenerate themselves and who do not care for the souls of the unsaved masses and who think that they have the authority to control the preaching of the Word of God.

		But the abolitionists based their case on what the bible teaches overall about the nature of human beings, and God's love for each and every one, and drew the conclusion, in spite of what a surface reading of scripture seems to say, that slavery was morally wrong and ought to be abolished.

	In Defense of the Christian Liberal, by Frank Lovato - Democratic Underground
		Liberals, whether or not they are Christians, are often more Christian acting than the more vocal conservatives because they are truly concerned about the well being of people and do not rush to judge the righteousness of their fellow man. The Bible has a passage that states, "Judge not least you be judged".
		I my opinion, it would seems that a true Christian society would be willing if not eager to provide a means by which a killer could save his soul and not prematurely end his life before he has had every opportunity to repent of his sins.
		Christian teaching holds that the innocent un-born child and the hardened killer are both precious to God and not one more than the other.

	What is a Liberal Christian ?? : Fool Moon
		I am not a Christian now but I was once (and still admire many aspects of Christianity as a religion) and I was always a liberal.
		Being a Christian (or indeed just a good person) should be about caring for others and wishing to reducing suffering, liberalism is also about the same ideals (minus the theology).
		So you could say a liberal Christian is a follower of Jesus's example of how to live life as a good human being not just following an empty dogmatic version of Christianity where fear and intolerance is valued more than love and unity.

		Liberal Christianity is nothing more than applying the wisdom of man in the realm of the spiritual through the rubric of Christianity.
		Liberals have castigated the preaching of fundamentalists and others because they preach ecclesiastical separation from those who continue to disbelieve the fundamental doctrines of Scripture.
