Scripture for Today, 1-26-19: Progressive Churches

Is 'Progressive' Theology Destroying the Christian Church?
"Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Romans 12:2; 1 Peter 1:14-16; Leviticus 11:44

1-25-19, * -- So-called "progressive" Christians love to bash fundamental, conservative Christians. They call us "dinosaurs" scoffing and mocking us as "outdated fundamentalists." (2 Peter 3:3) The reality is that they're simply following the spirit of the age, swimming with the current cultural tide rather than against it. In the name of conformity they're being conformed (Romans 12:2) to the world opposing the Lord Jesus Christ's teaching and precepts. [1]

Homosexual's complain. How dare you agree with Scripture? How dare you affirm that the Lord's ways are best? In a recent online interaction with a liberal 'pastor,' I shared the holy scriptures on homosexuality. The pastor posted, "Michael thinks LGBTQ people can NOT be LGBTQ. Michael thinks you can pray the gay away. Michael preys upon already marginalized people. Michael thinks other people's bedrooms and body parts are his business. Don't be like Michael."

The issue is not what "Michael" thinks, but what God says. That's why I posted this: "To all professing LGBT "Christians" and their allies: Please give me just ONE explicit verse in the Bible where God sanctions same-sex relationships. Just one. You know already there are clear verses saying the opposite." Zero responded.
​
The "progressives" fail to realize that they are joining forces with those who want to take away rights, who want to silence Christians, attempting to discredit God's holy Word, wanting to impose their ideology and penalize all dissenters. (Yes, I'm talking about LGBT extremists and their allies, sometimes known as the pink mafia.)

A professing homosexual Christian tweeted with joy about his upcoming wedding to his partner, telling me the Scripture he would use at the event. When I shared with him Scriptures that God objects to same-sex relationships, he told me plainly that the Bible was not his final authority and that God was bigger than a book. Sad.

Labeling homosexual people as 'Christians' is an oxymoron. 
Deliberate disobedience is 'fruit' of unsaved person.
Jesus said, By their fruit ye shall know them. Matthew 7:15-20
... if you love me obey Me. John 14:15, Hebrews 10:26-32

Is the New World Translation "Bible" a valid version? No
The New World Translation is a perversion, not a version, of the Bible. The Jehovah's Witnesses, Updated and Expanded by Ron Rhodes too and converted God's word to fit their dogmas and beliefs. More here
