Liberal teaching has manifested itself all through the Christian. In fact, Liberalism is the main reason why there are so many Christian denominations. Allow me to list just some of the teachings done by liberal theologian over the years and allow you to decide if you think that those teachings have affect you:
1) The Bible is not “God-breathed” and has errors.
2 Timothy 3:16-17...." “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2) The virgin birth of Christ is a mythological false teaching.
Isaiah 7:14......"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.".
3) Jesus did not rise again from the grave in bodily form.
Romans 8:11...."If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
4) Jesus was just a good moral teacher.
He’s not a great teacher at all. He’s a lunatic or a liar. As C.S. Lewis properly put it, “He did not leave the other option open to us. He did not intend to.”
5) Hell is not real.
Luke 16:22-23......."And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
6) The most important thing for man to do is to “love” his neighbor.
What is the loving thing to do in any situation is not what the Bible says is good but what the liberal theologians decide is good. This denies the doctrine of total depravity, which states that man is incapable of doing anything good and loving.
That is SIX and you can probably come up with 50 more. The Word of God speaks of a time when men will have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof in 2 Timothy 3:5.
That my dear friends, that is what liberal theology does in that it says that there is some inner goodness in man that does not require a rebirth by the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ. And it speaks against those who would serve idols instead of the one true God (
1 Chronicles 16:26)—which liberal Christianity does in that it creates a false god according to someones own liking rather than worshiping God as He is described in the whole of the Bible.
