Liberal theologies are like city buses
Forum category
Liberal theologies are like city buses, one comes by every few minutes headed in a different direction. Has liberalism ever met a theology it didn’t like?
Since 1900 non-orthodox mythologies, manmade theories, and Gospel alterations we have been treated to include: [Social Gospel: , “Neoorthodoxy [also called Barthianism and Theology of Crisis: , Demythologization … Theology of Secularization, Situation Ethics, Theology of Hope, Theology of History, Process Theology, Theology of Being, Mysticism … [plus Liberation Theology, Black Theology, Theology of Feminism, Ecological Theology, Postmodernism, Eastern Thought, New Age, and the emerging church.: ” - Harvie M.

1.We know that absolute truth is like a deep rooted tree not chaff in the wind. Real truth does not change. Like God it is imutable. New ‘truth’ is not absolute and timeless.
2. Shifting, temporary, manmade theologies don’t satisfy. People move on to the next one.
Satan separated Eve from her provider, God. As with Eve, Satan comes in on the wings of a lie (Jn 8.44). By discerning what a particular lie is stealing we can of course endeavor to expose it.
Though a bit older perhaps, we might add another big daddy lie to the above list. It starts at an early age in public school stealing children’s God, Jesus Christ, atonement for sin, forgiveness, abundant life, joy, peace and eternal life. I of course refer to antiGod evolution.
The Good News though is that Jesus wins!
