Progressive Christianity ("PC") isn't Christianity, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I reject PC and their heretical beliefs.
However, we need to treat PC's with love, kindness, & compassion. We need to also understand what the PC's believe so that we can help them out of their self deception, and return to God.
Some PC's may take exception to some or all of the following, for it is my summary and interpretation so that non-PC's may quickly understand PC's without wading through mountains of writings, videos, and widely varying individual dogma of PC influencers and leaders.
There is huge variability within the PC movement, for the PC movement encourages everybody to construct a "Church of One", establishing your own private interpretation, your own dogma; provided your interpretation doesn't constrict the private interpretations of all other PC's.
This means that all PC's much accept and hold inside themselves all resulting contradictions and illogical conclusions, and never examine, nor analyze, nor point out any of those contradictions to self or others.
Where PC's denegrade, contradict, or misinterpret the Bible in the following, these are lies & deceptions, but most or all PC's have the following Commandments:
- Thou shalt free yourself from all prior Christian dogma.
- Thou shalt assume that the Bible is written long ago by toxic masculine patriarchs, is of unclear provenance, has been corrupted over the years through mis-translations, is mostly allegory so doesn't really mean what it literally says, and is therefore not trustworthy, and will mislead you away from God.
- God is everywhere, including inside each one of us. Every human is created in the image of God.
- Thou shall believe that the God inside each of us is our only one, clear source to know God, and our place within God's creation.
- Thou shalt listen to your heart, then over time you will discover the voice of God within yourself, what is truth, and what your purpose is in this life.
- Jesus came to free us from the Old Testament law, show us the contradictions and mid-interpretations in the Old Testament, and give us the personal freedom to exercise our God-given free will.
- Thou shalt openly accept and endorse the morals, values, principles, beliefs, faith, and paths chosen by all other PC's and all other humans; provided these other persons are consistant with these Commandments.
- Thou shall not critically analyze, compare, contrast, test, question, rebuke, or judge the morales, values, principles, beliefs, faith, and path chosen by yourself and all other persons that are consistant with these Commandments.
- As all humans are made in the image of God, and all persons have God within themselves, then through the grace and free gift of Jesus Christ, all humans will enjoy eternal life in Heaven with God for joy, peace, and fulfillment.
- Hell and the Lake of Fire will only be experienced by Satan, AntiChrist, False Prophet, and evil spirits.
