Why do Christians become liberals?

I am unable to comprehend it. Ever since it was proven for me that God was real, everything had to justify itself before God, not the other way around. Did they begome just because it was hip and cool or something? Or can't they accept that homosexual marriage is bad because they want to bow down to the current culture or something?

"Liberal Christians" aren't even bad Christians. They aren't Christians at all. They're false Christians.

Pretty much. I can’t decide which is more insulting, "Jesus was just a cool dude who preached love and tolerance and everything else is just ancient bigoted mumbo-jumbo fairy tales" or "Jesus (as) was actually secretly a Muslim preaching the word of Allah (no relation) and who only pretended to die on the cross and everything else is the evil lies of Paul (lanatullah)"

It depends. There are those who look at the verses praising the poor and condemning the rich and take that as socialism. And those who take the turn the other cheek thing as pacifism. I think you could be a faithful Christian and hold those views. On the other hand Christians that believe gay sex is fine and abortion is a woman's right are not looking to scripture for doctrine, they support these things to be popular with the world.

Justification to partaking in sin by twisting the words and rationalising sins so they will not feel bad or damned about it. So they do the mental gymnastics until it is acceptable and partake in it. Prime examples being "It did not say in the bible directly that it is a sin to fap.", "Bible say it is not the thing which man put in the mouth and damns him, that includes dicks.", etc.

I just spent a few minutes lurking r/Christianity. It's infuriating. Anyone who speaks common sense or supports traditional Christian beliefs is downvoted to oblivion. I get the impression that a lot of the people there were raised Christian but were completely secularized by culture. They're too pussy to admit to themselves that they are no longer Christian, so instead they spend their time trying to find loopholes and break down the faith into something more wishy washy, like them.

I think it's this. A lot of them from what I've seen are middle class SWPL types who tend to have "friends" from "diverse backgrounds" (fags, trannies, muslims, atheists, feminists, etc.) so they don't want to take up any position which makes them seem intolerant/bigoted/racist/whatever. I think they like the idea of being one of the "good christians" in their little group of reprobates who is on "the inside" calling out injustice/bigotry/whateverthefuck from "extremists" (actual Christians).

They are not Christians.

They are general feel-good-man herd that tends to every new hip way of live, just to not stick out of their herd and disrupt their herd mentality. They are slaves before the material (devil), we are free serfs before the God Himself.

The disease is slow and progressive. It starts with clergy that have become liberal or are beginning to become more liberal. As such the sermons will begin to take a more and more liberal slant, acting upon the congregation as a form of indoctrination, whether intentional or not.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't just be an atheist instead of pretending to believe in Jesus Christ. Are you just afraid God will BTFO you if you don't say you're a Christian?

If the meaning of life is just about hippy love and tolerance or whatever, why wouldn't you just become a Unitarian Universalist? They're like 10 times as pozzed as liberal Christians.

Mate you're on the internet. You can punch something in the search bar and find some reliable source(This part might be hard if you're new but certainly you're not new).

Some people get zogged by the TV and start spouting liberal spew because they genuinely believe what it says and mean well. Being stupid doesn't make you evil. Before you write them off you should at least try to show them how they're being tricked.

They're just ignorant at most, guilty of not listening to the primary source. If you told them why they were wrong, then they would likely agree with you.

For example, with healthcare, they're repeatedly told by multimillion dollar comedians like Colbert/Stewart/Kimmel that Republicans want to intentionally kill people by removing the ACA bill. Stating that Republicans are non-Christian for not helping the sick. What those false prophets neglect to tell them is that the ACA forces everyone to pay non-fixed health insurance, if they can't, then they're penalized with a non-fixed fine. Jesus said along the lines of the rich should assist the poor, not "the government should force the poor to buy health insurance or else they'll pay a fine for it to ultimately fund a rich medical industry".

The issue with modern society is that people aren't willing to listen to detailed truth and think heavily, they just want to listen to oversimplified bullshit and act immediately.

It's not that hard to understand liberals, to understand why they embrace the things they do. It's faulty logic, predicated on some appalling assumptions about God and ourselves, but it is nonetheless a form of logic. It is …

Because they decide "God is Love" >> "God hates sin"

Because they decide "God is Love" >> "God is concerned with your salvation"

Because they decide "God is Love" >> "God left you some pretty firm moral guidelines to obey"

Because they decide "God is Love" >> "God expects you not to sodomise another man"

Because they decide "God is Love" >> "Whatever God has to say on any given matter"

Because they decide "God is Love" >> Bible

Because they decide my and my friends' personalised interpretation of scripture >> "Whatever the Bible has to say on any given matter"

Because they decide God couldn't POSSIBLY be being mean to gays when the Bible is abundantly clear that God loves us enough to die for us

Because they decide revelation comes in stages, so the Bible is a little outdated for these modern times and God just hasn't updated us recently

Because they decide being loving >> "Whatever God has to say on any given matter"

Because they decide salvation is all about loving God and being kind and nice

Because they decide "God is Love" and all you need for salvation is to reciprocate

Because they decide "my definition of what love is" >> anything God says through the Bible on the matter

Because they decide "my definition of what mercy is" >> anything God says through the Bible on the matter

Because they decide "my definition of what righteousness is" >> anything God says through the Bible on the matter

Because they decide "my definitions of what is moral" >> anything God says through the Bible on the matter

Because they decide the Bible is a good reference, but not all of it is relevant to the 21st century.

Because they decide the Bible is a good book of some moral parables, but we "know better" with our more advanced science or philosophy on some of the tougher issues

Because they decide the Bible is a good book of some moral parables, but God was talking to people two or four thousand years ago, not to people of the 21st century

Because they decide the Bible is a good book of moral guidance, but God was really just teaching us HOW to be moral people, not laying down a specific law – that's why Jesus abolished the moral law, see. Remember the whole temple curtain thing?

Because they decide they know better.

Because they decide.

We might tower over liberals with our refusal to endorse teh gay but for some people it is only because they are naturally or culturally repulsed by the very idea, so gays being rejected by God seems normal to them. However, these same folk are in danger of the very same sorts of faulty-founded logic that says things about God that are not true. God does not "hate" fags, for example, though, the unrepentant He will cast into the fires. And nor is rejecting gays the foundation or even much of a moral foundation of our religion. It IS a pretty good shibboleth these days, but it's one moral issue of thousands, and we tend to forget or just neglect the rest of those. God will not thank us for this.

The only defence either group has against meme theology is the Bible, and, if they're firmly Biblical, the teachings of various teachers throughout the ages. Liberals look on the Bible as being "that nice book" but they've cut from it its less "palatable" portions that do not align with these liberals' preconceived notions about what, say, love or mercy mean. They use their own moral compass to judge God's. It's not going to go well for them, I am afraid to say.

Liberals have skewed understanding between the difference God and humans. Just observe when they encounter a passage or theological question/position they don't agree with, even if it's clear as the sky on a sunny day, they insert their own agenda into God's mouth. They seem to have no concept of conforming into Jesus's image, rather we see opposite. Now I've seen similar influences with the conservatives, but not as bad of the liberals.

You are part of liberalism though. It's a gradual progressive departure characterized by compromise after compromise. And that is the message you're bringing us. Before the 1960's there was no tolerance for such ideas.

>but it's one moral issue of thousands, and we tend to forget or just neglect the rest of those.

Ok, even if we do, you're kinda the one bringing up this issue here so in response to that I have to say that rampaging barbarians at the gates shouldn't be treated like "one moral issue of thousands." They are trying to castrate children right now, against the will of the parents. If their agenda succeeds, it will soon be illegal to protect your young child from sexual predators on the pretense of "tolerance for oppressed LGBT persons." This is highly disruptive to our way of life. To not recognize the fact they are currently waging an all-out war on our way of life, and that we must resist immediately and proactively, is also serving their agenda.

LOL. Nice try, m8.

Either you're misunderstanding deliberately? my position, or you really, truly believe that gays cannot be redeemed. In which case, then you're just plain wrong and Paul says so.

>Before the 1960's there was no tolerance for such ideas.

ONLY because of natural distaste morphing into "Christian values".

Or because of the "I'm more hard-core moral than you" race.

At NO time in history can you find any theological Christian position on gays further than Paul's "and that is what some of you WERE"((( until ))) … we get to the 19th century when (fake) Victorian morality kicked-in. There were plenty of gays in the middle ages who weren't stoned to death.

Or are you suggesting they were in the imaginary IFB principalities of medieval Europe?

Oops, almost missed part2

>Ok, even if we do, you're kinda the one bringing up this issue here

Only because it's seemingly the ONLY issue that /christian/ seems to worry about at the moment – check the catalog. Well, teh gays and fapping. I just assumed this was where OP was coming from.

>so in response to that I have to say that rampaging barbarians at the gates shouldn't be treated like "one moral issue of thousands."

Yeah, I don't see what you're seeing, but I do agree their shit is potentially something of an existential threat down the track. But, if the Lord has anointed it, what of it? Christians evacuate the middle east en masse, why not the west as well? Why do we think we should be spared this fate? Because we're comparatively rich? Or because we're fleeing countries that used to be Christian unlike those middle easterners… oh … oops!

And how are those middle eastern Christians responding to their being slowly forced out? Are they trying to pass laws to stone muslims to death? While I don't pretend to know what you think should be done, hate has never been God's solution. There'll be plenty of time for that come the day of God's righteous judgement. For now, our job is to love even our enemies, not to be sheep lead to slaughter, to be wise as serpents, but to love nevertheless.
