>> I think I do. The author made a clever play on words about salvation but with the intended meaning of preserving the existence of liberal Christendom rather than salvation from sin which is the real issue.

By “issue”, I was referring to the criticism of Liberalism, and the negative impact it has on Christianity — specifically, the “understood” forms of abortion, and the homosexuality you generalized as fornication. The comments condemned this negative influence, but I didn’t notice comments suggesting Liberals are undeserving of Salvation.

I certainly wouldn’t question your Faith nor comprehension of it.

FWIW, I’m not that interested in qualifying how others practice their faith. That’s between them and whatever they’re praying to. On the other hand, I take exception to the abuse of my Faith which is most often condemned by the Left, and misrepresented by some in the Liberal camp.

Agreed. I just think it is important to distinguish between the leaders and followers in these categories. The leaders are generally people who have repeatedly heard the truth and hardened their hearts to it. The followers are often well-meaning people and are sometimes even genuine believers in Christ. If so, giving them the benefit of the doubt and making a case to them respectfully and humbly may persuade them they are being misled. They are being told conservatives are arrogant, judgmental, condemning, self-righteous hypocrites. We cannot afford to reinforce these views if we are to hope to change anyone’s mind.

The leftist leaders are wolves in sheep’s clothing. The point of killing a wolf is to rescue the sheep. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, along with leftist “Christian” leaders like Jesse Jackson, etc. deserve to be severely rebuked. Their followers need to be warned why they are in danger.
