In the Fundamentalist chr*stian worldview, every human being born into the world since the sin in the Garden is born "damned."

I’ll just point out, for the record, that everything you have said about fundamentalist Christians or, more specifically fundamentalist Protestants, has been standard-issue Christian theology for 2000 years. It is unnecessary to label it as “fundamentalist”.

Fact is, it is the liberals who called themselves Christians who are the new kids on the block and have deconstructed the Christian faith into something more to their personal liking.

Liberal “Christians” are theologically akin to rabbinic Jews who abandoned the objective truth of God’s Word and covenant in favor of a religion more to their liking and circumstances. They have even duped some gentiles into their way of thinking.

You know, that's exactly what I used to think. But then I found out that these were all "innovations" and that the more ancient and authentic versions of chr*stianity have a less dim view of human nature. Roman Catholicism's "original sin" is a deprivation of grace, not a positive total depravity, and the Eastern Orthodox don't even believe in original sin! This being the case, I have often wondered why Catholics and Orthodox feel a chr*stian religion was ever necessary. Only Fundamentalist Protestants seem to take it to its logical conclusion.

Fact is, it is the liberals who called themselves Christians who are the new kids on the block and have deconstructed the Christian faith into something more to their personal liking.

Except Catholics and Orthodox, who aren't liberal, don't believe it either. They are even horrified when Protestant missionaries tell them they aren't good enough to go to Heaven "naturally" because they don't think they're that bad!

And of course we have already seen from a past exchange that you have no way whatsoever of proving this other than quoting the "new testament." In the meantime, please note this is an "ecumenical" thread. This mean no hostility is allowed. The Religion Moderator has been notified.

This Religion Forum thread is labeled "ecumenical" meaning that antagonism is not allowed on this thread.
