“Gushee describes himself as a “progressive evangelical.” He’s an advocate of LGBT “rights.” He believes climate change is “human induced” and, therefore, “an offense against God Himself.” And he argues that “Christian Zionism underwrites the theft of Palestinian land and oppresses Palestinian people, help(ing) create the conditions for an explosion of violence…”
Just from reading the above statement, I would say that Gushee is an offense to GOD.
Religious left? Isn’t that something of an oxymoron?
so... Can anyone please share with us where Donald Trump has made racist comments towards blacks or queers? I haven’t found any. They just call him that cuz he wants to ban muslims, a cult not a race.
What a wonder evangelist. Should Trump kneel before Cruz.
Can't see that happening.
What’s his position on abortion?
The “religious left?” A “progressive evangelical?” This is why I label myself now as ANTI-LEFT. I know where I stand, so do you.
We the American Voters have spoken...WE want TRUMP...
Trump isn't Conservative;
Trump isn't Liberal;
Trump is an American, born, bred, raised in America, built his business the American Way and raised his family with American Values...
All these writers who think they know it all are #NeverTrump idiots....
WE THE AMERICAN VOTERS HAVE MADE OUR POINT!!!
I personally think the entire “Christian Left” is a political, manufactured potemkin village.
Statists and proto-fascists in government need “religious support” for all their social-engineering schemes, and they need to confuse and demoralize actual Christians. Hence the need for a fake organization to supply the MSM with the leftist narrative framed in religious terms.
Yes, they do persuade, dupe or control some churches - but these churches are on the verge of extinction.
What is the “religious left”?
What religion other than one they make up on the spot and adapt to whatever conditions entice them at any one moment?
There are some Christians who believe Trump is the AntiChrist himself because he was born into wealth like Damien Thorpe.
Folks get ready all this will get worse from both liberal and liberal Christians. I know Trump will prevail over all their crap.
“Christian Left”, “Christian Moderate”, “Christian Right”. What utter hogwash. The term “Christian” is becoming as outmoded as “Conservative”.
Christian refers to a follower of Christ and his teachings. To impart other meanings is to mock Him and to commit heresy. This man, pretending to be a christian, is no more than a heretic.
According to any Liberal, that is to say.
It’s difficult not to like Trump.
5.56mm
All 100 of them?
And the atheists on the left who condescendingly describe Jesus as an “imaginary friend” fathered by an “invisible sky daddy” love “Christians” like this.
Since when is there a “religious left”
It has always been “Religious-Right” - as if they were one and the same - if you were religious, then you were also right-wing.
There was the Right, and then there was the RELIGIOUS right, which was much much worse thing to be.
The Christian Left is content to embrace evil in order to accomplish “progressive” ends. These “people of God” do not give a damn.
[[“Christians are ‘called to resist’ Trump.” So read the headline accompanying a polemic authored by Rev. Dr. David Gushee, Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University in Georgia. ]]
Utter BS
No such thing as a leftist Christian .
If you support LGBT right - You are going against God
If you support abortion - You are siding against God on murder
If you support socialism - it’s called theft
If you don’t like God’s word then don’t call yourself a Christian because you can’t love and follow Jesus if you hate what he says and does .
If you support Hillary or Bernie you are voting for the anti God party . No don’t call yourself a Christ follower if you have the nerve to go against him and vote that way
I had a Seminary prof explain this real easy one time...He said you either believe Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created” or you don’t ...if you don’t the rest of the 66 books won’t be the WORD of God and they are not to Gushee..they are to him and like minded ilk whatever they deem it to be.
It’s like this LGBT stuff of whatever bathroom I want to use today. Well God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and Gushee is a hell bound nincompoop. The good news for him there are jillions just like him.
