Progressive Christians Tend to Put Politics Over Theology

Seems self evident. They would have to put politics first to be part of the delusional Lying Left (don't call them "progressives - they are as delusionally regressive as you can get).

As is typically the case this piece isn't about “progressive Christians” but,rather,it's about Marxist atheists masquerading as Christians in order to damage this country and true Christianity as well.

There are NO “progressive Christians”.

These are a bunch of communists, pretending to be Christians, because they think people would be more likely to listen to them, if they claim to be Christians.

‘Progressiveism’ believe that The State IS god.

Totally antithetical with Christianity.

Well, this has become all worldly again. The possibility of a clarification from our Lord resulting in a multitude of attitude adjustments seems to be ruled out.

Politics IS their religion.

>Theology

ie: the study of the nature of God and religious belief.

Therein lies the problem. God is infinite and any personal study and belief of his creation is just that.

A Man believes what he wants to believe and disregards the rest...

NO, REALLY?

One thing about leftists. No matter what label they call themselves, leftism is the religion, end of story.

I think a lot of professing Christians decide what their sexual morality is, then choose a church and a system of political beliefs based on that.

I’m specifically thinking of someone who told me of a desire to seek a church based on how they treated homosexuals and worked to put women in leadership positions in the church. This person (though I did not ask) has offered criticism of Trump, and sympathy for Hillary Clinton, and probably voted for her as well.

Then they are not Christians!

If you put anything before Christmas that causes you to be not Chris t-shirt, you can no longer call yourself one of Christ’s.

When someone claims to be a Christian then advocates “the separation of church and state” to mean we cannot “legislate morality”, you know that they are really saying they will not support pro-life/anti-abortion laws or interfere in total LGBTXYZ rights. They see morality as a relative/existential thing.

The first problem is that not everyone who calls themselves a Christian, is.

Some people claim they are Christian and yet what they really mean is that they are not muslim or Jewish, or anything else.

It certainly don’t mean they have any relationship with Jesus.

The second word in the title does not apply to these people. You cannot support murder of children and claim Christ.
