A.K.A. As Candidate Buttigieg: Progressive Christianity: The CINOP

"Not long after South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg entered the fray, he launched a personal attack on Vice President Pence for his views on gay marriage. Buttigieg who is gay and married to a man, said that his homosexual style was perfectly compatible with his Christian faith. 

He said that marrying a gay man made him " a better man," and moved him "closer to God." Buttigieg went on to challenge the vice president with these words: "If you've got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."

Pence, who is a committed evangelical believer and openly advocated for pro-life causes and religious liberty, responded: "I think Pete's quarrel is with the First Amendment. All of us in this country have the right to our religious beliefs. I'm a Bible-believing Christian.

What Mayor Buttigieg and many others are seeking to do is simply redefine Christianity in their terms - (This reminds me of the CINOP (Catholic-in-name-only politician), and Progressive Catholicism which is a fraud. ghk) "progressive Christianity," as it has been called. The core values of this movement have little or nothing to do with sin, the power of the cross, Heaven or hell, the deity of Christ or the authority of God's Word.

Rather, their focus is on the universal love of God, social justice, and the approval of various styles with no regard for adherence to Biblical truth. So called progressive Christianity is simply another term that allows each person to "do what is right in their own eyes." (see Judges 21-25) 

In a facebook post following Buttigieg's widely publicized remarks, I (Franklin Graham) said as follows

"Mayor Buttigieg says he is a gay Christian. As a Christian I believe what the Bible says. God's word defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized. The Bible defines marriage as between a man and a woman - not two men, not two women.

"The core of the Christian faith is believing and following Jesus Christ, who God sent to be the Saviour of the world - to save us from sin, to save us from hell, to save us from eternal damnation."

Using the term like Progressive Christianity and the Christian left may sound appealing to some, but God's laws and standards do not change. He says, "For I am the Lord, I do not change." (Malachi 3:6) I believe what the Bible says is truth.

Progressive Christianity is simply another name for theological liberalism and its accompanying permissive lifestyle that ignores God's call to holiness and obedience. There is really nothing progressive about it, other than increasing slide into sin and disobedience.

We can never allow someone to seek to redefine the orthodox Christian faith according to their own faulty terms. It is a "different gospel - which is really no gospel at all" (Galatians 1:6-7)...
