In trying to properly express Christian values and worldviews, I often come across blatant perversions of what the Bible really says, abuses that are used to support a particular theological or political view that has little else to stand on. In today's Breakpoint commentary from Charles Colson came this excellent insight:
In his classic 1923 book, Christianity and Liberalism, the great Presbyterian scholar and Princeton Professor Jay Gresham Machen reminds us that people who deny the fundamentals of the Christian faith are not just liberal Christians; they belong to another religion entirely. When it comes to liberalism, Machen wrote, Christianity "is battling against a totally diverse type of religious belief," rooted in naturalism. Despite its use of Christian terminology, "liberalism not only is a different religion from Christianity but belongs in a totally different class of religions."
