In this episode, Ciara and Jessi breakdown the history, the redefinition of biblical terms, and the denials of scripture that all make up the growing ideology of Progressive Christianity.
As Postmodern thought was beginning to take hold in American culture, a concern started rising within Evangelical churches that the message of the bible was being lost. In response, self-proclaimed Christians began "deconstructing" their faith and have since arrived at a new religion that looks and sounds nothing like Biblical Christianity.
In this first part, of a two part look at Progressive Christianity, you'll hear a lot that sounds familiar, and maybe even some beliefs that you hold, without actually knowing how much they depart from orthodox Christianity.
