Can you be both Liberal and Traditional. (Jesus Christ, gospel, salvation)

[Victor]

It can be done. The problem is that liberal theology doesn't just flirt with concepts, they eventually adopt them. Liberation Theology is a good example of that. There is much that I agree with, but once it started to flirt with Marxism and eventually be more like it, I stepped on the brakes.

[spiritually inclined]

In some ways I'm a liberal Christian; in other ways I'm conservative or even fundamentalist. I'm Pentecostal but post-modern (I guess the buzzword for that combo is charismissional... which I like: it's very descriptive). Maybe Alanis Morissette could write lyrics based on that.

That sounds very interesting. Can you clarify what you mean? In which ways do you consider yourself post-modern, liberal, conservative, and fundamentalist?

Do other Liberal leaning Christians hold what might be thought of by others as split beliefs?

Human beings are very complex, multi-dimensional beings. We are capable of holding more than one idea at a time, and these may even contradict each other. This doesn't mean that we're bad or dishonest or weak. It simply means we are human, and can deal with multiple complex ideas simultaneously.

That is definately true in my experience. Hardly anything is black and white to me anymore, if anything.
