Fundamentalism in Christianity

[sooda]

You have more education, you think ? Perhaps, I only have two degrees, In criminal justice and criminology, and have attended numerous special schools and academies.

I won´t report you for name calling, unlike some, I couldn´t care less.

You are Episcopalian, that explains much. At one time you had a bishop who was an atheist.

I now clearly understand your subversion related to Christianity and the Bible, your denomination along with itś English iteration has been doing it for a long time.

Christ talked about the futility of trying to serve two masters, He, and the world.

Your denomination tries anyway, and drifts further and further away from him. Too bad.

I think fundamentalism and literalism drives people away from faith. Even the ancient Jews knew Jonah wasn't swallowed by a fish.

Where I live there are lots of churches with priests and Bishops. I thought that was what Episcopal means.

That's why I asked 'Which Church?'

No matter........

My favorite is St Michael's in Charleston.

Wow!
What a brilliant Spire!
Now that's what I call a wonderful piece of architecture.
It looks amazing inside as well.

I also use to go to St Phillips and Grace Church in Charleston.. They always had great sermons.

Christ, all the Apostles, all the believers of their time, all the believers in the immediate post Apostolic period, and most believers up until approx, 1850 were fundamentalists.

Fundamental denominations are growing much faster than either the Calvinist denominations or liberal ones.

I think the majority from the start till now are right, I´ĺl stick with them.

No.. fundamentalism is only 150 years old..

He taught the very fundamentals of Christianity. I recognise you view everything from a koranic perspective, but you are wrong.

You know he was Jewish, right? He wanted to improve on Judaism.

 

[Sand Dancer]

I'm Episcopalian, you nitwit.. I just have more education than you.

I was wondering which one of us, neither being Muslim, he was referring to.

I know.. its just lashing out.

He was the Messiah of the Jews, but they rejected His message. He wanted to bring Judaism into itś final phase.

With their rejection, He turned to the Gentiles.

Belief in the fundamentals of Christianity is 2,000 years old. The NT is the fundamental framework, belief in that, and only that, makes one a fundamentalist.

Here is another case of the language being disabused to create a label, to use a word improperly, to make the word say what it doesn´t mean.

This is quite prevalent, usually in politics though.

When did Jesus preach to the Gentiles?

Fundamentalists may also be losing members at faster rate. I only hear the fundies crying when their kids go off to college and lose their faith. It appears that reality is the enemy of fundamentalism.

There are lots of indicators that you are correct.

Jul 29, 2016 · Evangelical leaders are going to lose an entire generation of Christians in the wake of our current political and social climate. This is not an article asking millennials to leave Evangelicalism because I believe it can’t be saved, nor is this article saying that Evangelicalism is dead.

Christian fundamentalism - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist_Christianity
Christian fundamentalism began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among British and American Protestants as a reaction to theological liberalism and cultural modernism.

When did Jesus preach to the Gentiles?

Ever heard of the great commission ? If so, where did it come from ?

Ever heard of the great commission ? If so, where did it come from ?

When did Jesus preach to the gentiles? I thought that was ultimately left to Paul and Barnabas.

The Bible records Jesus giving the disciples the Great Commission.

In Acts 1:8 it is the last command given by Christ before His Ascension that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

This is similar to Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus tells the disciples:The Great Commission was not just for the immediate disciples that He was speaking to but it is given to all believers....

I never said He preached to them. His ministry was entirely to and for Israel. I said he turned to them,knowing the Jews would not respond, thus the great commission. The Apostles and Disciples were told to go into the world and preach the Gospel, by him.

The great commission came AFTER the crucifixion so what is your point exactly?
