Do you think the apostle Paul, Peter, John, James, or Jesus would refer to what has and is taking place within the so-called Christian church as “progressive Christianity?”
Seriously?
Or would they call it what it is while never associating the faith of the LORD Jesus Christ with the heretical, false beliefs and teachings?
Why is it that today’s professed “Christians” refuse to use correct words? What are you afraid of?
To affirm, accept, adopt, and approve of what has and is taking place in the professed church has nothing to do with following Christ and everything to do with following the lies of Satan and this world. Why can’t that be said or written rather than the dung that is said and written, still putting such heretics, such lost and deluded, such false followers within the body of Christ?
Stop it.
Now.
Stop placing 20th and 21st century worldly beliefs, philosophies, psychology, adopted, accepted, and approved words, actions, definitions, and ways ahead of the truth of God’s word — and that is exactly what anyone who speaks or writes of the sins, the evil, the lies, the abominaitons, the apostasy, the false teachings so prevelant today still keeping those who practice and believe such things in the body of Christ.
Wake up!
Do not fear speaking or writing with accuracy and truth.
Stop being a robot merely reciting what everyone else does for fear of using the correct words — such as heretic, heretical, liar, liars, apostasy, and correct words and definitions.
Do you really believe that all those practicing such things are just confused BORN AGAIN souls?
If truly born anew, changed within their heart, mind, and spirit by the Holy Spirit of God, would they still preach, teach, practice, and walk in the ways that they do?
Seriously?
Wake up!
Stop fretting and worrying about offending someone with THE TRUTH. With the WORD OF GOD.
Heretics. Liars. THIEVES stealing the truth and carrying many to their destruction.
These are NOT Christ followers, these are NOT renewed of mind and spirit, born anew, changed within their hearts by the Supernatural power of the Spirit of God.
These are pretenders. Liars. Thieves. Heretics. Phonies. Ministers of Satan appearing as light and righteousness.
The inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal, living, and active word of God is very clear about this. Why is it that thinking, the mind, the spirit, the language, and the words of 21st-century men and women have become so muddied, lost, and corrupted?
Why is it so difficult to use the right language in these times?
More concerned with offending the sinner, the liar, the false teacher, the practitioner of heresies than offending God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
More concerned with upsetting and offending the practitioners of these heresies than correcting, reproving, chastising, or casting out if they do not see and repent of the error they carry within themselves and infect others with.
Stop prioritizing political ideology and cultural trends above the clear word of God, which only leads to the further decline, erosion, and corruption of ethics, morals, and the truth, which can only be found and known within the whole word of God.
Stop aiding and abetting The Enemy.
Stop feeding the lies and delusions.
Wake up, finally.
Each person must decide and then live either serving the LORD and all that means, or serving and pleasing men, women, and the world. And all that means. It is cut and dry. Black and white. Stop living in the gray zone, which is merely a creation [a lie] created by men and women to give them liberty to pursue their feelings and appease evil rather than doing what is required to please and serve the LORD.
There is NO SUCH THING AS progressive Christianity. Why continue to use such a lying, deluded, inaccurate term?
It’s incredible that the writer of the article below finally states that “progressive Christianity” isn’t Christianity, and then, within a few words, and for the remainder of the article, continues to call these heresies “progressive Christianity.”
Really?
How about we begin to use the brains God gave us and pay attention to the language we use, because using the words and definitions most persist in using probably is more offensive to God than if a person curses and swears and uses the known foul language of the culture.
Think about that for a bit.
Such are the times we live in.

Progressive Christianity molds faith to fit culture, rather than calling culture to repent and follow Christ.
August 31, 2025

When Baylor University returned a $1.65 million LGBTQ+ grant last month — one tied to DEI efforts and LGBTQ initiatives — it sent a ripple through the Christian world.
On the surface, it looked like a victory: a Christian institution backing down in the face of public pressure from believers. But as Allie Beth Stuckey and others rightly pointed out, this wasn’t a win born from spiritual conviction. It was a calculated retreat, one that exposed a much deeper problem than any single grant.
It exposed the growing danger of progressive Christianity.
This movement isn’t just a theological shift. It’s a spiritual counterfeit — one that keeps the language of Christianity but trades the authority of scripture for the approval of culture. And in my heart, I believe it’s more dangerous than atheism. At least an atheist is clear about what he believes. Progressive Christianity, on the other hand, deceives from the inside. It misleads under the banner of Jesus, offering a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:5).
And it’s costing people their salvation.
What is progressive Christianity, really?
Progressive Christianity isn’t just a more “open-minded” version of the faith — it’s a total redefinition of it.
At its core, progressive theology tends to:
- Reject the authority and inerrancy of the Bible.
- Reinterpret sin through the lens of human experience.
- Emphasize love and inclusion over holiness and repentance.
- Downplay the exclusivity of Christ for salvation.
It often affirms the cultural moment over the eternal word. In this view, truth is flexible. God’s commands are negotiable. And Jesus becomes more of a moral teacher than a Savior who calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23).
That’s not Christianity. That’s deception.
For anyone unfamiliar with this movement, here’s a biblical breakdown of progressive Christianity that explains how it departs from the true gospel.
Why progressive Christianity is more dangerous than atheism
It might sound extreme, but I truly believe this: Progressive Christianity is a greater threat to the gospel than atheism ever was.
Here’s why: Atheists make no pretense about their disbelief. You know where they stand. But progressive Christians use Christian language, scripture, and emotion to validate teachings that directly contradict the Bible. They redefine sin, affirm lifestyles that scripture calls us to repent from, and reduce salvation to a vague message of self-love.
In doing so, they lead others down a path that feels spiritual — but is ultimately separated from Christ.
Jesus warned about this kind of deception: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
Progressive Christianity often wears that sheep’s clothing well. But it leaves people spiritually lost, thinking they’re saved while embracing a gospel that has no power to save.
Baylor is a symptom — not the disease
The Baylor grant controversy is just one example of a larger pattern. Christian institutions across America are slowly conforming to culture while keeping the appearance of faith.
Many churches and universities want the brand of Christianity without the cost of obedience.
Whether it’s “The Chosen” seemingly partnering with people that affirm sin, or seminaries quietly shifting their theological standards, the same compromise is at work: Affirming the feelings of man over the commands of God.
This isn’t about one issue. It’s about all of them. Whether it’s sexuality, gender, marriage, abortion, or even the exclusivity of the gospel, progressive Christianity molds faith to fit culture, rather than calling culture to repent and follow Christ.
A personal word on compassion and conviction
Let me say something from the heart: I have many friends who consider themselves Christians and also identify as gay. Some are even politically conservative. They love Jesus — or at least they think they do. But they’ve been taught, as I once believed, that God affirms their same-sex relationships as long as they’re “loving” and “monogamous.”
I understand the desire to reconcile faith and desire. I lived in that space for years, trying to convince myself that God was OK with what I wanted, as long as I was sincere.
But sincerity doesn’t save us. Jesus does. And He doesn’t just meet us where we are — He calls us to repentance, to holiness, to transformation. That’s not cruelty. That’s grace.
So while I’m deeply compassionate toward those who are still working through these things, I cannot affirm a version of Christianity that leaves people where they are instead of leading them to the cross.
That’s what progressive Christianity does — and it’s why it’s so dangerous.
What the Bible really calls us to
True Christianity isn’t comfortable. It never has been.
Jesus said: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it” (Matthew 7:13).
The road of progressive Christianity is wide. It’s attractive. It’s affirming. But it does not save.
God’s word doesn’t change. His standards don’t evolve with the culture. The call to repentance, faith, and obedience is still the same today as it was 2,000 years ago. And anything less than that isn’t good news at all — it’s a lie with eternal consequences.
A call to courage
If you’re a believer who sees what’s happening in the church and feels discouraged — don’t be. God always preserves a remnant. But it’s time to wake up.
We cannot keep pretending that agreement equals love or that silence equals peace. True love tells the truth. And true peace only comes through Christ — not cultural affirmation.
The danger of progressive Christianity is that it speaks peace where there is no peace. It offers comfort without conviction and affirmation without transformation. That is not the gospel.
And it’s time we say so — with boldness, clarity, and compassion.
