- Bart Campolo predicts that in 10 years 30-40% of Progressive Christians will “progress” all the way to atheism. Why? Because progressive Christianity and Atheism have more in common than we’d like to think.

"Progressive" Christianity is not Christianity.
facts
Exactly. I agree.
@@juandavidbalagueraquevedo2531 it's called the Bible. Read it.
Any sect of "Christianity" that preaches that Christ was of the same "chosen people" tribe as Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Trotsky is "progressive" or "liberal". That's another thing this sect and atheism have in common - both will smear you as " antisemitic " for speaking the truth.
Its Blended Chrisrianity
“The teachings of the bible aren’t progressive, they are eternal”
That’s so good 🙏
To be fair, it depends on how one defines Progressive. Is salvation, grace, and the Cross progressive from religious legalism? Are we saved by Faith in Christ on the Cross or is behavior and lifestyle change required for Salvation. I do not like the term "progressive", but I believe the term emerged initially with good intentions and like many things it has been perverted to Sin acceptance.
@@igloozoo3771 Progressivism is partially what turned me away from the faith and why I am agnostic/atheist conservative today
Amen 🙏
Progressives hear the voice of the Serpent ask "Did God really say?" and conclude that He did not.
No frrrr, I've seen many "progressive" Christians try to justify sins and flip God's word to fit their lifestyle
thats actully a really good way to put it.
@@ChristellesCorners so do conservative Christians
@@christelleilmet3601 I'll be happy if u can list them
@@francoisssangma996 slavery, segregation, police brutality, sexism, racism, misogyny, and bigotry. Basically everything in american history that the american Church has backed and defended. For example in modern times is trump supporters who call themselves Christians and say that Black Lives Matter is umbilical even though there’s so many scriptures where God tells us to stand up and help the oppressed, to not show favoritism of any kind (for example being racist) and to not murder, yet these same trump supporters who identifies as Christians back the police the same ppl who murder black ppl for no reason, show favoritism (being racist), and literally oppress ppl.
“They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.”
1 John 2:19 (NASB1995)
Many progressive Christians still hold gospel truths in there theology, so they haven’t left the body of Christ.
So what.
And yet, "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins." - James 5.

Progressive christianity makes "you" feel good about yourself even divine,
True word of God from the Bible makes you humble and righteous because God is divine
Best comment yet!
Well said
_Paul brought progressive Christianity, and he proclaims to be the blind leader of the blind._
_Paul taught his followers in_ 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, *not by sight:)*
_For those that have eyes to see in 2 Cor 5:7 Paul writes the inclusive word _*_“we”_*_ which includes himself as a _*_“not by sight”_*_ leader._
_And Paul taught his followers to be blind (not by sight) followers._
_Thus by Paul's own writings he is a blind leader of the blind._
"True word of God from the Bible makes you humble and righteous because God is divine"
Ironic, because I find most people who claim that are blowhards who attribute being humble and righteous to being unquestionable and unapproachable. Because god. What about god's word makes you either humble or righteous?
@@rageofheaven maybe you need to stop meeting "most" folks and meet the "right" folks, we all have a role to play in our interactions with others, maybe you need to change your approach, if the outcome is always the same? dunno...
Or it's quite possible they are self-righteous...well...thats not gonna work regardless.
I am not going to bore you with my life story but being unemployed in a 3rd world country yet I still have food and a roof over my head...it certainly humbles you, i have no other way to explain it...as being blessed by God through others. Thats how he manifests through the Holy Spirit.
I am still struggling with many things of the flesh i want to sacrifice not for my own gain, but His.
His inspired word teaches me more...and the more i "suffer"/ get humbled the more i feel His presence.
Putting your trust in people and building relationships is far less important than trusting and putting energy into building a relationship with God...i never did this as a younger man!
There is a reason your here watching this video, i wish you luck with your journey!

@Justin Gary Personally, I don’t believe what your saying about atheism is true. A lot of them love believers going to church if it brings them joy. Many atheists respect Christianity are are friends with Christians. If the atheists online are not kind, they’re not speaking for all. Many are kindhearted.
@Justin Gary The temple Jesus was talking about in Matthew 24, was when the temple was torn in two after His crucifixion from what I’ve heard. Could you give me the verses on the prophecy of Israel becoming a nation again ?

Short and informative. Thank you. It is alarming to see how many churches are heading this way. People just rebel against authority and create something that makes them comfortable. Let’s face it, scripture can make us very uncomfortable with our sin. As it should.
They dont like to repent and just try to flip God's word to fit their own agenda
It's actually such a big sign of the end times and a lot of repeating of the way Israel acted towards God, rebelling, moving past God, secularism in the church.

“Did God really say?...”. Powerful stuff.
God never said anything
@@TheBarser I pray for your sake you change your mind. Otherwise, God will indisputably say to you “Depart from me, for I never knew you”
@Richard Fox nope what
@@benjaminfisher750 If he wants me to follow him, he needs only to prove himself to me. But so far there is 0 evidence for any God/Gods.
@@TheBarser The Bible says the evidence is all around - in nature/gravity, creation, and I would argue the impossibility - not improbability - that any of this, or even you, could have formed without intelligent design. It is a statistical impossibility that even a 150-amino acid chain compromising just one of four life-sustaining hemoglobin subunits could have bonded in the specific order they have to function. Just one of four subunits. Consider that the alteration causing sickle cell anemia , a devastating change in shape to the cell resulting in pain and premature death, is from just ONE substitution at the seventh location in subunit B. Now consider the multitude of varied cells with their imperative functions that all had to form, at the same time and in their specific order, for you to have life. Much of that I learned in my RN education. None of that is not possible without God. The Bible says in Colossians 1:16-17 “For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him. He is before all things, and by Him all things consist (held together).” The Bible also says in Romans 1:19-20, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them (men); for God hath shewed it into them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, so they are without excuse”. You see my friend, the God of the Bible is showing Himself to you everyday by your very existence and the creation you’ve been surrounded with. Moreover, with the easiest reconciliation to our Creator made possible through the simple belief in Jesus Christ, it’s within your grasp to seize eternal life forever in heaven and avoid eternal damnation to hell.
This is something we need to guard against! This is excellent information, love the format.

@@extract8058 are you seriously saying that Jesus wasn't a Jew? LOL
@@scambammer6102 did Jesus practice Judaism or ever claim to be a jew? The answer is no.
Yea, by fulfilling the Jewish prophecy of the coming messiah I would say it’s safe to say He was a Jew. He was also born of a Jew into a Jewish family.
You sincerely don’t know ghat?
@@ianalan4367Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish synagogues. He preached from Jewish text (the Hebrew Bible). He celebrated the Jewish festivals. He went on pilgrimage to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where he was under the authority of priests.... He was born, lived, died, taught as a Jew. The gospels have no reference that Jesus was anything other than a Jew. Christianity did not exist when Jesus was alive.

I grew up, thought for myself, and became a God Worshipping traditional conservative.
Nice job. You expressed succinctly and clearly what I've been trying to formulate in my head about the natural digression that occurs when we no longer believe the historicity of Genesis 1-11.
“I warn everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to these, God will give that person the plagues written about in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away that person’s share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book.” - Revelation 22:18-19 ERV
Powerful statement!🙂
You don't have to "add" or "substact" anything to give it a different meaning.
Nothing is changed in Memento movie when you watch it the second time but after seeing the end of it, you can never unsee it again and the entire movie when watched again is completely different, yet the same.
Revelation, Apocalypse - it all means the same: to unhide something that was hidden. Once you do that, then everything will change, yet it will be the same: just two people looking at the same thing but seeing different things. Yet, internally, what this process of "plot twist" do to you is completely destroy you to tiny pieces and rebuilds you - you become unknown to your surrounding and the best you can do is be quiet because when you open your mouth and speak the truth you've learned, it's like a roar of the lion everyone wants to run away from, since it would, also, destroy them to little pieces and they'd have to rebuild themselves.
Like when you speak to flatearthers and speak the truth, show them evidence and they're left with: "my life's based on a lie and everything I know is wrong" or "f*** this assh*le and his BS, he's just part of conspiracy and I'm out of here".
Which is, of course, self preservation. Our knowledge is our life, our personality, any drastic change to it is better be avoided and people generally do it.
Whatever is your position on what New Testament is really talking about, I assure you, it's different than mine. And you couldn't stand the truth, same as flatearthers can't handle the truth or people can't handle lion's roar - you'd want it out of your face. Even NOW, with just s glimpse of it, you want it out of your face, out of your mind.
So, I'll grant you your wish and get out of here.

@@TheBarser yep , but the point is a true Christian knows the target 🎯 , hitting the middle is what we call PERFECTION , God is holy , God is Perfect . Imagine the target is his commandments ,the point is all about pointing your arrow to the target and going towards it . So Do progressive Christians goes towards the right direction? If you wanna know the commandments we have to read the Bible .The BIble tells of being holy and not sinning ,on the other side it is said we are humans and are not perfect . Paul said ,“we are striving towards perfection " keyword -striving . As a Christian , we do our best to follow his commandments . Which means we have to obey all of it or accept them . Unlike progressive Christianity . And yes the Bible said. “It is easier for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than for a rich man ." That does mean we have to be poor to be saved or to be rich to be saved . We are saved through faith and baptism in Christ alone . If you read Mat 19 , you will see it , about the rich man and from the verse I quoted , if you read further ,the disciple actually asked a question saying “who then can be saved ?" Jesus replied "with men this is impossible , but with God it is possible ".

Some of my favorite quotes here: "Letting go of historical doctrines is addictive… Once a person makes their own thoughts, feelings, and opinions the authoritative source for truth, their spirituality is going to reflect what they prefer rather than what is necessarily true… If you pick and choose what you want to believe, how will you ever have a God that can contradict you? [You instead] have a god of your own making."
No doubt.
This past week I was asking God what He wanted from me. Within a few nights I literally heard actual real Angels singing about testifying His Name.
All of Heaven sings about the name of Jesus. Jesus lived a perfect life and never sinned. Those who know the Bible know how impossible it is to follow all of it without making a mistake. Jesus was able to follow all of the Bible fully without ever making one mistake. He was able to do that because He is the very essence of God. God is the hero of this story. He showed all of creation that only His Nature can overcome all sin and death. Even without all His power and Glory, Jesus who is God overcame all sin. He rose from the dead and revealed Himself to people including me. I have seen Jesus and when I called on His Name He answered. Because He answered I will make myself a fool for Him. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me because Jesus is real and when I was in His presence I was blown away by His Love and Majesty. Those who don’t know Jesus do not know Life. Jesus is Life and only in Him are we made whole and complete. Only in Him do we find forgiveness of sin.
God answered my prayer when I asked Him what He wanted me to do. He sent Angels singing to testify His Name. He wants me to testify. Hope this testimony encouraged you 🙏 🐑
Awesome work
3:15 that is an interesting form of morality, and thats the only way I can see secular morality working, as that is extremely relative and subjective. I really prefer an objective form of morality however, since that is closer to reality.
@@JamesRichardWiley Have you ever wondered where that golden rule comes from? Or... Do you already know?
You just said in the same breath that you cant follow it, meanwhile you just said you do, at least in part. Its not like that concept was lifted from somewhere else, the orgin of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is in Mathew 7:12. You condradict yourself.
How so? Both the theist and the atheist first pick their standard and from that morality comes. It's just that the theist picks God's word as the standard and the atheist mostly pick something like 'human wellbeing' or so. Given the weird and terrrible stuff from in the former, I'd rather pick the latter.
@@Zeus-bn3nc Well the theist has an unchanging, and non-contradictive standard of morality. If there's a moral grey area we have texts to turn to, so that we can see what is morrally correct, objectively. To an atheist, its the whims of their own feelings, whatever "feels" moral, which is subject to much weirder, and much more terrible stuff than theism. There's no text backing it, so atheists have no real reason to remain consistent.
@@Yipper64 Morality for the atheist needs an axiomatic goal; everything else follows from that. It's not on a whim or what feels good.
Morality for the theist needs an axiomatic goal too; usually that is to follow scriptural morality, whether that is God's word or not.
The only thing you can change is the axiomatic goal, but you always need that. So you can never say one's morality is objective, truly. It is only ever objective within the chosen framework of the goal.
@@Zeus-bn3nc Ok, so how can a goal be axiomatic, who says when a goal is self-evident, or unquestionable? Because if that goal is given by a person, it is certainly questionable. Why would any person not be questionable? God is unquestionable, and so having goals that alighn with God are the only truly axomatic goals.

Eventually he’s released from the POW camp and comes home. He is eager to see her and spend time with her.
She’s too busy rereading old letters to have a relationship with him.
Jesus is real. He’s willing to have a relationship with us.

Looking back, I can see that truth was chipping away at my original approach. I had to readjust my focus, but I was never progressive, if that makes sense
"Progressive" is just a euphemism for Kosher. Nowhere in the Bible did Christ claim to be a kosherite.

How can you be certain that Christianity is true and all other religions in the world are false? Google tells me there's some 4300 total religions in the world. Have you studied the teachings of all of them?
You don't need to study many religions but many have done it and came to the conclusion that Jesus is the Truth. Christianity changed the world and brought the most progress to humanity and the Bible is the most important work of literature in human history.

@AMM777 incorrect. There are transitional forms, or at least, creatures whose fossils show an evolutionary link between, say, dinosaurs and birds. The Archaeopteryx and the Pedopenna show that the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds is a well supported claim. However, that doesn't mean there should thousands of transitional forms. Not every living mammal is connected to every other one. It's in an interconnected web. Also, the laws of science break down when we go from the macroscopic to the microscopic. Conservation of mass and energy, two of the most fundamental laws of physics, are broken when we measure the masses of a radioactive nucleus and it's daughter nuclei. Classical physics fails at the singularity because it's just that small. That doesn't mean a creator is necessary. We don't know whether it was a sentient creator or not. I'm open to the possibility of one, but that doesn't mean I'm going to live my life based on conjecture. And you actually don't think evolution is true? The principles of natural selection? There's proof of evolution everywhere. The new coronavirus variants that plague India. The fact that insects developed thicker shells and more resistant nerve cells when DDT was used on them. The muscle plamaris Longus that's absent in 14 percent of the human population. The weird thing some people can do by wiggling their ears. They're all things that were necessary for our ancestors, but not for us. Furthermore, let's assume an omnipotent god actually did create us. Why did he give us an appendix, or wisdom teeth? For fun? I'm dubious as to your claims about Lucy and the other evidence, so I'll research them. But dude, evolution is real.
@AMM777 the piltdown man was a fraudulent piece of evidence made by an amateur archaeologist. It isn't and never was archaeological evidence. However, your claim that they reconstructed Lucy based on a tooth is incredibly incorrect. They had multiple bones from across the body. Also, your claim of fossils of a man with arthritis being used as scientific proof are also wholly incorrect. I've tried looking for it, but all I've seen are 50,000 and 45,000 year old fossils found in France in 1909 and 1908. One of them was an elderly male, yes, but a neanderthal nonetheless. What other so called evidence do you have against evolution?
You are absolutely correct in this assessment. I have witnessed all three of the factors you mention. Those factors are a big problem among Progressive Christians. I have a former colleague (and most likely now a former friend) who has embraced many radically-leftist views. When we taught together at a conservative Christian school, she seemed to be a tad on the liberal side, but I was never really worried about her. She seemed mostly solid spiritually and she was someone I was glad to work and talk with. I really liked her and considered her a friend for years. That was 16 years ago. Since then, she has become a leader for a SJW group in her community. Her SJW group totally embraces the cult of "wokeism." As part of that process, she routinely berates conservative Christians who advocate traditional views of marriage and sexuality. She boldly chastises those who are critical of the Trans Movement. She routinely defends groups such as ANTIFA, and has praised the Marxist group that (in her words) "protected" her SJW group at one of their protests. For at least 10 years now, I have often thought that there were few or no differences between her FB posts and those of an atheist I know who actively and virulently hates religion in general and Christianity in particular. Though I think it is still a low probability, I am honestly a little afraid she is capable of becoming violent for her leftist causes. I finally severed all ties with her for both of our sakes. We simply had no common ground for any type of discussion or even a friendship any more. I would not trust her with the instruction of students. All that was left were angry arguments. She makes me sad, and I pray for her.
You are right about a personal opinion stuff. I've seen that in my own life

“Don’t mold the world to fit the Bible, mold the Bible to fit the world”
In other words… don’t try to cram reality into the Bible.. you must cram the Bible into reality.
Okay...
That’s not exactly the idea. The Bible is a lens in which we view the world through. So when something happens in the world you need to have the Bible as a foundation, not the current political or socioeconomic view.
As always with things like this, it comes down to the question of what do you say about the man called Jesus?
It more like “submit to Gods Word as the authority and ultimate truth, not the world”. Either way you are the one serving your worldview, not the other way around… we are either slaves to the apathetic, fruitless or evil idols of this world, or slaves to Christ who knows us better than we know ourselves and laid his life down for his flock.
@@markbrandonpowell9908 As I said,
“Don’t cram reality to fit the Bible, cram the Bible to fit reality”
*If* the Bible said the earth was flat and the earth is actually round, you take reality that the earth is round rather than flat
That’s what a lot of Christians do… science for example; evolution in particular, people mold reality to fit the Bible, hence people believe we were literally created directly, Christians will sit there and deny evolution without taking the facts of reality into consideration
Christians believe we were created directly “molding reality to fit the Bible”

Spot on! I believe that a correct understanding of the Deut 32 worldview provides answers to many skeptic's questions (including the question of evil) covering as it does the sovereignty of God while maintaining the autonomy of man as he makes his way through a world run by miscreant would-be gods.
Satan was unleashed from Hell in 1864. He gave much power to the heretical Ego-Saxon world.

So, why would you follow a false prophet? The false prophesies of SDA founder show that SDA is false and should not be followed. I wonder why the Christian cults have such a problem with that simple understanding?? Someone makes prophesy (or more than one) if ANY do not come true, prophet = false = not of God = do not listen to ANYTHING they have to say. Easy peasy.
@@bairfreedom Exactly. 'We recognize a tree by its fruits'. - Jesus. If one want to understand the 20th century, I suggest one reads the message of La Salette, given by the Virgin Mary in 1846 to Mélanie Mathieu and Maximin Giraud. We now have 175 years of historical proofs and accuracy.
Personally, I believe anyone who willingly walks away from Jesus Christ...
Never had Jesus Christ in their hearts to begin with...
Sometimes he lets us walk away to learn a lesson only to bring us back later in life so that we may help others who are thinking of walking away or to lead those back who are trying to find their way.
The bible teaches people can have true faith, a real walk with God, but then choose to leave Him. "Once saved always save" is a false teaching that the 1st century church did not believe because Jesus and the apostles never taught it.
Hebrews 6:4-6 NASB
"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, [5] and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, [6] and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame."
Here we see they were actually ENLIGHTENED first before they fell away. God doesn't force us to stay with Him.
I used to think that was the one and only answer too, but then again the world can trick people into thinking they no longer believe. It can hurl things like illness, poverty, or emotional distress at people and try to shroud their faith. Ultimately, though, God's word calls the sinner to repent. I pray he calls this wayward son back!
.
Satan is the father of lies. Many who say they "no longer believe" may be fooling themselves. Time will tell. If disaster strikes and they come running back to the cross, we will know where their trust truly lies. Even Peter denied Jesus three times and yet was called back and restored.
I really like your last comment. “Did God really say?”. I hadn’t really considered it in the context of when we feel like pushing the boundaries of rules/laws, telling “white lies” etc. That those 4 words are echoing in your soul before, during and after you’ve done something you know you shouldn’t have
Profound video. Wow, so true.
The Bible isn't perfect, due to translation issues. But, it's still an essential witness of God's dealings with us, His children, and most important its narrative for the need of a Messiah, manifested in the account in the NT of Christ teachings, atonement, and resurrection. Post Christians who dismiss the divinity of Christ's teachings because they have issues understanding the rest of the Bible in my view are making a rationalization to live according to the world's easy morality than God's. Another thing to keep in mind, while this world we live in is real, its not the reality that God has in store of us. We originally came from a paradise, in His presence, the garden of Eden. This fallen world we now reside, is a temporary reality.
No, the bible is the perfect everlasting word of God, the translation is sometimes not perfect, it's wrong to say " the bible isn't perfect", it's God's word, and God doesn't have flaws
@@joshkenedy8828 Which Bible then? There are hundreds, if not thousands of versions. They all cannot be error free, as translation from ancient Hebrew and Greek, in our English vernacular.

I like you and the way you talk , with power and the weight of eternity standing. the regency of your s peach . you know in who you believe. if I were a lost soul you would have my attention. when I was last I knew there was a god but I didn’t respect him . I was a lost sinner fool . lots of people were afraid of me . preachers and religious folks were not were not much to me and I could be tough to deal with . I will tell you now the saddest thing my wife to told me . during this time in my life I could be loving, kind , compassionate but I could be mean, rotten, violent but not to my family. afew months after she was saved and joined a local church some of the preacher/ decons came to visit me . my wife answered the door and they told her they wanted to talk to me about Jesus and salvation , she said I would rather you not right now because I don’t know how he will react or what he will do. I know she ment well and I was unpredictable sometimes it was like a beast was inside me . they convenced her to let them see me. I was in the basement working they gave the plan of salvation. to be honest I really wanted them to leave. sometimes I would cuss and rare and let them have it , but this day my inside told me leave them alone. something about these people encased them and was overwhelming peace. although I didn’t get saved that day but did weals after to the glory of god . I found out what that was around these visitors it was power. some church members would try to talk to me about religion and I would make it a point to give them a hard road. but once in a while one or two would see me and I was yes ma’am, no ma’am, the thing engulfing their being and lives demanded my respect and attention. it was power, godly power. there are a lot of professing Christians who have no power . I thank god , the savior, his spirit and my wonderful wife of 42 years they never gave up on me. I close in saying thank god for saving me by his grace and the resurrection of Jesus Christ my lord and savior. nana and papa the little country preacher.

The "Sovereignty of God" is a Calvinist doctrine, not found in the Bible. Yet it is very popular today, as an escape mechanism for many Christians who don't want to take responsibility for the consequences of their action. God, in fact, controls very little. He has given that control to us. Thus, "I stand at the door and knock. If any man opens the door, I will come in." Rev 3.

Praise freedom of religion, thought and speech.
So we all got to backtrack to Catholicism. We have been progressing for over 2000 years and this is what it has brought us to.
3:25 onwards actually explains what happens when man without authority tries to reinterpret scripture throughout the ages and drift away from the teachings and traditions of the early Christians.
Different with the Catholics. They did not carry on tradition, they ADDED it. Then throughout the years they kept adding more and more and more "tradition" till Christ was not there anymore and most Catholics don't even know scripture, they just follow church orders.
@@bairfreedom This is consistent fallacy that most people don't understand and is constantly propagated out of ignorance because the hate is so bad that people won't even try to get to know more about what the Catholic faith teaches.
Christ is the centre of everything. Everything is to get closer to Christ. The most important thing is the Eucharist, the breaking of bread and wine to do it in memory of him. Marian intercession is also to take us closer to Christ. The life of the saints are reflected upon to help us emulate some of what they did or practiced to be more Christ like in human form.
Even with different opinions the tenants of the universal church were agreed by reflecting on scripture doing what present secular and biblical scholars have done to investigate the accuracy of the gospels and scripture, the unwritten tradition belived and practiced by people passed through the 200 years at the council of nicea and later practiced it in both Eastern and western catholic churches with subtle differences being in the rite of mass. So what was set in stone then, is still consistent to this day.
@@bairfreedom Also with respect to not knowing scripture, that is false as well. There are Catholics well versed with scripture, however there are also Catholics who are not. It all boils down to how much a person really invests in growing one's faith. You will also find people in other denominations who don't invest in one's faith.
Even Frank Turek is a progressive Christian He does not believe in a six-day creation. He said in a video I watched on his channel that he did not know how long ago the dinosaurs lived.
Tim keller had a book on romans that helped me in Gods sovereignty on salvation (not faith in my faith but faith in the work of Jesus that is unchanging)..... But now I believe he is slowly opening the door to progressive Christianity as he seeks to look at the issue of racism/social justice in a worldly way while pretending to be biblical about it... He himself is slipping into the very things he warned of. Anyway great points and truly we must watch our doctrine.
Progressive Christianity strikes me as natural adaptation for _a_ Christianity that seeks to avoid cancellation.
A side note.. It is rather amusing hearing that progressives approach the bible, like many "old school" Christians approach science.
Have a nice weekend.
