I am categorically opposed to the liberal church in all its forms. Some may argue that if I am not politically liberal (not true - I am a Gladstonian liberal) then it is unlikely that I would favour a liberal attitude in the Church and I can certainly see some logic in that.
The principal reason I oppose the liberal side of Christianity however, is because in most cases, to belong to the liberal church, it is necessary to downgrade the authority of the Scriptures. There is an abundance of evidence that the political and social attitudes displayed are based on the foundation that 'Mankind knows best' and the Bible is used selectively or not at all. Consider the damage done by Bultmanism. Whatever happened to faith?
The worrying thing is that I spent a while surfing the net under different headings two days ago and the proliferation of 'liberal' sites was scary. Under general Christian headings rather than specifically evangelical ones the liberal sites were there by the shedload.'Real' Christianity was outnumbered.
This typically leftwing, multifaith, multicultural trend is undermining Christianity by taking a 'Love your neighbour' attitude and God is welcome to enter the equation but only provided that He meets the criteria imposed upon Him by these infidels.
Sadly, even the 'Love your neighbour' seems to have been reduced to following outmoded socialistic principles which in practice, hardly help anybody's neighbour at all!
