When it comes to the Christian left

[Billy]

Do you believe that they are really born-again Christians?

Do you believe they are sincere in their faith towards Christ?

Do you believe they misunderstand scripture to justify their position?


Thanks,


Billy

That's above my pay grade.  That goes for the Christian right, too.

Do you believe that they are really born-again Christians?  that's between them & the Lord...though I have no reason to doubt their testimony

Do you believe they are sincere in their faith towards Christ?  Yes...most that I know

Do you believe they misunderstand scripture to justify their position? Yes...for the most part


Thanks,


Billy

Susie Meister as quoted in the link below:

What happened, however, wasn?t an abandonment of my faith, but a shift in my understanding of Scripture. [?] The more I read the text through unfiltered eyes and the more I learned about scholarly investigation, the less sense their point of view made. Their old Jesus looked nothing like my new Jesus.

Only after my doctrinal evolution did I realize I no longer aligned with the political conservatism for which I once literally campaigned. Jesus was a champion of the poor, the weak, the meek, and downtrodden. He encouraged his followers to ?sell their possessions? and give them to the poor. He hung out with hookers and crooks. The lifestyle of Jesus didn?t look anything like the politics of the Right.

Yes.

Yes.

No. I don't think they are misunderstanding Scripture in order to justify their position. They actually believe their position is Scriptural.  Just like the IFBX'er doesn't believe they are misunderstanding Scripture in their beliefs.

If one assumes there is a christian "left" then one would have to assume there is a christian "right". To make a proper decision one have to know what the differences are. But that's just me.
