Christians Might Be Crazy

NON-CHRISTIAN CHRISTIANS

A growing number of people who profess to be Christians have beliefs that are often at odds with historical biblical Christianity. What began as the Emergent Church many years ago has expanded to include so-called Red Letter Christians, Progressive Christians, Inclusive or Accepting Evangelicals, Spiritual but not Religious folks, and others. The sentiments driving these groups seem to be an underlying current of deep dissatisfaction with Christianity combined with an unwillingness to abandon it in total. In the meantime, expect their efforts to be trumpeted as prophetic acuity by the left, and pathetic apostasy by the right. Time will tell, but maybe a new religious wineskin will even emerge much like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons in the past, claiming to still be Christian but rejected by mainstream Christianity.

Perhaps the research captured a sentiment and mood regarding historical biblical Christianity that existed a few years ago that is now welding into a moral, political, and spiritual coalition because of the current political and social pressure.

This is all made possible by such things as blogging, social media, and other platforms which allows people to gather into hives online with their own version of the Queen Bee. At times, multiple hives can then swarm together like bees to attack a common enemy. For most people, a bee sting or two is not a deadly. Hundreds of stings, however, is an entirely different matter. So, it is in our digital day where hate, intolerance, and fear are on the rise. These subjects will be the focus of the next blog.
