Age of Jesus and the Apostles
“Liberal Theologians saw themselves as “saviors” of a defunct, out-of-date Christianity. They dismissed or re-interpreted Scripture to make it more acceptable to modern world.
Reductive Liberalism: reduced orthodox beliefs to “least common denominator” that anyone in the modern world could accept (led to Ecumenicalism)
Denominationally speaking, the Reformation was to “fission” as the 20th century was to “fusion”
Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus said…
“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.
“For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.
