Does being a liberal mean your a progressive

Do you have to be progressive in order to be a liberal?
By Russell Le Masters

"a fool despises wisdom and instruction" King Solomon

I have a Disqus account.
I tried to look up the conversation and only parts of it are found there but not the specific discussion I'm mentioning. Why bring it up? This is person called me an atheist my response was I'm a Christian Humanist. If you look up the term it suggests that I would be a progressive. As a reformer that would insult the very foundation of my faith which has a theological tone to it. Modern Liberal are progressives. Their foundation has a natural philosophical tone to it. I support freedom of Religion and the right to evangelize at the same time. My Goal is to study theology not to become a pastor but to be a better Christian if the LORD permits. Classical Liberals are not libertarians because that leads to human autonomy. This aforementioned by product leads to the destruction of society as seen today. Liberty and freedom has only one true source that is the Holy and undivided Trinity alone. God permits a people to speak multiple languages Genesis 10. The tyrant seeks to control its populace with only one language Genesis 11. In conclusion I'm a liberal of the humanist persuasion under the TH mindset.       

Children are both a gift and blessing from GOD

By Gman4326
Genesis 4:1-2 P.R.T

1 Later man knew his wife Eve and conceived a son Cain; wife named Eve said this I have obtained a son by the Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground

Genesis 17:15-17 KJV
¹⁵ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. ¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. ¹⁷ Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
1 Samuel 1:11-20 Story of Hannah
Luke 1:13 Zechariah and Elizabeth

Duties of a parent
To Educate
Exodus 13:8-9
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Proverbs 1:7-8

To discipline the child:

No where in the bible does it state that children are the property of the State.

What is liberty?

By Gman4326

"Liberty is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is liberty to that which is good, just, and honest". John Winthrop 1st Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

This is a two-fold statement. In a Christian Society liberty is a gift from God. The authority desires what? A prosperous society. The tyrant seeks what? The destruction of its citizens desire to live freely (1 Samuel 8). When Adam our first father sinned all of us were born into sin (Romans 5:12-17; 1 Corinthians 15:22; Genesis 3) Liberty also became more difficult. How so? It requires learning of ethics, logic and reason, learning the limitations of what good civil government is, church and the familial. This lends to the latter end of the statement. Not to mention the learning of multiple languages then using such in everyday life. In modern America it easier to suggest that if you went to school that you know the language pardon me that is a simple cop-out. Now does this mean forcing others to go beyond their comfort levels by no means. However the consequence is simple they will have to answer to God just like I will one day. The word of God is authoritative. But in our society we have chosen the easy path that leads to the destruction of this once great experiment. The Bible is a mere philosophy book among others. Secularists are demanding us to keep our mouths shut. They understand what is at stake. The return to what Governor Winthrop spoke of in the 17th century.             

Column on the Easter holiday

By Gman4326

In a previous article on all ^!language is religious this continues the conversation concerning the term Easter and its origin. Yes we high jacked the word from the creators from the said group. We define it as the day the tomb lies empty. On a day in April of 33 AD Christ rose from the day. * Eostare: goddess of spring in the Anglo Saxon pagan religion. In early English the word was changed from eostare to Ēastrun by catholic wordsmiths.

Is the term accepted universally? Each body of believers has its own church government some will use the term and add it to its liturgical calendar, a different church will have a different name and others will reject the holiday all together. The basic overall answer is, no.

What other terms are used other than Easter? Resurrection day and the other is Lord's day.

Is there symbolism involved with the holiday? There is Easter eggs, the Easter bunny, church goers wearing spring clothes weather permitting. The basic answer is, yes.

Should we redefine pagan words to have Christian meaning to them? So long as language exists people will redefine words in order to give them meaning and value? The basic answer is, yes.

When it happens are these individuals have immoral motives behind their actions? One group will hide their true motives until it is too late. Another group will not hide their motives and will be criticized for it.

Immortal motives how? By lying and sometimes the use of tradition developed in the local culture to defend their actions. 

Criticized how? There will be verbal opposition, which include the use of colorful language. Books on how the language is unique to this particular society and it need to be left alone. Some will give the silent treatment in the form of polite persecution.

Have a happy Easter.
