Episode notes
Denial of Jesus' Divinity
- Progressive Christians generally deny Jesus' divinity, viewing him as one among many messiahs rather than God incarnate.
- Denying his divinity undermines key Christian truths like salvation, resurrection, and judgment.
Virgin Birth Denial
- Progressive Christians commonly reject the virgin birth, attributing it to myth or alternative historical explanations.
- Without the virgin birth, the theological basis for Jesus being fully God and fully man collapses.
Progressive Rejection of Miracles
- Progressive Christians adopt anti-supernaturalist views, rejecting miracles as violations of natural laws.
- Removing miracles from Scripture undermines the Bible's truth and Jesus' divine authority.
