Summary

Please notice that the heart of progressive Christian distortions of Christianity is NOT a careful interpretation of the Bible but emotion-filled shaming. This clip is from a recent interview I did on Alisa Childers' channel. I took that interview and broke it down into topical videos dealing with the 23 different claims made by the "progressive Christian" Ragamuffin TV. You'll see a new video EVERY DAY until the whole series is uploaded. 0:00 intro 0:18 to SKIP intro Here's a link where you can see EVERY video in this series (as they go up) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHstu7p_vncGknpVhWp9uxc1 Here are the links to the long form interviews which are on Alisa's channel Part 1 https://youtu.be/wVLLuyN-Ezo Part 2 https://youtu.be/CoBW3LY8xiw

0:00.0	You're watching one of a series of videos where Elisa Childers and I respond to 23 progressive Christian claims,
0:07.0	kind of like a progressive Christian manifesto that was written by Ragamuffin TV.
0:11.9	We deal with these claims, some good, some bad, some ugly, and I'm hoping
0:16.4	that this helps you to think biblically.
0:19.2	Very good.
0:20.2	Okay, number 17.
0:21.2	God is not holding a gun to anyone's head saying if you don't believe in Jesus
0:25.7	he's going to damn you to a literal hell for all eternity. That would not make God
0:30.6	loving and that would mean Jesus was lying when he told us to forgive
0:34.7	70 times 7 and to forgive our enemies. So there's two kind of two claims in there.
0:39.1	He's saying for God to basically say he's going to damn you to a literal hell would make him not loving and then we can deal with the part about it
0:48.2	Apparently making Jesus into a liar. So what would you say to that first part? Yeah, he's God's not holding a
0:58.0	gun to anyone's head saying if you don't believe in Jesus he's going to

1:04.1	Well the problem here is is just the caricature, right?
1:08.1	So this isn't about theology, this is about caricature.
1:12.0	This isn't about what are the conditions through which we
1:14.7	would be condemned or be saved. That's not the question here. It's it's God's
1:18.2	holding a gun which makes him a bad guy. Yeah. So in other words God is not a bad villain who is threatening you. And to that I agree. Okay, that is that is
1:29.2	pardon me. That is definitely a caricature and a wrong understanding of what like a
1:33.3	biblical teaching of this would be, but I think the scriptural
1:36.4	understanding is this is that it's your sin that brings you into God's judgment and
