Summary

You can't just take whatever you don't like and call it a metaphor for a metaphor. At least not if you want to have intellectual integrity in your religious beliefs. I think the reason progressives redefine words is because they want the appearance of Christianity but without it's meaning. The claim of being Christian without the burden of following the teachings of Christ. Changing the meanings of words is sadly just a rejection of Christian teachings. 0:00 intro 0:18 to SKIP intro 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.

0:00.0	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

0:23.8	Wrath of God and Hell aren't literal.
0:26.8	They are metaphors for swimming against the flow of God's love.
0:40.9	I just want to acknowledge how good that feels. Right? Didn't that feel good? Wow, like I honestly, all the tension I have between me and non-Christians becomes just it just disappears because I'm like
0:43.6	hey man you're just swimming against the flow of God's love like I don't have to worry
0:47.4	about telling you like God's gonna judge you for your sin I'm just like you're
0:51.4	swimming against the flow of God's love. The irony is that he says
0:54.2	wrath of God in hell. They're a metaphor for and then he offers a metaphor.
0:59.2	Right, right. Oh yeah, that's a great point. For a metaphor?
1:03.2	Yeah.
1:04.5	What does that mean?
1:07.2	Yeah, it's ironic.
1:08.7	You take something here that's not a metaphor.
