Conservative Christian VS Liberal Christian

Poohbear

Fearfully Wonderfully Made
How do you decided whether or not you are a Conservative Christian or a Liberal Christian? Is it certain issues (like abortion, homosexual marriage, etc.) or does it depend on your perception on certain sins in the Bible? Whatever it is, explain why you are a Conservative Christian or a Liberal Christian. Thanks in advance.
 
conservative.

do not support/approve of the homosexual agenda, pro-life, don't watch horror/scary movies, no longer listen to rap & R&B-- only gospel and christian music, no cursing/blasphemy, etc... lots more, may post when the come to mind ;)

conservative christian v.s liberal christian in biblical terms really means "on-fire for Christ" v.s. LUKEWARM.

IMHO,
:):)

There is only one type of Christian. If you believe the bible you are a Christian, if you do not you are only one that has "read the bible and believe some parts of it to be true".

Sola scriptura ("by scripture alone") The Bible is the only infallible or inerrant authority for Christian faith, and that it contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness
 
I would think :giggle: a conservative Christian would not just read the New Testament, but actually ADHERE to it.

A liberal Christian would read the New Testament, and then do the complete opposite of EVERYTHING they read...

How's that? :giggle:

Frankly, Conservatives don't try to 'remake' God. God is who He says He is and that settles it. When Jesus says "Follow Me", that was Conservatives respect and set out to do.

Liberals, what to be 'God's god. Remake Him to fit into their image and fit into their agenda. They want God to follow 'them, instead of they following Him.'
 
defenitely conservative, but adding to what everyone has said here, i'll say you know you're conservative when the majority doesn't do what you do, when the majority doesn't like you and what you say...

unfortunately in this world, EVEN some liberals will call themselves conservatives because they say Jesus Jesus Jesus, or God God God because they're convinced what they do is written, when it's not and withouth realising it they serve a God that doesn't exist, making him say what they want. There's no comfort in the world for Christians, there's no fleshly confort in the Word.

The world is in bad shape, but yeah mostly when the world doesn't consider you part of it, and hates you or just puts you aside, and when you can see sin in everything wordly lol, then you're real

ok i know this forum and i'll add the disclaimer that my comment is not aimed at anyone here, i do have a life outside of the forum and know some people like that lol

In a nutshell Shimmie - they want to be God's god. I am stealing that one... so if you see the quote pop up in another thread remember I am giving you your credit now. :look:
 
YES, I LOVE The BIBLE. And when the answer is in, I am not searching further. If you read Revelation (chapters 2 and 3), The Letters to [FONT=&quot]the Loveless Church, the Persecuted Church, the Compromising Church, the Corrupt Church, the Dead Church, the Faithful Church, the Lukewarm Church - these letters describe the conservative and the liberal Christian.

2: 2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. 6 … you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 …Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 13 “I know your works… And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith..
3: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.



2: 4 … you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works… 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
3: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot. I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Why is it always down to homosexuality and abortion?

it's just one way like many others to "get" where the person is in their faith, since they're mostly yes no topics, if you know where they stand on those topics, you know a lot about the person

as much as hip hop, pants, short hair make up tattoos short skirts fornication or divorce anything you can think of, these two are just so widespread and "trivialised" now they're common topics... i'd put divorce with those two though
 
Why is it always down to homosexuality and abortion?
I think because these are the main issues when it comes to Christians and politics. From what I have gathered from people I have met, liberal Christians are for abortion and conservative Christians are against abortion. I also know there are Christians that are for homosexual unions or think it's ok to be homosexual when the Bible clearly speaks against it.

Add fornication to that list. The bible is clear on these matters. How can one say the word of God is our instruction manual and then pick and choose what applies to his or her life. The term liberal Christian cancels itself out by definition alone.

Thanks for sharing. I agree that would be a conservative Christian...

Also, your post sparked another question...

Can a Christian still consider themselves conservative if they are pro-life, against the homosexual agenda, against sin period, and they pray, read their bible, attend church...BUT they listen to rap/hip-hop/r&b music and watch movies? Or would that be a Lukewarm Christian? And if we all sin and fall short of God's glory, would everyone be considered a Lukewarm Christian?

Actually, I agree. The OP questioned just what makes a conservative or liberal. I'd like to know the definitions. I don't think liberal necessarily means one agrees with homosexuality. But I don't know because no one answered the question. I think she was asking within the context of true believers of the faith...according to scripture. I'm sure there are liberals versus conservatives. For me, I'm orthodox and protestants are liberals but they are both christians who follow faithfully. Just what actually makes one conservative and one liberal, abortion and homosexuality excluded?

See now it's a matter of convictions v command. There are things God commands us to do and there are things that individually via prompting of the Holy Spirit we are advised not to do. I can't listen to a lot of secular music but it's due to conviction, not law.

I think Christians should not concentrate their WHOLE faith on abortion and homosexuality. It makes me think that many people believe as along as you disagree with these things, you are a "true" believer. What about prostitution, sexual slavery, physical slavery, the homeless, widow, orphan, poor immigrants, the depressed/mentally ill? Why dont we talk about those things as much?

And about abortion: Let's say you are against abortion...what about serving mothers who decided to have their child, but is unable to raise them? Shouldn't we encourage helping these women instead of just saying "no" to abortion?

Some people claim "liberal" Christians are less likely to believe in the Resurrection of Christ.
 
i'm not a conservative or liberal christian, i'm just a christian. my political views lean to the conservative end of the spectrum. for me the two are separate. my religious beliefs do not change, my political choices do.

Maybe one should make a list of what is considered liberal and conservative? I thought it had more to do with how one is living out the faith, not which "sins" one is allowing to into the faith to be practiced freely.

I agree with Ramya on this one... certain issues are ones of santification.

My Christian walk today is a far cry from where it was 5 years ago... shoot 5 months ago because of the santifying power of the Holy Spirit.

:barf:

Respectfully, I hate that mindset, we can't decide for people who is lukewarm or who isn't just because they go through different motions...
