Christian Answers of Austin

Pastor Greg Van Court of Dayspring Fellowship in Austin, TX at https://dsf.org/ begins his detailed lecture concerning the three major theological movements in the American church in the Twentieth Century & beyond of Liberalism, Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism.10:12 - Importance of the Word of God, the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work."14:38 - The Roman Catholic Church officially ceases to be a true Christian church at the Council of Trent which was held from 1545 to 1563.20:01 - Fast forward to the early modern movements of theological liberalism, fundamentalism & evangelicalism beginning at the turn of the Twentieth Century.20:50 - Liberal theology (LT) emphasizes personal reason and experience over the Bible. It is seeking to liberate people from bondage to God's word & shift their attention to other theories for unbelief in the Bible. It's a progressive alternative to original Christianity so as to replace Scriptural authority. It seeks openness to man centered reason & speculations instead of Biblical truth.Liberal theology (LT) values modern intellectual inquiry & doubt.LT often rejects traditional interpretations of the Bible and sacred tradition. LT is a rejection of traditional views of Jesus.LT generally views Jesus as just a man like other men, rather than some imaginary atonement for sin to an imaginary Holy God Who judges people for the way they live.28:29 - LT began in Germany mainly by Friedrich Schleiermacher (born: November 21, 1768
