Progressive or Revisionist???

Progressive or Revisionist??? <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Many liberal/progressive Christians believe that the Bible was written by individuals in ancient times who were promoting their own evolving spiritual beliefs, but who were severely limited by their tribal culture and by their lack of scientific knowledge.  Many liberals believe that it is important to recognize that many biblical passages contain factual errors and that many do not reflect the will of God. They reject what the Bible&#39;s authors have to say on topics such as genocide, origins of species and of the universe, human slavery, the suppression and oppression of women, treatment of persons with a homosexual or bisexual orientation, religious intolerance, torturing prisoners, the death penalty, treatment of religious minorities, spanking children, executing non-virgin brides, and other laws and actions considered immoral by today&#39;s secular and religious standards.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/inerrant.htm" target=_top>http://www.religioustolerance.org/inerrant.htm</a> <BR> <BR>Progressive liberals want the Bible to say what they know today, what modern science says, what modern evolutionary thought is. Yet is that what God intended for His Word or the harmony presented, not unison, but harmony. Harmony sounds different when sung properly. It means different people sing different notes, but together it is a beautiful song.
