What A Progressive Christian Blog Is All About

By Olive Pate


Most Christians believe the same thing when it comes to their faith. A progressive Christian blog tells you more about what one stands for, but it is slightly different from the average Christian and they may have something to say about this. There are many personal blogs supporting this movement as well as those by Christians who are obviously against the movement. One thing to remember about a Christian is Biblically, judgement should not be part of your everyday life.

A progressive Christian is more concerned about society and about the environment. They want to make sure that things are clean, so they will rather attend to things like recycling. A Christian will hopefully make sure that this is done naturally in their own home and this is what they encourage others to do. However, they will not see the environment as the main aspect of their faith. Having a relationship with God would maybe replace this.

The progressive Christian move away from the Biblical school of thought where one will provide food for the hungry, for example. Instead they believe in looking after the environment. They also want to make a different in the social justice system. Not all secular Christians believe that this is the way to go.

The biggest part of progression is that they have no problem with all of the other faiths and this is what is so different from basic Christianity. Their view is that it is all good and well to have beliefs with many other Gods. To other Christians of the secular nature this does not make sense to them because one can only serve one God.

The Christian believes in Jesus and the Jewish person doesn't. The Eastern faiths are also different and have other Gods. One can't have a multitude of Gods that you have relationships with. There are different guides that go along with the various religions as well, and one can't look at the Bible and the Torah on a day to day basis to get you through the day, for example.

The average Christian is not supposed to judge faiths like Buddhism, for example. However one is supposed to follow your chosen faith and be dedicated to it. Progressive Christianity is saying that everything is true and therefore there are different Gods that you can follow. The true Christian only has one God that they are dedicating their life to and following like a friend. All Gods can't be right because they state different things in life.

One should follow a faith along with a basic guide. This movement doesn't go by the Bible and is more focused on social justice and the environment. It is still fairly new and one can see that they are experimenting with the way in which they handle certain things in the way in which they operate.

This is not something which builds up a personal relationship with God. One can start to see that it is very different from the principles that Christians stand for. They do not believe in helping the poor or underprivileged, like the Bible says you should. Christians have also been taught not to judge, so one can't push this movement aside, but it has to be accepted, like everything else in life.
