vergiss said:The Nicene Creed?
SouthernDemocrat said:Conservative Christians are those who believe that the Bible is a science book. Liberal or Moderate Christians believe that the Bible is inerrant, but its not a science book.
The litmus test for Christianity is the Nicene Creed if you believe it, you are a Christian, if you don't, you are not.

KevinWan said:OK... no... Conservative Christians do not believe the Bible is a science book. This, again, is simply Christian-Right bashing.
Conservative Christians simply BELIEVE in Christianity, which at times may contradict science, and hence they do not believe in those aspects of science.
SouthernDemocrat said:But a more moderate or liberal Christian. Wait; actually, that’s a bad description.
Instead there are basically two schools of thought:
Fundamentalist Christians: They are Christians who believe that the Bible is a literal account. So when known science explains something in a way that seemingly contradicts scripture, a Fundamentalist Christian will take literal Biblical accounts over science.
Faith and Reason Christians: They are Christians who believe that the Bible is inerrant in its teachings but it is not necessarily literal in terms of science. They are Christians who apply reason to faith and, for example, who in most cases see no contradiction between the science of evolution and the Christian faith because they do not believe that the stories of creation in the book of genesis are literal scientific accounts.
Of course, there are varying degrees to each group. Generally, more fundamentalist Christian Denominations are:
Southern Baptists
Freewill Baptists
Missionary Baptists
Assemblies of God
Pentecostals
Nazarene
Most Charismatic Churches
Faith and Reason Denominations are:
Lutherans
Methodists
Presbyterians
Roman Catholics (the only two issues Catholics are conservative on are Abortion and Homosexuality)
Episcopalians
Church of Christ
Out of all of these denominations and groups, the only ones that are growing are the Catholics and some Charismatic Churches. All other denominations have largely experienced either static growth or a decline in membership.
danarhea said:Christ himself said that, before his return, there would be a falling away, in other words, a great apostacy. I believe that the apostacy is happening now. When Christianity can be used to justify murder and other activities which are not of Christ, when one of the most respected leaders of our Christian church today uses donations to go diamond mining instead of feeding the hungry, when televangelists tell us that God is nothing more than a gofer who will do things for you, but hates those who dont want wealth, then yes, we are in a great apostacy.
