Biblical Absolutism
Social Gospel Today has a worthwhile discussion of a potentially confusing issue in fundimentalist Christianity: their major point is that Biblical absolutism takes you further from Jesus rather than closer.They say "Biblical absolutism represents a fundamental confusion over the source of Christian Truth. It is helpful to contrast Christianity with Islam in this respect. Islam claims a God-given text: the Koran. The religion is centered, not on Muhammad, but on this text. The Koran is the source of truth, the manifestation of God. Christianity, by contrast, claims a God-given person. The religion is centered on Jesus, who is the manifestation of God and the source of Truth."
Even for those who subscribe to liberal religion, this is a thoughtful discussion.
