Evangelist Franklin Graham is urging the church in a new column to reject “progressive Christianity” and warning that it is “not a Gospel at all” because it rejects core biblical doctrine.
“The real, ultimate danger is that progressive Christianity can send a person to hell,” he writes. “I know that sounds harsh, but it’s true.”
Graham, the president of Samaritan’s Purse, penned the column for Decision Magazine, saying progressive Christianity is wrong on a series of issues, from sexuality to marriage to the deity of Christ. The column ran under the headline, “The Eternal Peril of Progressive Christianity.”
“Progressive Christianity denies the divinely inspired, authoritative truth of the Bible as it intersects every facet of living,” he writes.
“For example, although Scripture clearly says that marriage is between one man and one woman, proponents of progressive Christianity twist and distort the truth of God’s Word on sexuality, focusing on such nonsensical trends as gender identity,” he writes. “They deny God’s distinction of the sexes, and instead invent their own misguided standards, unguided by the Word of God. The degrading cultural influences that embrace such movements as gay marriage have more sway on their beliefs than the Bible does.”
On the topic of justice, he writes, “progressive Christianity is primarily concerned with the issues of social and racial justice (which the Bible does address), but most often neglects the far more fundamental issue of God’s justice – how a holy and just God deals with sinful and wicked men.”
Progressive Christianity, he writes, “is not a Gospel at all.”
