Oklahoma GOP Leader: A Progressive Christian is Not a Christian At All!
By Sarahbeth Caplin, October 23, 2018
Carolyn McLarty, A National Committeewoman to the Republican Party from Oklahoma, wrote an email bashing progressive Christians that was sent to every subscriber of the partys mailing list.
Patrick Riley at The Lost Ogle shares the email that was sent out on Friday you can read it here calling it a terrifying look inside the logic-defying brains of the people who run the State GOP.
Heres McLarty:There is an anti-Trump Evangelical Christian group called Vote Common Good touring the country. Sound delightful, right? Wrong!
They are a Progressive Christian troupe that promotes a socialist agenda. They would like nothing less than to flip Congress away from Republican control, yet they say they are non-partisan.
Damn right they want to flip Congress. As weve noted on this site, Vote Common Good supports politicians who promote their evangelical values. And despite the GOP claiming to do just that, its the Democrats whose policies call for helping the poor, making health care more accessible, and caring for the least of these.
Thats the socialist agenda Christians like McLarty fear so much. She goes on the trash the groups name and mission.
The common good is an idea right out of the Marxist Communist Manifesto. Socialism and communism have never worked. A market economy with private property, individual liberty, personal responsibility, respect for the dignity of life for every person, and the rule of Law does work.
I have no idea how she can promote the dignity of life for every person on the same weekend that we learned the administration wanted to literally define transgender people out of existence.
We have witnessed the mob rule antics of the Democrat left in Washington, D.C. recently. They are desperate to gain control of their progressive agenda. They are well funded, and are doing everything imaginable to grab power even use Christianity as a cover.
What is a Progressive Christian? A Progressive Christian is not a Christian at all!
Progressive Christianity is another liberal theology. It is a feel good, do good, humanistic attempt to co-opt the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Know who else is pretty well-funded? Evangelicals.
