It depends. If liberal interpretation means changing the
meaning of the message, it is then a totally bad thing. But liberal
in the sense that you use modern ways to preach the gospel or to
reach out, then yes I think it is good to push for more
liberal/relevant ways.
2) In keeping up with the times, are we compromising Christ's
message too
much?
Like I say. It is just a matter of 'Same message, different
language'.
3) As Christians, are we making ourselves acceptable to the world
instead to GOD?
Yes of cos there are many who serve men rather than God.
But its up to us isnt it. You do not need a liberal christian to
serve men more than GOd. A traditional one can do that just as well
hehe.
4) Should we be as staunch as what the rest of pple are doing,
since we get bashed the most?
Faith in God is a conviction. I do not really care what
people says about my fervency for God. But i do care what they say
about the way I do things. In this way, I can be more relevant to
them.
5) Is the church a easy target for bashing, since we preach abt
Christ's love more than punishment for sins?[/b]
We should preach both. Jesus preached both. It is in
inevitable that we get bashed. Even if you preach all love, some
people would still go read up the bible and asked you why you never
tell them about hell?
