Traditional Christianity is: negative, threatening, patriarchal, sexist, homophobic, repressive, violent, offensive, and damaging.....
Progressive Christianity rejects all these things.
Progressive Christianity reinterprets the Bible in the light of the worldview and context of the times*.
Progressives do not subscribe to Original Sin.
Neither do they support Redemption through the Cross.
Jesus is not God incarnate.
And his death is not a ransom for our sins.
God does not judge us.
And there will be no Judgement Day.
Most Progressives are gay-friendly.
And many are women.
So what do we believe?
God loves us like our Mother/Father.
Jesus' only commandment is to love God and love one another.
God is merciful, forgiving, and gracious.
God's Love is unconditional and everlasting.
There is no hell.
But there is a Heaven.
And that is Love.
(*These methods can easily be applied to all religions.)
