Fundamentalist Christians ?

Question

What are the pros and cons of fundementlist Christians ?

Answer 1

Fundamentalist believe in adhering strictly to the bible. We believe we are to speak were the Bible speaks and stay silent where it is silent.

Pros:
We try to walk as Christ did
We are secure in our Salvation
We feel that we have a close relationship with Christ

Cons:
It is hard to live in a world that we are persecuted in
Some people believe that they are saved just because they are of a certain belief
Some people are more judgmental
Some people can have a sense of entitlement

What it comes down to is are you trying to live like the original Church? The Church that Jesus created. Are you living with the same idea that Jesus had? He came for the sick not the people that were well in there faith. Also do you study the Bible for yourself or do you have someone else do it for you?

In the Book of John it tells us that it is good that we are in the world but not of it. You should live a life that others want to eminate, you should not push others away they need to hear the Truth not be force fed it.

Answer 2

First you have to understand what they are...

Fundamentalist Christianity, or Christian fundamentalism is a movement which arose mainly within British and American Protestantism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by conservative evangelical Christians, who, in a reaction to modernism, actively affirmed a "fundamental" set of Christian beliefs: the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth of Christ, the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

The nature of the Christian fundamentalist movement, while originally a united effort within conservative evangelicalism, evolved during the early-to-mid 1900s to become more separatist in nature and more characteristically dispensational in its theology. Most fundamentalists have strongly opposed the Roman Catholic Church for theological reasons; in recent years there has been limited political cooperation between individuals in each group on certain social issues, such as abortion and issues concerning homosexuality.

The secular world's current perception of the term "fundamentalism" is colored by shifts in meaning on two similar fronts since the 1980s. First, the term was used in a negative sense for all Christian groups so deemed by liberal Lutheran theologian Martin E. Marty in his five-volume Fundamentalism Project[1](although recent social science research has raised questions about his assessment[2]), and secondly during the holding of a number of Americans hostage in Lebanon, some members of the press began referring to the Islamic Hezbollah captors as "Islamic fundamentalists", and consequently the term "Christian fundamentalism" has been used as a pejorative by opponents of Christianity, especially in political discussions.

Answer 3

Christianity might desire to be a graspable and tangible faith or that's ineffective to every physique. faith does us no stable sitting on a shelf and God can't help us if we placed him in a field to artwork his miracles. If we actually and extremely took a glance into the bible we could see that we are commanded to do 2 issues, Love God and Love Others. we are ALL imperfect, we can ALL cut back to rubble lower back, and luckily all of us have the prospect to get lower back up and pass at life lower back. We might desire to supply up looking previous the log in our own eye to do away with the splinter in somebody else's. merely love all people and be the very superb individual you may nicely be, God is conscious what we are able to!

Answer 4

Pros -
* I do my best to walk the life Jesus led, as the Bible describes it, and not as a denomination describes it.
* I am not bound to non- or extra-Biblical traditions.
* I can honestly say "all are equal in Christ" as opposed to saying "some are more equal than others" or "because you aren't such-and-such denomination, you're as unsaved as a non-believer".
* I am free to read the Bible, and take it at face value, as opposed to having to deal with the problem of eisegesis (reading words or ideas into the text that aren't there) that occurs occasionally.
* I am free to have preachers of whatever denomination. If I have a teacher that's Presbyterian, I am not compelled to reject my teacher that's Baptist, Amish, Pentacostal, or whatnot, because of denomination alone. If they speak truth, then so be it. And if they mix falsehood with truth, I am free to reject them.
* I am self-compelled to be as the Bereans, and to "search the scriptures, to see whether it is true or not". The truth is neither forced upon me nor hidden from me.

Cons -
* I am lumped in with groups like that one 'God hates gays' church, and abortion bombers. Neither I feel have truly studied scripture well enough to see that they're being misled by wolves in sheeps clothing.
* I am lumped in with G. W. Bush, whom I pray for, but do not politically support.
* I am lumped in with 'flat-earthers' (which, ironically, is what we get when the church listens to science instead of God and a few hundred years pass)... that is, that I have no concept of science, history, archaeology, or other such means of validation to Christianity (even despite the fact that I enjoy reading about quantum physics and biology, have spent a good number of years studying mythology and warfare of a multitude of cultures, and a hobby of mine is deals in genetics)
* Persecution up the wahoo. Especially to those who evangelize and/or are missionaries.
* Like all Protestants and (Ana)Baptists, get lumped in with Catholics (whose beliefs differ relatively vastly from ours).
