Progressive Christians Are The Modern Sadducees: The Mark Series pt 48 (12_18-27) 00:54:24 – 01:00:00

Summary: Jesus vs. Pharisees vs. Sadducees mapped to modern groups

Pharisees (modern parallel: Roman Catholicism) — Jesus agreed on: supernatural worldview, afterlife/resurrection/judgment, inspiration/authority of entire OT, messianic focus of OT. Disagreed on: traditions of men taught as doctrines of God, authority of the seat of Moses (responsibility not authority), works contributing to salvation. Sadducees (modern parallel: progressive Christianity) — Jesus agreed on: NOTHING. Every unique Sadducee belief was rejected by Jesus. Winger: "With progressive Christians I find it's like I agree with them on nothing. Every element of the Christian faith is twisted and changed until it becomes an empty metaphor that ultimately isn't Christian." The fundamental truths of Christianity (judgment, heaven, hell, salvation through Jesus, miracles, spiritual realm) — Jesus held them all. "A lot of the fundies got it right."
