Many in the modern western Church do not really understand what liberalism is. They may be able to identify the beliefs of people who ascribe to liberalism, and undoubtedly be able to sense the spirit of liberalism. But what really is liberalism?
Liberalism is the ideology that all things are of man, by man, and for man. Man is at the centre of everything. This ideology would be properly called secular humanism.Liberalism is the most humanistic of all doctrines, and most demonic because it is the utter hatred of God by being self-centred, self-seeking and self-entitled.
Many worldviews, such as many religions, at least speak of not being self-centred and caring for others, although of course, they do not nor cannot provide the answers as to why one should love and care for others. This is because these religions reject Jesus Christ and do not live by the Spirit, but are of the flesh. The Bible makes it clear that anything of the flesh, even if it seeks to do good, cannot do good or be righteous. Romans 8:1-12 says:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Liberalism, on the other hand, totally rejects the idea of doing good. Instead, it is only focused on "progress" of humankind, that is, to move on from being a society that lives with "backwards" and "regressive" and "retrograde" "ideals", that is, the moral principles of Christianity, to one that is "liberated" from these moral principles that liberals find so despicable. Liberals are haters of that which is good, as 2 Timothy 3:3 says:
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Liberals know that they are haters of good, that is, the followers of Christ. A true follower of Christ is no longer unrighteous, despite what reformed Calvinists say, and is now a righteous and good person in God's sight:
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (Romans 3:22).
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him (Romans 5:9).
That is why liberals hate anything that may resemble the righteousness and goodness that comes and can only come from the Christian faith, even if it only has the slightest resemblance. They not only love evil, but love to love evil and love to hate good. They are far more evil than the unsaved of any other worldview.
Liberals include all the groups who would be part of the socially and politically progressive establishment in the west, such as the feminists, pro-homosexual militants and the political correctness proponents who hate the idea that only one religion is right, and embrace religious pluralism, that is, idolatry.
Liberalism is a disease. That is why the west is the way it now is, full of mental illnesses, family breakdown, divorce, abortion, euthanasia, sexually transmitted diseases, suicide, drug abuse, child abuse, alcohol abuse, violence, indebtedness, depression, hypersensitivity, childishness in thinking that anything that offends oneself is wrong, and mental instability.
