Christian movements
This article concerns the self-labelled Fundamentalist Movement in
Protestant Christianity. For other kinds of fundamentalism, please see
the main article, Fundamentalism.
Fundamentalist Christianity, or Christian fundamentalism is a movement
which arose mainly within 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 authenticity of his miracles. This core
set of beliefs was the "line in the sand" drawn by conservative
Christians as they battled against the rise of rationalism, higher
biblical criticism, and liberalism within Protestant denominations.
Nonsense.
The beliefs have always been the core Christian beliefs as affirmed in the
creeds and writings going all the way back to the first century AD.
Every branch, sect and denomination of Christianity claims to trace its
unique philosophy in an unbroken lineage back to Jesus Christ himself.
And I don't simply mean they all claim to represent Christ's true
message-- no, a great many Christians believe that their personal
religion has remained entirely unchanged for 2000 years.
Read some history. Culture, belief, and religion are not static
constructs.
Dave
The challenges to these beliefs are forwarded by those who are unwittingly
leading the church into the great apostasy in the name of false
"enlightenment."
And thus the game begins.

Of this I am aware. Jesus laid out a chronology of church metamorphosis in
the seven letters, some of the changes being positive and some of them being
negative.
The most negative is the last, Laodicea, which marginalizes the physical
realities of Jesus Christ, the authority of scripture, the "fundamental" set
of Christian beliefs, the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, and the
authenticity of Jesus' miracles.
In other words, the Bible saw these last heretical teachings coming 2,000
years ago.
Good "guess," eh?

If a prediction is vague enough, and takes into account the general
truths of human nature (such as the observation that well-traveled and
well-educated people tend to reject literalistic dogma in favor of a
more nuanced metaphorical set of beliefs) then that prediction will
likely turn out to be true.
but the changes I was talking about were the continuous shifts
throughout history in the relationship between the government and the
church, as well as historical changes in the general church attitude
toward political issues like slavery, torture, divine right of kings,
personal revelation vs Biblical revelation, etc.
