A. A Definition of Modernism
==================
Modernism,
as a religious philosophy, is believed to some extent by many (probably most)
denominational preachers who claim to be Christians. Its adherents may differ
widely in viewpoint, but we define its major concepts as follows:
Modernism
is the belief that the Bible is not infallible but may contain errors or
inaccuracies. It generally begins by claiming the Bible contains inaccuracies
in history, geography, or science; then it expresses doubt about Bible accounts
of miracles and prophetic predictions; then it ends by denying or questioning
fundamental doctrines such as the Deity of Jesus, the sacrificial death of
Jesus, the nature of God, etc.
