I just came accross an article the other day in which Rick Warren (you know the Purpose Driven dude) said the biggest enemy of the 21st century will be fundamentalists. "Warren predicts that fundamentalism, of all varieties, will be 'one of the big enemies of the 21st century.' "Muslim fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, secular fundamentalism - they're all motivated by fear. Fear of each other."
So, the question is, how does Rick Warren define Christian fundamentalism? I was surprised to find that he doesn't define them as some crazy snake charmers in the back woods of West Virginia, but as those who adhere to the basic fundamental essentials of the Christian faith. What are those essentials you ask? How 'bout the Deity of Jesus, the Virgin Birth, the Blood Atonement, Bodily Resurrection, and Inerrancy of Scriptures. Excuse me for my ignorance, but if you eliminate those doctrines, you don't have Christianity. I don't know what you have without them but don't call it Christianity. Check out these links for a little clarity and pray for the church because there is a major deception happening out there. By the way, you can officially call me a fundamentalist.
