Progression of Liberal Theology & The Cult of Liberalism
Today we offer the classic sermon “The Cult of Liberal Theology”. Please listen to the whole teaching. The sermon was initially aired in 1987. I can assure you from my very early studies on cults and witchcraft. The concept of infiltration into institutions of all kinds, educational, industrial, government, and the church, is this. Get inside, gain favor within that group, and take positions of influence. Once they have gained a high office, you bring others along, and they will soon dominate that structure of whatever kind it is.

I have highlighted some of the points by Dr. Walter Martin. I found him witty, and if the topic wasn’t so serious, even comical at times. He points out that not one church or denomination that has fallen into liberal theology did not first corrupt its Bibliology, not one! They entrap, control, and dominate our churches, denominations, and learning institutions. It is all documented and historically factual. It is a slow fade into oblivion. Liberal men are now the bastions of higher education, as Jude’s tiny block of C4 blows the liberals out of the water by exposing the thoughts and intents of their evil hearts.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude 1:19-20
What is Liberal Theology & Its Progression to Ear-Tickling Myths
Note the progression or the death of discernment that can only be detected by spending time in the bible and prayer. Schools of higher thought lead churches into socialism and the Social Gospel. Dr. Martin comments on how liberals pave the way for future persecution and martyrdom of people who will not deviate from the faith delivered once to the saints, toward the end of this teaching.
The Progress of Ear-Tickling Lies by Liberal Theologians that Corrupt the Bible
1. A corrupt Bibliology: This is a corrupt view of scripture’s nature and origin. This affects change on your Theology. The bible is our foundation. Jesus is the living word, and He confirmed our scriptures as the very words of God. Who are they to question God’s word with the echo of the Serpent theology, “has God said?’ –Bibliology Study Here
2. A corrupt Theology: Dr. Martin identifies liberals as picking and choosing scriptures THEY FEEL are relevant. Mythologizing the passages that don’t speak to them.
3. A corrupt Christology: The logical sequence of a little leaven leavens their whole theology to the point they have a Another Gospel and Another Jesus. One who is not a deity, born of a virgin, raised from the dead. It’s all up for scholastic gymnastics, and faith goes out the window for higher thinking.
4. A corrupt Pneumatology: The corruption continues naturally as a dead corpse with no breath, and the stench fills the church with corrupt ideas of how the Holy Spirit works today. So the liberals, both old and new (Read Emergent), do not have a correct view of the Holy Spirit. It is the work of the Holy Spirit today that works in the hearts of men to convict them of their sins and lead them to Christ.
5. A corrupt Morality: This is the end result of first denying what the bible clearly teaches (Bibliology). Second, it naturally adversely affects their Theology, which finds scores of corruptions in the foundational doctrines, including denial of the Trinity, Deity, Virgin Birth, and many others. This ultimately leaves the people who sit under these false teachers to believe that they are saved and they are hell-bound apostates. All kinds of sinful lifestyles are not only condoned but promoted under the sanctity of their man-made theology. This is the logical result of departing from God’s word and relegating the bible to a form of religion but denying the Creator who bought them with His Own blood.
6. Why does this happen? Simply, they love men’s praises more than God’s. They are in it to change and become a god after their evil hearts. In the worst scenarios, they want to have a tax-free business while promoting their form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. I mean, run!
Scriptures Witness Against Liberal False Teachers
Read these three witnesses against them, the people of God who died for the truth.
- 2 Timothy 3 (Traitors in the Church, having a form of godliness)
- 2 Peter 2 (The Rise of False Prophets)
- Jude 1 (Warnings to the UNgoldly)
We realize this is not popular. But when there are wolves among the sheep, you do not play nice with them. No, we need to expose these wolves in sheep’s clothing and save the sheep from them. Listen to this powerful sermon by Dr. Walter Martin, who was himself in a liberal till he came to saving faith in Christ Jesus. If this has blessed you, you can listen to and view many more of the late Dr. Martin’s teachings. His witty, forthright commentary on false teachers and cults, as well as the worst kind of cult, is that which is closest to the truth.
How Liberal Theology Extends to Modern Christian Movements
This liberal theology extends to the views taken by Emergents, Seeker Friendly, Purpose Driven, Your Best Life Now, Kingdom Now, and so many more today, all of which undermine the gospel found in your Bible. Everyone has some good ideas, but we must look at the fruit. Are the numbers in our churches, or the disciples for the Lord Jesus?
Discernment is crucial. Remember, rat poison is 99.99% nutritious. It is the infinitesimal small amount of spiritual poison that the devil slips in to keep well-meaning people from promoting the full counsel of God. Please don’t take our word for it. Turn off your T.V., radio, and iPod, put away your favorite books about Spiritual things, and pray as you read your bible. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.
