And if we place ourselves there, if you are guilty of breaking the least of those laws. Then you are guilty of breaking the entirety of the law. I hope you realize that before it's too late.

It is argued that by denying the core tenets of salvation—such as the full divinity of Christ, the necessity of His atonement, and the doctrine of original sin—liberal theology erodes the basis for a just moral order. The rejection of original sin, which teaches that all humans are inherently sinful and in need of redemption through grace, leads to an optimistic view of human nature that contradicts the biblical teaching of human depravity. This optimism undermines the need for divine grace and shifts the focus from salvation to moral improvement, effectively transforming the gospel into a message of human achievement rather than divine redemption. Furthermore, the theological framework of liberal theology is seen as incompatible with a coherent understanding of justice. By rejecting the idea that humanity is universally corrupted by sin and in need of a Savior, liberal theology removes the moral foundation for a just society. The emphasis on social reform and human progress over spiritual regeneration is said to promote a form of lawlessness, as it downplays the seriousness of sin and the need for accountability before God. The liberal theologian's tendency to de-emphasize the fallenness of human nature and to treat original sin as an abstract or non-concrete concept is viewed as a way to avoid confronting the pervasive and persistent evil in the world. The rejection of the objective authority of Scripture and the denial of the Bible's divine inspiration further contribute to this perceived undermining of justice. Without a revealed, inerrant standard of truth, the moral and legal framework of society becomes subject to shifting human opinions and experiences, rather than a fixed, divine law. This leads to a Christianity that is defined not by doctrinal content but by an ever-changing, non-specific experience, which some argue cannot provide a stable basis for justice or eternal hope. Theological liberalism is thus accused of emptying Christianity of its essential content, including the Trinity, the substitutionary atonement of Christ, and the reality of divine judgment, ultimately resulting in a system that lacks a solid foundation for justice and moral order "Theological Liberalism" www.monergism.com "Liberalism and Theology" www.ewtn.com "Liberal Theology: A Critical Assessment" www.thegospelcoalition.org www.hup.harvard.edu

The trails left to us from the those who proceeded in this divine service have left clear enough markers to assure us we’re on the right path to the Celestial City. While those who attempt to pass through according to their own false qualifications leave markers showing they have been deceived by erroneous heresies.
