Such
A Beautiful Laboratory For Christianity’s
Destruction
Rev. Klaas Hendrikse, a minister in the mainstream Protestant denomination in the Netherlands doesn’t believe in life after death, nor even in God as a supernatural being. He told the BBC that he has “no talent” for believing historic and orthodox doctrines. “God is not a being at all,” he says, but just an experience. Furthermore, as Pigott reports, “Mr. Hendrikse describes the Bible’s account of Jesus’s life as a mythological story about a man who may never have existed, even if it is a valuable source of wisdom about how to lead a good life.” All this is familiar, at least in general terms, to anyone who has been observing mainline Protestantism — in either the United States or Europe — for the last half-century or more. The central doctrines of Christianity have been sidelined and hardly mentioned, then revised, and finally rejected. As even some conservatives left in the church recognize, if the church continues in the way the liberals are changing it, it is spiritually and theologically dead already. The new religion of “somethingism” is not a form of real Christianity. It is a cult religion meeting in historic Christian church structures.
