What is the Fundamentalist Church?
Hey everyone and welcome back to Deeper Roots.
If you know a little about the Christian church, you’ll know that there are different sects that are called “denominations”, each with their own set of traditions and core beliefs that set them apart from other denominations, all hopefully unified under than banner of Jesus Christ. For example, you have a church like ours, which is a biblical first, baptist second church. You also have people who are in Calvinist churches, pentecostal churches, etc. All these are denominations.
Recently, one denomination has been taking headlines more than the rest: that would be the fundamental denomination. We see this denomination neighbored by words like “hateful”, “bigoted”, and “extremist”. But how did it get this way? What is the fundamental church supposed to be, and why would churches use the name? The question our viewer used was “What is fundamentalism and why do churches prescribe to this ideology?”
This question was submitted online, and you can submit your own question online using the form on our webpage, which is found at www.ibbvn.org/deeperroots. There, you can find more than just the form! You can find the rest of our episodes and the streaming platforms we’re on.
