Why I am not a Liberal...

Liberalism regards the love of God as immediate, and so there is nothing more to see in Jesus of Nazareth, for if the love of God we preach is natural, there is no need of Christ, he "died to no purpose." The essence of Liberalism is not only a world of humanism, i.e., Mann as the center of all that is, it is therefore not only a denial of God, but therefore a negation of the pain of God, an ideal world which neither has, nor does, nor ever will exist, an illusion, The Great politically correct Lie. Only in the Cross can we see the eternal Love of God manifested; only "taking up that [deadly] Cross" can one know Love. I am reading the best book in years, Kazoh Kitamori's "Theology of the Pain of God." Soul-blowing in Love!
