Who Are These Fundamentalists? « Don Boys
U.S. Fundamentalists, including many who identify as Evangelical, consist of about 30 percent to 40 percent of the population. They are simply Christians who take the Bible seriously and are willing to stand alone if necessary for their beliefs. Their stand is usually conspicuous for its responsible militancy and that militancy has occasioned slanderous accusations that they are mendacious, mad, or malicious in their stand. It seems opponents who can’t answer their objections find it easier to accuse them of being mad and mean rather than answer their militant positions. Biblical militancy always means a help and never harm to anyone.Because of their high view of Scripture (it is inspired, infallible, and inerrant as well as invaluable for godly living), they adhere to the fundamentals of the faith believing in Christ’s virgin birth, virtuous life, vicarious death, victorious resurrection, and visible return as well as the validity of miracles and the veracity of Scripture. Of course, at one time all orthodox Christians believed those doctrines!So, who changed?
