Quote (18) - J.C. Ryle

J.C. Ryle

Jelly-fish Christianity

“One plague of our age is the widespread dislike to sound doctrine. In the place of it, the idol of the day is a kind of jelly-fish Christianity–a Christianity without bone, or muscle, or sinew– without any distinct teaching about the atonement or the work of the Spirit, or justification, or the way of peace with God–a vague, foggy, misty Christianity, of which the only watchwords seem to be, “You must be liberal and kind. You must condemn no man’s doctrinal views. You must think everybody is right, and nobody is wrong.”

    It just goes to show that the post modern church is not quite as modern as some may think it is!

    I agree. The evanjellyfish movement reminds me of Genesis when the question, “Hast God really said…” appeared. I believe the not-so-modern postmodernism is a challenge to God of defiant men who say they will do what they want to do regardless of God’s sovereignty.
