Maybe I have missed it, but I have never actually heard/read a conservative Bible believing local Church or Christian state the kind of things DiscipleEddie has said.

I have however, heard those kind of arguments from liberals, such as Vines.
It reminds me of what is commonly called ‘Progressive Christianity’.
Unfortunately, my niece after leaving an abusive power hungry Church; jumped right into
Progressive Christianity.
She was brought up in that Church as a kid and she was hurt by them. As a reaction, started attending a Progressive Church, and says she has never felt such love
