Fundamentalists are no different from other theologies claiming to follow the teachings of the Word closest and best. They are fundamental in their own esteem, and by their rules.
I like to think of myself as being fundamental in my faith and belief, but only in the sense of the meaning of the word. When the Holy Spirit entered into me, He did tell me much, but one thing He did not tell me is a theology that is absolute and perfect. Since that glorious day, I have been content to study the Word, and continue as I was more or less told I would. Nothing spectacular, just a life long study of the Word in the love of Yeshua, Jesus..

“Fundamentalists draw clear distinctions between themselves, as true believers, and others, convinced that they are right and that anyone who contradicts them is ignorant and possibly evil. Fundamentalists are militant in fighting against any challenge to their beliefs. They are often angry and sometimes resort to verbal or even physical abuse against those who interfere with the implementation of their agenda. There are three words that characterize fundamentalism: rigidity, domination, and exclusion.”

The Fundamentalism that is spoken of here is pretty common in current Christianity. How do we root it out?
