I can think of only 1 word that aptly describes this, and, that word is APOSTASY, or, a "falling away, or drifting away" FROM Mosiac Law. This is how the (Jewish) Talmud came to be, and, "appears" to be the same direction we find today's churches in, eh? Funny, ain't it, how things seem to be so different, they remain the same? No, me neither.
Can say this, however, when "heavy hitters" such as "baal, and chemosh" get involved, and they sieze hold of a person, church, denomination, society, country? Katie!!!......BAR THE GATE!!
Next thing ya know, they won't allow us to pray in schools no more, take the 10 commandments out of our public buildings, not use the word "God" in our pledge of allegiance, or even say the pledge at all, teach school children to write "there is no god but allah" IN ARABIC?

Labels are simply shorthand way of designating a movement.
The movement of liberalism which at it's core denies the authority of God's Word. It denies it by various means...flat out denial/ regarding it as only relevant for an age gone by, spiritualizing plain texts, using extra biblical references to make their case, etc.
Liberalism tends itself towards antinomianism (lawlessness) and as well as a breakdown of authority regarding God's Word.
As a recent example I had an exchange with an individual over ...
1Ti 2:11-14 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. (12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve. (14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
This was over the top for that person. Next came the cultural reasons why it can't be so, then came the Scripture twisting...all so the rebellion against a plain precept could over rule Scripture. This is an example of antinomian that I see cropping up big time here on CC.
Another, I would call 'Gospel Reductionism' where all that matters is that one is justified...outside that nearly anything goes...because hey, God's Word is up for interpretation, so who is to say?

just thinking...perhaps what I'm seeing is the swing from the Pharisees to the onslaught of Saducees.
The Pharisees tended to take God's Word so serious that every dot and tittle must be observed and then some.
The Saducees played fast and loose with God's Word replacing it with their own traditions and denying anything miraculous...like hell.

I kinda look at like the way in which God told Gideon to "choose" his army. In essence, "MANY, are called, FEW are chosen.".........The "problem" comes, when the "many" think they are "chosen". Can't argue with 'em. THEY, are RIGHT...YOU, are not!......Just hafta let 'em go, in the HOPES that in the coming next earth age (when Jesus Christ returns), and, the devil gets BANNED for 1,000 years, there'll be opportunities to "bring 'em around", so to speak. Can't figure out the WHY, some people wanna get "raptured", when Jesus is coming HERE!
Well if the moral law was placed on your heart(2 cor3:3) so you in your heart wanted to obey it, and because you did you had a righteousness apart from the whole law, wouldn't that cover no legalism and at the same time you care about the moral law/you cant view it that it doesn't have obligation
