Christian What?

Okay, they lost me.

Apparently there are self-identified Christians who argue for what they call "Christian Physicalism". Christendom has argued from the beginning that we are not merely physical, but spiritual beings as well, there are some who argue that the view is "incompatible with a modern scientific worldview", so they're going to change all of Church history and scrub Scripture (see, for instance, 1 Thess 5:23) to make sure we don't think that anymore. I can still hear the echoes of "Did God really say ...?"

1. I think they mean physicalism.
2. This isn’t the only old heresy that has or will come back around.
3. Just one more insistence of putting science (the creation) in a superior position to God.

Yes, that's what they called it. Yes, Science before God.
