Open minded Christians...

I take most of us here are conservative Christians, so by open-mindedness, I understand that as being the opposite. Semantics always makes things complicated.

In that case its "liberalism" as the opposite of "conservatism", not "open-mind".

Semantics has a purpose. Terms have meanings.

BTW, what do you mean by "conservative Christian"? What does such a Christian had to believe?

It's pretty clear in the context of OP too, by open-minded Christians, I think he means those who tolerate living in sin. Or think it's OK by God's standards.

Not only tolerate, but outright endorse. Contextually I am speaking of the myriad of comments I was reading on a video on Youtube by Lilly Singh (Superwoman) about homophobia (in celebration of Pride), and I kept reading Christians say, "I am open minded" and go on to show their approval of homosexuality, gay marriage, and LGBTQ community. Saying how they loved the video, that bashed Christians and their "archaic book."

It was not my term, but their use of it. "I am an open minded Christian" is often used to alienate oneself from the perceived traditional understandings of scripture towards certain practices or sins. Its their way of saying they don't agree with the Bible (or such interpretation of it) that negatively portray anyone within the LGBTQ community.

I see. If its their wrong use of the term, I would put it into quotations, then. "Open minded" Christians.

Is this another way of saying, "I don't believe God's word"? It seems to be a position of compromise, not willing to stand on God's word, and rather be a people pleaser. Risking the chance of offending others, they submit to political correctness. They seem to approve of communities that boast in sin, while professing to be "Christian." They alienate themselves from traditional values to make peace with the world. One might take the stance of "let go and let live" but to actually endorse, approve, and rejoice in the practice of sin?

Love is not approving of sin, love is showing the way to overcome sin and its penalty. We do not love the world by embracing its fallen nature. We reveal the light to them, the love of Christ. We share the Gospel. We do not feign interest in their indulgences, but offer genuine interest in their souls. We love them, because God loves them. Just as the Lord lets it rain on the good, and the evil, and lets the sun shine upon both. We love people.

If you proclaim to be a Christian, do not be so open minded that you would make friendship with the world at the cost of their soul. You have done them a great disservice. Offer them an embrace, but not an embrace of their sin. Show them love, true love. Preach the Gospel, share the truth. Will you have blood on your hands? Tainted with those perishing, as you lulled them into a false sense of security. They need to repent, and believe in Jesus. As you too ought to repent and stand with God's word.

May God bless you, guide you, and the Spirit guide you into all truth. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Its an ability to think out of the box you were put in by tradition, culture, faith, surroundings, education etc.
