Featured Who is Rick Warren, really?

One might ask you the same thing since you're constantly asking folks questions and then stating "what they think" before they answer.

There go them sequins again.

 

Brother,

A few thoughts-

1. When you post a link like this you should expect debate and perhaps division.

2. Perhaps the problem with the PDC method as you observed it was not with the method but with the people who instituted it.

3. Rick Warren does a lot of stuff that isn't "church" like helping the poor and needy. That's not ecumenism. I participate in a Christian program to help addicts- I work with people from different faiths, but I present the Gospel each week, and people are saved. Am I ecumenical also? (If so, then I wear the label proudly.)

4. Jesus reached out to people of various faiths- that meant eating with them and even healing their sick. Was He ecumenical?

5. The "E" word gets thrown around too easily for my tastes. Ecumenicism is not really a dirty word.

6. Rick's not exactly my "cuppa tea" either. But I'm glad he's on "our" side, even if "we" aren't on his.

 

Wow. Gone for a while, and when I check in the first topic in the Baptist Discussion section, there's Zaac trolling again .

The more things change...

 

Sola Saint,
Just plain Bill, here. I have, for several years beyond the past decade asked people to carefully measure the message of Rick Warren's One World Church against the scriptures and have been cursed, condemed to eternity in Hell and all manor of other curses and you will find you have stepped into that same mine field with this topic.

One thing I will point out to you for future thought is your avatar. The heritic you have chosen to represent you on the forum is a local to my neighborhood and I would think long about using his image.

 

That sounds like more of what you "think" cause there certainly is no indication that he said or implied that.

 

Annsni...

Watch...........the.................video.

 

Ooops double post

 

Translation:

"Its not what I want it to be, sooo I will simply pretend its OK."


I am really surprised, Ann. I would not have expected of you, to be honest.

 

Text of Rick Warren's prayer

Text of RW's prayer at the Jan 20, 2009 inauguration of Obama:

Blessings on him, who leads our nation forward into more abortion on demand and celebrates homosexuality in our WH. Okay. When RW prayed that prayer that day, knowing full well that Obama was pro-abortion and his record on Partial Birth Abortion and his record while in the Illinois Senate....and even after obama said told him during the debate at Saddleback "deciding when life begins is "above my pay grade" - well, that did it for me as far as my opinion about RW. So who is the man? Was it about fame? Was it about having the name written down somewhere of praying at the inauguration of the first black President? Who knows? Only God knows the heart.

I am reminded about a once-known Christian musician by the name of Phil Driscoll. Never a sweeter horn in the world. But he played for the Democratic Convention back in 2000. I was appalled and emailed him to ask why he played for the DC knowing their platform is pro-abortion and he is a Christian. He wrote me back - "it was a gig." Who ever hears of PD now?

Was the inauguration prayer "just a gig?"

There are crossroads in our Christian path. We all choose the wrong path sometimes in our walk. But the Lord says that to whom much is given, much is required.

Sorry. Maybe I'm a prude. Maybe I take things too seriously. But if Christians don't have standards, if Christians can't be salt and light....

Won't be commenting again on this thread as it has gone on continually; haven't begun to read all of the pages. But that's my 2 cents. :flower:

 

Didn't God say to Israel He would bless those who blessed them? Was He referring to only the righteous being blessed? We are to pray for our leaders. Isn't that asking God's blessing in itself? Why is praying for their protection against our enemies a bad thing and dropping our standards as christians, LE?

 

Who has 2 hours of free time to watch an internet video? Could someone please summarize the highlights of the video or better yet point us to a printed version of the same material?

 

I watched the first 10 minutes. If the other 1 hour and 50 minutes were anything like the first 10 it is more lies, slander and misinformation. At what minute mark does this end and the truth begin?
