How the Left Moved into Religion
The American Thinker ^ | March 11, 2012 | Mary Nicholas

Posted on 03/11/2012 12:04:25 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

It is the year of the "ethics of energy," according to the National Council of Churches (NCC).....

.........Formerly overt supporters of communism, the NCC recast itself as a leader of the 'religious left.'" While the U.S. was fighting the Cold War, the NCC funded communist regimes in.... The NCC considers the U.S. "an oppressor, both at home and abroad"....

... Candidates should feel comfortable explaining their religious convictions to voters." But..."there is a point when an emphasis on religion becomes inappropriate and even unsettling in a religiously diverse society such as ours."...

........ReverendWright admired LouisFarrakhan....,and often praised him both in sermons and in his church's magazine, the Trumpet. Through carefully distorted biblical passages, black liberation theology portrays.....

A key link of the religious left to Obama was a 1998 BlackRadicalCongress in Chicago. ReverendWright shared a panel with CornelWest and MichaelDyson of the DemocraticSocialistsofAmerica (DSA) and Socialism Commission. The title of the panel was "Faith as a Weapon: Spirituality and the Role of the Church in the RadicalMovement" (Loudon,BarackObama and the Enemies Within,......

.....Another link of Obama to the religious left is his spiritual advisor, JimWallis. Wallis is the founder of Sojourners, which describes itself as a" biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church and the world." Originating in Chicago, Wallis was lured to Washington by Institute forPolicyStudies....

...In an interview in 1979, Wallis expressed the hope that "more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes." Wallis, funded by Soros, has served on Obama's White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnership since 2008.

It is clear that the religious left has penetrated organized religion for decades.... More important, they worship a Marxist State instead of God. Are they using "faith as a weapon" to destroy religion?

In June 2007, Democratic presidential candidates joined Reverend Jim Wallis (second from right) for a public forum on faith, values, and poverty in Washington, DC. Sojourners, the largest national network of "progressive" Christians founded by Wallis, sponsored the event in which former Sen. John Edwards (far left), Sen. Hillary Clinton (second from left), and Sen. Barack Obama (far right) attended.

They blame the U.S. for the deaths of those fleeing oppression. It's sick.

Clueless. The left has been "moving into religion" ever since the Bund der Gerechten foisted Moses Mendelsohn and Abraham Geiger on the Jewish religion in the eighteenth century, effectively splintering off "Reform Judaism" from the main body of the faith. They did it again with Solomon Shechter and "conservative" Judaism, which is effectively a distinction without a significant difference.

The key was to donate the money for the land for a divinity school, thus maintaining the leverage to keep an agent on the board of directors, by which to appoint the dean of faculty. Effectively, such "generosity" has been the model for controlling university hierarchies ever since, and especially at divinity schools.

This gambit of 'divide and move the pieces' (in which freemasonry has played a key role) has been practiced over and over, being the model behind which so many protestant religions successively established within the US.

Charles Taze Russell, Joseph Smith, et al., we're onto yooooo!

This guy is a real piece of crap. Wallis can go straight to hell. His motives are very dishonest.

Greetings Lazlo in PA:

First awareness of Jim Wallis’ activities thanks to Glenn Beck’s TV Show exposes. But in one story, Mary Nichols really opens my eyes.

Lord have mercy,
OLA

A new story on Hanoi Jim Wallis will be coming out soon. The original source of his support for the North Vietnamese had been misplaced but has now been found and is in the process of being written up for the public.

Don’t know where it will initially appear, but it will quote extensively from Wallis including his comments on plans for “social liberation” as the basis for his form of marxist Christianity.

This is one marxist who slipped through the cracks during the 1970’s until he emerged with the marxist-oriented “Sojourners” in the 1980’s.

See www.frontpagemagazine.com and its’ “DiscoverTheNetwork.com” site for details on Wallis. Also Trevor Loudon’s www.keywiki.org, search for “Jim Wallis” in the search box.

We can definitely add another marxist/hater to Obama’s religious confidants and advisors, including Wright, Pfleger, Farrakhan, and Wolf, as well as the “hate-whitey” influence of Prof. James Cone, and the personal teachings/relationships of Derek Bell and Charles Ogletree.

This is just going to get better and better as obama is finally “vetted” like he should be. The red closet is going to ripped open for the whole world to see.

Communist Goals (1963)

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

Yep, those “watermelons” may be many different colors on the outside, but always red in the middle.

Greetings MadMax, the Grinning Reaper:

If we didn’t have an useless gaggle of lickspittle, fawning “journalists” masqurading as reporters; the moment Barry Soroto (or whatever his real name is) announced James Wallis as “spiritual advisor,” stories such as this should have popped up nationwide on the front page.

In this grand information age, I’ve never felt so ignorant.

Looking forward to the red closet grand opening,
OLA
