"speak" not "preach" Technicality. I know. But Warren denied inviting him to "preach".
Maybe that 20,000 guy dunked in the water will get to hear a pro-abort speak from Rick's pulpit, heah? Sounds like a lot of cleansing going on...
Not mine either, Jan. I sent out info on Warren to a preacher friend of mine who had just received a denial letter from Warren. Warren blamed bloggers for "doing Satan's work" in attacking him - when in reality, it was the Chicago Tribune that reported his invitation to Obama. He said also that bloggers had used a Syrian news release to condemn him, but Farah has him on audio saying the very things the Syrian agency purported. (Syrians said he said more, but who can believe Warren now when he says he didn't?)
Preaching or teaching or even sharing the pews, a pastor should never give credibility to an unrepentent, spiritually blind wolf like Obama. His mere presence as a speaker at one of his church programs, invites leftist- leaning congregants to stall off on changing their ways and repenting. Having Obama speak at any Christian church is a spirtually sick thing to do--the act of a hireling.
It would appear that Warren is a flat out liar.
I know very little about Mr. Warren. I have been busy since 9/11 trying to learn all I can about islam and what, as a Christian, I am to do about it!
I saw him interviewed on Fox quite some time ago and he seemed like a good guy and I didn't really pay much attention to him.
The other day I heard about his connection with Obama and a light went off...just like it did with me for Oprah several years ago. He is the tool the DemocRats will use to get the 'religious' vote. It's political, no doubt in my mind. He is a very dangerous man. He teaches just enough truth, but in the end...
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires;
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
I will do some reading this week so I can be more informed about Mr. Warren, but I doubt my opinion will change.
I never could get past the eye-batting thing that Osteen does.
The only people I ever knew who did that didn't believe what they were saying...
20,000 baptisms is NOT fruit?
Clearly some definitions need a more Biblical adjustment.
Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Please avoid allowing the crows, ravens, briars, etc. of the enemy robbing whatever good may have resulted from your study and experience.
Satan hates effective believers. And he's very good at getting them assaulted by other believers.
I'm not happy with what I observe from a distance with RW and Syria, Obammamama, CFR, etc. But I trust his heart a lot more than I trust the assaults and the attitude and spirit they seem to come from.
God sent Daniel into many figurative and a literal lion's den for HIS PURPOSES. God alone is in a position to judge RW.
His fruit is quite significant enough, to me.
2 Samuel 24:1,
Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census of Israel and Judah."
Maybe...maybe not. But I'm beginning to see more and more clearly that he's a little light in brain capacity.
Really...I think he's a dumb person.
At least he's not light in the loafers.
Recent events have shown that high level christian leaders are not exempt from that particular problem!
Unfortunately, it's the low-level christian leader-worshippers who continue to foster the problem.
Matthew 20:25-26,
"Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant..."
Hogwash.
Presidents and others . . . including supposedly brilliant Henry Kisssaaarrrrrsssssenger are guilty of doing stupid things.
Many brilliant people do many stupid things.
It's called being human.
Ahhhhh . . . . what a bald faced brazen off the wall out rageous assumption.
His book is quite shallow.
I just don't think he has too many brains.
Thanks for the ping!
