Church Group Wants U.N. to Take Over Iraq

Fox News ^ | 5.11.04

[hope]

A national religious group representing 36 Protestant and Orthodox denominations said Tuesday that U.S. foreign policy is "dangerous" and urged President Bush to turn over authority in Iraq to the United Nations.

The National Council of Churches (search), which has been highly critical of the war, acknowledged that Christians disagree on the issue, but said that giving control to the U.N. was the only way to create "lasting peace."

Insofar as the ELCA is one of the mainstays of this dopey outfit...

Word Alone.

And the National Council of Churches would know about Christianity because . . . .

[Dr. Scarpetta]

In reference to all those denominations you listed:

I live out in the country and drive past some beautiful historic churches. Most of them are now members of the pro-choice UCC, and I always think of them as Democrat churches. The cemetaries next to them are full of members who would be shocked how their church changed.

Thanks for sharing...now, go away.

Isn't this the same "group" that was behind sending Elian back to Cuba? ... flew relatives to the US as an "incentive"? ... headed by a woman liberal?

Could be wrong but don't think so!

[CWOJackson]

These people should stick to gay marriages.

They aren't a church group they are COMMUNISTS!

[kcvl]

Yes!

[jackbill]

The NCC also wanted us to give in to the Soviets. Glad to see that they now have a new agenda.

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah..and we have got to get the ELCA out of the National Council of Communist Churches!

[rbmillerjr]

Stick to the preachings of Jesus Christ.


When it comes to foreign policy, kindly have
a-cupa- STFUP

[redgolum]

Does anyone actually think the NCC is anything but a communist front?<sacasm

Seriously, I remember a Readers Digest article about the WCC and NCC being infiltrated by the KGB. It was probably almost 20 years ago when I read it, but remember it vividly!

[Faithfull]

This council of churches is pathetic. I'd never belong to any church associated with them as my tithe would support their liberal causes.

I don't want the NCC's version of peace, which is tyranny and oppression in the name of Communism or Allah. There will only be peace when the evildoers are eliminated, or at the very least rendered powerless (I'm speaking about the War on Terror).

I will not stand for my country being attacked, it's as plain as that. I will not stand for the forceful spread of Islam, which is at it's very core a religious and political enterprise. If we do nothing, evil will flourish and overtake us -- and that is immoral and cowardly.

I don't know about that specific article, but I read elsewhere that an FBI agent had warned back in the '50's, I believe, that Communist agents would pose as pastors and lead people astray.

There are certainly some pastors I've met that make me want to go home and wrap my head in tinfoil.

"In a related development, the UN announced it was moving its headquaters to Babylon, Iraq as a means of fostering peace in that troubled region. Amongst other things, this is said to be especially reassuring to Israel in light of the supreme secretary's brokering of a 7 year peace deal with that nation...
in other news... the ID chipping of the population of the entire 10 bloc economic protectorate is said to be meeting its application targets in advance of its announced time tables. Enforcement centers have been set up to deal with those refusing the supreme secretary's edicts....

I remember it, too. In fact, I may still have the article.

I grew up in what is now the ELCA. It was a bible believing church, then. We left years ago when we saw the handwriting on the wall. Our home now is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. We love it.
