[The Lumster]

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Luke 6:26

[Names Ash Housewares]

“God is using Rick Warren to be a messenger of peace!”

My messenger of peace.....

[ZGuy]

Then Rick should be in good shape because a lot of people around here aren't speaking well of him at all.

[M Kehoe]

Two words for Mr. Warren: communist dictator.

Maybe that will help, and save him the jet lag.

So ronery...

Sounds incredibly naive. The stadium will probably be filled with North Korean soldiers and party stooges. The North Korean regime would never allow the average North Korean to hear a message that preaches there is a higher power than the midget Kim Jong Mentally Ill. In North Korea, he and his deranged father were and are God.

The new savior of the world...

[AppyPappy]

Warren speaking to 15,000: I want you to know that there is a purpose for your life
Translator: Working for Kim Jong will bring true happiness
Warren: and prosperity
Translator: and you will eat succulent meals
Warren and peace
Translator: and you will crush the enemies of the people with your vast strength

[NeoCaveman]

So ronery...

And we all know what happend to Hanz Brix

[TommyDale]

Oh, boy!

[twigs]

It may be naive. But I applaud him for going. How will they hear without a preacher? He's following the great commission. Personally, I think that more times than not, God's will is accomplished through the naive rather than through the "wise" and "logical."

Whatever happened to Awik Bahldwin!

[The Lumster]

The problem is he won't be preaching the true gospel.

Not for a moment do these communist butchers believe that Rick Warren will get up and call the communist faithful to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, at whose name every knee will bow. Not for a moment do these leaders worry that they will have a Christian revival on their hands by letting Mr. Warren speak. That's because Rick Warren is now known as the man with the P.E.A.C.E. Plan and the e's in that acronym do not stand for evangelism. The man-centered, counterfeit gospel preached by Rick Warren is a threat to no earthly regime.

I'm not a Warren fan, living in the US we have a wealth of voices to choose from, and he's just one of many.

In North Korea there is only one voice allowed. Into this environment any voice from the West has got to be a breath of fresh air. I remember when Billy Graham first went into the Soviet Union years ago, he was criticized because he was fairly circumspect in his remarks, and he refused to criticize the regime. But it was a crack in the wall, and not many years later, thanks to God and Reagan, the walls came down.

Macabees had to slaughter a lot of apostate jews in his days too.

There are always the false ones in the wings.

[brytlea]

I gotta agree. So, if one person comes to Christ, it was worth it.

I don't have a problem with him going. My issue is with the idea it will have any impact. The North Koreans always carefully stage manage these kinds of things. The audience will be filled with soldiers and party faithful while putting forth the idea to the rest of the world that North Korea is somehow an open society. And in the end, nothing will change. Certainly North Korea's determination to fire off missiles or develop nukes will not be changed by this. I'm afraid Pastor Warren is being used.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"“God is using Rick Warren to be a messenger of peace!”"



"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." - Jesus

[Not A Snowbird]

I agree.

At least he's getting up off his butt and trying to accomplish something. If they turn away, that's their choice. He's brought them the message.

[ishabibble]

Mr. Well Fed Warren better take a bodyguard with him.
The North Korean people have been reduced to cannibalism in many areas.
