For the Communists, the Cold War is definitely NOT OVER.

World Council of Churches is not Christian, is not a church, is evil and must be stopped.

"World Council of Churches is not Christian, is not a church, is evil and must be stopped".





I'll be 64 in a couple of weeks, but still remember Sunday School material from my early childhood that I later realized was marxist in origin. I left the Methodist Church before I was 20, when I realized how far gone things were. There was no stopping the corruption, the body of the church embraced it eagerly.
I was a "wild child" never totally "housebroke", but for anyone raised to see only peace and order as the pinnacle of human achievement, it was an easy sell. I'm still not totally "housebroke".

I grew up in a conservative church (it changed, The United Church of Christ). Now I'm in a mostly Conservative United Methodist Church but this year they started spending like drunken sailors. Mark Tooly the author of this post goes to this church. It is hard to keep Satan out.

Do you know who Sun Yat-sen was? I can recall Sunday School lessons where he was almost rated as sitting at God's right hand. I was a curious kid, and a voracious reader, and did my own research. I know the sweet old ladies who taught the class didn't have a clue, they were just following orders. Kids are taught not to question Sunday School lessons, have you checked out what is in them?

This left wing Christian groups would be laughable, if it wasn't for the damage they do.

They overlooked mentioning the communist part, and the ties to the soviet union. I know things were bad in China, but it did not have to go communist.

Well, Sun yat-sen was a Christian sure, and he is definitely a great man in Chinese history. But I don't doubt he made a mistake in getting the Soviets involved in aiding the revolution. Although in 1922 he declared that "The Soviet system and ideology itself is not suitable for China's revolution..." little did he realize that he was duped to grow the Communists as a credible force in China by the Soviets.

It was after he died that Chiang Kai-shek and others in the KMT know what went wrong and tried to remedy that.

Thing is, I don't recall any Sunday School lessons about our revolutionary heros.
The day I stood up and walked out, the preacher had a couple of things to talk about, gun control, and raising money to help the VC build field hospitals. I'm not curious enough to go back and hear what they're sayng now.

They belong in history lessons (for you, foreign history and local history for us) more than Sunday school lessons. But wasn't Sun Yat-sen a Christian that driven by his Christian status, worked to overthrow the Qing dynasty? Because in such case it would be perfectly acceptable to put his life as a study of what impacts Christians can make in the world.

"Altmann had a four hour dinner with Castro in 1999, during which he explained how Martin Luther had challenged the Catholic Church. Of course, Castro responded that he could identify with the Protestant Reformer in that regard."

Yo, Chuck...got any response to the Marxists?

I say, WCC exhibits the same anti-christ characteristics as "Il Pappa".

There is no such thing as Soviet Ghosts because a Soviet runs Russia... (Putin)

"During its salad days, the CPC was crucial in enlisting church groups to back Soviet foreign policy objectives"

The Russian Orthodox Church still does this in this country.
