Doing goood?????? What good is he doing if he is not teaching Christ, after all he is USING Christ's name.

Seems to me that there are millions of people who use Christ's Name that probably shouldn't - but that doesn't take away from the good that they do.

When a Buddhist in China helps another - that is a good thing. And when Rick Warren helps a lot of people - that is a good thing. Love and forgiveness are good things. Kindness and charity toward others are good things.

Christ set the path, the standard by which we are to follow.

There are not millions of people sidling up beside the king of Syria calling him 'wise' in Christ's name.

Again if you knew historically what Damascus/Syria and/or Assyrian represented you might understand how Mr. Warren flushed his credibility as preacher in Christ's name.

Let him then find another method and means outside of selling his writings, claiming it Christian as helping. He helps no one if he misleads people away from Christ by preaching peace, peace, peace, when Christ Himself said there would be NO peace until He returns. Further the mark of the pretender Christ is that very thing peace, peace, peace and if Mr. Warren reallllllllly knew his Bible he would know this.

Christ is said to be returning with a two edged sword for a harvest, now that is not a picture of huggggs and kisssses, love, love, love, like some 60's hit song.

But the Buddhist in China is lost. Without Jesus there is no salvation. No hope. For HE is the only way. There's not enough good in the world to change that or get around it. None of us can do enough. Works won't get it done. An athiest can do so called "good deeds". Isaiah 64:6--But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

It is Christ who should be the focus. We must look to Him, not a man. Only He is worthy of our praise.
