Ah, yes, never fails -- the Special Revelation gambit.
Shall we list all the ministers who have derailed themselves by "doing that which is right in their own eyes"? By getting a SPECIAL "Revelation", a "new" gospel?
No, better not. There aren't enough bits in the universe to contain a list that long!
SCRIPTURE SAYS--BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKERS. JESUS SAID THAT.
Careful now, you're treading on thin ice.
I seem to recall something else, too; something about those who cry "peace, peace, when there is no peace."
You are flaying madly at anything -- anything, and every one -- that you perceive as a threat to your cultmaster. This is very dangerous territory for anyone with a soul, who believes she is a Christian, who claims to believe the Bible. You are at a fork in the road. Choose wisely, you cannot serve two masters.
Look, dear, if you want to play Amateur Torquemada, then don't go playing coy games when the targets of your inquisition demand a two-way street.
Either deal with your opponents by reasoning with them, or ignore them, but don't you DARE try to censor us.
If you cannot win a debate on the merits, then how dare you try to censor those who have bettered you!
What astronomical gall!
And for Your Royal Information, I have been posting on matters regarding this charlatan for perhaps ONE DAY.
If that is too much for you to bear, then I suggest you try growing a bit of a thicker skin, because more and more people are waking up to the damage he's doing, and they've had it up to here with it! And they will NOT be silenced!
And if by some cockamamie stroke of fortune you DO manage to silence people here, well, it's a BIG Internet, toots. You might want to keep that in mind.
The more you try to silence someone, the more intent they become on getting their message out.
You keep referring to your targets as "dogs".
That is a particularly Islamic trait, based on my observation. Have you once worn the Burkha?
Wow, this is beyond surreal.
I can think of only ONE person who has persisted in leveling a barrage of personal attacks in this thread -- and that's YOU!

whhhhhooooooooooooooooaaaa
1. Don't recall flaying at all. Certainly not madly. Certainly not at anything. Certainly not at everyone [that is much more another group's SOP]. But, hey, nice personal assault and personal set of specific accusations.
2. MY "cult" "master?"
BALDERDASH TO THE MAX.
The LORD JESUS THE CHRIST alone is my Master--as He well knows given the many long dark nights of the soul and fiery furnaces He's led me through to get me to that state. LOL.
I'd have thought folks with discernment would have easily detected that. Maybe the . . . fleshly version of discernment just doesn't make the grade or for very long or very well?
I don't consider folks teaching, preaching, abiding by--especially mostly--the basic tenets of Christianity to be cultists. I'm skeptical Christ does either.
3. "for anyone with a soul." vs what/who--me? Ahhhhh, so now, I'm considered to probably be a . . . what . . . a monkey? Oh, I know--a baboon! Been called worse.
4. "she?" Not the last time I checked my vasectomy.
Goodness--given such gross errors about me, no wonder so many are so off the deep end about RW. Sheesh!
5. I chose my Lord and Master a long time ago. He's been helping me deepen the loyalty, relationship, love for decades since. PTL AND BLESS HIS PRECIOUS NAME, FOR THAT.
6. Perhaps wholesale erroneous destructive broadsides would be more fittingly hurled at someone else.
You spoke in grand sweeping generalities, and then complain when asked to clairify a point?
Sheesh!
Acolyte: "Rick Warren is a Saint! A Mighty Man of God!"
Critic: "Oh, then what about..."
Acolyte: "STOP NITPICKING! UNFAIR!"
Critic: "Um, whatever."
You're really struggling here to make a case for your view.

Not really. I merely toss out food for thought
FOR THOSE WHO CARE TO THINK and consider reality vs inuendos, false accusations, differences of opinions on mostly minor stuff etc.
It's abundantly clear that there's 0.0000000000000000000000% chance of changing the minds and less the hearts of Jr Accusers. I don't really write to them anyway. They are merely foils for what I have to say to lurkers.
I haven't found discernment worth a hoot even when added together as a sum and multiplied many times over . . . in the whole lot of the . . .
You keep referring to your targets as "dogs".

I like it better when folks tell the TRUTH about me as well as about RW.
Straw dogs has always been a reference to ARGUMENTS, IDEAS, PERSPECTIVES, POSITIONS etc.
That was obvious.
Therefore, twisting it to a personal assault is interesting.
It is not hair-splitting. It is twisting the very Wod of God, and deceiving people...including unbelievers - giving them a false sense of the Kingdom. It is anything but trivial.
Good grief, get over yourself already.
All you listed and more. I don't see how anyone can defend his actions.
You've proven my point.
A good church is hard to find.
Ever get the feeling that this is one of Rick's own staffers? These people remind me of the followers of Jim Jones in Guyana. They would drink the Kool-Aid rather than look at the problem.
Very true! These days when you even mention the word “sin”, someone will always chime in with “Jesus “hung out” with sinners” “Jesus ate with sinners” as if He somehow condoned it.
Interesting! Thanks.
I have quickly discovered this is the gauge many people are using. "Rick Warren has sold "X" number of books. Obviously he's doing something right!" As if that is some indication. The Spice Girls sold a lot of records in the 90's. All it tells me is some people will fall for anything.
Some of us get our "prissy notions" from the Bible.
We're not going by YOUR book.
