Rick Warren is NOT teaching the ways or wisdom of Christ.

= = =

Hogwash. There's plenty to support the construction that the above sentence is a brazen lie.

Basically, he's not doing so ACCORDING TO OTHER'S SPECIFICATIONS.

Well tough taco. He has only to be concerned about God's specifications for him.

Quix: [... ACCORDING TO OTHER'S SPECIFICATIONS...]

Glad to see you have come out fighting today.
I agree with this defense. It's always a bad
idea to outline for God.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the
wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19)

As I stated to another person here ... and you in particular ... deviating from Scripture is nothing unusual with Rick Warren. Nor is hanging out with PRO abortion people and promoting condoms.

Again, none of this is in agreement with what the Bible teaches. What the Bible teaches makes sense and WORKS. You'd almost think RW ONLY cares about himself and the $$$ he makes pushing twisted Scripture and lying about Biblical truth.

Just what is Warren's self righteous excuse for recommending condoms?

With just a little thought, forget about what the Bible states, SECULAR research supports ABSTINENCE to stop AIDS spread through premarital sex.

Hostage Gave Meth to Atlanta Fugitive

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1492228/posts

September 27,2005 | ATLANTA -- The woman who says she gained the trust of suspected courthouse gunman Brian Nichols by talking about her faith in God discloses in a new book that she gave him methamphetamine during the hostage ordeal.

Ashley Smith did not share that detail with authorities after she talked her way out of captivity.

In her book, "Unlikely Angel," released Tuesday, Smith says Nichols had her bound on her bed with masking tape and an extension cord. She says he asked for marijuana, but she did not have any, and dug into her crystal methamphetamine stash instead.

Smith, who has been in a mental hospital and has flunked out of drug rehabilitation programs, says the seven-hour hostage ordeal led her to stop using drugs. She says she has not touched drugs since the night before she was taken hostage.

"If I did die, I wasn't going to heaven and say, `Oh, excuse me, God. Let me wipe my nose, because I just did some drugs before I got here,'" Smith told the Augusta Chronicle.

Police said Nichols took Smith hostage in her apartment March 11 after a shooting rampage at the Fulton County Courthouse. Nichols is accused of killing four people, including a judge.

Smith's 911 call to police when she was released led authorities to Nichols. She said she read him passages from author Rick Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life" to gain his trust.

She was later bombarded with offers for books, movies and speaking engagements.

Financial details of the book have not been released, but she pledged to donate an undisclosed portion of the book's proceeds to a memorial fund for the victims.
