Ben Stein will appear.

It really doesn't matter what Stein says. What he DOES is support radical left wing candidates with his money.

Christ Died for Mankind’s Negative Self-Image Says Dreamer Robert Schuller

Published October 30th, 2007 by Ken Silva in Seeker Sensitive, Apostasy, False Prophets, New Evangelicalism

Here is Robert Schuller from his travesty of a book Self-Esteem: The New Reformation:

If only we could love ourselves enough to dare to approach God, what constructive dreams he would give us! What noble possibilities God wants to reveal to us–possibilities that would offer stimulation plus real security in service. But we feel too unworthy. So one layer of negative behavior is laid upon another until we emerge as rebellious sinners. But our rebellion is a reaction, not our nature. By nature we are fearful, not bad.

Original sin is not a mean streak; it is a nontrusting inclination. The core of original sin, then is LOT–Lack of Trust. Or, it could be considered an innate inability to adequately value ourselves. Label it a "negative self-image," but do not say that the central core of the human soul is wickedness. If this were so, then truly, the human being is totally depraved. But positive Christianity does not hold to human depravity, but to human inability. I am humanly unable to correct my negative self-image until I encounter a life-changing experience with nonjudgmental love bestowed upon me by a Person whom I admire so much that to be unconditionally accepted by him is to be born again. (66,67, emphasis mine)

Given Schuller's outright heresy, why would any Christian leader associate with him?

This line from their website...
Rethink Tank - Where thought leaders become your thought partners!

Thought Partners??? - Did someone somewhere decide already and announce it on the nightly news that we are all in need of Thought Partners now? Are Thought Partners included in the registration fee or do they cost extra and how much for the trade marked Thought Partner Brain Chip? Installation?

I don't know if Schuller is biblically illiterate. I believe he presents 'another gospel'....the gospel of SELF. Jesus said to the rich young ruler...."deny self, take up the Cross and follow me." Schuller preaches another Jesus. He declares we need a new reformation....that the Reformation, and the reformers were inadequet with their cry across Europe..."SOLA SCRIPTURA"...only the scripture. Men like Hugh Latimer, Bishop and Martyr, who, upon being determined to be a heritic to the catholic church, Bloody Mary ordered him burned. His last words before being burned at the stake was to another bishop, Nicholas Ridley, saying, "Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man, for we shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust by Gods' grace shall never be put out."

So Schuller denegrates the Martyr Latimer who was burned alive at the stake for Christs'sake and says the Reformers were wrong...Sola scriptura was inadequet....we need a new reformation of self esteem, self agrandizement, self actualization, and I say self ad nauseum. Jesus said SELF was the very problem. But Schuller and his tribe offer a new reformation, an improved reformation, a delusion of Self idolotry. God have mercy on this country, born from the caldron of the reformation, only to turn to idols. It is an all too familiar refrain.

SOLA SCRIPTURA, Sola CRIST.
