Rick Warrren is the very definition of false prophet.
the kind the bible warns us about.

The ‘RATS warned us after the 2004 election that they were going to do this. Many of the DemocRAT “stategeryists” said that the ‘RATS had to do things that would make them appear more religious to the ignorant “Joe Sixpack.”

I have some friends that go to one of those “big box churches” (for lack of a better term). They lean so far Left it makes me dizzy.

Sorry. The Baptists around here are voting Obambi no matter what.

The culture of life is coming in a poor second to people’s pocketbooks, gasoline prices, food inflation, and housing equity.

One of our good friends is an elder and refuses to even entertain a GOP argument.

There always has been a market for liberal mega churches
so that lefties can have a place to go and not feel so
guilty about supporting homosexuals and baby killers.

These are people who weren’t voting for us anyway and can now call themselves “christians” as they “go to church” and help kill another baby and help another homosexual couple get their right to marry and adopt children.

I agree with that. New age, neo pagan, pro death with a little religion thrown in to fool the rubes. And they are legion among evangelicals and the populace, in general.

Since when has spiritual psychobabble replaced speaking in tongues?

I see Rick Warren as a "New Age" feel good Evangelical suitable for a California flake ministry. The fact that Brokeback/Saddleback Church is large says more about the lemmings out there than the quality of his message.

Warren himself has leveraged his influence for good, studying what works and what doesn't in meeting needs. He forged a strategy to link churches into a giant “network of networks” dedicated to relieving poverty and misery in developing nations. He hopes to count 10,000 churches in the network by 2010, and ultimately to mobilize one billion Christians worldwide.

Comment:

OBAMA CHRISTIAN IN NAME ONLY (CINO)

No true believer in Christ can condone the murder and destruction of what God put on this earth whether inside or outside a mothers womb.

Barry Hussein Obama follows a faith that allows him to believe that it is OK to murder Gods children.

Jeremiah 14:14 (New International Version)
14 Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries [a] and the delusions of their own minds.

Matthew 7:15 (New International Version)
A Tree and Its Fruit
15”Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Romans 3:7
Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”

2 Peter 2:1
[ False Teachers and Their Destruction ] But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

1 John 4:1
[ Test the Spirits ] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

“Sorry. The Baptists around here are voting Obambi no matter what.”

Sold out pretty cheap, eh?

“The culture of life is coming in a poor second to people’s pocketbooks, gasoline prices, food inflation, and housing equity.”

Never mind that the Democrat policies create higher energy prices. Stupidity, is it an incurable disease?

“One of our good friends is an elder and refuses to even entertain a GOP argument.”

DEMOCRATS MAKE YOU POORER.

So what your saying is these Baptist are phony Christians. Giving these people $1000 for gas is more important than saving lives. They were never really Christians. I hope they pay dearly for their position.

The Baptists I know think Obama is the Antichrist. They certainly aren't voting for him.

Obama is the antichrist and rick warren is the false prophet using sheeps clothing to cast him as an evangelical.

Oh, and I still see it’s okay for RATS to use a religious venue while had republicans set any such event up it would be shot down with the same RATS crying “seperation of church and state” at the top of thier lungs.

The big hook for the Christians in the Republican party is the Pro-Life platform, and the conservative agenda. Offer a candidate who is an opportunist (at best) on life, and a liberal in other respects, and there is no reason for the Christians to stick around. You asked for it, you got it.
