To: Nevadan

Nevadan, you are not by any chance yourself part of Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church” are you? Being a “Nevadan” and not a Californian, I wouldn’t think so. Or, perhaps you are just one who have read his books, and swallowed his “purpose driven” line.

I was given one of his books, skimmed through it, saw enough to convince me that his stuff is written in such a manner as to appeal to postmodern types. By postmodern I mean those of modern times who have come to believe there no longer exists objective truth - as the Bible purports to be.

Warren is a slick California motivational psychologist. Rather than preach objective Biblical truth, he makes a sycretism out of it, watering Biblical truth and the gospel down to appeal to the postmodern mindset.

What we need is Bible Driven Churches, not Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven ones.

Now, if Warren were to actually preach to these Muslims Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the only way to God, as John 14 plainly says he is, then I will stand corrected (and happily so). The objective gospel truth, in other words. On the other hand, if he doesn’t, will you admit you were wrong?

I haven't said where I am on Rick Warren. You said he was a “leading advocate of one world religion, “Chrislam”. All I asked you was if you had concrete evidence of this. You've said he is “postmodern” and no longer believes that objective truth exists. You said he is a “slick California motivation psychologist”. You said Warren has watered down Biblical truth and the gospel to “appeal to the postmodern mindset”.

Can you give exact source references where Rick Warren has done or said the things you claim? And, you still haven't given any evidence regarding your claim that Warren is now advocating a Christian-Muslim combo faith (at least that's what I assume you mean by “Christ-lam”). I'm not accusing you of anything, nor am I defending Rick Warren. I'm just asking you for specific, sourced references to back-up what you say about Warren. I really want to know if what you are saying is true about him. That's all.
