Whether or not he's a Christian, I have a major problem calling him a "conservative"
I have a problem calling Rick Warren a Christian, nor to I care for his spin on politics.
Isn’t Rick Warren one of those Chrislam people?
The mormonophobes are outcasts not endorsed by any candidate
“Rick Warren is not a christian he is a Muslim kiss up..and also friends to Obama..”
We have big time pastors, such as Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback church diving into the sewage of political correctness and compromise. He talks of a Christian and Islamic partnership. He calls Christians and Muslims to work with each other and focus on a social doctrine, namely, spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, extreme poverty, disease and illiteracy.
Apparently, in our newfound religion of ‘chrislam’ we are to ignore the gospel of Christ, which doesn’t include Muhammad’s vision and oppressive teaching?
At the very least, we are to water down and push to the back room, the unique, gospel message of Jesus. Are we to pretend fundamentalist Islam doesn’t want a worldwide caliphate, preach jihad and death to infidels, Christians and Jews.
Islam denies God in three persons as well.
I would vote for a Zoroastrian or a Tengri shaman or Shinto priest or an Odinist who was conservative. I won’t vote for a smug abortion mongering statist no matter what label he wears.
As a Christian, a Gingrich supporter and an American, I am not so much concerned about Romney’s Christianness as I am about getting rid of the Islamist Marxist currently in the White House. The more I learn about the Frankfurt School, critical theory, Alinsky, etc., the more clear becomes Obama’s plans for America. Of all the attempts to destroy our Republic, we are closer to the end of America as it was intended as ever. Are we strong enough, knowledgeable enough and resolved enough to preserve our Republic?.
Hey Rick, how would you classify Obama’s “religion”?
Instead of bashing Rick why don't you listen to a service and get your facts straight.
Surely he knew the tenets of "Black Liberation Theology" as expressed by its founder James Cone. Here's a few:
From “A Black Theology of Liberation” by James H. Cone (1970)
The black experience is the feeling one has when attacking the enemy of black humanity by throwing a Molotov cocktail into a white-owned building and watching it go up in flames. (Page 25)From “Black Theology and Black Power” by James H. Cone (1969):The black Christ is he who nourishes the rebellious impulse in blacks so that at the appointed time the black community can respond collectively to the white community as a corporate “bad nigger,” lashing out at the enemy of human-kind. (page 121)
To be a disciple of the black Christ is to become black with him. Looting, burning, or the destruction of white property are not primary concerns. Such matters can only be decided by the oppressed themselves who are seeking to develop their images of the black Christ. (page 123)
All white men are responsible for white oppression. (page 24)…violence may be the black man’s expression, sometimes the only possible expression, of Christian love to the white oppressor. (page 55)
As for how closely Obama's spiritual "Christian" mentor followed in James Cones footsteps:
Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago is the church most frequently cited by press accounts, and by Cone as the best example of a church formally founded on the vision of Black liberation theology.
Given the position he holds in the Mormon church, Bishop Romney will have a hard time distancing himself from the troubling revelations about Mormonism that will be coming out over the general election campaign. It's not like he's someone who is a casual member who occasionally sits in the pews and could plausibly claim ignorance.
Rick is not a Christian and no judge of Mitt.
I think Richard Land summed it up well when he indicated alot of Christians have a problem with Romney because “he isn’t Mormon enough”. It is perceived that most Mormons are very conservative and some of Romney’s policy positions and stands in the past doesn’t square with a what some perceive someone from the Mormon faith adhering to. Right or wrong, that’s the view of many.
Whaa? Who is Christine? And why should I care about her point of view?
Early on in the Republican contest, Santorum had the best answer to this kind of question. He said a candidate's VALUES are the most important--not necessarily what religion to which they were an adherent.
Applause followed his answer.
Look, Jimmy Carter was a Southern Baptist. Gimme a break. Until Obama came along, he was the worst occupant of the Oval Office in my lifetime.
I'd rather have a conservative Catholic (or Mormon) than a liberal Baptist. I'd rather have a conservative Baptist than a liberal Mormon. You take what you can get.
The Republicans are down to, what, a very conservative Catholic (Santorum) to a converted Catholic (Gingrich) to an unknown non-religious guy (Paul) to a middling Mormon (Romney).
Not exactly a collection of WASPs. :)
And ANY of them will be better than Jeremiah Wright's little buddy, the JOKER socialist Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm).
Have a problem with Mitt. Have a bigger problem with Rick Warren.
(Have a problem with RNC/GOP for insuring Romney nomination.
Will have a problem voting for him ; but not supporting Obama: in amy fashion including ‘omission’.
My question is why did not Christian Rick Warren make a statement about Zer0’s Christianity as practiced in his Chicago church under Rev. Jerimiah Wright? You would think that Rick Warren would recognize Black Liberation Theology when he saw it. However, Rick Warren was mum on the Zer0 because he is in Zer0’s camp. That is why he is bringing up the Mormon topic—to cast Christian negatives on Mitt with the use of Christianity.
Does Rick Warren’s church have “Jesus Christ” as part of its name? Because if not, I’d really question whether Rick Warren is a Christian.
I have a problem with calling Rick Warren a Christian also...
LOL, perfect.
Romney is a Christian the way that a Muslim is a Christian. They acknowledge the divine nature of Christ, but both religions say that their prophets supersede and perfect Christ’s teachings, and that their “holy books” supersede the Bible.
