This false prophet was Bill Clinton’s “spiritual advisor” to cover up the adulterer’s affair with Monica. He is a political wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Wallis was in SDS in college. Graduated from Trinity Evangelical Seminary in Chicago area. He does mix liberation theology with Bible.
During his seminary years he headed a publication called:The Post American...that should give you a clue as to his politics way back in the mid 1970’s...it was from there he went on to start the Sojourner organization.

Wallis has been off the reservation (if he was ever on it) for a long long time.

Kookiness.

I don’t believe for one moment that Jim Wallis even believes in God. He speaks like an outright fraud.

Jim Wallis, like "reverend" Wright, is a proponent of communist "Liberation Theology". Neither has a serious religious faith.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Liberation Theology and the KGB

Jay Richards | February 2, 2010

The presence of Marxism in liberation theology is well-known, at least to seminarians who are critical readers. Practically every seminarian reads Gustavo Gutierrez’s Theology of Liberation at some point, but most laypeople find it hard to believe that there could have been (and continues to be) a widespread attempt to hybridize Christian theology and Marxism.

Marxist regimes obviously benefitted from the spread of liberation theology in the churches. Still, I was not aware of any connections between liberation theology and communist clandestine organizations until now.

A new article by Robert D. Chapman in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence begins to connect some dots. In “The Church in Revolution,” Chapman, “a retired operations officer in the Clandestine Services Division of the Central Intelligence Agency,” argues that the KGB infiltrated the Russian Orthodox Church through Metropolitan Nikodim, the Russian Orthodoxy’s second-ranking prelate. Nikodim was a proponent of liberation theology. Nikodim was active in the otherwise-Protestant World Council of Churches. And the WCC, of course, became an actively left-wing organization during the last half of the 20th century.

Chapman also details the growth of liberation theology in Latin America—and the Vatican’s struggles with it—and the growth of black liberation theology in the United States. Prominent proponents of the latter include James Cone and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The arguments of liberation theologians should be challenged on their merits. The source of an argument, after all, doesn’t establish its truth or falsity. Still, it’s interesting to learn that liberation theology may have been, at least in part, a project of the KGB.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just history. Chapman concludes ominously:

"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB’s headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.

A friend of mine, a head of Catholic social services in my area and formerly a priest, is a liberation theologian. He has made a number of humanitarian trips to Central America and told me, ‘‘liberation theology is alive and well.’’ The same can be said of its sibling in the United States [ie, Black Liberation Theology]."

There was a time when Wallis had a vision of a reconsituted first-Century house church in modern America, and he expressed that very beautifully in the final chapter of his first book, “The Call to Conversion”.

The Eucharist was to be central. The chapter had echoes of Bonhoffer’s “Life Together.”

Sadly, Wallis has, in the words of St. John in Revelation, “lost his first love.”

Jim Wallis is one of many supposed ‘clerics’ who have led people astray. Tony Campolo is another. What a huge disappointment he was when he endorsed gay marriage.

He and Comrade Pope should get along famously. Did His Arrogance invite Comrade Rev. Wallis to be part of his entourage when he conspires with Comrade Pope on Climate Change and installing the NWO?
