At 0113 I am not prepared to give examples. But, what you have said is not true. There are a number of examples, many cited in the works that I linked, that change the meaning of the cited Scriptures.
I acknowledge that the pews are not filled with theologians, but that is no excuse for those charged with the responsibility for teaching the Word of God to distort what it says to make a point. Oddly enough, the fact that the pews are not filled with theologians is the fault of the preachers and teachers who don't feel the need to teach the whole counsel of God. I dare say the people in the pews could not begin to handle the sermons of great preachers of the past like Charles Spurgeon, John Calvin, etc. We have so watered down the preaching today, and have become so self-centerd, focusing more on how can I survive this life, rather than looking towards heaven, that we have lost the depth in the pew that would never accept a book like Rick Warren's - and that is to the shame of the pastor/teachers who should know better.
Maybe at your church. But it is not universal. There are many large churches that fill the pews with people eager to learn the whole counsel of God. And many large Churches fill that need. Those churches tend to grow rapidly. You mention Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon was the pastor of the largest congregation on England. You seem to have nothing but praise for him. I've read many of his sermons, and he was NOT an expository preacher. He did not extensively quote Bible verses and did not go through the whole bible one verse at a time. He used illustrations and his sermons were fairly "entertaining" for their day. Rick Warren may not be a Spurgeon, but, as the quotes above illustrate, he certainly isn't the Anti-Christ.
How sad but true. The me centered "worship" is disheartening. And the dumbing down is a real discredit to the folks in the pews in all honesty.
