Pastor of Brokback Church

“Jesus wept”.

[Reagan Man]

Another unprincipled, two-faced loser.

[Travis McGee]

“Hey, I just want to be popular. That’s my bottom line.”

Hugh Hewitt, a longtime champion of Rick Warren, is also a longtime champion of Mitt Romney.

At least he's consistent in the kinds of "conservatives" he supports!

Jeremiah 5: No One is Upright
(WHOLE CHAPTER HERE: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=30&chapter=5&version=31 )

Verses 30-31

30 “A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in the land:

31 The prophets prophesy lies,
the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
But what will you do in the end?

[N3WBI3]

This is what happens when a church is more focused on growth than the gospel..

[RegulatorCountry]

I can’t think of an evangelical “leader” who would be shocked by Rick Warren taking the wide path.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I’m hoping this is about confusion and mischievous “reporting”. Proposition 8 was pretty clear, and Warren came out in favor of it, which was the right thing to do. What, he takes a little flak from “opponents” and then goes all wobbly? You can’t be all things to all people, just to be “popular”. Warren of all people should know better.

Warren is publicly exposing himself for whom he really is. A marketer, not a man of God. Jesus said “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15), and God demands heterosexual marriage, not sodomy. 1 John 2:3-4 says, “We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

Haven't people figured out by now that Rick Warren traded Biblical principles in for money and power?

GEESH!

It's so OBVIOUS.

He's also the main culprit behind the entertainment driven “church”. Warren is a self serving wolf in sheep's clothing. He's another fraud. It's no wonder he spoke at the Obomination’s inauguration.

[fwdude]

What's so ironic is that Warren, in his obvious attempt to placate the homo-lobby, will actually increase their disdain for him. His two faced lie was too obvious, and no one likes a schemer.

He'd be much better off just saying he was wrong to support Prop 8, if the love of the homo-nazis is what he's after.

[OneVike]

People I knew gave me a lot of funny looks when I told them I do not think Rick Warren is the real thing.

Now my belief of him is vindicated. When a man's importance in the world becomes more important to him then the word of God, the man will be exposed by God Himself.

This interview in 2008, one minute saying it is like marrying your sister, but divorce is worse, but then he says he can't be against gays because he has them as friends and they do so much for AIDS. Anybody got a translator handy? Getting a divorce is as bad as passing AIDS to a partner or incest? BUT, I am too skeered to be accused of hate speech so I will straddle the fence and agree with both sides as a minister? He does say civil unions which is allowed in Caifornia and not what prop 8 is about. Another confusing statement.

Obama’s selection of Warren to give the invocation the day he was sworn-in as president sparked considerable controversy, mainly because of Warren’s statements regarding gay marriage.

In an interview with Beliefnet, Warren compared gay marriage to marriage between a brother and a sister, or marriage between an older man and a child or even polygamy.

“This is not a Christian issue. Historically, a marriage is a man and a woman,” Warren said, explaining that he mainly opposed California’s Proposition 8 because it would have classified sermons by preachers against gay marriage as “hate speech.”

But, said Warren in the interview, it’s a “no brainer” that divorce is a bigger threat to marriage than gay couples being allowed to wed. And, Warren added, that he had no problem with civil unions that give legal rights to gay couples such as health insurance and hospital visitation rights, a position out of line with most conservative evangelicals.

“I have many gay friends…I’ve eaten din in gay homes,” Warren said. “No church has probably done more for people with AIDSs than Saddleback Church.”

This is the couple who go to Kenya as missionaries. They tried to alert everyone who obama was and his intent last year. Here they speak of A Purpose Driven Life. I don't know anything about the Loren Davis religion.

Rick Warren is an alumnus of Fuller Theological school.

What has happened is simple and tragic: Rock Warren has been corrupted. I don’t believe in bolting churches or denominations just because, say, you don’t like the choir. However, since Rick Warren — or the Bible as translated by Rick Warren — is the final authority at his church, it is clear that orthodox Christians at Saddleback should leave Saddleback for another one.

[Star Traveler]

Hmmmm...,. Obama “got to him”...

[TruthHound]

Peter denied Jesus three times before the dawn.

Rick Warren is up to two...

[LifeComesFirst]

I’m not a Rick Warren fan, and I am a Bible-thumping believer, but I don’t want the government getting involved in marriage at all.

[mkleesma]

I’ve never liked this guy - he’s a little too caught up in his own fame.
Purpose Driven Life - nice words, but only that if the author follows them himself.

[Lancey Howard]

Rick Warren is just another Jim Bakker/Jimmy Swaggert-style whore.
