If you’re going to try to convince people that Rick Warren is somehow a conservative church leader, you’re going to have a tough sell. Just sayin.
“If you’re going to try to convince people that Rick Warren is somehow a conservative church leader, you’re going to have a tough sell.”
Warren accepts and preaches the supreme, infallible, authority of scripture, and the literal truths of the creeds, such as the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, the supernatural miracles of scripture, the fully divine and fully human natures of Christ, the holy trinity, the physical return of Jesus at the 2nd Coming, rejects homosexual practice.... and etc. Such things DEFINE theological conservatism (and orthodox Christianity, actually). Liberal churchmen reject ALL of the above...
Other than a contemporary worship style, and music, how exactly is Rick Warren THEOLOGICALLY liberal?
{Theological conservatism may, or may not, bring about conservative politics—depends a lot on how well informed a given Christian leader may be about politics. A lot of what is seen as sympathy toward liberal politics is simply a rather lame, uninformed naivete on the part of some Christian leaders. After all, if you only watched CNN....you may be politically moderate or liberal too.}
I’m not a big fan of Rick Warren. None-the-less, on any Christian theological scale, he is certainly conservative.
