Rick Warren Exposed: Rick Warren Global AIDS Summit:-Pass Out Condoms And Needles

Rick Warren has exposed himself by his suggestions at the Global AIDS Summit.

There is no safe condom in the protection against the AIDS virus. The virus is so virulent it can penetrate through the strongest condom, and this is a proven scientific fact. Passing out condoms encourages, promotes and reinforces free sex and disease Yet, this is what Rick Warren is advocating.

 Passing out needles encourages, promotes and reinforces drug addiction and disease. Yet, this is what Rick Warren is suggesting.   The entire program is a worldly minded agenda from worldly minded men, and is giving the masses a sense of false hope. There are consequences to sin. The only protection for this disease and any sexually transmitted disease is the narrow road through the Cross of Jesus Christ, repenting and turning away from sin, which is not being presented by Warren who claims to be a pastor. Warren now is part of the problem, and not the solution for AIDS.

Rick Warren in audio from You Tube

Here it with your own ears what he himself denied saying about Syria to Saddlebackers and the media following Warren's Syria trip comments. Rick Warren in Syria statements of how great the Assad regime treats Christians and Jews and how Damascus "does not permit extremism of any kind" caught on audio.
Who Does Warren Serve? Read About It Here.

Rick Warren has managed to fool those poor blind souls at Saddleback, and the millions who have wasted their money on his purpose driven lies, and made him famous, but anyone who reads the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of Jesus Christ can see that Warren's words and the Words of Christ don't add up.

The P.E.A.C.E. PLAN he claims he is building is a satanic New World Order Plan and anyone familiar with Scripture knows there will be a false peace under the rule of the antichrist. There will never be peace because the Holy Scriptures make it perfectly clear that there will never be peace on earth until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom on earth. Revelation 19-21...If Rick Warren claims he believes the Bible, as I heard him say on the "no spin zone" last nite, why is it Warren omitted this from his P.E.A.C.E. Plan?

And why is it that he talks about "god", but he never mentions that salvation comes by repentence and turning away from sin through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ by His atonement of sin through His blood He shed for us on the cross?? WAKE UP SADDLEBACK!! YOU ARE BEING AND HAVE BEEN DECEIVED!!

"Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Acts 2:38,39

Jesus never said there would be peace in the world; in fact, Jesus said the opposite!

 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.John 16:33

The last thing Jesus commanded his disciples after his resurrection was "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". Matthew 28:19

Christian missionaries have been obeying this commandment of Christ for centuries.

Where has Rick Warren been all his life? Maybe Warren needs to  go to Syria and present the Gospel of Christ as Christ commanded in Scripture since he thinks the Syrian dictator Assad is so friendly toward Christianity, and tell him and his terrorist, anti-Israel regime to repent of their sins, pick up their cross and follow Christ. He should tell Assad he needs to repent of his sins and crimes committed against Christians and Jews living under Assad's dictatorship, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ instead of pushing his one world purpose driven agenda

Warren's  thinking he will bring about peace in the world goes directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures. The fact that Warren touts he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization of elites [at least they think they are], whose goal is to bring about a one world government sends a loud message. I am sure all the Saddlebackers will be hearing from Warren or his propaganda machine to ward off damage control. Don't believe them. WAKE UP SADDLEBACK!!!

Jesus Said Beware The Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 7:15

See Warren's One World Government P.E.A.C.E. PLAN FOR ALL THE DETAILS OF THIS FALSE PEACE PLAN

Remember the words to Timothy from the Apostle Paul:
I CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:1-4.

Rick Warren Says Muslims and Christians Worship Same God

Rick Warren speaks at the Islamic Society of North America 46th annual convention on July 4, 2009, in Washington, D.C


The Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America's most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Story here.

Rick Warren can say what he wants, but that doesn't make it so.

New World Order pastor and CFR  puppet propagandist Rick Warren by acknowledging that Christians and muslims worship the same God, indeed, is now admitting that he himself is not a Christian.

Even most  muslims know that Christians and muslims do not worship the same God and must be laughing at Warren behind his back. Not only is Rick Warren deceiving himself, but he is also deceiving those millions of unaware  muslims and Christians  he has contact with and Rick Warren will be held accountable to God for deceiving millions.

Throughout the Middle East and Asia and Africa, and Israel on a daily basis, Christians and Jews and muslims  are murdered in the name of the muslim god, "allah", by muslims,  are severely persecuted, beheaded and hanged for denouncing Islam to follow the Son of God, Jesus Christ who Himself is God. Since 1948, muslims have called for the extermination of the Jews in Israel. Check out the Religion of Peace, Jihad Watch and Atlas Shrugs, or any Palestinian  media in the Middle East to see first hand  how Islamists treat Christians and Jews, people of other religions,  and their own fellow muslims who leave Islam for Christianity.  Check out these same sites how Islam treat women.

Only a wolf in sheep's clothing, or an apostate, or someone who has committed spiritual blasphemy, could say that muslims and Christians worship the same God.  Islam and Biblical Christianity have absolutely nothing in common.

The muslim god is called "allah". The name of the Christian God in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible, is from Exodus 3:14, and is   "I AM", or "YHVH" or YAHWEH - the special name of God was combined with "The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER,  and this is my memorial unto all generations". See Exodus 3:15-16.

There is only one God.  So the question is: When was the last time you heard a muslim call the Lord God Almighty by His chosen Hebrew name which God himself declared is His Name forever?  When did you ever hear a muslim say 'Jesus is LORD?"

The god of Islam and the God of the Bible have completely opposite attitudes and goals with a totally different morality, as servants of Islam  have shown for  over 1400 years, continuing through today.

For instance, their book tells those who follow Islam:
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait [ambush] for them in every stratagem (of war)" Sura 9:5.
The God of the Bible, God's Son, Yeshua (Jesus)  tells His people to "Bless them that curse you." Luke 6:28

Muslims do not believe that God has a Son. Muslims do not believe that Jesus ever claimed to be God's Son, but will tell you that Jesus was a prophet only, denying the very words of Jesus Himself.  Muslims will even tell you they believe in Jesus, to convince you that their god is the same as the Christian God in an effort to convert you to Islam.

Jesus said:

Matthew 11:27-28 "All things are delivered unto me of my father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son  will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Luke 10:22 "All things are delivered to me of my Father:  and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son  will reveal him.

Muslims believe that God has no Son and deny the Holy Trinity.
Sura 4:171: O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs
 Muslims claim Christians are polytheistic because Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, but Jesus said
 "I and My Father are One." John 10:30
One in Greek, meaning one essense. In other words, Jesus is saying He and God the Father are one being.

Muslims do not believe that Jesus was crucified on the cross for the atonement of the sins of humanity.
Surah 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
If a muslim were to confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God he would be committing "shirk",  the greatest sin in Islam and the only unpardonable sin. And the penalty is death.

Without Jesus the Son of God, who shed His blood on the cross at calvary to atone for the sins of the human race, there can be no salvation. Hebrews 9:22

Islam and Christianity are the exact opposite and are not compatible with one another.

Rick Warren follows another gospel, another god, another jesus, and not the Gospel of Christ.

The Jewish Apostle Paul issues a stern warning in Galatians 1:8
 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."
I urge everyone who reads this to heed the warning.  Love those who curse you, and  build bridges to reach those that still live in darkness;and most importantly, give them the salvation message of forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ who took their penalty for sin and nailed it to the cross with Him.  Don't deny the true God that bought you with his blood, Jesus Christ.

Lord, continue to watch over all of your children and see us through this spiritual  battle until the end.  In Jesus name I pray.

RICK WARREN Launches Coalition For P.E.A.C.E. Plan

    The following documentary compares Rick Warren's Global P.EA.C.E. Plan to Scriptural Teachings. (See section on New Reformation in this document for description of Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Acronym.) Warren announced his Global P.E.A.C.E Plan on April 17, 2005 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California to an audience of 30,000 people, during a church service marking the 25th Anniversary of Saddleback Church. See P.E.A.C.E. Documentary
Jesus said "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: NOT AS THE WORLD GIVETH, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27.
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I COME NOT TO SEND PEACE, BUT A SWORD." Matthew 10:34; Luke 12:51

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” I Thessalonians 5:3
“They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” 1John 4:5-6
The world hates true Christians because our message is that God's peace plan requires repentance and reconcilation to Christ alone.

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before (it hated) you." John 15:18
“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” 1John 3:13

*****
LAKE FOREST, Calif. - Megachurch pastor Rick Warren recently launched a global coalition of pastors, business leaders and other institutions that aims to tackle what he deems as the most pervasive problems in the world today.

Warren went public with the initiative at the end of the three-day Purpose Driven Network Summit last week hosted by his home church, Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

The P.E.A.C.E.Coalition will be an international alliance of churches, businesses, ministries, universities, and other institutions who will work together to address five "Global Giants" that affect billions of people worldwide: spiritual emptiness, lack of servant leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic diseases, and illiteracy.

The acronym for the plan is based on the five actions Jesus modeled: Promote reconciliation; Equip servant leaders; Assist the poor; Care for the sick; and Educate the next generation. More here

"The first Reformation was about beliefs. This one needs to be about behavior.… We’ve had a Reformation; what we need now is a transformation." [1] Rick Warren
Warren's P.E.A.C.E. PLAN and the Emerging Global Church
*****
Rick Warren's secular social gospel "in the name of Christianity" has destroyed churches all across America and around the world in favor of a seeker friendly, purpose driven agenda, is in full force, and is largly responsible for the "emergent" church movement. While Warren attempts to credit Jesus for his plan, a discerning look at Warren's P.E.A.C.E. plan shows that Jesus of the Holy Bible has nothing to do with Warren's plan.

Rick Warren, unapologically admits that he is a member of the CFR, an organization dedicated to the formation of a One World Government system, and is helping to bring about the One World Religious system spoken of in Revelation Chapter 13.
[quote from WND article]

In fact, Warren added, ''as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Oxford Analytica, I might know as much about the Middle East as you.''

RICK WARREN Goes Global

I found an eye opening article out of Time today concerning the Assembly of God Church leadership, but I am really not that surprised, considering the fact that many in the Assembly of God denomination have bought into the blasphemous WOF, or Word of Faith, name -it-and-claim-it prosperity gospel movement, and are openly involved with Todd Bentley and the counterfeit Lakeland 'Revival' that is taking place. Jon at Living in the Way has sent several emails to Assembly of God leadership concerning their church position concerning Todd Bentley/ Lakeland 'Revival' which basically have been ignored, except one. Needless to say, for a pastor or a leader of any denomination to not take a stand and speak out against such heretic, extrabiblical and unbiblical teachings is equivalent to endorsing them.

The article from Time reveals that influential Assembly of God leadership are among those working closely with Rick Warren in helping to implement Warren's Global world wide church system. This means New Agers and mystics, such as Todd Bentley and his followers, the apostate Church of Rome, hindus and hari krishnas, and muslims and all idol worshippers will all be a part of this system no matter who their "god" is. See Related Story: Rick Warren Launches Coalition For P.E.A.C.E. Plan Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan makes no mention of  the need for repentence of sin and salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ. An excerpt from Time reads:


  • "Warren is particularly excited by the hands-on involvement of some of the larger players in the Evangelical community. "A guy was going, 'I'll take Mozambique,' and another guy was going 'I'll take Nigeria,' " he said happily, adding that he's already secured personal commitments from influential leaders in the Salvation Army and the Assemblies of God (the largest Pentecostal denomination.) "They've said, they're in, and they have to get their boards along," he reported.
******
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying: "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4

The dots are beginning to connect as the apostasy spoken of by the Apostle Paul in II Thess. 2:3 is rapidly coming upon us.

Reporter Jim Hinch Speaks Out On Warren Acknowledging Christians and Muslims Worship Same God Article

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8.

Someone is being dishonest.

And I don't think it is the reporter, Jim Hinch, from the Orange County Register, who recently spoke out on the artlcle he wrote and has said that the article about Rick Warren acknowledging that Christians and muslims worshipping the same God is factual.

A reporter can be sued for printing false information. And if the information is inaccurate, it is common practice for a reporter to retract the statements and or issue a public apology or acknowledgement. In the case with Warren, reporter Jim Hinch insists the information printed by him is factual.

Recently, reporter Jim Hinch from the Orange County Register wrote an article claiming that Rick Warren, in bulding bridges to muslims, acknowledged that Christians and muslims worship the same God.

While many supporters of Warren insist that claims in the article are false, the Register reporter and an editor at the paper told WND that Saddleback Church leadership confirmed that the article was “factually accurate.”

“Folks at Saddleback initially made but then withdrew a request for a clarification to the story’s first paragraph,” reporter Jim Hinch told WND in an email.

Despite his staff’s acknowledgement to the Register that the article is factually accurate, Warren denied claims in the article by pointing the finger at the reporter for “getting it wrong.” More here.

More On Ecumenism-Tony Blair Starts Faith Foundation With Rick Warren As Advisor

What better makings for an anti-christ One World Religious system could we have than Tony Blair from the Roman Catholic Church and his newly formed Inter-Faith Religious Foundation, the Pope/Vatican who believes that aliens are our brothers and human beings evolved from apes, and Rick Warren with his pluralistic, seeker friendly, purpose driven UN agenda to put it all together?

*******
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Friday that leaders in an interdependent world must work to end religious conflict or face "catastrophe" as he introduced a new foundation dedicated to interfaith understanding.

Religion is as important in this century as political ideology was in the last, Blair said. The Tony Blair Faith Foundation will fight extremism, organize faith groups against poverty and illness, and educate people worldwide about religions other than their own, he said.

Blair, who stepped down from office last year, recently converted to Roman Catholicism.

The group's advisory council includes evangelical megapastor Rick Warren, who with his wife, Kay, advocates for HIV/AIDS victims worldwide; Ismail Khudr Al-Shatti, an adviser to the prime minister of Kuwait; and world Baptist and Jewish leaders. Catholic Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor of Westminster, England, has pledged to join the council when the pope allows him to retire.

And what concord hath Christ with Be-li-al? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I willl be their God, and they shall be my people.

Rick Warren To Appear At Islamic Society Convention in July

False teacher and purpose driven CFR member and New World Order pastor Rick Warren plans to appear at the Islamic Society Convention, the largest yearly gathering of muslims on the continent in Washington, D.C. over the Fourth of July weekend. Never mind presenting the Gospel of Christ and that all are sinners in the eyes of God, in need of a Saviour and repentence of sin through the blood of God's Son, Jesus Christ. Warren plans on tickling the ears of his audience by discussing "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" according to this article from the Indy Star. Muslims need to hear the Gospel message of Jesus  I am the way, the truth and the life, No man cometh unto the Father, but by me John 14:6,  and true liberty and the pursuit of happiness is found only in knowing Jesus Christ, without which there can be no eternal life, and not Warren's purpose driven NWO agenda.

The Jewish apostle Peter warned of false prophets and false teachers to be on guard for in II Peter 2:1 and we need to heed the warnings in these dark days that we live in. The Jewish apostle Paul warned that a time would come when men would not endure sound doctrine. II Timothy 4:2-3 reads "preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear." That time is here.

My comments here caught the attemtion of Robert Parham, executive editor of  EthicsDaily.com  who also writes a "faith" column in the  Washington Post  and my response to his attempts to demonize Christian bloggers such as myself and others in his column is written in this post  here.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:16.

Then Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  Acts 2:38

Pope Approves Use of Condoms To Fight AIDS

This is like voting for the lessor of the two evils-- it is still evil and wrong.

Where is the Gospel message, Jesus Christ,  and the repentence of sin in all of this nonsense?  It's simply not there.


It sounds as if the pope has taken a bite from the forbidden fruit, challenging God's Word and  taking  Rick Warren’s advice that Warren presented at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto a few years ago, which calls for the SLOW and STOP method for decreasing the spread of AIDS and involves the passing out of condoms and needles.
Reported from the Christian Post:
Rick Warren, who attended and presented at the AIDS conference, said although he thinks ABC is good, he would like to share two alternative models - "SLOW" and "STOP," that consider a greater number of factors and situations. According to Saddleback Church staff members who went to Toronto with Warren, the two alternative models were presented for the first time at the ecumenical pre-conference held a few days prior to IAC.

"Instead of debating ABC, I think the question to ask is: 'What is the purpose of prevention?' Tell me what the purpose of prevention is and I'll tell you which strategy you should use," Warren told The Christian Post this week during an interview. "Is your purpose to curb or reduce the pandemic? Or is it to cure it, get rid of it?"

Warren said many people are more interested in slowing down the pandemic instead of stopping it because they are not willing to make behavioral changes. Although he disagrees, saying it's a "primarily behavior-based disease," his "SLOW" model offers four steps that will reduce the number of people infected with AIDS.

"SLOW" stands for Supply condoms, Limit the number of partners, Offer needle exchanges to addicts, and Wait for sex as long as possible.
The pope, who is now approving the use of condoms to fight AIDS, is again rewriting what God’s Word instructs and is  misleading millions of catholics and other groups of non-committed “religious people” and leading them down the wide road to destruction.

 Sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman, and homosexual sex is clearly forbidden in the Holy Scriptures, yet the pope, as with Rick Warren,  is now coming forth telling the world using condoms to fight AIDS is justified if it will protect lives.  Read it here.

The Bible clearly tells us you will reap what you sow and the warnings given by God against homosexual sex and sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman were given by God for one’s own protection, and neither the pope nor Warren  has any  business endorsing and promoting in Jesus' name what God has shown to be sin, and rebellion against Him in His written Word.

Today's world cultures  is attempting to convince people that it is ok to be sexually immoral in marriage, or it is ok to be in a homosexual relationship, and that it is merely a cultural thing; this is a lie from satan himself working through his people on earth, because  it is not ok with God.  This is "ear tickling" theology."

 If you are ensnared in a sexually, adulterous or  immoral lifestyle, all you have to do is call upon the merciful saviour the Lord Jesus Christ and ask for deliverance, and he will forgive you and deliver you from sexual sin if you are committed to be set free from sexual sin.  His grace is sufficient for you.  Everyone who comes to Jesus with a sincere heart to be delivered from sin  is delivered, no exceptions.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7

A Washington Post Response to Rick Warren

 No sooner did I post this article about Rick Warren and his false teachings, and his most recent assignment with the islamic community, I received what I consider a public disapproval response from the Washington Post's Robert Parham,executive editor of EthicsDaily.com and executive director of its parent organization, the Baptist Center for Ethics. I must remind and warn my readers at this time that because it says "baptist" on it does not necessarily make it Christian, as the falling away that the Jewish Apostle Paul wrote about in II Thessalonians 2:3 is already here and time is short.

I think it is good to have this public dialogue and perhaps now Mr. Parham himself will read the Holy Bible and discover the truth. Unfortunately, Mr. Parham, took Holy Scripture from my article out of context and circumvented my writing, which is his right, but not the "Christian thing to do."

  • Mr. Parham writes:

    Unfortunately, too many evangelical leaders have forgotten Jesus great commandment. Jesus did not spell out prerequisites for doing right for one's neighbor. Jesus did not tell his followers that they had to agree with their neighbors about and the source of eternal salvation before they coulkd love their neighbor. Love for neighbor wasn't a doctrinal issue, it was a moral imperative..... American evangelicals seek the common good with American Muslims because it is the right thing to do.
Evidently, Mr. Parham has forgotten the dialogue, if he ever knew it to begin with, between Jesus and Peter after the resurrection of Jesus in John's Gospel, Chapter 21 when Jesus asked Peter three times if Peter loved Him and after Peter answered in the affirmative, Jesus immediately commanded  Peter to "feed my sheep.""
  • John 21
    1After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
    2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
    3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
    4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
    5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
    6And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find.  They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
    7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
    8And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
    9As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
    10Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
    11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
    12Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.  And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
    13Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
    14This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
    15So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
    16He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
    17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
    18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkest whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
    19This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
I don't know where Mr. Parham has been,or what bible he reads, or even if he reads the Holy Bible, but if you love God and your neighbor as Jesus taught, you most certainly will share the greatest gift of all with him/her, whether muslim, hindu, catholic, Jewish, baptist, or any other institutional/denominational religion; Loving your neighbor will not save souls, sharing the Gospel of Christ will-- and that is salvation through repentence of sins by the blood of Jesus Christ and following Him only as Jesus commanded Peter and His original Apostles taught upfront, so your neighbor can spend eternity with God and you. All are in need of God's grace through the shed blood of Jesus Christ to cover their sins, without which there can be no eternal life with God. Afterall, Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

When one has Christ, he will love the one true God and his neighbor as Jesus taught.  Jesus said after His Resurrection "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". Matthew 28:19"  That's pretty clear to me, yet Mr. Parham apparently doesn't get it. 

Muslims in the Middle East, especially Iran, are leaving islam and have been receiving Jesus Christ as Lord in unprecendented numbers because some American pastor loved God and his neighbor so much, He gave him the Gospel of Christ, and it is Rick Warren's duty as a pastor to do the same, as it is mine, or any other person who calls himself/herself "Christian." "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Romans 8:12

It's time for Rick Warren to present the true Gospel of Christ to the islamic community July 4th weekend and stop tickling ears. If I were a betting person, I would bet Warren won't.

Rick Warren Introducing Evangelical Christianity to the Social Gospel

Here's another short exposition,which I think is right on the money,written by the President of The Berean Call, Tom McMahon concerning Rick Warren's social gospel, with some good advice from Jude to Rick Warren.

"I believe that Rick has a low view of prophecy," McMahon contends. "Well, I think he needs to heed the words of Jesus [in Luke 18:8]: 'When the Son of Man cometh shall He find faith upon the earth?' Well, 'people of faith' yes, but certainly not the faith that Jude exhorts true believers to contend for." More at link.
*****
I love the writings of Jude.  For a one and three quarters page book in the Holy Scriptures, it is full of wisdom and teachings for the Christian. 

The general epistle of Jude designates its author as "a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James" to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called, and its message was and is for Bible believing Christians wherever unity was threatened by heretical teaching and where Christian doctrinal and moral standards were questioned.

Of the social gospel and those who foster and promote this, I think the words of Jude from vs. 16-18 are very fitting wherein Jude writes, "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual having not the Spirit." 


Certainly the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, all of whom were severely persecuted and, who all except John, died a martyrs death for their preaching of sin and of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ, certainly did not promote this purpose driven, seeker friendly, ungodly social gospel.

RICK WARREN: How The Purpose Driven Life Obscures the Gospel

“For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.” (1Corinthians 1:21)

An excellent commentary by Bob DeWaay.....

Warren is going to reform what the church does. He is well on his way. Warren has turned the Gospel of Jesus Christ into a method. The method is to invite people on a forty day journey to discover the meaning of life.1 Warren’s students are asked to take an oath before a witness (which Jesus forbids) to turn forty days of their life over to Rick Warren and his method. And there is more

RICK WARREN PLURALISTIC RELIGION ON VIDEO



Rick Warren's humanistic and philisophical ramblings, interwoven into his purpose driven church teachings has led the masses around the world right into New Age religious pluralism or all and/or many paths will lead to God, and the Emergent Church that is taking over the planet; and like Oprah, still believe one can be a Christian. Certainly, people who promote this deception cannot believe the Word of God to be the truth.

In fact, in this post modern world that we live in, it is promoted by New Agers such as Oprah, Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, Rob Bell, Doug Pagitt and others who are deceiving an entire generation of young people into following this wide road, that the true Gospel message of Salvation by God's grace through repentence of sin, faith and forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus Christ is not relevant. According to this New Age teaching, there are no absolutes, and God's Holy Word, the Bible, is not the ultimate truth.

According to New Agers, the crucified and risen Saviour, for the sins of the human race, Jesus is just one of many paths to God, which is in direct conflict with the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God:
Jesus said in Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 7
"Enter ye at the straight gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.
Because strait is the gate, and narrow, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."vs. 13,14
"I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." Jesus Christ--John's Gospel 14:6

Jesus gave his followers many signs to watch for in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24 before He returns to earth to set up His Millenneal Kingdom, on David's Throne, out of Jerusalem, Israel. Before the Jewish people returned to their ancient homeland, and the State of Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948, many of these signs that Jesus gave us were waiting to be fulfilled. They are now being fulfilled at an accelerating rate in our generation.

One of the major signs Jesus warned of is deception in the last days, and He said:
"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." vs. 11 And in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 7, Jesus again warns "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep'sclothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." vs. 15,16

The New Age Gospel and religious pluralism is one of the big deceptions in the last days. It is a different gospel, of which Paul warns against in Galatians Chapter 1.

Much of what Jesus spoke about in His Olivet Discourse has been fulfilled, or is all coming together or in the making now in our generation. Jesus warned in verse 34 of Matthew Chapter 24 that the generation that sees all these things taking place would not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Folks, we are living on borrowed time, by the grace of God.

More On The One World Religious System and Tony Blair

A One World Religion in the name of anti- malaria, Carla from More Books And Things, has come up with an interesting short clip and video that compliments my article here about Tony Blair's mission to unite all religions. Good find, Carla! It seems as if God's prophetic clock has accelerated within the last week with the birth of the Mediterranean Union and the formation of a one world religious system progressing. News Alert from UTT:

  • The following video clip of Tony Blair promoting his newly formed Faith Foundation with the purpose of working together with all faiths in order to eradicate malaria is a must view for anyone concerned about the road towards a one world religion.

    Also, while viewing this clip, you will see a startling similarity to Pastor Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan and his objective to work together with all faiths to attack AIDS. As a note of interest, Rick Warren is a member of the Tony Blair's advisory board for the Faith Foundation.

    Greg Laurie Connects Purpose Driven to a Move of God-Gives Financial Support

    Greg Laurie Connects Purpose Driven Rick Warren to a Move of God-Gives Financial Support

    A very well researched account of the details, from Editors at Lighthouse Trails, this is disturbing news concerning Greg Laurie, pastor of mega-church Harvest Christian Fellowship and the Lighthouse is sending out a warning. An excerpt follows:

    "Because Laurie has publicly connected Purpose Driven to a move of God and calls Willow Creek's conferences "significant," Lighthouse Trails has no choice but to issue this warning to the body of Christ. For those who may find this rebuttal too severe, bear in mind that just last month Rick Warren had New Age sympathizer Leonard Sweet speak at his small groups conference. Sweet has stated that small groups are the means in which people can attain to a "christ-consciousness" (a New Age belief). And as for Bill Hybels, this spring Willow Creek featured Brian McLaren at one of their youth conferences. McLaren, who calls the doctrine of hell and the Cross "false advertising for God", is one of the emerging church's most prolific writers and a close associate of Willow Creek. And as Lighthouse Trails has been consistently showing for over five years, both Rick Warren and Bill Hybels are two of the emerging church's most influential proponents, and both heartily promote the mystical contemplative prayer movement (see A Time of Departing, chapter 8). For those who understand the ramifications of the contemplative approach to spirituality this is disconcerting. More from the Lighthouse

    Kay Warren Says Church Is The Hope of the World

    Has Jesus Christ Been Demoted by Kay Warren?

    Speaking at the Ecumenical Alliance Pre-Conference in Mexico City, which is predominantly Roman Catholic, Kay Warren, wife of Rick Warren, has the Christian message distorted. She says here "the church is the hope of the world," whereas my Bible says Jesus Christ is our hope  in 1 Timothy 1 where the Apostle Paul writes: "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by our commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope."  Further, the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ." (AND NOT THE CHURCH)  Is Kay Warren deceived on purpose too? Come on Kay, you need to read the Bible. Kay says:

    "If gender-based violence is everywhere, so is the Church," Warren said. "The Church is the hope of the world, and God's plan for dealing with the problems of the world. Whether dealing with violence, poverty, orphans or AIDS – if we don't start with the church, we are starting at the wrong end of the equation." More here

    I pray Kay Warren will take a look at this very serious error in Christian doctrine and come to terms with salvation and hope for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and not "the church."

    Rick Warren Says Partial Birth Abortion Supporter Obama

    Has what it takes to be President... Here's the transcript from CNN with Blitzer!!


    BLITZER: What did you think of Barack Obama?
    WARREN: He's an amazing man. I think...
    BLITZER: Do you think he's got it? In other words, he's got that potential like so many other presidential prospects, to be the president of the United States?
    WARREN: I think he does.
    BLITZER: Because?
    WARREN: I think he has good character. I think both Sam Brownback and Barack Obama -- the reason I invited them both, first, they'll tell you the truth. They're not just going to beat around the bush. They'll tell you what they believe. And I appreciate that.
    Second, they're men of civility. And I'm so tired of the rudeness we've got in our society where people are just mean to each other. We need to return to civility, which says, I treat you with respect even if I violently disagree with you. That we've lost the "civil" in civilization.
    BLITZER: Are the American people ready for an African-American president?
    WARREN: Oh, I think so.

    Lancaster, Pa. County Bible Church Chain Patterned After Rick Warren's Saddleback and Willow Creek

    A new come as you are rock concert music style, seeker friendly church chain in Lancaster County, Pa. is offering a come as you are style of worship with all the trimmings. But is this really new? This sounds to me that LCBC, or Lancaster County Bible Church is patterned after Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven, Seeker Friendly Saddleback and Willow Creek mega churches, and others. Just because it says “Bible Church” doesn’t make it so. All cults have a thread of truth , and a lot of false doctrine and scamming. Our Lord's Church is Holy Spirit lead, not purpose driven.

    What you won’t see at one of the region’s fastest-growing churches: pastors in robes or suits, crosses or icons, pews, traditional choirs, or stained glass. What you will see: pastors in jeans, dramatic stage lighting, stadium seating in a 2,000-seat auditorium, rock bands and stage smoke, giant multimedia screens and graphics, a coffee bar, a food court and a bookshop, along with animal-themed murals in the kids wing. Complete story at link.

    What one wears, providing it is modest, is not all that important but worship style and the music one listens to and most importantly,the message presented is something to seriously look at. If the church leaders do not conform to the Word of God, it is not from God, but of the world and conforming to the world. When a church conforms to the world and becomes like a senses appealing, entertaining rock concert, and “good works” orientated, where is the focus of salvation by faith through God’s grace by belief in His Son, Jesus Christ, who was crucified for the sins of the human race? Where is the salvation message of repentence of sin?

    The Apostle Paul instructs us in Romans 12:2 to be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    Remember, the first thing Jesus warned his disciples of that would signal His soon return was deception:

    And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Matthew 24:3-4

    If a church's focus is on what it has to offer in the way of food, music and stage accessories, lighting, seating, coffee bar, bookshop, and not the cross of Christ, it’s time to look for another place to fellowship, because this is not about the Gospel Message of Christ and placing people under conviction of sin to repent of sin and follow Christ through His Word and the leading of His Holy Spirit.

    Jesus said And I, if I belifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:32

    Gay Dad's Celebrate Father's Day With Rick Warren

    This Father’s Day, a group of LGBT and straight-ally families will spend their holiday in a way that is both extraordinary and profoundly commonplace: they will attend services at Saddleback Church, the mega-church founded by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life.

    The following day, the families will join leaders from Saddleback Church for a private meal and conversation.

    The visit is the conclusion of a six-week journey, a gay-friendly family road trip, to initiate dialogue with mega-church congregations across the nation. In December 2007, organizers of the project - which is called The American Family Outing - invited the leaders of six major mega-churches to match families from their congregations with LGBT families for a meal and conversation. Then, on Mother’s Day 2008, the outing began with a visit to Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. More here

    Let us take a look to see what the Scriptures have to say about a Christian brother (or sister) who is in open rebellion, sexually or otherwise towards the Word of God and how Christians are suppose to respond to this.

    1 Corinthians 5:11-13 (King James Version)11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

    EMERGENT CHURCH

    While I am on the subject of Rick Warren and his purpose driven pluralistic ramblings in my previous entry, now is a good time to remind all of my readers to take a look at  the Christian Research Net here, who have done a great job in putting together the deceptive teachings as it concerns the emergent church., Rob Bell and Doug Pagitt, with recent updates. 

    The forces of darkness are working overtime to bring this one world spiritual and ecumenical religious system spoken of in Revelation 13:4 and 14:9-11.

    EVANGELICAL LEADERS Promote New Age -Eastern Spiritual Practices

    Did you know that evangelical leaders are promoting New Age Eastern Spiritual Practices that is now spreading like a wild fire among denominational Christian churches including your Baptist denomination?

    Evangelical Leaders Promote New Age and Eastern Spiritual Practices

    In what appears to be a sweeping phenomenon, Christian leaders are embracing practices and a new spirituality that borrows from Eastern mysticism and New Age philosophy. The changes are taking place worldwide and involve many of the most popular evangelical leaders including Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Richard Foster, Tony Campolo, and Eugene Peterson.

    In Rick Warren's Purpose-Driven Life, on Day Eleven, he encourages people to practice "breath prayers" by repeating words and phrases over and over in a mantra-style prayer, a practice used centuries ago by a group of mystical monks known as the Desert Fathers. This so-called "prayer" is identical to that found in Hindu yoga and Zen Buddhism.

    Brian McLaren, leader of the emerging church movement has been caught with his hands in the contemplative cookie jar too by endorsing the back covers of some more-than-questionable books. One in particular, Reimagining Christianity by Alan Jones says that the doctrine of the Cross is a vile doctrine. Alan Jones is an interspiritualist and mystic in every sense of the words.

    Take a look at the Living Spiritual Teachers Project, of which Jones is involved. This group of about twenty includes Zen and Buddhist monks, New Agers and even Marianne Williamson and her Course in Miracles. The goal of this group is to integrate other world religious beliefs into Christianity. McLaren has also endorsed the back covers of Dave Fleming's The Seeker's Way and Tony Campolo's Speaking My Mind, both of which believe that Christianity is too limiting, and a union between other religions is necessary. In Speaking My Mind, Campolo states: "[M]ysticism [contemplative prayer] provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam." (p.149) More here
