Rick Warren is at it again.

This man was involved in the Charismatic movement, but really blew when He came to the belief that eveybody goes to heaven because of God's love. Another big time false teacher.



May God bless, golfjack

Thank D and thanks for the link.

I've been taking a break and though I am still here, I will be cutting down on my posting and reading time. ...and administrative duties. I need to work more on a local level, starting with myself... and family. 8-)

I'm really troubled by what I am seeing all around us. While we may sit behind our keyboards and beat up on the likes of the RCC and other Orthodox faiths, the SDA and other sabbatarians, whether or not there will be some sort of rapture and when it will be, etc. we need to open our eyes to the less obvious things.

Yes, we do need to speak out against totally unneeded abortions, homosexuality and same sex marriages and all the other immoralities that plague society and the church. We need, however, to especially speak out about the dangers of this "seeker friendly" movement.

It is sucking in people from both the ecumenical and evangelical Christian sides like a black hole sucks in light. ...and where there is no light, there's only darkness.

I often refer to Matthew 13:31-33 and how I feel it relates to an unatural growth of the Church. We of the Body don't "lodge" in the branches, we are GRAFTED into the tree!

Further down, in Matthew 13:47-50, we read this:

Matthew 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Think about it...

I very much agree, Vic .... and blinding deception is in subtly. It's in whats being omitted among all pieces and half truths. Thats what seeker friendly is all about or it wouldn't be considered 'friendly'. The 'friendly' gospel; one side of it.
I've noticed that people will usually pick up on outright deception like erroneous doctrines and 'mainstream' cults. The obvious stuff.
But very rarely will anyone pick up on what is being omitted when theres half the truth involved, or 98 percent of the truth involved.
The 2 percent thats being omitted is the difference between life and death.

Do what you feel you have to do as far as cutting back here on the board, I understand where you're coming from.
