Rick Warren: Tweets Trauma as the Root of Dogma

Rick Warren, noted for perverting the Gospel message, is now on Twitter. You can follow his Tweets, many of which defend his position and put-down those who are exposing his false teachings.

In a recent blog post by Watcher's Lamp, he points out how "Rick Warren again casts stones at those who would judge and discern while maintaining the distinctives of faith..."

Watcher's Lamp goes onto say:

 "Psychological needs, not theological creeds, make people strident & judgmental."

"Traumatic hurts create dogmatic hearts."

Really?

Perhaps Rick Warren has it backwards...according to Foxe's Book of Martyrs, people who rightly judged false teachings were traumatized and murdered for being dogmatic about their Biblical faith.

Galatians 1:6-9

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

Matthew 24

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

For all those who once attended Calvary Chapel, in a post from yesterday (2 Jan), Warren's Tweet says that Chuck Smith, Sr. has lung cancer. Please pray that Chuck will repent for the part he has played in his deception.

Rick Warren to Open PEACE Center

(Orange County Register) Pastor Rick Warren on Saturday will reveal what he calls "Saddleback's Christmas gift to Southern California." That gift, according to Warren, is called the PEACE Center, a building at the church's main Lake Forest campus that will be open to anyone in need.

Pastor Rick Warren stands in front of the PEACE Center that will open Saturday. The facility will provide services such as a walk-in food pantry complete with fresh produce grown at Saddleback's Rancho Capistrano campus, legal and financial counseling, HIV/AIDS testing, English-as-a-second-language tutoring and information and assistance with adoption and foster care. 

 The PEACE Center is opening in a retrofitted building on the church campus. A larger, two-story structure is under construction next to the building. That project is in the planning stages but once completed will house a free health clinic and clothing exchange to help young families in addition to the other services that are now in the temporary center. It will also have a warehouse, an automobile repair shop, full-service medical clinic and rooms for counselors.The $2 million project, funded by church donations, raised $600,000 during a Thanksgiving collection. (Continue reading)

 

 The letter "c" in the logo for the peace plan is 

similar to the rising of a new world order on the horizon.

The focus of Rick Warren's ministry has shifted from from faith in God's Word to service to the world, and it is based in Christian Socialism.

In Rick Warren's Ministry ToolBox, he states:

"The first Reformation clarified what we believe. This reformation is all about how we act and operate in the world. It involves the key components of purpose, decentralization, lay mobilization, use of technology, and continuous learning. Churches that change are thriving and growing more effective. Churches that refuse to change will miss the reformation, and are dying." 

This isn't a true statement, since Christ's Church is eternal. The statement he made may give us a peek into the globalist plan for the elimination of smaller churches, or for churches in a community to pull their resources together to duplicate a program as the one at Saddleback. I could be wrong about that, but it would force them to preach a more ecumenically watered-down Christian message - or no gospel message at all. This type of Christianity will lead to few genuine conversions.

The Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples before His crucifixion, "My kingdom is not of this world." Nor are His followers "of the world!" Yet, He sends us "into the world" so that we, "speaking the truth in love," so that it may demonstrate His truth and love to all who will hear. The purpose and mission, which was stated in the Great Commission, is for Christians is to further the Gospel message, so that it heals a life of sin and extends salvation to the lost. The big lie of Christian Socialism diverts the emphasis from the spiritual to the material.

The Oak Summit: The Dark Side of the Oak Tree

You wouldn't think that something as innocent as an oak tree would receive so much attention. The image of the oak symbolizes the virtues of strength and stability. The ancient Romans thought oak trees attracted lightening and thereby connected the oak tree to Jupiter, the god of sky and thunder. His wife, Juno, was the goddess of marriage, thus the oak is a symbol of conjugal fidelity and fulfillment.

The oak tree was regarded by Socrates as an oracle tree. An oracle is one involved in divination, or someone that uses witchcraft to predict the future. The Druids, likewise, ate acorns in preparation for prophesying. In addition, the Druids believed the leaves of the oak tree had the power to heal and renew strength.[1] Through the symbol of the oak, the Druids worshiped the Supreme Deity. According to The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly Hall, the secret teachings of the Druids are practically the same mysteries concealed under the allegories of Blue Lodge Masonry. [pg. 39]

It should not surprise us that Ret. Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, who is part of a Church that is involved in the prophetic, would select this symbol to place on his ministry logo.

The Oak tree from the Oak Initiative logo is adapted to follow 

"As above, so below." These are words that circulate throughout occult circles.

Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin holds the title of Grand Chancellor with the Vatican’s Jesuitical, “Knights of Malta.” This secret society openly displays the Vatican’s ecumenical intentions as part of the Jesuit's Counter Reformation. [2]

Boykin's website admits to being part of Billy Graham's Lausanne Movement.[3] This movement, whose goals are similar to that of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals [4], has expanded worldwide. Lausanne also has its hands on the National Day of Prayer. Its goals and language are New Age, and they will likely assist in usher-in the coming New Age [Masonic] universal christ.[4]

Lt. Gen. Boykin shares the oak tree symbol with another big name in Christian ministry - Rick Warren. On the cover of his Purpose Driven Life, which has sold over 30 million copies, there sits an oak tree.

Ironically, Rick Warren also has connections to the Lausanne Movement and the United Nations Council on Foreign Relations. In June 2010, Saddleback Church hosted the Lausanne Global Conversation panel at their church [5]. Additionally, Warren was on the advisory board for the 2010 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization to be held in October in South Africa.[6]

What Boykin and Warren have in common is that they signed the Lausanne Covenant. It is an ecumenical statement crafted to unify Ecumenical Jews, Evangelicals, Charismatics and Catholics worldwide. Although it is not apparent, it embraces the Emergent Church movement.

In An Emergent Manifesto, it states:

"The Kingdom of God is already here on earth, includes all people, all faiths, and in fact is in all people and all of creation and can be felt or realized through mysticism which connects everything together as ONE."

The Lighthouse Trails editor writes...

"This new collective spirituality leads people into a socialistic community where rituals, practices, and social justice become a means of salvation, but not the salvation you think of in a personal sense of being born-again through Jesus Christ. This is a collective salvation that includes whole cultures and communities who follow the way of someone referred to as Jesus."

Ecumenism is a Roman Catholic strategy to achieve dominion over all religions. Very few Christians realize that this religious component is part of the New World Order, and is being moved into place under the veil of the Church's Ecumenical Movement. Lt. Gen. Boykin and Rick Warren are only two players in a bigger game being played out.

There is another facet of the oak tree that I overlooked at the time I documented the research above. As you will see in the following quotes, Fascism and environmentalism are rooted in the oak tree.

"The oak tree was considered the sacred tree of Germany. Hitler loved oak trees and had them planted all over the Reich as "concordant with the spirit of the Führer." Oak leaves and acorns were even the symbols of the SS, Hitler's green Praetorian Guard."[7]

 

  Hitler watering the roots of an oak tree which bears a fruit of 

shells and iron helmets marked with the swastika.

Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. This award was given to recognize battlefield bravery or military leadership.

Hitler's oak tree was also tied to environmentalism, and political totalitarian environmentalism was born in the Third Reich. There was a definite ideological overlap between Nazi concepts and conservationist agendas. [8]

"Green historians may debate on how effective this totalitarian conservation law was, but nonetheless, here is seen the birth of environmental impact statements and the like. In Nazi Germany, private property could even be seized without compensation for the sake of environmental concerns."[9]

There has long been documented evidence that the Church has been infiltrated by those who have Fascist and Communist ambitions. Just as Hitler had done in the past with Nazism, by transforming the subjective consciousness of the German people (their attitudes, values and mentalities) into a single-minded, obedient "national community"[10], we have seen history repeat itself. This single-mindedness is evident in the recent inclusiveness corporate policies and laws, and within the ecumenical "one church" movement. Hitler attempted to create a unified Protestant Reich Church from Germany's 28 existing Protestant churches. That can be considered small scale compared to the global plan being cooked up by today's world leaders, since they worship a universal christ, not Jesus Christ. The universal christ carries a feel-good message of unity and brotherhood, no matter what you believe.

Put simply - today's Christian is very naive concerning the political goals and involvement of the corporate Church. The Bible says that the simple believe everything (Prov. 14:15). But:

 "A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished." Prov. 27:12

Unfortunately, the majority of the Church are being subverted by the deceitfulness of this world (Col. 2:8).

"Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding." Prov. 9:6

How the Change Agents are Changing the Church

The use of Hegelian Dialectic is a tool that has been used in the Church for years. This same dialectic is what we are seeing all around us as used in government, military, and used to dismantle social and political structure. In an earlier post, I explain how this is done.

The video that follows is a presentation on how the Purpose Driven Church is doing this today through marketing seeker sensitivity, cell churches, misaligned direction of a church, and other examples.

Rick Warren's PEACE Plan Toolbox: "Isa" the Muslim Jesus

Council on Foreign Relations member and mega-church pastor Rick Warren has a habit of compromising biblical truth to forge unholy alliances with sworn enemies of the Gospel. Warren has stepped onto the slippery slope and landed exactly in the "interfaith" camp, rather than being faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ and His inerrant Word. His endorsement of the former British Prime Minister's "Tony Blair Faith Foundation" is only part of his "interfaith" sell-out.

For example, when Rick Warren gave President Barack Obama's inaugural invocation in January 2009, his inclusive ecumenical idolatry was loud and clear. Using the modern evangelism tool of "bridge building" in order to reach the lost is one thing, but there is nothing more damaging to the Gospel than inter-faith dialogue - especially on the scale of Warren's ministry.

Let's Backtrack 

Were you overwhelmed with the fact that Obama was elected, inaugurated, and you couldn't bear listening to Rick Warren's inaugural prayer? If you missed it, as I did, you would have missed the piece of the puzzle that will bring about the religion of the Antichrist. Listen to this excerpt.

(YouTube link) (start at 0:53 on the counter)

Warren said, 

“I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus….”

Of course, Isa would have been understood by Muslims, to be the Islamic prophet mentioned throughout the Koran. Warren’s prayer to Allah, in the name of Isa, should have shocked every Christian who heard that prayer, but the media covered it up. The Bible says,

“The priests said not, Where [is] the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit." – Jeremiah 2:8

Well, let's try to give Warren the benefit of the doubt and listen to his explanation of who Isa is.

(YouTube link)

As you heard Warren say, he believes that Isa and the Lord Jesus Christ are one in the same. Why would he do this? According to researcher and Pastor Joe Schimmel, "World peace is dependent on Muslims and Christians recognizing "Allah" and "Yahweh" as the same God."

Schimmel explains that over 300 prominent Christian leaders signed a letter issued by the Yale Center for Faith and Culture claiming the importance of this unity. The letter titled "Loving God and Neighbor Together," was written in response to a signed document by 138 Muslim leaders titled "A Common Word Between Us and You."  Brian McLaren, Rick Warren, Robert Schuller and Bill Hybels were just several of the signatories, [1] as well as Tony Blair and Pope Benedict.

Warren wearing a traditional kufi, typically worn by Muslim men.

Schimmel goes onto say, "Both of these documents affirmed Muhammad as a "Prophet" of God and declared that world peace was dependent on mutual affirmation of the "unity" of God.

Dr. William Lane Craig, a leading Christian apologist and philosopher, correctly stated that by signing this document, Rick Warren and others were, in effect, signing up to become Muslims! This is because an affirmation of Allah as God is a denial of the Triune God revealed in Holy Scripture. Moreover, the Quran denies that Jesus is the Son of God, no less than nine times."

The Islamic "Common Word" document, in effect, calls on Christians to affirm the Islamic understanding of the unity of God as a precondition to achieving world peace. Part and parcel of implementing Shariah law around the world is the imposition of the worship of Allah worldwide:

Believe in Allah and say not "Trinity." Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. (Quran, Sura 4:171) [2]

This Explains A Lot!

This is why there has been a shift away from "sin issues" — like abortion and gay marriage — in Warren's approach - which has been a dumbing down of Christianity. He says he is more interested in issues that he feels are "uniting," such as "poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and human rights." These are all U.N. goals, by the way.

Eight years ago, he concocted what he calls the PEACE plan, a bid to turn every single Christian church on earth into a provider of local health care, literacy and economic development, leadership training and spiritual growth. The enterprise has collected testimonials from Bono, the First Couple, Hillary Clinton, Obama, McCain and Billy Graham, who called it "the greatest, most comprehensive and most biblical vision for world missions I've ever heard or read about." [3] Since when is Socialism biblical? 

When public and Church leadership promote Warren's plan, it gives credibility to his lies, and presents Christ as one of many ways to heaven. Influential pastor's, such as John Piper, have given credibility to Warren's work, which only builds trust and helps build more bridges to hell.

Islam End Time Prophecy
This CBN broadcast gives you a feel for how close we are to having them hatch their plan.


(YouTube link)

In some YouTube videos, Armedinejad states that the Zionists have changed Muslim end time prophecy into one of violence, and that the Imam Mahdi will bring peace. But Muslims are told in the Koran that it is alright to lie to the infidel, so this statement may be completely false. Regardless, as we wait for the Imam Mahdi and the false Jesus of Islam to claw their way out of that silly well, we will then learn how many Christian leaders will lead their congregations down the wide path. The Bible emphatically warned about those who would come presenting a counterfeit Jesus'.

 ^"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Matthew 24:23-28

Peace in a Globalized Society

The full conversation between Pastor Rick Warren and Faith Foundation's Tony Blair at Saddleback Church earlier this month.

(Saddleback link)

"...Tony Blair and Rick Warren are both important participants in a type of New Age "rebirthing."  They are attempting to rebirth multitudes of Christians in beliefs that they must participate in both prophetically warned of redistribution and initiation systems.  We know, at least from media accounts, that Tony Blair underwent New Age rebirthing. I submit that the New Age process is one of termites from within, wrecking balls from without.  Looks to me as though Rick Warren and Tony Blair, wittingly or unwittingly, may be accomplices in both processes."

Religious Trojan Horse: Fabian Socialism, Tony Blair, and Rick Warren

(WorldviewWeekend link) (Sorry about the auto-start)

This is the stained-glass window from the Beatrice Webb House in Surrey, England, former headquarters of the Fabian Society. It was designed by George Bernard Shaw and depicts Sidney Webb and Shaw striking the Earth with hammers to "REMOULD IT NEARER TO THE HEART'S DESIRE," a line from Omar Khayyam. Note the wolf in sheep's clothing in the Fabian crest above the globe. The window is now on display at the London School of Economics (LSE), which was founded by Sydney and Beatrice Webb.

    

The window was officially unveiled by a ceremony attended by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is a member of the Fabian Society. [1]

Rick Warren sits on the International Religious Advisory Council, made up of members of the major religions. Its role is to advise Tony Blair on the work of the Faith Foundation. [2] This would explain why Blair decided to speak at the special forum at Saddleback.

The above video is an excerpt from a 4 1/2 hour series, which can be found here.

2011 SBC Pastors’ Conference Features Rick Warren

The June 12-13 conference in Phoenix, Ariz., will be held under the theme, "Aspire: Yearning to join God's Kingdom Activity," taken from Romans 15:20. The 2011 SBC Pastors' Conference is held prior to the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, and features renowned speakers including John Piper, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

Those who are less known, but many have problems with are Darrin Patrick. He is Vice President for Acts 29 Church Planting Network, and he is scheduled to speak.  Acts 29 is the network run by Mark Driscoll, the controversial pastor in Seattle, WA, who is associated with the Emerging Church movement. He is no longer associated with the liberal branch of the Emerging Church, which is the branch of the movement that Brian McLaren is involved with, but Driscoll still believes the gifts are for today.

Second, is Jamar Jones, who serves as the Executive Director of Music and Fine Arts at the Potter’s House Church, Dallas Texas. Those familiar with T.D. Jakes and his non-trinitarian understanding of Holy Deity should immediately understand the problem.  Theological modalism is hardly a belief which may be called orthodox, much less within the sphere of Southern Baptists' confession of faith. [1]

I know that many of you have been holding on by your fingernails and continuing to attend the Southern Baptist Churches. I believe there will come a day that you will no longer put up with the compromise of the SBC.

Rick Warren, Tony Blair Talk about Faith, Mideast, 9/11

(ChristianPost) Pastor Rick Warren and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair shared an evening conversation Sunday in front of more than 2,600 people about faith, the Middle East, globalization, and 9/11.

Speaking at the seventh Saddleback Civil Forum, Blair told Warren that he believes the most important issue in the long term is centered on faith. As diverse people are forced to live together, he said at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., the key question is, “How do we find common understanding?”

“Faith teaches you to understand there is something more important than yourself, which is an important principle in working toward a better world. If individuals can see people of faith in action, helping in support of others, it makes this process of globalization easier,” Blair said.

The former prime minister also said, “If faith doesn’t have a major role, then the risk is a process of globalization without values, without beliefs, without conviction.” (Read more)

Dumb quote of the night

“Interfaith dialogue doesn’t mean compromising your faith or finding the lowest common denominator, but explaining each other’s faith for better understanding.” Rick Warren

Rick Warren to Interview Tony Blair at Saddleback Church

Megachurch Pastor Rick Warren will speak to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Egypt and peace in a globalized economy next month at Saddleback Church.

Blair is "very excited" about being a guest lecturer at the seventh Saddleback Civil Forum to be held March 6, said the California megachurch pastor on Sunday.

"We're going to take five letters of the Global PEACE Plan and the five global giants and talk about spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic diseases, and illiteracy and education. These are the five problems the PEACE Plan is designed to [address]," Warren told his congregation. (Read more)

Tony Blair has been instrumental in bridging religious divide and bring about unity, in the light of globalization. So essentially, the man who wants to bring about the one world religion, has been invited to speak at Warren's church.

Rick Warren Hosts 'Cult' Celebrity Doctors

(Worldnetdaily) When megachurch pastor Rick Warren decided he needed to take his health seriously, he responded in typically ambitious fashion, launching a year-long health program for his church, "The Daniel Plan," written with the help of three celebrity doctors who will appear at a kickoff seminar today.

But critics point out the physicians who crafted the program apparently don't share the church's professed evangelical beliefs, espousing instead various forms of Eastern mysticism and the tenets of a Christian cult, Swedenborgism.

Vowing to lose 90 pounds, Warren said he placed himself under the care of Drs. Mehmet Oz, Daniel Amen and Mark Hyman last fall and worked with each to develop "The Daniel Plan."

Oz, host of the Emmy-winning "Dr. Oz Show" and professor of surgery at Columbia University, says he is inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th century cult founder who taught that all religions lead to God and denied orthodox Christian beliefs such at the atonement of Christ for sin, the trinity and the deity of the Holy Spirit.

Texe Marrs: Sarah Palin was Chosen by Zionist Billionaires in Israel

(YouTube link)

Texe Marrs, a professing Christian fundamentalist, has a discussion with Alex Jones concerning some of the moves being made in the name of religion. This is an old 2008 broadcast, but some good information is provided - especially about Sarah Palin.

The interview was supposed to be about Jesuits, but this discussion was a diversion. The points made were:

• The Council on Foreign Relations is an aristocracy of the elite from all sectors of the country. The CFR has established a religious roundtable. Henry Kissinger was the Chairman at the taping of this interview.
• The Pope has appointed Henry Kissinger as his political advisor.
• Tony Blair has become Catholic so he can become the future political head of Europe. This is because the EU is a political Vatican body.
• Rick Warren and Richard Land are part of Henry Kissinger's roundtable.
• The Council for National Policy is heavily weighted to the Catholic side.
• The 700 Club was originally Catholic.
• Pro-illegal immigration groups belong to the CFR.
• One of the objectives of CFR is to bankrupt the morality of all Christians.
• Sarah Palin was chosen by Zionist billionaires in Israel before McCain even knew her name. Israel radio had a 2-hour special on Sarah Palin right after she was elected Governor of Alaska. They said that we have a pro-Zionist as Governor, and forecasted a great future for her. Sarah claims that she has a flag of Israel in her office. She was quoted as saying that she would never second guess the intentions of Israel. If Israel wants to go to war with Iran, then she would support the effort. (This is part of the Illuminati playbook. I am a supporter of the nation of Israel, but there are Freemasons in charge of their government.)

There are other parts to this video. Texe also discusses his Mysterious Monuments book, and some of the Illuminati symbolism in them.

Warning! The Purpose Driven Heresy

(Google video link)

This video describes the techniques used to bring in heresy within the church. The purpose driven model has been read and accepted by many church leaders of our day, and his techniques only weaken the Church with unrepentant converts.

The following are some examples used by Warren to create change in his church, and change the practices of the Church as a whole for the purposes of church growth.

1. The model of church growth used by Warren requires the new members to sign a covenant, which requires them not to gossip (compare deception noticed by other members), commit to the leadership, required to participate in small groups, and pledge to tithe. Church covenants are used for manipulation of the membership.
2. Warren also encourages the pastor to be the CEO of his church, as his form of proper management style. He has a website where pastors can download sermons, so they can spend more time on managing the church and its programs, instead of studying the Word. To counter this, 1 Tim 5:17 says that the elders of the church should be laboring in the doctrinal study of the Word. The Word should be his first priority; managing should take second priority.
3. Warren gives justification to bringing unbelievers into the Church, and says that the tares and the wheat should grow together - and they can be sorted out later. But Jesus was interested in purity within the Church, because He instructed they should be excommunicated if they one cannot be restored (Matt. 18); we are not to eat with sinning Christians (1 Cor. 5:11); Christ wants to present a Church without spot or blemish (Eph. 5:27); and there is an example of church purity in 1 Tim. 1:19-20. 
4. We are to be judging those within the Church to see that they are faithful to the Word of God, and remove those who continue to sin (1 Cor. 5:12,13).

 The video is lengthy, but those attached to a church may want to see if any of Warren's strategies are being used by your pastor. The speaker will explain how it will damage the body of Christ.

Blair courts controversial US pastor Rick Warren in bid to unite faiths

Former prime minister builds network of Christian allies as he prepares to launch a religious 'offensive' in North America

"According to the annual accounts of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a UK-based charity that promotes cohesion between the major faiths, the foundation is to develop a US arm that will pursue a host of faith-based projects. The accounts show that his foundation has an impressive – and, in at least one case, controversial – set of faith contacts. Sitting on some £4.5m in funds as of April last year, mostly gathered through donations, it is now well placed to make its voice heard.

"The foundation's advisory council of religious leaders includes Rick Warren, powerful founder of the California-based Saddleback church. It attracts congregations of nearly 20,000 and is reportedly one of the largest in the US. Warren, who has addressed the UN and the World Economic Forum in Davos, has been named one of the "15 world leaders who matter most" and one of the "100 most influential people in the world." (Excerpt from The Observer)

Religious Pluralism and the Interfaith Gospel

The Davos World Economic Forum not only discusses economics, but many topics related to the globalization of the world, or phrased differently, the new re-ordered world system.

The Open Forum (2008) panel on “Faith and Modernization,” hosted by Tony Blair, consisted of Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and (Protestant) Christianity. Christianity was being represented by Rick Warren.

When Rick Warren spoke, he stated that the future of the world is religious pluralism, and that the world is becoming more religious, not less. He said “we” cannot solve the ‘Five Giants’ (from the P.E.A.C.E. plan) without involving ‘people of faith’ and their religious institutions. In saying this, he implied people of all faiths, and all religious institutions.

He boasted of his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations and promoted the philosophy of the three-legged stool of government, business and the ‘faith’ sector working together. He explained that this last leg consists of churches, mosques, synagogues and (Buddhist) temples. He talked about how every village in the world has a church, and by church, he meant any house of worship, of any religion. He said the ‘church’ is the only truly global organization, with the largest pool of committed manpower (volunteer laborers).

FYI - The word  religious pluralism is another word for ecumenism, i.e., the promotion of some level of unity, co-operation, and improved understanding between different religions or different denominations within a single religion. It is also the objective of Freemasonry.

Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life - Point-by-Point

Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life is a No. 1 bestseller in both Christian and secular markets. It and The Purpose Driven Church have sold millions of copies and at least two million people have participated in “40 Days of Purpose” campaigns. Warren is the senior pastor of Saddleback Community Church, a contemporary Southern Baptist mega-church in southern California. I attended a service in August 2003, and the “praise time” reminded me of a night club, with a long-haired “worship” leader, sensually attired women singers, pounding rock & roll, and swirling lights in the background.

Excerpts from The Purpose Driven Life
Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life contains extensive documentation of his dangerous and unscriptural “judge not” ecumenical philosophy. On page 164, Warren says, “God warns us over and over not to criticize, compare, or judge each other…. Whenever I judge another believer, four things instantly happen: I lose fellowship with God, I expose my own pride, I set myself to be judged by God, and I harm the fellowship of the church.” (Read more)

Rick Warren and His Connection to Globalism

As I stated yesterday, Rick Warren is involved heavily with the Council on Foreign Relations. These are my references:

1. His name is listed on the members of the CFR. here
2. In the CFR website, he is listed as a speaker. here
3. Warren considers himself as a global strategist in his own webpage. here
4. In a WND interview, he willingly reveals that he is a member of the CFR, then goes back to change his story. You'll have to decide where the truth lies. here

As it is mentioned in the WND interview, the CFR is an organization specifically founded to attack national sovereignty, to promote world government and to enlist U.S. church leaders in those goals. It was a private organization, but was brought under the government umbrella under President Jimmy Carter.

Want to know a little about Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan? Compare the goals of his plan with the goals of the U.N.'s Millennium Goals. Like most other UN documents, its Millennium Goals sounds kind and compassionate. They are designed to appeal to noble instincts and caring hearts, and they do! That's why nations, corporations, organizations and churches have joined the global campaign. Who would disagree with these eight lofty goals?

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.

2. Achieve universal primary education.

3. Promote gender equality and empower women.
4. Reduce child mortality.
5. Improve maternal health.
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability. (He believes in global warming.)

8. Develop a global partnership for development.

Warren believes this is a second reformation - but this one is a reformation of deeds. As he goes out with this vision of a worldwide welfare system, he is actually promoting the Socialist/Marxist agenda - and he's using Christians to do it. Being inline with the U.N. agenda is the same as selling your soul to the devil. This is because the U.N. declared war on Biblical truth a long time ago. They are the driving force of globalism, and will soon begin enforcing global laws in every country of the world.

Calling Rick Warren a wolf in sheep's clothing are harsh, since he claims to be a man of God. But if you look at his goals, they reek of globalism! He is assisting the Marxist agenda for world domination, and taking advantage of unknowing/blind or willfully ignorant Christians to carry out the plan.

Warren is pretty good at leading Christians astray. In an article by Ingrid Schlueter, she explains in detail how Warren has softened the Gospel for the seeker. Kind of makes you wander if there is any true repentance if you're coming to Christ with this Gospel.
