"This is a loonie leftist giving an award to another loonie leftist."

Exactly.

By all rights and measures, I am a moderate Protestant and I think this Robert Parham is a fake and a tool.

It's hard to tell sometimes who is a willing participant in all this and who is being held hostage by world players. I'm thinking Gore is having too much fun at this for it to be the later.

“So telling bold face lies and scaring kids to death to promote an anti-American political agenda is both ethical and Christian. If it is, I don’t want any.” ~ Always Right

Me neither.

In reality, he is just another shake-down artist who failed to declare his financial interest before whipping up worldwide alarm with his trademark errors and exaggerations. He’s the director of Lehman Brothers, a global finance house that wants to control the worldwide managed market in carbon-emissions trading. He founded his own “green” corporation, Generation Investment Management, and is a paid member of the Board of a renewable-energy company. In the UK, if anyone made a speech containing so many deliberate and unidirectional errors as he did in Bali, and failed to declare his financial interest, he would be committing a criminal offence. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1942155/posts

Between him and the theologically challenged “Reverend” John (’Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen’ ) Houghton, et.al., it’s hard to say who are the biggest “Liars for Jesus”.

There is such a thing as pathological science. Science becomes unhealthy when its only real question -— “what is true?” -— is sabotaged by vested interests, by ideological Commissars, or even by grant-swinging scientists. Today’s Global Warming campaign is endangering real, honest science. Global Warming superstition has become an international power grab, and good science suffers as a result. ~ James Lewis

I’m Southern Baptist and believe me, I’m as stunned as anyone that this particular group would pick anyone like this man who IMO has absolutely no character and wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face. I think that this is a break-away group of Baptists who consider themselves progressives not members of the “normal” Baptists.

This guy is truly a Baptist Turkey (sorry). But one sentence stood out as memorable, his comment on the Lebanese Baptists:

“They weathered a withering war.”

I can just hear Dorothy saying that as she strides down the Yellow Brick Road.

Follow the link and click around. This ‘ethics daily’ is sponsored by the Baptist Center for Ethics (BCE). This organization intends to develop a new Baptist Conventent. It has a convention planned at the Carter Center and Jimmy started this thing.

From their website:

“What is the New Baptist Covenant?
The New Baptist Covenant is an informal alliance of more than 30 racially, geographically, and theologically diverse Baptist organizations that have come together to form an authentic and genuine prophetic voice for Baptists in North America. The movement was birthed on April 10, 2006, when 18 Baptist leaders gathered at The Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, at the invitation of prominent Baptist and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, to discuss new ways of cooperating. The 18 representatives committed themselves and their organizations to reaffirming traditional Baptist values, including sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and its implications for public and private morality. The group has specifically committed themselves to their obligations as Christians to fulfill the biblical mandate to promote peace with justice, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick and the marginalized, and promote religious liberty and respect for religious diversity.”

Also, from their website:

“Why was the Southern Baptist Convention not invited to participate in the New Baptist Covenant?
While a number of the leaders in the New Baptist Covenant are members of Southern Baptist Churches, and individual Southern Baptists and Southern Baptist congregations are expected to participate in the Celebration, the SBC’s leadership has to date not been involved in this initiative. The organizations represented in the New Baptist Covenant are members of the North American Baptist Fellowship, an affiliate of the Baptist World Alliance. The Southern Baptist Convention withdrew from membership in the North American Baptist Fellowship and the Baptist World Alliance in 2004.”

Quite simply this is a group of ‘progressive’ baptists who want to undermine traditional baptists while promoting policies of the progressive movement, ie, democrats.

They came for the Baptists first and I said nothing.

Next time I run into my Baptist friends at the liquor store, I’ll make sure to ask them what they think of their coreligionist, Albert Arnold Gore. ;-)

Somebody needs to explain to these people what a Baptist truly is. They don’t have a clue.

Were we blessed we were to get GB as president? It wasn’t supposed to have happened. Can you imagine this man as president?

Exactly.

“theologically diverse” = false prophets = subversive pagans

EthicsDaily.com huh? How ethical is the carbon credit thing?

Gore is getting nervous about what he’s done and is trying to position himself as ethical, while completely not.
