Follow-up ping.

Anyone up for sponsoring a Rick Warren ping list?

Then Warren moves into this Muslim-Christian brotherhood sophistry.

Purpose-Driven Dhimmi ping.

"Purpose Driven Jihad"

Hopefully RW will fade away as yesterday's fool and yesterday's fad...

If we see him gaining in influence, he'll be worth having his own ping list.

While I thought PDL was ~mostly harmless~ fluff, it does appear that Warren has jumped the shark.

I am concerned that Warren was quoted as saying that he did not tape/record a certain statement about Syria, and that such a tape/record was later found. Perhaps he was unaware of the taping, but the truth is that the statement preserved is damning. It appeared that he truly did side with the Syrians.

In Warren's defense, I think he was naive and saw only what he wanted to see. A new market for his books.

"In other words, Rick Warren seems to want to be everything to everyone.?

This is nothing new. When Warren is with Baptists, he says he is a Baptist. When he is before a different denomination he denies he is a Baptist. Go figure.

I think post #9 hits the nail on the head: Warren saw only what he wanted to see -- a new market for his books and teaching materials.

I'd think Paul would have been Turkish, not Syrian.

YA THINK? Like so many others, fame and FORTUNE have changed the man and moved him to compromise in many, many areas of his "ministry".

If Paul was from Turkey, then he was a dispersed Jew. The Jews in the N.T. were racially Jewish not merely proselytes.

Thanks for the information. Is Warren in over his head or is he "simple", stupid, devious or greedy?

No.

But bad teaching should be important to all of us.

Are you a Warren apologist?


Why don't you find yourself a nice cup of decaf coffee somewhere and relax.

Joseph Farrah is a hypocrite. Here is a man who went on a one year rant about Y2K. When Y2K turned out to be hype sold by snake oil salesmen, Farrah's defense was that he consulted well known theologian Tim LaHaye. However, I did not see refunds offered for all the Y2K profits on World Net Daily.
On the other hand, Warren has set up three foundations through which to distribute 90 percent of the proceeds from the book back into global ministry. Warren paid back salary to his home church before the book was published and refuses a salary.
I am not a Warren apologist, I think if he made these comments they were wrong. Additionally, in some places in his book he "stretched" theology to fit a thesis. However, I would put his theology and sanity up against Farrah's any day of the week.
