JIM WALLIS: Faith Succeeding Where Politics Has Failed

The so called "christian" Post promoting more false teachers and heretics.

He concluded: “We’ve seen a lot of bad religion. Bad religion pulls up the worst stuff. But good religion brings out our best stuff – the compassion of Christ, a hunger for justice …. Good religion is the answer to bad religion. That time is coming again.”

Does that include the “man-centered” heresies you preach Jim?

[padre35]

Wallis sounds great in that speech, but once one brushes away the detrious, and looks at the roots of his views, the rot is apparent.

[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

The apostle John warns “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

[Gamecock]

More Purposr Driven©®™ nonsense.

[Kimmers]

“Wallis pointed to his new book, which calls Christians to make seven commitments that he believes will dramatically change the world. “

So if we read his book we will change the world. The man is a little to full of himself.

[Russ]

Christians need to invest their time, money, talents and faith into making change happen

That doesn't sound like Christ's Great Commission to me. "make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."

[DarthVader]

Those things Wallis says are only a “part of” the things to do to follow doing the things you rightly said. They are avenues through which you can share the Gospel too, not an end all as Wally Boy is saying.

Jim Wallis works for Howeard Dean.

[Marysecretary]

Wallis is the Peace Studies Pastor. Those kinds of programs and liberal causes just love him. He sounds good but...look beneath the covers.

[Marysecretary]

Bad religion points you to the sin in your life. Good religion points you to Marxism and liberation theology.

[Marysecretary]

He was around a lot longer than the Purpose Driven stuff, but I guess it’s all from the same pot.

[Terriergal]

yup. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing definitely.

[Terriergal]

Howeird Dean? Not surprising. Dean appears to be UCC which I think Wallis must be (how far from Christianity can you get?) and his wife is Jewish and their kids are being raised Jewish.

[Terriergal]

So if we read his book we will change the world. The man is a little to full of himself.

HMM!! That reminds me of another liberalizing Christian Evangelical:

When one looks at the book, The Purpose Driven Life, one has to be concerned when any book makes a claim, which it does, "This book will change your life!"--there is only one book that will change your life and that's the Bible.

[Terriergal]

yup. Jim Wallis and Rick Warren are theological brethren even though Warren verbally denounces Christian Marxism, he puts forth his own alternative version of the social(ist) gospel.

[Political Junkie Too]

Everyone must always remember that Jim Wallis was the person hired by the Democrats to teach them how to speak "religion" after the 2004 election uncovered the "values voter." Since 2004, Democrats have been inserting religious language into all their speeches.

I agree... at least with the last part. I've never heard Wallis sound good. He always sounds like a wolf.

[Terriergal]

Our best stuff is as filthy rags I thought! Guess when he focuses on all those verses on the ‘poor’ he forgets about the verses on SIN!

[vimto]

I heard this guy on the BBC (Simon Mayo’s afternoon show 5 Live) - he was flagged up as an evangelical. Given the lack of evangelicals on the BBC I decided to listen.

Just a lot of liberal social gospel as far as I could tell.

Ho Hum.
