"Robert Schuller to 'rethink' Christianity into New Age?"

Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif., Jan. 17-19. A New World Order; George H.W. Bush, Chuck Colson, Larry King, Rupert Murdoch, Ben Stein, Kay Warren, wife of Saddleback Church mega-pastor Rick Warren, will join Robert Schuller, the white-haired, bespectacled purveyor of "possibility thinking." What could such a diverse group have in common?

Lo and behold who is leading the pack of heretics??!!!

Rick Warren's wife!

Robert Schuller and his Tower of Babel "Crystal Cathedral" hasn't fooled Biblical-based-and-teaching Christians for all these years, so that's no surprise.

However, I am extremely disappointed and sorrowful that certain people listed in this story are heading towards heresy and apostasy!

1. Lee Strobel?
2. Jay Sekulow?
3. Gary Smalley?
...well, actually that's not really very surprising.

I usually like to quote the KJV or the NKJV of the book of Jude, but just for today let's share what the NLT says:




Jud 1:1 This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James. I am writing to all who are called to live in the love of God the Father and the care of Jesus Christ.

Jud 1:2 May you receive more and more of God's mercy, peace, and love.

Jud 1:3 Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the truth of the Good News.[fn1] God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to his holy people.

Jud 1:4 I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God's forgiveness allows us to live immoral lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago, for they have turned against our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jud 1:5 I must remind you-and you know it well-that even though the Lord[fn2] rescued the whole nation of Israel from Egypt, he later destroyed every one of those who did not remain faithful.

Jud 1:6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the day of judgment.

Jud 1:7 And don't forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.

Jud 1:8 Yet these false teachers, who claim authority from their dreams, live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at the power of the glorious ones.[fn3]

Jud 1:9 But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse Satan of blasphemy, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you." (This took place when Michael was arguing with Satan about Moses' body.)

Jud 1:10 But these people mock and curse the things they do not understand. Like animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and they bring about their own destruction.

Jud 1:11 How terrible it will be for them! For they follow the evil example of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they will do anything for money. And like Korah, they will perish because of their rebellion.

Jud 1:12 When these people join you in fellowship meals celebrating the love of the Lord, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you.[fn4] They are shameless in the way they care only about themselves. They are like clouds blowing over dry land without giving rain, promising much but producing nothing. They are like trees without fruit at harvesttime. They are not only dead but doubly dead, for they have been pulled out by the roots.

Jud 1:13 They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the dirty foam of their shameful deeds. They are wandering stars, heading for everlasting gloom and darkness.

Jud 1:14 Now Enoch, who lived seven generations after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, "Look, the Lord is coming with thousands of his holy ones.

Jud 1:15 He will bring the people of the world to judgment. He will convict the ungodly of all the evil things they have done in rebellion and of all the insults that godless sinners have spoken against him."[fn5]

Jud 1:16 These people are grumblers and complainers, doing whatever evil they feel like. They are loudmouthed braggarts, and they flatter others to get favors in return.

Jud 1:17 But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you,

Jud 1:18 that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable.

Jud 1:19 Now they are here, and they are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They live by natural instinct because they do not have God's Spirit living in them.

Jud 1:20 But you, dear friends, must continue to build your lives on the foundation of your holy faith. And continue to pray as you are directed by the Holy Spirit.[fn6]

Jud 1:21 Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.

Jud 1:22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.

Jud 1:23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show mercy, but be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins.[fn7]

Jud 1:24 And now, all glory to God, who is able to keep you from stumbling, and who will bring you into his glorious presence innocent of sin and with great joy.

Jud 1:25 All glory to him, who alone is God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Yes, glory, majesty, power, and authority belong to him, in the beginning, now, and forevermore. Amen.

1:3 Greek to contend for the faith.

1:12 Or they are contaminants among you, or they are stains.

1:23 Greek mercy, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

  1. Here's a link to a great post describing the heresy and falling away of Rick Warren from true biblical Christian faith.

    It also illustrates how the "judge not" liberal Christian crowd has it wrong.

  2. Of course, Greg Koukl sets us straight regarding why Warren's book was so popular.

    Excerpt:


    "When anybody writes the real truth about God, it's not a bestseller in the secular press because it's not the kind of thing the non-believer wants to hear. Sinners do not want to hear they are moral rebels in God's universe, that the judgment of God hangs heavy our heads and we are in desperate peril for our eternal souls."
