It all makes sense now: President-elect Barack Obama asked the Rev. Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration because Warren, one of the world’s widest-read Christians, is, in fact, a Muslim.
Yep. The proof is below: Warren delivering the keynote address over the weekend at the annual conference organized by the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
“I love Muslims. I also happen to love Hindus and Jews and Buddhists. Now this one will shock, I happen to love Democrats and Republicans. And for the media’s purpose, I happen to love gays and straights. ... We don’t have to see eye to eye to walk hand in hand.
“I always thought Christians were misunderstood until I started hearing about Muslims. I’ve noticed two things: the media almost never gets it right, and the media love conflict. ... Al-Qaeda no more represents Islam than the Klu Klux Klan represents Christianity.
“Religious congregations are the only set of organizations on earth that can successfully combat the five global illnesses of spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, disease pandemics, dire poverty, and illiteracy, and we must actively and directly cooperate with mosques to get the job done.”
What’s that? Warren previously spoke at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles? So then he’s not Muslim; just not a Christian cloistered in his own holy huddle. Huh.
So what’s all the inauguration fuss about again?

Rick Warren Christin beliefs conflicts with the basics of Christian faith. See a clip of what comes out his mouth regarding how he thinks. http://crackle.com/c/Blogs_and_Podcasts/Rick_Warren_Denies_Christianity/2085481
And the world will follow after him.

I reviewed his speech, and found nothing wrong with it. As Christians we are obligated to help the poor and suffering, and teaming up with people who are not of our belife to help others out is just what Jesus commanded. What I do not understand is why this is a problem and why its an issue. We as children of God have a duty to go and do this and more to shine the light of Christ to all people. Get off your high horse and understand that God’s Glory will shine out no matter what, and for it to shine out while working with non-belivers is the best thing to have people come to understand who Jesus Christ is, God. step out side of your self and look at it from an eternal perspective.
Yahshua said, “I did not come to bring peace but a sword…” What we seem to forget is that He laid down the instructions that are not to be altered. He never would have gone and gathered with idolaters in their temple and said, “Come on guys, if all the worlds religions just get together we can really accomplish some great things.” In fact just take a look back back at the time of Babel. He doesn’t “play games” with the religious world. It will all be judged and destroyed. We really have to watch. Those who do not love the truth will be “turned over to the delusion.”
Jesus said, in John 14:6 “I am the way, the thruth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me.” If Warren really loved muslims, would he not want that they’d accept Christ? I wonder if he knows what the script says on the Dome of the Rock - on at least 3 of the 8 sides of the freise of the building it says “God has not taken for himself a son, and to say so is blasphemy.” Al Qaeda did not exist in 691 AD. Al Qaeda did not write in the Kuran and Hadith that Jews and Christians are decedendts of monkeys and pigs. People, read Bible Prophecy. It’s the only way to make sense of the insanity that’s our reality today. Rick Warren is part of an apostate movement - part of a strong delusion. I’ve never seen so many people as in that last few years, people who say they’re Christian but think that Jesus is not the only way to salvation. You CANNOT be saved and believe that nonsense; if you maintain that Jesus is NOT the only way, then you’re rejecting the ultimate gift that The Father in heaven has given, and that’s the atoning gift of the death of His Holy Son, Jesus, to pay for our sins! I sin. You sin. Tom Cruise sins. The Dalai Lama sins. Barack Obama sins. We ALL need a savior, plain and simple. The message is clear - Jesus LOVES us and desires that none are lost, but WE have to make the choice for him.
The day is coming, for those of you, whatever you say you are - for those of you who do not accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the day is coming that you will hear of millions of people missing. When that day comes, take what I’ve said seriously. Time is growing short.
Maranatha! May Jesus take us home soon!
I went to college in the Orange County area of California and I am familiar with Rick Warren and what they believe. First I would like to say Does Rick Warren have the Baptism of the Name of Jesus on him? Does he have the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in another tongue? (Acts 2:38, Acts 10, Mark 16:17 It is impossible for a man to discern the things of the spirit if he does not have the Spirit of the Living God, which is Jesus Christ.Living inside of him. Yes, I believe that what Mr. Warren is saying is true about loving all different kinds of people. The bible says without love we do not have nothing. But let us be clear that while Jesus loves the sinner he hates the sin and though he is a God of love he is also a God of judgement and the world no matter who you are will be judged by the Word of God. The Bible says that because they did not have a love for the truth that God himself would sent them strong dilusions that they would believe a lie and be damned. It also says that if possible even the elect would be deceived. There is One God and one truth. Let’s be careful of interfaithism. Let’s be watchful and careful.
I think Rick Warren is a deceiver. The Bible warns us about this kind of false prophets. I think he is Charismatic = Catholic/Pseudo Evangelical. He is not a TRUE Christian.
I understand the Word of God tells us to love our neighbor, and to not judge lest we be judged. This is very true and important; however, we are also taught in scripture, that there is a truth, and though we are to love, we must also separate ourselves from the nonbelievers(not conform to their delusions). Christians should be ready and willing to share the news of the plan of salvation. To sit and conform to the thinking that we can believe and do what we want in life and still be saved, is a scary misrepresentation of the truth, and is not Christianity. I feel sorry for rick warrens, for I believe most do not walk in the ways of deception purposefully, but because their hearts are only willing to accept a part of a truth, and therefore, deceive themselves. There are many walking in darkness today, and have become hardened in their knowledge and acceptance of the truth, that they are blinded, and with eyes seeing, comprehend not, and with ears hearing, do not understand. I truly feel sadness for all those without, for many of my family live without the truth.
Li, you don’t have to agree with Warren’s theology or politics, but saying he is “not a TRUE Christian?” Come on ...
Rick Warren said he came today as a Christian Pastor, but yet did not mention the name of Christ Jesus but once, and only in passing. He squandered any opportunity the Lord gave him to bring light to lost sheep, to spread the Gospel message as a disciple of Christ. I will not question his salvation, but I think Mr. Warren needs to. Matthew 7:21-23 comes to mins whenever I hear Mr. Warren.
Lets not forget Rick Warrens books that diminish Christians being saved by faith, he leans toward works playing a role in our salvation. I saw one say he saw his video and did not disagree. Well that is part of the problem with many of todays Christians the fail terribly at 2 Timothy 2:15. We are save by Grace, not by works, lest any man boast. Paul made this clear throughout Romans. I am not on a high horse, I simply believe Rick Warren is either biblically illiterate or he has other motives other then teaching the truth. I will have to let God judge him, not myself, I am a the least of whom God has saved. I simply cannot let people sit at table knowing they are eating poison and not warn them.
Does Rick Warren love the Muslim Brotherhood?
The truth is that we need to teach thru interaction, some ppl know who Christ is but needs to see Christ in us. Lets shine Christ, and stop backbiting each other. In James it does say that faith with out works is dead. Yes we are saved by faith, regenerated thru baptisim, and as a result we do good works. So if you not doing good works look at your growth in Christ and question your salvation, yes, because these become second nature to the born again Christian. He is a good teacher and pastor, do I agree with him on everything no,lets agree to disagree on somethings.
I think what Rick Warren is saying is to remember what Jesus did when he was on the earth. He went to the sinner- he loved them and spent time with them…in other words- He simply built bridges so people could feel comfortable with Him and listen to him. When we extend the arm of love- it opens many doors and opportunities. It does not mean you are compromising your faith.
obama=antichrist warren= false prophet
The #1 job of the church is to preach the gospel….not try to get all faiths to come together and agree and solve the problems of the world!
Where is that commission found in the Word of God?
I see alot of this “The number one job of the church is to preach the gospel” Thats true. Who are you going to preach it to? Those who are not of the same faith, so that they my see the light of Christ in you. Now, how do you do that? Standing at the pulpit is one effective way, another way is to work in harmony with non-belivers and reflect the love of Jesus to them. And lets get real people, how many of you in the last week have shared your faith with someone you don’t know? I dont need your numbers but think about it. If the goal of the church is to preach the gospel, then get out there and do it.
I agree that words have power but for Christians to give spiritual powers to words seems to go against the bible.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian and supports homosexuality is ignorant to the teachings of Christ.
Christianity is not a buffet. You do not get to pick and choose what you believe and not believe. You either follow it all or you are lying to yourself and those around you.
