I don't think Yah'shua was joking when He said-
If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. John 15:18

and.....

And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. Luke 21:17.

This guy seems to be so concerned with being "relevant" to the world....that he has actually made the gospel irrelevant.

I am all for accepting people where they are at and loving them, but we do this while we are bringing them into the Kingdom. It's not a popularity contest.....as Yah'shua has already told us.

Amen

In my opinion there is nothing more evil than what is being taught in corporations and in religion of the many doctrines expounded upon by this person though he did not originate many of the teachings.

Divide and conquer, social 'church', mixing of good and evil..., the same 'Baal-Peor' relationship in hyper-drive in the end of the scattering. Many of these doctrines did not originate with Rick Warren but came from the corporate world and character engineering of the ultimate facade people put on to deceive or manipulate others which became very popular with sales people in the last 40+ years.

Any group using 'divide and conquer' are their own self-proclaimed 'supreme race' and can legally, according to what is taught, break any commandment of YHWH when it comes to a proclaimed enemy who has been determined not to fit into a social group. Divisions are caused by whom? The ultimate deceiver?

I've been divided and conquered in my career at work where my boss told me my area would be divided and conquered like I was an enemy they had determined for some reason. And in the end lost everything I had put into that job for almost 20 years. And not for any other reason than jealousy and fear of someone finding out about their lies. But to see that 'righteous' facade they put on still makes me sick to think about it.

Also, seen that same thing in a church I used to attend where a new pastor brought in that teaching and divided and conquered the whole church. Heard an Abraham and Lot sermon on splitting up the church, the most awful un-scriptural sermon I've ever heard of in my life. Many people were hurt and in the end after several years very few stayed in that ministry, but that being more of a pentecostal group. But, seeing other groups such as those having a form of godliness but denying the power of having remission of sin in walking of Spirit and Truth, loving that 'gospel' and eating it up like candy.

Well, the CFR and other organizations love these things. The 'elite' have put the same teachings to work in creating their terrorist, right hand/left hand, operations of this day and are very good at keeping everyone confused at who is causing the chaos world wide.

The 'Baal-Peor' spirit is alive and well and even seeing that Balaam forgot the commandment that YHWH is Echad/One and setup seven altars in that relationship he had made with Balak where Balak wanted him to curse Yisrael. We are to be the head following our Master and shepherd not the tail following the world and it's rulers. The same now where so called or for real redeemed Yisraelites who don't even realize who they are in Yahushua are in league with the world and it's evil rulers who worship the ultimate LIAR and deceiver. It's no wonder that the world is like their father but how tragic is it that someone would even give up their own continual salvation flowing from the throne room in heaven in lieu of the flatteries of this world and thinking that to do what our Master said to do is even to compromise our remission of sin in being set-apart and un-influenced by Iniquity of twisting the truth, that truth of the perfect witness of the scriptures is that Yahushua is Being everything witnessed of Him perfectly for our righteousness.

But if we do proclaim that truth the world will hate us of those who will not pay heed to compromise their Iniquity, to repent and to come to love the Truth of Spirit for that is to find salvation in our great savior where He gives us mercy and love when we always walk in Yes to Him. We should also never purposefully compromise the Truth to twist it into Iniquity as well. Can we hear those sad words "Depart from me?" for those who willingly refuse to understand? Are those words for those whose mouth has used our great savior for man's esteem and glory in great religious pride, even for some popular "spiritual" leaders and did not take it to heart that our savior is the one we should be most interested in pleasing as we please our Father YHWH Echad.

Maybe a topic I'm passionate about are these false doctrines spewed out by Rick Warren, his and many other like-minded ministries, and the same that came from who knows where before him in the corporate world, because I've been hurt by them and see the deceptions that many religious people have eaten up and wind up operating upon above the commandments of YHWH where they lightly esteem our Messiah and trample Him underfoot as in His very Heart because He is the commandments of YHWH in His Being who became as a man and spoke none other than as YHWH Echad/One.

Strange those would think that a new concept is a purpose driven life. That should be to have a relationship being born from above having remission of sin with our savior where the Holy Spirit is the only teacher we wind up needing once we mature. And then there is no question about purpose. But, we see the definitions and meanings skewed into some worldly thinking and maybe a good sounding thing for a social gospel where some truth gets mixed to become iniquity and that will be seen soon in the ultimate LIE. Sounds good on the surface, draws in many with that sugar and then the poison takes effect after eating past the sugar coating. Jim Jones would be a good analogy but rather spiritual cyanide instead of physical... Shalom!
