Is Rick Warren ashamed of Jesus?

Bronc, Be prepared for attacks from the liberals in here.

I saw the above post just before you posted your comments. Seems RW cannot keep out of the news lately. It is truly sad to see him wink at sin and pull back his statement that was for Biblical marraige in favor of appeasing gays. WOW!

You know he is really starting to get on my nerves with this double speak. Campaign means two different things? (SMH)

It may be time for him to sit down and shut up. Why would a pastor care if he has spoken God's truth that any of it would get out to the public?

Homosexuality "might" be a sin? Now I know he is referring to the sex acts and not the orientation. SO why as a man of God would you even author this type of confusion?

First, I'm no liberal...and second, IN CONTEXT I have no problem with him saying what he did. He never once denied biblical marriage nor supported homosexuality. What he did say IN CONTEXT was that a video he intended for ONLY his church to see became public, and in hindsite considering his celebrity, would not have made that video knowing it would become public and making it look like he was endorsing politics from the pulpit. Of course the commentary that followed is more of the slanderous, gossipy excrement we see even on this board.

I understand this. And this is why a pastor must choose his words carefully. The video could have been crafted to never mention Prop 8 while calling the members of the church to stand firmly on God's BIBLICAL definition of marriage.

But for a man who stands before thousands every week to preach, he seems to be a very poor communicator, IMO.

Churches are FILLED with folks who live in the world. How'd he expect to keep it from the public by giving it to people in the public? Did he tell them to not share it? That's wasted resources if he is going to speak BIBLICAL truth with the intent that it not be shared.

I don't know dog, why would he say that then? If he thinks homosexuality maybe sin, then he thinks it may not be sin. I think scripture is very clear on this, don't you?

You've heard me rant about the church I left because it became a little Saddleback. When we were still there a few openly homosexual couples started to attend worship services (small town, everyone knew it.) The Deacons approached the pastor about either talking to them about their sin, or to at least preach from the pulpit that homosexuality was a sinful and destructive lifestyle. He refused and later said from the pulpit that his church doesn't preach against anything because that is what traditional old fundy churches did.

(SMH) Too much of this going around.

Or like another Tony Camplollo? One who has the Gospel as regarding salvation, but seems to want to make it acceptable to modern views on social issues?

And since some can't comprehend the meaning of NO "sexual" discussion, we will close this thread.
