Clinton, Gore, Carter — Christian Leaders ?

February 9, 2008 · 9 Comments

Those great and well known “Christian”  experts, former Presidents Jimmah Cahtah, Bill Clinton and many other Baptist leaders met in Atlanta for what was called “Celebration of a New Baptist Covenant.” Also attending were Obama, (Church of Christ) and Hillary, (United Methodist Church).[BOLD represents my emphasis and comments]

Included were …. Baptists from throughout North America and former members of the Southern Baptist Convention [who were] upset by its rightward shift. Carter was a lead organizer of the event.

“Thousands of participants prayed and held hands across a massive exhibit hall at the first session Wednesday night. Carter, a longtime Bible teacher at his Plains, Ga., church, called the three-day gathering “the most momentous event in my religious life.”

He [Carter] called animosity among Christians “a cancer metastasizing in the body of Christ.”

This is a great illustration of the lie of modern religious ecumenism which is forging the platform for the New World Order and the New World Religion of the last days.

The former president insisted the meeting was strictly religious, not political. [Even though] It is being held just days before Feb. 5, when 24 states will hold presidential primaries or caucuses.

Former Vice President Al Gore and former President Bill Clinton are among the major speakers. Earlier in the day, at a separate meeting of the black Baptist groups, Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke about their presidential candidacies.

Critics have dismissed the event as little more than a Democratic rally.

We concur — except, instead of Democrat. they should say Extreme Liberal.. (Same thing).

However, they all heavily emphasize Scripture on social justice.

This is nothing more than spreading the “social gospel” — which is no gospel at all.

[...]

Carter and many other Baptists severed ties with the Southern Baptist Convention when conservatives took control of the denomination in the 1970s and 1980s, waging a bitter fight over interpreting the Bible.

Excerpts from a news article here. Thu Jan 31,2008

This ecumenical meeting of those who call themselves “Christians” never mention nor promote the main tenet of Christian Theology, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus to pay the sin debt for every person in the world — and by putting our trust in Jesus, we have eternal life. These folks are preaching and organizing a world-wide anti-Biblical movement which dilutes the Gospel in favor of a false “do-good” religion of works/deeds. This organization of theological liberals is contrary to God’s Word!

When Do We Compromise?

February 6, 2008 · 4 Comments

When do we compromise our faith, our beliefs, our principles, our morals?

 NEVER !!!!

There are organizations and people, leaders and Pastors who are trying to undermine our fundamental Bible faith.

Compromise and acceptance of error is not new. It has been around for thousands of years– in fact since the beginning and has continued until today.

God told Adam and Eve,

“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17

And in direct contradiction to what God commanded, Satan (the Old Serpent) told Eve,

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:” Genesis 3:4

The Nation of Israel rebelled against God’s commands to Moses and compromised by building their special idols.

Paul wrote letters to the Corinthian Church, the Galatian church and many other churches to warn against doctrinal and moral compromise. The New Testament is full of warnings against those who preach a false message. These are false prophets regurgitating false messages to be accepted by immature Christians.

If you doubt my premise, please check out these men and their movements who seek to alter or destroy our faith:

Brian McLaren——Rob Bell

Leonard Sweet——Doug Pagitt

Tony Jones———-Dan Kimball

Rick Warren——–Erwin McManus

Plus many others people and organizations here listed by LightHouse Trails web site.:This page also contains information about LightHouse Trails and their beliefs… Well worth a look.
