Rick Warren
 

Do the words of Rick Warren leave you concern? Is what he is saying and writing truly line up with scripture? Read the following and watch the videos then decide.

The Five Fundamentals of the Faith

(1) the inerrancy of the Bible, (2) the Virgin Birth and the deity of Jesus, (3) the belief that Jesus died to redeem mankind's sin and that salvation resulted through faith in Jesus, (4) the physical resurrection of Jesus, and (5) the imminent Second Coming of Jesus.

Is this what Rick Warren calls "...legalistic, narrow view of Christianity ..." or are they part of essential Christian doctrine with eternal relevance?

Notice his comments as reported in the

The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life

 *A little pass half way down*

Rick Warren - Espousing the belief that  Religious Pluralism can solve the Worlds Problems (Global Giants) at Davos World Economic 2008

Listen carefully starting at 40min:20seconds into film for approximately 10 minutes

  • Rick's view of the world's future is religious pluralism
     

  • According to Warren, "there are major problems on our planet. I call them global giants, they affect not millions of people but billions of people, They are (1)pandemic diseases, (2)extreme poverty, (3) illiteracy, (4) corruption, (5) global warming,
    (6)spiritual emptiness. We cannot solve these problems without involving people of faith and their religious institutions...." Listen to the rest on the video.

    Well I guess Jesus has no part of the solution that Rick Warren is presenting solving
    the "Global Giants"

  • Why is Rick more concern about working together by involving people of faith and their religious institutions (Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Christian) to solve the worlds problems as opposed to sharing Christ with those who do not know him?
     

  • Can man truly address the problems of the world apart from a relationship with Christ or will a joining of the worlds religions solved the worlds problems?
     

  • Is Rick Warren misleading millions while claiming to have the answer to the Worlds problems- Global giants? Which by the way his answer doesn't appear to be Jesus of the Bible.
