These seeker types tend to be extremely sincere in their beliefs. Obviously, I agree he is sincerely wrong, but I'm not sure I can question the man's character. On Obama...Christian? Hah! I don't think the abortion issue is complex from either a scientific or theological view. And considering his past statements which are extremely radical on abortion, I have serious doubts about this man's faith. At least when it comes to faith in my God.

I think we should denote the alternative since it conveys his theology and thus character. I'm sure Morey has already used that name in private. Jean Cauvin Hello,

We all know the alternative name for Rick. I think we should denote the alternative since it conveys his theology and thus character.

I’m sure Morey has already used that name in private.

Here is a YouTube for it (at 2:45 into the clip). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsmAu1UbmPM&feature=related I think this is also a very interesting position to take as a Christian. Last night Obama claimed that he is a Christian and a follower of Christ. With that in mind now watch Obama's answer to this question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NHG3_FoB24 I think that he is quoting Prov 12:15, I just can’t find the version.

Everything was very vegue as far as scripture and "worldview" goes, even though it was suppose to be about thier worldview, I dont know if they represent thier personal worldview.

Anyone have the quote? Also this quote Here is another mis quote "to much is given much is required" Luk 12:44 "Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. Luk 12:45 "But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, {both} men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; Luk 12:46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect {him} and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. Luk 12:47 "And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, Luk 12:48 but the one who did not know {it,} and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more. Luk 12:49 "I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

I hadn't heard that one! Let us not forget that a Biblical world view given as a gift from God to His own whom He has Saved should produce righteous fruit (ie widow and orphan care, the sick, the jailed etc). This is why we work so hard here to bring to light false teachers, false doctrine etc. We pray God's blessing to those who come here that their eyes would be opened and their hearts be made Scripturally healthy and that we may all be about the Fathers business.

Believe me, I have my fair share of criticisms about the doctrinal wishy-washyness endemic to Saddleback church (not least of all the claim I heard from their pulpit that, and I quote, 'God doesn't care if you're a Mormon or a Muslim, as long as you love Him.'...surely the God who desires to be worshipped in spirit and truth cares profoundly if you think He's a mere exalted man or sanctioner of infidel slaying). But for all the important criticisms that can and should be made (and in a spirit of love), I wonder how many of us combine our contending for the faith with an honest prayerful look at our own hearts, asking whether we have heeded the repeated biblical call to social action, the frequent commands (not suggestions) to combat not only heresy but also oppression, injustice, and social corruption in a way that makes our supremely Just God more famous and glorified in the world. How bout we match every criticism we level, with a loving action that reflects something of God's concern for the poor and oppressed. Just a thought, After all, just as orthopraxy without orthodoxy is heresy, so orthodoxy without orthopraxy is hypocrisy. T.
