Rick Warren's PEACE Plan Toolbox: "Isa" the Muslim Jesus


Council on Foreign Relations member and mega-church pastor Rick Warren has a habit of compromising biblical truth to forge unholy alliances with sworn enemies of the Gospel. Warren has stepped onto the slippery slope and landed exactly in the "interfaith" camp, rather than being faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ and His inerrant Word. His endorsement of the former British Prime Minister's "Tony Blair Faith Foundation" is only part of his "interfaith" sell-out.

For example, when Rick Warren gave President Barack Obama's inaugural invocation in January 2009, his inclusive ecumenical idolatry was loud and clear. Using the modern evangelism tool of "bridge building" in order to reach the lost is one thing, but there is nothing more damaging to the Gospel than inter-faith dialogue - especially on the scale of Warren's ministry.

Let's Backtrack 
Were you overwhelmed with the fact that Obama was elected, inaugurated, and you couldn't bear listening to Rick Warren's inaugural prayer? If you missed it, as I did, you would have missed the piece of the puzzle that will bring about the religion of the Antichrist. Listen to this excerpt.

(YouTube link) (start at 0:53 on the counter)

Warren said, 
“I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus….”
Of course, Isa would have been understood by Muslims, to be the Islamic prophet mentioned throughout the Koran. Warren’s prayer to Allah, in the name of Isa, should have shocked every Christian who heard that prayer, but the media covered it up. The Bible says,
“The priests said not, Where [is] the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit." – Jeremiah 2:8
Well, let's try to give Warren the benefit of the doubt and listen to his explanation of who Isa is.


As you heard Warren say, he believes that Isa and the Lord Jesus Christ are one in the same. Why would he do this? According to researcher and Pastor Joe Schimmel, "World peace is dependent on Muslims and Christians recognizing "Allah" and "Yahweh" as the same God."

Schimmel explains that over 300 prominent Christian leaders signed a letter issued by the Yale Center for Faith and Culture claiming the importance of this unity. The letter titled "Loving God and Neighbor Together," was written in response to a signed document by 138 Muslim leaders titled "A Common Word Between Us and You."  Brian McLaren, Rick Warren, Robert Schuller and Bill Hybels were just several of the signatories, [1] as well as Tony Blair and Pope Benedict.

Schimmel goes onto say, "Both of these documents affirmed Muhammad as a "Prophet" of God and declared that world peace was dependent on mutual affirmation of the "unity" of God.

Dr. William Lane Craig, a leading Christian apologist and philosopher, correctly stated that by signing this document, Rick Warren and others were, in effect, signing up to become Muslims! This is because an affirmation of Allah as God is a denial of the Triune God revealed in Holy Scripture. Moreover, the Quran denies that Jesus is the Son of God, no less than nine times."

The Islamic "Common Word" document, in effect, calls on Christians to affirm the Islamic understanding of the unity of God as a precondition to achieving world peace. Part and parcel of implementing Shariah law around the world is the imposition of the worship of Allah worldwide:
Believe in Allah and say not "Trinity." Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. (Quran, Sura 4:171) [2]
This Explains A Lot!
This is why there has been a shift away from "sin issues" — like abortion and gay marriage — in Warren's approach - which has been a dumbing down of Christianity. He says he is more interested in issues that he feels are "uniting," such as "poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and human rights." These are all U.N. goals, by the way.

Eight years ago, he concocted what he calls the PEACE plan, a bid to turn every single Christian church on earth into a provider of local health care, literacy and economic development, leadership training and spiritual growth. The enterprise has collected testimonials from Bono, the First Couple, Hillary Clinton, Obama, McCain and Billy Graham, who called it "the greatest, most comprehensive and most biblical vision for world missions I've ever heard or read about." [3] Since when is Socialism biblical? 

When public and Church leadership promote Warren's plan, it gives credibility to his lies, and presents Christ as one of many ways to heaven. Influential pastor's, such as John Piper, have given credibility to Warren's work, which only builds trust and helps build more bridges to hell.

Islam End Time Prophecy
This CBN broadcast gives you a feel for how close we are to having them hatch their plan.


(YouTube link)

In some YouTube videos, Armedinejad states that the Zionists have changed Muslim end time prophecy into one of violence, and that the Imam Mahdi will bring peace. But Muslims are told in the Koran that it is alright to lie to the infidel, so this statement may be completely false. Regardless, as we wait for the Imam Mahdi and the false Jesus of Islam to claw their way out of that silly well, we will then learn how many Christian leaders will lead their congregations down the wide path. The Bible emphatically warned about those who would come presenting a counterfeit Jesus'.

 "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Matthew 24:23-28

Peace in a Globalized Society

The full conversation between Pastor Rick Warren and Faith Foundation's Tony Blair at Saddleback Church earlier this month.

Watch Tony Blair at Saddleback
(Saddleback link)

"...Tony Blair and Rick Warren are both important participants in a type of New Age "rebirthing."  They are attempting to rebirth multitudes of Christians in beliefs that they must participate in both prophetically warned of redistribution and initiation systems.  We know, at least from media accounts, that Tony Blair underwent New Age rebirthing. I submit that the New Age process is one of termites from within, wrecking balls from without.  Looks to me as though Rick Warren and Tony Blair, wittingly or unwittingly, may be accomplices in both processes."

Religious Trojan Horse: Fabian Socialism, Tony Blair, and Rick Warren


(WorldviewWeekend link) (Sorry about the auto-start)

This is the stained-glass window from the Beatrice Webb House in Surrey, England, former headquarters of the Fabian Society. It was designed by George Bernard Shaw and depicts Sidney Webb and Shaw striking the Earth with hammers to "REMOULD IT NEARER TO THE HEART'S DESIRE," a line from Omar Khayyam. Note the wolf in sheep's clothing in the Fabian crest above the globe. The window is now on display at the London School of Economics (LSE), which was founded by Sydney and Beatrice Webb.

    


The window was officially unveiled by a ceremony attended by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is a member of the Fabian Society. [1]


Rick Warren sits on the International Religious Advisory Council, made up of members of the major religions. Its role is to advise Tony Blair on the work of the Faith Foundation. [2] This would explain why Blair decided to speak at the special forum at Saddleback.

The above video is an excerpt from a 4 1/2 hour series, which can be found here.

2011 SBC Pastors’ Conference Features Rick Warren


The June 12-13 conference in Phoenix, Ariz., will be held under the theme, "Aspire: Yearning to join God's Kingdom Activity," taken from Romans 15:20. The 2011 SBC Pastors' Conference is held prior to the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, and features renowned speakers including John Piper, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.

Those who are less known, but many have problems with are Darrin Patrick. He is Vice President for Acts 29 Church Planting Network, and he is scheduled to speak.  Acts 29 is the network run by Mark Driscoll, the controversial pastor in Seattle, WA, who is associated with the Emerging Church movement. He is no longer associated with the liberal branch of the Emerging Church, which is the branch of the movement that Brian McLaren is involved with, but Driscoll still believes the gifts are for today.

Second, is Jamar Jones, who serves as the Executive Director of Music and Fine Arts at the Potter’s House Church, Dallas Texas. Those familiar with T.D. Jakes and his non-trinitarian understanding of Holy Deity should immediately understand the problem.  Theological modalism is hardly a belief which may be called orthodox, much less within the sphere of Southern Baptists' confession of faith. [1]

I know that many of you have been holding on by your fingernails and continuing to attend the Southern Baptist Churches. I believe there will come a day that you will no longer put up with the compromise of the SBC.

Rick Warren, Tony Blair Talk about Faith, Mideast, 9/11


(ChristianPost) Pastor Rick Warren and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair shared an evening conversation Sunday in front of more than 2,600 people about faith, the Middle East, globalization, and 9/11.

Speaking at the seventh Saddleback Civil Forum, Blair told Warren that he believes the most important issue in the long term is centered on faith. As diverse people are forced to live together, he said at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., the key question is, “How do we find common understanding?”

“Faith teaches you to understand there is something more important than yourself, which is an important principle in working toward a better world. If individuals can see people of faith in action, helping in support of others, it makes this process of globalization easier,” Blair said.

The former prime minister also said, “If faith doesn’t have a major role, then the risk is a process of globalization without values, without beliefs, without conviction.” (Read more)

Dumb quote of the night
“Interfaith dialogue doesn’t mean compromising your faith or finding the lowest common denominator, but explaining each other’s faith for better understanding.” Rick Warren

Rick Warren to Interview Tony Blair at Saddleback Church


Megachurch Pastor Rick Warren will speak to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Egypt and peace in a globalized economy next month at Saddleback Church.

Blair is "very excited" about being a guest lecturer at the seventh Saddleback Civil Forum to be held March 6, said the California megachurch pastor on Sunday.

"We're going to take five letters of the Global PEACE Plan and the five global giants and talk about spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic diseases, and illiteracy and education. These are the five problems the PEACE Plan is designed to [address]," Warren told his congregation. (Read more)

Tony Blair has been instrumental in bridging religious divide and bring about unity, in the light of globalization. So essentially, the man who wants to bring about the one world religion, has been invited to speak at Warren's church.

Rick Warren Hosts 'Cult' Celebrity Doctors


(Worldnetdaily) When megachurch pastor Rick Warren decided he needed to take his health seriously, he responded in typically ambitious fashion, launching a year-long health program for his church, "The Daniel Plan," written with the help of three celebrity doctors who will appear at a kickoff seminar today.

But critics point out the physicians who crafted the program apparently don't share the church's professed evangelical beliefs, espousing instead various forms of Eastern mysticism and the tenets of a Christian cult, Swedenborgism.

Vowing to lose 90 pounds, Warren said he placed himself under the care of Drs. Mehmet Oz, Daniel Amen and Mark Hyman last fall and worked with each to develop "The Daniel Plan."

Oz, host of the Emmy-winning "Dr. Oz Show" and professor of surgery at Columbia University, says he is inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th century cult founder who taught that all religions lead to God and denied orthodox Christian beliefs such at the atonement of Christ for sin, the trinity and the deity of the Holy Spirit.

Texe Marrs: Sarah Palin was Chosen by Zionist Billionaires in Israel


(YouTube link)

Texe Marrs, a professing Christian fundamentalist, has a discussion with Alex Jones concerning some of the moves being made in the name of religion. This is an old 2008 broadcast, but some good information is provided - especially about Sarah Palin.

The interview was supposed to be about Jesuits, but this discussion was a diversion. The points made were:
  • The Council on Foreign Relations is an aristocracy of the elite from all sectors of the country. The CFR has established a religious roundtable. Henry Kissinger was the Chairman at the taping of this interview.
  • The Pope has appointed Henry Kissinger as his political advisor.
  • Tony Blair has become Catholic so he can become the future political head of Europe. This is because the EU is a political Vatican body.
  • Rick Warren and Richard Land are part of Henry Kissinger's roundtable.
  • The Council for National Policy is heavily weighted to the Catholic side.
  • The 700 Club was originally Catholic.
  • Pro-illegal immigration groups belong to the CFR.
  • One of the objectives of CFR is to bankrupt the morality of all Christians.
  • Sarah Palin was chosen by Zionist billionaires in Israel before McCain even knew her name. Israel radio had a 2-hour special on Sarah Palin right after she was elected Governor of Alaska. They said that we have a pro-Zionist as Governor, and forecasted a great future for her. Sarah claims that she has a flag of Israel in her office. She was quoted as saying that she would never second guess the intentions of Israel. If Israel wants to go to war with Iran, then she would support the effort. (This is part of the Illuminati playbook. I am a supporter of the nation of Israel, but there are Freemasons in charge of their government.)
There are other parts to this video. Texe also discusses his Mysterious Monuments book, and some of the Illuminati symbolism in them.

Warning! The Purpose Driven Heresy


(Google video link)

This video describes the techniques used to bring in heresy within the church. The purpose driven model has been read and accepted by many church leaders of our day, and his techniques only weaken the Church with unrepentant converts.

The following are some examples used by Warren to create change in his church, and change the practices of the Church as a whole for the purposes of church growth.

  1. The model of church growth used by Warren requires the new members to sign a covenant, which requires them not to gossip (compare deception noticed by other members), commit to the leadership, required to participate in small groups, and pledge to tithe. Church covenants are used for manipulation of the membership.
  2. Warren also encourages the pastor to be the CEO of his church, as his form of proper management style. He has a website where pastors can download sermons, so they can spend more time on managing the church and its programs, instead of studying the Word. To counter this, 1 Tim 5:17 says that the elders of the church should be laboring in the doctrinal study of the Word. The Word should be his first priority; managing should take second priority.
  3. Warren gives justification to bringing unbelievers into the Church, and says that the tares and the wheat should grow together - and they can be sorted out later. But Jesus was interested in purity within the Church, because He instructed they should be excommunicated if they one cannot be restored (Matt. 18); we are not to eat with sinning Christians (1 Cor. 5:11); Christ wants to present a Church without spot or blemish (Eph. 5:27); and there is an example of church purity in 1 Tim. 1:19-20. 
  4. We are to be judging those within the Church to see that they are faithful to the Word of God, and remove those who continue to sin (1 Cor. 5:12,13).
 The video is lengthy, but those attached to a church may want to see if any of Warren's strategies are being used by your pastor. The speaker will explain how it will damage the body of Christ.
