The Worlds religions, a few Protestants, Meet with the Pope to define “Marriage.” From the article on the ongoing Nov 17th - 19th meeting: “Russell Moore, Rick Warren to Join ‘Pope Francis’ With Muslims, Buddhists for Interfaith Conference” “ROME – Russell Moore, the president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Saddleback megachurch leader Rick Warren will team up with Roman Catholic Pontiff Francis later this month for an interfaith Vatican conference on marriage and family.” “According to the Catholic News Service, those of the Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Jaina Shasana, Taoist and Sikh religions will be present, as well as Roman Catholics and professing Christians. The event is sponsored by the Pontifical Council for the Family, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.” A few thoughts on the sponsored Pontifical Council meeting: We honestly do not need the worlds religions, Roman Catholicism, and watered down Protestants that embrace Roman Catholicism defining marriage for the Christian. God Himself has already defined it: Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Mat 19:4-6 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. The “Christian unity” being referred to in the article points to unity with “Rome” through it's Roman Catholic church system. This is the same Roman Catholic Pope Francis that has recently tried to embrace the sin of homosexuality, kissed a human skin fleck and a vile containing human blood to “saint” two previous Popes. And has a “father” that tells him all are going to heaven, even atheist... (This is the cult of Universalism.)

The claim has been made that Rick Warren is part of the Emergent Church. The claim has been made the Rick Warren is a false teacher. John Piper interviews Rick Warren and discusses the Purpose Driven Life. I'll post the individual topics for discussion. Here is the whole interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTCj8PG0FPc Keep in mind that John Piper is reformed. As a Baptist Rick Warren is a mixture of Calvanism and Arminianism. From someone who knows Rick Warren personally and has worked closely with him for nearly 3 decades (my father) "I know Rick and he would not be on the same page as Mark Driscall the guru of the Emergent Church." The full transcript of the interview can be found here. God bless, GE

A good word from Rick Warren...
