The gospel according to Rick Warren
The video below is from Rick Warren's appearance on Comedy Central's Colbert Report… This was an excellent opportunity for Rick to share the gospel with millions of viewers and what do you think happened? This just makes me want to puke!!! No reference of the gospel period….But at least Rick remains consistent.
Warning!!! Viewing this video requires a brown paper bag.
This is yet another example of the social gospel. The apeasement of man, with no regard for God's truth. Instead of telling people the truth "the gospel", he makes the audience feel good. Using phrases like "There are things that we are going to do in heaven that we have to practice here so we're not a doofus", "When you be who God made you to be, that makes him smile", "God gets enjoyment at watching you be you" and"When you be you, God looks down, he goes "thats my boy"."
Here are my questions for Rick Warren:
1.Who are the "we" going to heaven? Is there a hell? If so, who is going there?
2. What is a doofus? Is that the word for sinners? Or does the doofus make it to heaven too?
3. Does God get more enjoyment out of watching you be you, or you conforming more to Christ?
This again sounds like peaceful universalism mush. Everybody that lives, "the we's" of this world, are going to make it. Just live like who you are supposed to be and you will be ok.
This absence of any scripture makes me sick :(
The only doofus seems to be the fundementalist, "The term "fundamentalism" was originally coined to describe a narrowly defined set of beliefs that developed into a movement within the US Protestant community in the early part of the 20th century. These religious principles stood in opposition to the modernist movement and espoused the strict adherence to and faith in religious "fundamentals". Which Rick clearly states he is not a fundementalist. So any of us that may hold to some fundemental views are probably a doofus by default.
Just in closing, when I let me be me.. I turn to my own unrighteousness and the desires of my flesh. I really believe, that is what being a doofus is!!!
by His grace alone,

ah yes, the porpoise drivel mess-age.
my purpose is to put the "fun" back into fundamentalism!
;-)
fundamentalists are people who have stopped listening? oh yeah, and Rick is so open minded his brains are falling out.
John Gresham Machen, where are you?
Rofl, it is unfortunate nonsense!
Rick and Joel O' would make great business partners..
Smile Jesus loves you, he doesn't care what you do as long as you are true to yourself and others.. Sounds more like an episode of Barney the purple dinosaur...
"I love you, you love me, were a happy family, with a great big hug lah lah lahlahlah lah" etc.....
No gospel = No fundementals
Machen would be fired up!!! If he saw just how wide the river of liberalism has become today...

Warefield would of wrote a book in pure latin over this that we'd be studying for a good 75 years and Van Til would be telling jokes about Purpose Driven Donut eating to his students.
Oh, and check out this.
