Moriel Statement on Rick Warren

If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

Moriel Statement:
Rick Warren
Rick Warren at ISNA July 4th, 2009

MORIEL MINISTRIES - By James Jacob Prasch - February 27, 2013  

Moriel & Jacob Prasch fully endorse the recent conference remarks by Paul Smith warning about the seriously dangerous nature of the actions and false doctrines of Rick Warren.

 

Any honest review of the irrefutable facts supports Paul Smith's caveats.

 

1st - Rick Warren's recent open equivocation on same sex marriage to The Huffington Post after being publicly exposed for two contradictory statements concerning California's Proposition 8 fits the fact that Rick Warren co- forwarded Dan Kimball's book 'THE EMERGENT CHURCH' with Emergent Church Guru Brian McLaren who last month performed the same sex marriage of his son to his son's husband in a supposedly "Evangelical' ritual. The contrast of the two contradictory statements would impress anyone watching them that Rick Warren is a double talking liar. In light of this equivocation on same sex marriage, it is now a public shame and a disgrace for any Christian pastor or leader to now sanction the so-called ministry of Rick Warren. 

 

2nd - Rick Warren's 'Global Peace Plan' calling for partnering with worshippers of other gods (whom Moses and Paul both identified in God's Word as demons) in order to usher in global peace is the anti christ agenda for a false, Christ-less peace that scriptural prophecy predicts and warns against in the last days. It is a public shame and a disgrace for any Christian leader to lend credence to the architect of such a blatantly satanic agenda.

 

3rd - Rick Warren's downplay of repentance in his Purpose Driven model is a false gospel. In any New Testament model of the true gospel, repentance is central, not peripheral and a condition of regeneration, not only a post salvation sanctification. The marketing psychology based strategy Rick Warren borrowed from secular marketing entrepreneur, Peter Drucker and various figures involved in New Age "New Thought" drives this point even further.

 

4th - Rick Warren's instruction to ignore end time prophecy as a diversion directly contradicts the unambiguous commands of the Lord Jesus in The Olivet Discourse to Be Alert for the signs of His Second Coming. Worse still is Rick Warren's "cut and paste" style of eisegesis translocating verses between New Testament books to make the text appear to state things it does not is cultic and heretical. It even goes beyond Rick Warren's preference for Eugene Peterson's 'The Message,' which often bears no resemblance to the original meaning of the original Greek texts instead of preaching from The Word of God. 

 

We thank God for the uncompromising courage and integrity displayed and exhibited by Paul Smith in his stance and we stand with his remarks solidly.

 

Anyone who truly fears God, believes His Word, and understands the irrefutable documented facts about Rick Warren can do no other. Rick Warren is one of the false teachers whom Jesus` warned would come to deceive the elect and prepare the way for the anti-christ in the Last Days. The proven facts examined in light of God's Words can leave room for no other viable conclusion.

 

We will all stand before The Lord. Pastors will give account to Jesus for if or not they protected His sheep for whom He died from the wolves sent to devour them according to Jesus, Ezekiel and Peter and James tells us that teachers of scripture will be judged by The Lord more strictly than the rest. Let us all take heed.

Falling Short - Rick Warren
CWM.org [CHRISTIAN WITNESS MINISTRIES] - By Mark Mullins - November 22, 2012
Rick Warren has become a legend in his own lifetime as a result of writing the Purpose Driven Life which has sold some 30 million copies and the size of Saddleback Church which is some 24,000 strong. He has prayed at the inaugural ceremonies of Presidents George Bush and Barak Obama.

Rick Warren is considered to be a conservative evangelical holding biblical views on such matters as saving faith[1], hell[2](although Saddleback's statement of faith is weak) and creationism[3]. It is this apparent orthodoxy in Rick Warren that has put many off his scent and led to his acceptance as a card carrying evangelical. ...

Rick Warren and Islam
[...] Perhaps the most shocking of Warren's errors is his compromise with Islam. Along with Robert Schuller, John Stott, Yonggi Cho and Bill Hybels, Warren signed a statement from Yale University welcoming an open letter signed by 138 Muslim leaders written to leaders of the Christian faith entitled, A Common Word Between Us, which was published on 13th October 2007. It claims that love of God and love of neighbour are central to both religions[5]. The problem is that the Muslim letter contains statements that refer to the false belief that Muslims and Christians worship the same God: ...
