This is consistent with what is taught in the Old Covenant as well: “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.” Col 3:9-10
For example, in Colossians, Paul writes about the behavior of one who follows the Messiah (Yeshua) in the following way: If a christian is indeed one who follows Christ (Messiah) as written about in the orthodox texts, we must examine a christian teacher against accepted christian texts. After all, Rick Warren teaches “christianity” in a huge church and delivers the message of Christianity to a large number of followers. Let’s compare this with what is written in the prophetic texts of orthodox Judaism and Messianic Judaism (aka: christianity). There is obviously a huge contradiction here and immediately we should be examining Warren’s credibility but many faiths like Islam and Mormonism actually condone lying if it’s done to further the faith. “During the whole Proposition 8 thing, I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, never - never once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop.

Rick Warren has lied about his position on same-sex marriage and on national television undermined his entire congregation as well as the Messianic teaching on marriage.īefore the passing of California Proposition 8 which confirmed the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman (Prop 8 had nothing to do with banning anything), Rick Warren issued a statement:.
What is Rick Warren teaching? Is it biblically accurate? This blog will examine those questions. With such an extensive outreach to the global community and in such public view of the media, Rick Warren has a special obligation to properly represent the orthodox Gospel and not another Gospel. His ministries extend around the world and Warren has been invited to speak at a number of events to represent the American Church including Ted.com and the inauguration of the secular President Barack Hussein Obama. Warren has also authored a number of christian books including the Purpose Driven Life and many others in the Purpose Driven series. Rick Warren is the head pastor at the Orange County based mega-church Saddleback Church where the average weekly attendance is around 20,000.
