Uh oh — don’t tell the false teachers!

See Quiet fade-out for Obama’s faith council and more here.  Turns out that Obama might have been using the false teachers*.  I’m shocked!

Not that the President ever really had one, contra this Politico report: what Barack Obama had was a collection of useful idio… ah, “a group of religious organizations that were perhaps a little too trusting of the President’s motives and intentions.” Either way, the Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships was always merely window dressing; the Democrats have always had to grapple with the problem that their rank and file voters have drastically different views on religion than do their self-selected “elite” voters. And by that I don’t just mean differences in policy positions, although that’s certainly true, too: what I primarily mean is that your average Democratic voter is much more likely to love Jesus Christ because He was, well, Jesus Christ – and not because Jesus Christ merely had an interesting take on the social gospel.

As to why it failed… from looking at the article it may be due to the besetting sin of this administration; ineptitude that may have coupled with indifference, but ended up being married off to laziness. Reading between the lines, the administration apparently made the usual mistake of merely starting something with a splash (ineptitude) and not doing the boring scut-work (indifference), secure in the knowledge that if the job was really important then somebody else would feel obligated to take up the slack (laziness). And if nobody didtake up the slack, and it turned out that somebody should have – well, that would be a problem for a few years down the road.

It’s amazing how much of this administration’s activities suddenly make almost frightening sense if you simply assume that the President and his top staff all have the mental attitude and work ethic of a new-hire college graduate who hasn’t had it driven home yet that work is not primarily a place where one may freely develop one’s self-esteem.

Portrait of a false teacher: Getting it wrong on marriage

UCC (United Church of Christ, or possibly Unitarians Considering Christ) false teacher Chuck “Jesus is not the only way” Currie doesn’t preach the Gospel of Jesus dying for our sins and rising again.  He preaches a man-made gospel after creating a god in his own image.  Example number #97 is his typical progressive perversion in his sermon titled Same Sex Marriage And Christian Ethics.

He insists that Jesus didn’t honor his parents.

He denies Jesus’ divinity.

He denies the inspiration of scripture — after all, it only quotes God 3,000 times! — by dismissing the writers as condoning slavery and promoting the the silence and subjugation of women.

Oddly, these false teachers have no doubt about the verses they like (even on those rare instances when they get them right).  The reflexively quote Matthew 25 (“the least of these”) when asking “Caesar” to take from neighbor A and “give” to neighbor B on their “behalf,” yet are pro-abortion and ignore the teachings within that text about Hell.

While dismissing the authors of scripture, he claims that we are misunderstanding and haven’t even read the passages on homosexuality — yet he offers no support for his claims.  Remember, this is the “reverend” who thinks all 100+ claims about Jesus being the only way to salvation and all the claims of Jesus being divine are wrong.  Exegesis is not his strong suit (if he has even heard of the concept).

He speaks more on politics than the Bible, as usual, and makes the non-sequitur that people being mean to gays results in the Bible saying the behavior is acceptable to God.

He says “God is still speaking,” as if the god he worships couldn’t get the Bible right the first time but that we should totally trust what that that god is telling Chuck now.  He and the apostate UCC give no evidence for why we should accept that sound bite.

The Bible couldn’t be more clear.  Even non-Christians and two out of the three types of pro-gay theologians can see these truths:

• 100% of the verses addressing homosexual behavior denounce it as sin in the clearest and strongest possible terms.
• 100% of the verses referring to God’s ideal for marriage involve one man and one woman.
• 100% of the verses referencing parenting involve moms and dads with unique roles (or at least a set of male and female parents guiding the children).
• 0% of 31,173 Bible verses refer to homosexual behavior in a positive or even benign way or even hint at the acceptability of homosexual unions.

Run, don’t walk, from wolves in sheep’s clothing like Chuck Currie and false denominations like the UCC.  They are the reason the Bible has so many warnings about false teachers.

Warning: Be sure to save a copy of your comments if you post at Chuck’s site.  He has a history of deleting comments that prove his ignorance, only to lie about what the comments really said.  Should we be surprised that a false teacher would do such a thing?

To make matters worse, his behavior has become even more creepy.  If you post under your real name and point out how flawed his biblical analysis is he will try to find out where you work and “out” you as a “hater” to your employer.  It is a common and despicable Leftist trick, but even I was surprised that the “reverend” has stooped that low.

False teachers cheer loss of religious freedom

You’d think that they would be able to think 15 minutes into the future and see that there might be a downside to them someday, but false teachers were rejoicing that the government is trampling religious freedoms in the name of health care.  Did it occur to these phonies that if they wanted to provide these benefits they could have done it without the government forcing them to?  Oh, that’s right, they want their religious views forced on others.

Via On Your Knees, Pro-Lifers: Mainline Version « The Reformed Pastor.

The United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, seconds the latter’s glee over the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to run roughshod over religious liberty in the interest of contraceptive orthodoxy

. . .

Take note, United Methodists: your GBCS wants the government to be able to force you to support practices, and spend money to support practices, that are contrary to your faith. Any Christian, whether conservative or liberal, who does not believe that this decision, if allowed to stand, will not come back to eventually haunt us is living in a dream land. But then, we’ve known that about Jim Winkler for a long time.

It makes me want to rejoin the Methodist church just so I can leave it again.

The false teachers from the UCC are just as excited to give up their freedom.

 

Portrait of a false teacher: Man, they love them some abortions!

See People Of Faith Should Stop Giving To Susan G. Komen for the Cure where false teacher Chuck Currie plays politics with health care while complaining about people playing politics with health care.  Hypocrisy: He’s doin’ it right!

Good thing for Komen that donations are up 100% since their announcement.  Maybe Chuck was a big giver but if he is like other Liberals he is mostly talk and expresses his “generosity” by coveting the wealth of others by asking Caesar to take more of it to give in his name.

Just for defunding less than 1% of Planned Parenthood’s extravagant budget Chuck & Co. are willing to see Komen suffer.  It is hard to imagine people being more pro-abortion than that.  Then again, “Reverend” Chuck thinks we don’t have enough abortions in this country and things won’t get better until taxpayers pay for more of them.

The only good news is that the wolves have taken off the sheep’s clothing.  It must have been getting too warm.

Not surprising: “The Occupy Movement turns on its Religious Supporters”

False teachers include people like Jim “the Gospel is all about wealth redistribution“ Wallis and race-baiting Chuck “Jesus is not the only way” Currie went gaga over the Occupy Movement and deemed it Christian, even preaching sermons about it in church (because that repent & believe thing is so old).  But as one might have predicted, the OWS has turned on them (as if they cared about the real Jesus to begin with).  See The Occupy Movement Turns on its Religious Supporters.

Having been anointed collectively as “Person of the Year” in 2011 by the desperate and irrelevant Time magazine, the unwashed masses of the Occupy movement seem to have let the dubious honor go to their collective head. Never known for their restrained, orderly behavior, the Occupiers have even begun turning against and repulsing their supporters among the religious left.

Initially, the Los Angeles Times pronounced the Occupy movement as “a predominantly secular undertaking,” although it did note that “some left-leaning religious groups see a golden opportunity in the Occupy movement, whose central message of greater economic equality resonates deeply among faith-based progressives.”

Sure enough, religious progressives did rush to anoint the movement as it began to swell. FrontPage contributor Mark Tooley noted that such religious left icons as Jim Wallis and Shane Claiborne rhapsodized about the Occupiers standing with Jesus in their defense of the poor, even resembling St. Francis of Assisi. “Whether or not the Wall Street Occupiers are ‘ordinary people,’” Tooley wrote, “much less resemble St. Francis, the Religious Left is bursting with pride over their naughty demands.” Wallis urged his followers to embrace the movement. . .

By the beginning of December The Huffington Post asserted that “more than 1,400 faith leaders from around the country [had] signed a pledge of solidarity with Occupy protesters.” They conducted services and provided counseling, and their churches hosted Occupy meetings. Religious communities of all stripes rushed to offer the Occupiers shelter and solidarity:

In addition to spiritual ministry and space to assemble and sleep, religious communities have provided the Occupy movement with material support such as food, clothing, tents, blankets and heaters.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams wrote that Jesus would be among the Occupiers of St. Paul’s Cathedral, and that the movement had prompting people to examine themselves and ask, “What would Jesus do?”

But the behavior of the Occupiers themselves belied all this spiritual praise. If the Occupiers did ask themselves “What would Jesus do?,” then they apparently came to the conclusion that Jesus would expose himself, rape, urinate and defecate in public, endanger children, steal, trespass, trash public and private property, harass and denounce Jews, assault non-protesters and police, block traffic, take drugs, hurl Molotov cocktails and blood and vinegar, and more. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website has posted a jaw-dropping, ongoing “rap sheet” of the Occupy movement’s reprehensible if not actually criminal behavior that numbers well over 400 incidents. But that list hasn’t been updated for a month. To date, arrests at Occupy events number over 6,000, includingover 400 in Oakland alone last weekend. By contrast, the Tea Party movement doesn’t even litter.

 

So it was only a matter of time before the Occupiers began misbehaving in the very churches that had given them sanctuary and assistance, and exposing their contempt for religious spaces and values.

Read it all: Defecation, theft, foul language, drugs, vandalism, urinating on crosses and more.  Chuck and Jim should be so proud!

The cathedral’s director of community and children’s services expressed concern about

people who were exhibiting behaviour that was indicative of poor mental health, people who were exhibiting signs of drug use including stumbling and compulsive behaviour, people who had body odor arising from significant periods without washing or change of clothing and a number of people who were clearly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

In actions that are symbolic of further rejection of the religious values the left tried to ascribe to them, Occupiers recently threw Bibles at police officers from an abandoned San Francisco hotel and disrupted a Right to Life rally inside the Rhode Island state capitol, shouting down a priest’s prayer and tossing condoms on Catholic school girls.

Despite the religious left’s attempts to ordain these barbarians, the Occupiers are no more religious or spiritual than their Marxist and Communist forbearers. And now they’re finding that out the hard way.

The most pro-abortion president ever tells you to care for others

Yep.  That’s hypocrisy in motion, cheered on by a false teacher from the apostate UCC – President Obama: Speak Up For Others #POTUSonFaith.

Obama and the UCC fight for taxpayer-funded abortions, so they are pro-abortion, not pro-choice.  They think a significant problem in the U.S. is that not enough human beings are crushed and dismembered in their mother’s wombs.  So they must lecture you about compassion, caring for the least of these, etc.

Hypocrites.

More bad news for false teachers

See Forget global warming – it’s Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again).

That’s bad timing for false teacher Chuck Currie, who recently posted a bit about climate change.  Just one more reason even false teachers should be more careful on political topics.  Haven’t heard from Chuck on the Christ-driven OWS movement lately, either.  He and the other Lefties will jump off the bandwagon (or have already, like Pelosi) much more quietly than they jumped on it.
