Rick Warren.. The world loves you!
By Tracye Gano

Rick Warren made a statement in his damage control spin piece about his so called favor to a neighbor trip to Syria. He once again distorts and perverts the Scriptures to give credibility to his purpose driven doctrine of devils.

Here is Rick Warren in his spin doctor letter to his pdlobots at Saddleback

“Friends, I am aware that inaccuracies, misquotes, and misperceived motivations get reported about me In the press daily. Most of the time, I just ignore them. Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember that it Hated me first.” (John 15:18 - NCV)

I love the paraphrase of Matthew 5:11-12 (The Message version): “Count yourselves blessed every time people put you Down or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and They are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all Heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten Into this kind of trouble.””

Rick … Let me just publicly state for the record here … The world LOVES you!

I just want to add this verse:

James 4:4 Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, purposes to be a friend of the world is put down as hostile to God.

Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
Gen 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;

I was reading this article called ‘Why I’m backing Israel‘ and I continued to read the comments, there are many that have commented on this article. But one comment really struck me and brought to my mind the above verse. I will quote them:

The problem in this land is that we have one country which contains two separate nations both of whom originate from here.

If you take even a cursory reading of the comments following this article, they are mainly anti-Israeli/Zionist policy and it is apparent that they do not understand this issue biblically because they have not even given any consideration to what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob even says about it. I am not going to comment further today on this but I may address this at a later date. For now you may want to know where I stand by these posts that I have written previoulsy:

• Whose land is it anyway?

• Whose land is it anyway? — Part Two

• Any opinion is biased — Why? — because I said so!

I have always written my posts from a biblical perspective firstly. I choose to understand the people of Israel and the people of Arabia through that prism. I have made a conscious decision to start at the very beginning, to the womb if you like, to the actual birth of these two nations and people. Actually, I would think it would be impossible to defend any land rights on either side of the equation fairly if you fail to understand the historical beginnings of both peoples. Two nations struggling inside one womb, which is now a small country.

Where are these people first mentioned in history, how did it all begin? What, Who and Why are these people Israel/Jacob? They have a long history as do the people of Ishmael/Esau. Both people have been promised land and both people have been promised nations. Wouldn’t you like to know where it all started?
