A pastor is freely offering his opinion. Too bad it is completly wrong.

The Matthew 25 Network is pleased to announce a new resource for pro-life Americans, ProLifeProObama.com. Barack Obama will bring the kind of systemic, grassroots, bottom-up change we need to help families to choose life and reduce the abortion rate in this country.

I do not see how any group that proclaims to be pro-life can in good conscious support Obama. Especially in light of his historical actions to the contrary of that position.

Brian McLaren is confused, as usual. His emerging group is really non-evangelical. He does not adhere to many of the basic cornerstone’s of Christianity and is sadly mistaken on his quest for “something more.” Emerging theology is a post-modern melting pot of “anything goes” and is tragically diverting others from the real truth of Christ and who He is.

McLaren doesn’t know what he believes, so the fact he supports Obama is not really that surprising. He’s a rudderless vessel leading other rudderless individuals into a blackhole of thought that really leads to nowhere. Kinda sounds like Obama, except his leadership leads us to a socialist agenda – but at least we’ll feel good while we’re on our way because we’ll have Hope! and Change!

The Nazis received the support of several prominent Jews in their march to taking over the country.

The Jews thought that by supporting him that would temper his rhetoric.

They were sadly wrong.

Perhaps Mr. McLaren needs to look past the veneer and get a deeper understanding of just what is on offer with the Socialist Platform which he has decided to support.
Communism, Socialism, Marxism, and Liberalism all require one thing that conservatism does not,..They require a higher being, a “Just Master”, one that will administrate fairness and re-division! Let him serve this false Profit, with one warning from me,..
A Just Master Never Is!!!

The guy is focused on a works based gospel, which really is no gospel at all. And he denies foundational truths.

Why would this surprise anybody?

Liberalism fits perfectly with emerging church ideas. I don’t see how anyone could whole heartedly support emerging theology and not be a leftist to at least some degree.

McClaren has been supporting leftist politics, and Obama specifically, for a good while with his friend Jim Wallis over at God’s Politics.

What did you expect from a ball-less weenie tot who calls God a “chick”??

How is he a “Christian” anyway if he prescribes to the belief of open theism and denies the atonement of Christ? (Which by the way is pretty close to Obama’s own beliefs, if he even believes anything at all.)

This isn’t really surprising – the leaders of the Emerging Church movement and many of the other “new evangelical” leaders (yes, I’m talking about you Rick Warren) are taking the same road that the mainline denominations took in the fist half of the last century – adopting liberal economic and foreign policy views in the name of “peace and social justice”, and hoping that will make them acceptable to the dominant culture. They will end preaching appeasement and socialism and ignoring the gospel.

what’s one more fruitcake in the mix.

I recall hearing that it is:

“Better you have a millstone put around your neck and be cast into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble”

I’m, of course making the leap of logic that advocating killing small children is akin to ” causing them to stumble.”

Could be mistaken there..

Guess this guy should check his collar size

Another lukewarm supposedly Christian.

Unfortunately he doesn’t have to answer to me, he will have to explain himself one day…

“Well I thought we could get him to stop advocating killing babies if we sat around and sang Coom By Yah…”

Really sad.

People wonder why so many folks think Christians are crackpots. Look at this guy and the source of the confusion is obvious.

Maybe Jim Wright could straighten him out…

His positions on Obama are dead in line with his social gospel beliefs. You’d have to be blind to not see that Obama fits McLaren’s worldview to a T. And I’m also not surprised that Donald Miller is in the same boat…they’re both cut from the same cloth.

Heretic on Christianity, heretic on politics.

Damage to the unborn, or to an idealogical Supreme Court, cannot be undone by voting Obama out of office in 2012.

Obama is wrong on lots of other issues, but the life/judicial activism issue can’t be fixed for decades if Obama is elected.

In 2006 McLaren listed as one of his favorite books “Sex and the Single Savior” in which the author (homosexual marxist Yale prof. Dale Martin) imagines a homosexual Jesus. McLaren wrote a blurb on the back cover saying how much he has learned from Martin’s formidible, ground breaking book.
