It is a great tragedy that Rick Warren discipled an entire generation of pastors. Rick Warren pioneered seeker-friendly megachurch culture, in the United States, and taught many pastors and church planters to do likewise using Purpose Driven Church. Eventually, the Southern Baptist Convention would disfellowship Warren’s Saddleback Church over their ordination of female pastors.
In politics, no one is further from the truth and less reliable than the “enlightened centrist” a character who fancies himself above the political fray and is more knowledgable than either side. Even the rabid liberal understands the zero-sum nature of politics and how power is used better than the enlightened centrist, which is why Barack Obama was so devastatingly effective compared to Republican Presidents until this second Trump term. Rick Warren ironically fancies himself the enlightened centrist.
This post by Rick Warren drew millions of views but was ratio’d into oblivion, being universally mocked for its retardation. Rick Warren likens the thieves to political parties and then Jesus is in the middle where the truth is. Uncharacteristically, Rick Warren quotes from the New International Version, inserting “Jesus” instead of “him.” This is worth mentioning because Warren tends to never cite the translation so that he can manipulate the text how he pleases.
There is so much wrong here it’s hard to know where to start. First, Rick Warren creates a false moral equivalency between the left and the right. Even in the Bible Jesus sides with one of the thieves who recognizes his own guilt juxtaposed with Christ’s innocence. But according to Rick Warren, Jesus stands in the middle of the side that wants to transgender children and the side that opposes such abuse.
The moderate middle is also a foundation of sand being pulled mostly to the left until this past election cycle. Jesus is the cornerstone, not a sand particle among a sea of normies. Christ is not part of the mushy middle.
While Rick Warren fancies himself an enlightened centrist, his record is one of being a rabid liberal himself. Rick Warren was a lockdown and mandate proponent during Covid. But he also loved himself some Black Lives Matter riots.
Rick Warren attacked faithful pastors who remained open during Covid. Rick Warren is a feminist and his church is covertly affirming of homosexuality alongside Andy Stanley.
Rick Warren is not in the center; he’s on the far left. The mockery Warrne’s hubristic statement received will hopefully go far in exposing the fraud that he and his legacy are.

I went to a church where a pastor would do the bounce between translations when citing verses.
When doing personal study seeing other translations, and seeing the common threads may be helpful, but during a 30 minute sermon, bouncing around versions to the congregation seems random, to those with a concern for right exposition of scripture it breeds skepticism.
I loved that pastor greatly, I always read my version when I saw the references.
Today you have some pastors who won’t even put the references up, so you don’t know where they are getting their ideas from. Christians should be on guard for this.
In their desperation to be “hip” and “modern”, and their lust for the approval of secular antichrist modern society, the cuckvangelicals such as Rick Warren have heavily corrupted Christianity.
Increasingly, the attention-seeking antics of the cuckvangelicals don’t seem like real Christianity at all, but rather a form of entertainment.
It’s the clownification of Christianity, promoted by the same charlatan grifting false teachers who promote “Christian” zionism, judaism worship, race-mixing, miscegenation, and other vile degeneracy.
Maybe a better term for the cuckvangelical Sunday circuses is the Hollywoodification of Christianity, or the Comsumerization of Christianity.
Increasingly, “Christianity” has become a form of entertainment, where the biggest circus clowns (Rick Warren, Robert Morris, Steve Furtick, etc) draw the biggest crowds.
100 years ago, Christian Sunday church services were a solemn, serious, and respectful event. The congregation (and certainly the preacher) wore formal clothing, and the preacher gave serious sermons and promoted traditional conservative social values, and the church buildings looked elegant and traditional, instead of like a movie theater or a sporting arena.
Fast forward to today, where clown pastors like David Platt get up on the altar (actually more like a theater stage) dressed in jeans, a wrinkled T-shirt, and sneakers, and blather about sportsball while showing off how progressive and politically-correct they are, while 5000 lemming megachurch attendees mindlessly applaud.
This nonsense needs to stop, because the subversive traitorous lying false teachers are driving MANY good people away from Christianity, by FALSELY portraying “god” as a malevolent, destructive, cultural marxist, anti-White, malicious, jewish supremacist monster.
Of course, the traitorous false teachers are LYING about God, but unfortunately a lot of people believe the lies and walk away from Jesus Christ and become atheists or pagans or whatever.
True Christians need to take back Christianity from the lying treasonous charlatans who have hijacked it and corrupted it into something repulsive.
True Traditional Christianity must be restored.
My old SBC church modeled after Saddleback. I always thought Warren’s theology was an inch deep and a mile wide. Many people are deceived by that nonsense.
On an unrelated note, with all the news that is coming out regarding USAID/CIA/State Department funding of “Christian” groups that advance (((Anti-White globalism))), something else that needs to be urgently investigated is whether “Christian” missionaries both here in the USA and in foreign countries, are being paid to propagate a cultural marxist, perverted version of “Christianity” that advances (((globalist))) interests.
Are these American/Western “missionaries” actually evangelizing the Gospel of Christ, or does are they evangelizing a subversive, destructive version of “Christianity” that comes with a cultural marxist poison pill attached, which is (((intended))) to weaken and undermine the homogeneity and ethno-racial identity of foreign countries, so they can all be turned into diverse multi-racial sinkholes like Western countries are rapidly becoming?
Are any “Christian” missionaries or their parent organizations receiving any funding from any federal agencies (CIA/USAID/StateDept/etc), or from jewish sources?
What sort of Christianity are the “Christian” missionaries evangelizing to people throughout the world?
Are the missionaries evangelizing real Christianity, or are the evangelizing subversive cultural marxism with a “Christian” coat of paint?
As an example: “Oh unreached people groups in China/Vietnam/Burma/Wherever, please allow us into your country so we can teach you all about our version of “Christianity”! Haven’t you heard the “good news” about how the “christian god” is a destructive malevolent monster who wants to destroy your race and your peaceful homogenous country, and will send you to hell if you don’t interbreed with africans and muslims, and blend your race out of existence! Unreached people groups, the “christian god” hates “racism” and “anti-semitism”, so if you don’t want to get sent to hell, you’d better open your borders and let millions of africans and muslims into your homogenous peaceful countries, so the diversity can turn your country into Somalia or Pakistan! That’s right, unreached people groups! The “christian god” demands that you destroy your own country by turning it into Detroit, and commit racial suicide by mating with africans and muslims! Oh and by the way, “god” hates “anti-semitism” and “holocaust” denial too, so if you don’t want to get sent to hell, you’d better get busy worshipping the evil jews who want to enslave all of humanity! That’s right unreached people groups! The “christian god” demands that you worship the jewish race while embracing the destruction and erasure of your own race! Aren’t you so glad to hear the “good news”, unreached people groups????”
Is that the sort of evil, subversive, cultural marxist, antichrist, destructive trash that western missionaries are evangelizing throughout the world?
Because that is EXACTLY the sort of subversive, evil, manipulative, malicious, destructive cr*p that the cuckvangelicals are promoting as “Christianity” in western countries.
If the above example is the sort of evil, subversive, destructive, genocidal, corrupted version of “Christianity” that western missionaries are evangelizing, then I can’t blame the leaders of countries such as China, North Korea, Vietnam, etc for banning “Christian” missionaries from their countries, in order to protect their people from being brainwashed and manipulated and deceived into believing that “god” demands that they destroy their own country and their own race by mating with africans/muslims, while simultaneously being required by “god” to worship the evil jews.
Who would want to follow such an evil and destructive and monstrous religion?
Considering how destructive and harmful western cucked corrupted “Christianity” has become, it’s no surprise that there aren’t many converts in foreign countries.
And it’s no surprise that the leaders of those countries don’t allow western “Christian” missionaries to evangelize in those countries.
The western cuckvangelicals, by injecting cultural marxism into Christianity, have ruined and corrupted the beautiful Christian religion, and transformed it into a harmful and repulsive and abhorrent ideology which seeks to destroy everything good in the world, and turn the entire world into Pakistan or the Congo.
This false, corrupted version of “Christianity” is extremely disturbing, because it puts good, decent, honorable people in a position where they are deceived into believing that “god” wants to destroy their race and their people, and that they must choose between following the destructive evil “god”, or being loyal to their own race/people.
Many good people who are deceived into believing that they must choose between following “god” or caring about their own people, will understandably abandon Christianity, because no good or decent or loyal or honorable person would want to follow an evil depraved “god” who demands that you embrace the destruction and genocide of your own race/people.
The cuckvangelicals are driving MANY people AWAY from Christianity, with their FALSE claims that Christians are required to embrace cultural marxism.
Of course, the cuckvangelicals don’t care that they are driving countless people AWAY from Christ, because the cuckvangelicals’ highest priority is groveling to (((modern antichrist secular society))) for approval, bragging about how politically correct they are, and of course raking in lots of judas shekels.
In their depraved lust for the approval of (((antichrist secular modern society))), the western cuckvangelicals have married cultural marxism to “Christianity” and made destructive genocidal anti-White cultural marxism an integral and non-negotiable and mandatory pillar of their corrupted, cucked, false version of “Christianity.”
I certainly hope that no Christian missionaries are being paid by the US government or by (((soros))) type organizations, to use a false, twisted and perverted version of “Christianity” as a tool to destroy homogenous peaceful countries.
But considering the recent revelations about all the nefarious subversive activities that USAID/CIA/StateDept is funding throughout the world, this issue needs to be thoroughly investigated.
If some or any of the “Christian” missionaries that evangelize in foreign countries are secretly being funded by, or serving the interests of, the (((globalists))) by evangelizing a corrupted, subversive, twisted version of “Christianity” that is designed to manipulate and guilt-trip and gaslight the Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Vietnamese, Koreans, etc into believing that the “christian god” demands that they open their borders and commit racial suicide, then that is an issue that should be exposed.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the overwhelming tendency of western “Christian” influencers to blend Christianity with cultural marxism, is not only caused by the lust of these “Christian” influencers for (((earthly approval))), but also because these “Christian” influencers are being (((PAID))) to corrupt Christianity and marry Christianity to anti-White cultural marxism, and try to brainwash Christians into believing that “god hates racism” and “god demands race-mixing” and a bunch of other destructive cultural marxist LIES.
Real Christians who are faithful to Jesus Christ and His Gospel and His Great Commission must NOT allow Christianity to be corrupted, perverted, twisted, and used as a tool to destroy civilization, by paid globalist agents masquerading as “Christian missionaries.”
Reminds me of the Catholic triglott Bible that put the Latin Vulgate in the middle between the Hebrew and the Septuagint and said that it was Jesus between the two thieves.
