I understand that rick is fighting for unity in the world and boy do we need it today. There is so much hatred and murder between muslims and non-muslims and other races.
Man cannot bring about world peace by his own means. He has been trying since day 1 and failed.We can talk until the cows come home, it won't work. There is only ONE way.
God's word is the final authority and Jesus is the WAY TRUTH and LIFE. If every nation were to bend the knee to our Holy Father through faith in His perfect Sinless Son Jesus, and then Obey the Word of God COMPLETELY, then peace would reign. But man wants to do it his way and man fails.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace and only through obedience to His word will peace reign.

Rick's motives are good but his methods are wrong. He adds to the scripture and takes away from it and people love to have their ears tickled and search for hope in a desperate world. There is NO hope without Christ and repentance (Turning away from sin). Lets do it God's way

sarMack09,
Are you sure you posted your comment on the right page? I don't understand how what you wrote has anything to do with what this article says. No one who's mentioned here condemned or spoke out against anyone else's religion.

Are you saying that American Christians SHOULDN'T address global injustices like poverty and war?
......

What I think about the article... It was a little too brief to really get into much of what Pastor Warren actually said, so I guess I'll go look it up on CNN instead.
And which critics blasted him for what? ...or were they blasting those who invited him? "Critics blasted Warren's appearance." They didn't like his shirt? He forgot to comb his hair? what. But I'm glad that he seems to have received a positive response from the crowd.

The biggest question that comes to my mind is, "how can anyone connected to a mankind christian church in the United States have the nerve to condemn or speak out against any other religion?" The Christian Church does not exist in a building in this country. The mankind christian churches are just big business. They use the title and produce fruit that is a facad, but dying on the inside. How has this world improved under the mankind christian church? There is no evidence to reflect improvement. Providing earthly food does not Save the world...
Start your improvements at home, then... MAYBE... God will allow you to help others in the world Spiritually. This country DESPERATELY needs Spirituality and it will never come from the mankind christian church or its current leaders.
