[Faith-talk] Rick Warren Books

[Joshua Lester]

He, and Joel Ostine both went on Larry King Live, and said that Jesus
was one of many ways to Heaven.
That's pathetic!
Warren also wants us to replace the words, "saved," and "lost," with
"churched," and "unchurched."
To him, church membership alone is what saves us!
That's also pathetic, because church membership doesn't save anyone,
it's the blood of Jesus, which BTW, Warren doesn't want us to mention
either.
No cross, no blood, no Gospel!
The Bible says, "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission
of sin," none!
Blessings, Joshua
