These would be issues like abortion and life related matters, gay marriage, family issues, the proliferation of the pornography industry, and the drive to remove God from the public square. Those in the "religious left" actually take an anti-Biblical position on these issues  

SAID WHO? BILL KELLER??? IS KELLER REALLY SAYING THAT EVERYONE WHO FANCIES THEMSELVES A CHRISTIAN BUT DOESN’T KOW-TOW TO THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS PRO-PORNOGRAPHY??? THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY ANTI-FAMILY??? WHERE IS YOUR PROOF KELLER??? YOU ARE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE A FALSE PROPHET NOW. 

and are also heavily involved in the ecumenical movement, environmental issues, opposing war for any reason, world hunger, and social issues like healthcare, welfare, andeducation. 

WHAT??? SO PEOPLE WHO ARE CHRISTIANS BUT VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE ARE ALL WORKING TOWARD A ONE WORLD RELIGION TOO??? ARE YOU MAKING THIS UP AS YOU GO ALONG??? I MIGHT ADD, LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ITEMS THE CHRISTIAN KELLER IS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST: 1)      ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES – THIS PLANET IS BEING DESTROYED BY GREEDY CORPORATIONS AND POLITICIANS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE ON THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT, SUCH AS OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT. IS KELLER SUGGESTING IT IS A BAD THING TO CARE ABOUT GOD’S CREATION?2)      OPPOSING WAR FOR ANY REASON – IS KELLER SUGGESTING THAT THE PRINCE OF PEACE IS PRO-WAR? HAS HE FORGOTTEN THE BEATITUDES? BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS BILL, THE PEACEMAKERS. IN FACT, THERE IS NOT ONE PRO-WAR VERSE IN THE ENTIRE NEW TESTAMENT (REVELATION BEING PROPHETIC).3)      WORLD HUNGER – IS KELLER SUGGESTING IT IS NOT CHRISTIAN TO CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH WORLD HUNGER???4)      HEALTHCARE, WELFARE, EDUCATION – SO ACCORDING TO KELLER IT IS A BAD THING TO HELP THE DOWNTRODDEN AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE TAKEN CARE OF. FORTUANTELY THERE ARE OVER 300 VERSES IN THE BIBLE WHICH DISAGREE WITH HIM.  

Interesting that B. Hussein Obama's first bill as a United States Senator was a world hunger relief bill that they are trying to ramrod through as we speak.  This would force the United States to pay apx. $900 billion MORE than we already spend on world hunger.  While we have to do our best to feed the hungry, I guess Obama never read where Jesus said, "The poor you will have with you always." 

THIS IS THE SECOND MISUSE OF SCRIPTURE. THE SCRIPTURE KELLER IS REFERRING TO IS MARK 14:7, WHERE JESUS REBUKES THOSE CRITICIZING THE WOMAN WHO ANNOINTED HIM WITH PURE NARD FROM THE ALABASTER JAR. THE POINT JESUS WAS MAKING IS THAT THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO WERE BEING CRITICAL WERE NOT PURE. THEY DID NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE POOR, THEY WERE USING THEM AS AN EXCUSE. JESUS WAS MERELY SAYING THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS HELP THE POOR, BUT THAT HE WAS ONLY THERE FOR A SHORT TIME. BILL KELLER HAS NOW TWISTED THE WORDS OF JESUS HIMSELF TO EXCUSE NOT TRYING TO FEED THE POOR!!! HE IS ACTUALLY CRITICAL OF OBAMA’S EFFORTS TO STOP WORLD HUNGER AND WHAT IS HIS BIG CRITICISM, MONEY! I GUESS BILL NEVER READ WHERE JESUS SAID: “YOU CANNOT LOVE TWO MASTERS” 

There is nothing wrong with pursuing these noble social issues; believers should be more involved on those fronts. The problem with this group is their anti-Biblical position on the key spiritual issues of our day and their involvement in these ecumenical movements that require you to set aside the Absolute Truths of the Bible.   

ABSOLUTE LIE, ABSOLUTELY DEBUNKED ALREADY.  

However, they support the legalized slaughter of babies, redefining marriage to include men with men and women with women, perverting the family by brining children into homes with homosexual parents, and embrace ecumenical fellowships with all of the cults and false religions of the world. They deny the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, have rejected God's Word for the Absolute Truth it represents, and have bought into the lie of the world that there are "many roads that lead to God." These are the people who make up the "religious left!" 

YOU MEAN LIKE WHEN JOEL OSTEEN SAID THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GOD ON THE LARRY KIND SHOW AND HAD TO APOLOGIZE TO HIS CONGREGATION OVER IT BILL? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THIS CHARACTER ASSASINATION. BILL KELLER HAS OFFERED NO PROOF THAT OBAMA IS PART OF THIS RELIGIOUS LEFT, OR THAT THEY TRULY BELIEVE IN ECUMENICALISM. HE LUMPS A LOT OF RHETORIC THAT WILL FEEL GOOD TO SOME CHRISTIANS AND THEN LAYS IT ALL AT THE FEET OF OBAMA, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NOT PRESENTED ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT ACTUALLY LINKS HIM TO IT. ONCE AGAIN, VILE. 

B. Hussein Obama's church is the liberal Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, pastored by the racist Dr. Jeremiah Wright.  Wright preaches a message of black separatism and is a racist in every sense of the word.   

SAYS WHO, THE BIGOT BILL KELLER? HERE IS THE WIKIPEDIA LINK: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Wright 

IN IT YOU CAN SEE THAT WHILE SOME CRITICS HAVE THE OPINION THAT HIS THEOLOGY IS SEPERATIST BY NATURE, HE HAS REPUDIATED THAT NOTION.  

The UCC is one of the most liberal denominations there is.  They ordain practicing homosexuals, support slaughtering babies, and preach the social Gospel of the religious left, having abandoned the inspiration of the Word and preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.   

I AGREE, WE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR JEREMIAH WRIGHT, OF COURSE HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. IF BILL KELLER WANTS TO PLAY GUILT BY ASSOCIATION, LETS TAKE A LOOK AT WHO JUST ENDORSED JOHN MCCAIN:

Couple of points

First, sorry about the CAPS. I use them solely to differentiate between my comments and Bill Keller's. When i use !!! or ??? that is where i denote my disbelief or upset.

Secondly, sorry it is six pages long but this alleged devotional by Keller was 6 pages long and emailed to probably hundreds of thousands of people. It was important to respond paragraph by paragraph.

Thanks.

ScottMail carrier who drives the rest of my colleagues nuts with my politics.

For once, I agree

I don't support hardly any of Barack Obama's positions; however, I will always speak out against people who pull what Bill Keller is pulling here. This is a despicable smear. More to the point: I refuse to endorse the notion of somebody not being a true Christian simply because he is a liberal, or because he is a conservative, or anything else about someone's political policies. Few things frost me more than this.

Bill Keller AND His Devotional

Bill Keller, in Biblical terms, is a blasphemer. And in Christian circles, that "ain't" good. In fact, The New Testament (Dispensation,) blaspheming is an unforgivable sin, unlike abortion, and ... a sure "free pass to hell." So, in literal terms, you can asure Bill, that he's going to hell! Not bad for a devotional, I would say. A bit hot, ... maybe!

Thanks for notifying me about this. If I don't have it already, ... I'll get it.

The real point of this

is that we are a diverse group and, as such, there are extremists on both ends. Damn few believe this stuff, and even fewer of those actualy vote I'd surmise.

Reports of such as this will multiply as the campaign continues but exactly how many votes will be changed by tactics as these is quite probably very few indeed. Web sites like WorldNetDaily and Freerepublic.com are not exactly inhabited by open minded folks and their opinions and distortions should be ignored or, if they ever find their way into mainstream media,  challenged.

By reporting on crackpots and kooks one may set up his favored candidate as a martyr worthy of your sympathy vote. I'll pass on stuff like that and continue to vote based upon how closely the candidate mirrors my own vision for this nation.

well

You do that. i do what is right. If they had unfairly attacked McCain i would stand up for him. WND has already run this. That is the point. Now there is a place on the Net that people can easily link to debunk this tripe every time it comes up, gets published, or emailed.

Be well.

Thanks

I am so very, very tired of these hate mongers spewing their demands upon us all.  No, I do not 'tune in' to any of their broadcasts, nor do I receive any of their various mailings.  I just do not want to hear any of their lies.  All they are interested in is the amount of money their collect from their 'followers'.    I also have nothing against anyone who believes in whatever religion or non-religion that fits their needs.  What I am having a real problem with is the fact that we are supposed to believe that only a 'christian' (whatever that means) is okay to have in our government.  This has happened so insidiously in this country and it is scary as hell.  I don't care of someone worships a stone in the river, can this person be trusted to carry out protecting and honoring the Constitution of this country!  When did that become last on the list.

Our Current President?

Anthony:

Interesting article. It is hard to read all caps without feeling like someone is shouting at me, but I understand why you wrote this way. However, unfortunately, caps or not, Bill Clinton is not our current president as you stated on pg. 1. 

Best,

sensei

The articles reflect additional thoughts that expand on the author's ten volumes Genesis Begins the Millennia. The work begins in 1995 with a fictional account of ordinary Israelis absorbed with everyday events. There are extraordinary happenings the characters gradually recognize as portents of the Messianic Age. Volumes four and five show why the Messiah decided to delay His arrival.
Volumes six through ten [Tradebombers] begin six weeks before the 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy. Again,...

Fast Track to Hell

In my persuasion Bush, Keller and McCain would suffer a minimum million years in hell on torture, murder and genocide charges. Just for his Waco exploits Clinton could do similar time. The sentence for adultry is one year each count.

I am not sure if these punishments hold for Christians.

When I get to hell I'll send you a post on the subject.
