The Rev. Sharon Watkins, president of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), worried that some may interpret the statement as undermining U.S. troops in Iraq.Really? Opposing the war would be seen as undermining U.S. Troops? What would give this Reverend that idea? (sarcasm)
"Hurricane Katrina revealed to the world those left behind in our own nation by the rupture of our social contract," said the statement.
I think these liberal churches and ministers need to realize that liberal Christianity has nothing of substance to offer the world. Simply preaching a gospel of subsidizing the poor doesn't address the issues that men need to deal with. The Gospel is not merely dealing with societal blues. The Gospel must deal with the heart of man. Preaching a Jesus that is only spiritually alive in our collective memory is a false Gospel and a false hope.
Liberalism has failed Katrina victims, not American ideals. If liberalism is so great and the true answer, Louisiana should have been a panacea, since it was run by liberals for the last 40 years or more.
The truth is this country is at war. I have said it before, and I guess I need to say it again. Liberalism and Christian liberalism can NOT withstand Islam in any form (radical or otherwise). Only the Biblical Gospel can deal with man's sin and as a result, society's problems. Without the Trinitarian/Christian Biblical worldview as the foundation for government, the World Council of Churches would cease to exist under persecution or worse yet, become even farther left-wing liberal.
I realize that for many, the Liberalism of the WCC is well known. The fact that they are called Christians while denying many essentials of the Historic Christian faith is indeed troubling. The media will simply refer to them as Christians, and many conservatives may be fooled as we have seen already.
