"Demands" greater allegiance than a dictator?
Jesus is not a dictator, nor should he be compared as to one.
Jesus is not a tyrant taskmaster
DEMANDING anything of you.
(Satan , on the other hand, is demanding and he hate's God's Word.)
By the way, just how much allegiance "dare" a dictator ask anyhow?
Do you know any dictators who have the scruples to be careful
as to how much allegiance they "ask" of you
or rather, how much they demand?
"Fake Christianity is just a bunch of words, REAL Christianity is love in action."
Tweeted by Rick Warren, January 2012
"Just" a bunch of words?
A Christianity that preaches words... reads words and believes God's Word,
might seem like "nothing but a big mouth" to some people,
but Jesus told Satan, "Man does not live on bread alone."
Must have been a reason for that.
As as for action...
Love in action is best displayed and seen in Jesus,
His love in action,
dying on the cross,
forgiving,
and raising from the dead
according to the very word
and promise of our God.
"The glory of God is a human being fully alive!"

Is this tweet intended to promote some kind of radical
Christian humanistic thinking, or faith in the person of Jesus Christ?
One can only assume or guess.
Ireaneas, bishop of Lyons,
taught about Jesus and Christian doctrine
from the writing of the apostles
available to him in his day.
Why is Rick even tweeting this "quote" of Iraneuas?
"Pain is the mother of change."
Tweeted by Rick Warren, January 2012
Some people embrace that teaching, but...
God does not change, like shifting shadows.
No. he is the same, yesterday today and forever.
Pain didn't change Jesus as he hungered in the wilderness for 40 days
or when he died and ugly death on Calvary's cross.
We have also seen Christian martyrs,
refusing to "change" what they believe about God..
under the influence of pain....
tortured for their faith in Christ,
dipped in oil,
sawed in two,
beheaded...
not for a crime of sin, but simply for their faith in Jesus.
Many were killed by men, who thought
they were doing humanity (or "God") a favor,
doing something "good,"
believing too the notion that
pain....would be the mother of change.
They were evidently wrong.
"You get God's power IN your life by surrendering to God's purpose FOR your life."
Tweeted by Rick Warren, January 2012
I would appear that Rick Warren,
the prince of "purpose," wants YOU to surrender
your life to God's purpose,
All five of them as defined, explained, outlined,
by Pastor Rick,
who knows all about the stuff...
Then you will get "power."
Let's look at Luke, Chapter 4 where JEsus was being tempted for forty days in the wilderness... and where Jesus God his power.
And the devil said unto him, "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine."
And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
