"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their
conscience seared with a hot iron." (1Timothy 4:1-2)
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
STRANGE CARTER-CLINTON ALLIANCE
FOR A NEW BAPTIST MOVEMENT
Former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have joined forces
to call for a new broadly inclusive movement that will counter the
"negative image" of Baptists and address social issues such as
poverty, the environment, global conflicts, and AIDS.
About 80 Baptist leaders representing 40 Baptist organizations joined
Carter and Clinton at the Carter Center in Atlanta for the January 9
announcement ("Former Presidents Carter & Clinton," Baptist
Press, Jan. 10, 2007). These included representatives of the
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the American Baptist Convention, the
National Baptist Convention, Mercer University, and other liberal groups
and institutions. They announced plans for a "Celebration of a New
Baptist Covenant" to be held in Atlanta at the end of January 2008.
Carter called the recent gathering and announcement "a historic
event," and we agree. It was a historic moment in the fulfillment of
the Bible's prophecy about end-times apostasy.
Bill Clinton, a serial liar who prevaricated boldly to the entire
nation on public television ("I never had sex with that woman")
and was caught lying under oath and has trouble defining something as
simple as the word "is," said his goal is to be the new
movement's "cheerleader." The "New Baptist Covenant"
will be very interesting indeed. Since Bill Clinton is involved it
will include support for homosexual rights and the murder of unborn
children under the guise of "legalized abortion" and the
acceptance of voodoo as the working of the Lord (in his autobiography
"My Life" Clinton described a visit to a voodoo ceremony in
Haiti as the "Lord working in mysterious ways").
And since Jimmy Carter is heading up the new movement it will include
support for evolution (in 2004 Carter fought successfully to keep
"evolution" in Georgia public school textbooks), the acceptance
of Mormons as Christians (in 1997 he said Mormons should not be
evangelized), the celebrating of liberal theologians who deny the Bible's
infallibility and Christ's virgin birth (he has said that his favorite
theologians are Karl Barth and Bart Brunner), and the rejection of a
strict Bible doctrine stance (speaking at the 2000 CBF convention he
called for an alliance that will "reject creedalism"). Historic
indeed.
"Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
of the prophecy of this book" (Revelation 22:7).
