Tim Keller and his Liberalism that is masquerading as evangelicalism. (Part Two) Topic: Your eschatology (end-time view) drives your theology as well as your ecclesiology (your view as to the calling of the church). Topic: Hear audio clips of Tim Keller declaring that it is the calling of the church to end poverty. Why is this not true? Topic: Keller quotes Old Testament scripture to make his case but the context is the theocracy of Israel and not the New Testament church. What is the difference between the calling of Israel in the Old Testament and the calling of the Church in the New Testament? Topic: Keller lectures those that own a store in a poor neighborhood and make money off the poor but don’t live in the poor neighborhood. Does Keller not realize that it is the businessman that has a business in the poor neighborhood that is putting his capital at risk to offer a service to the poor? It seems as though Tim Keller is promoting class warfare and envy. Would Keller prefer that the poor have to drive 20 miles to the suburbs to buy a gallon of milk and a bag of bread? Topic: Keller then declares that the world throws away the poor. That is not true. In fact, at the time this program is being broadcast in 2015, almost 50% of Americans are on some kind of entitlement program. In reality it is a very small percentage of Americans that actually work hard every day and pay taxes so many people that are not working can have free healthcare, food, housing, clothes, and an Obama cell phone. How then are Americans throwing away the poor? Why does Keller seem determined to promote the economic philosophy of Karl Marx yet call himself a pastor or evangelical? Topic: We take your calls.
