Dietrich Bonhoeffer noticed the globalists were co-opting the liberal American churches in 1930. Today however, it is both the liberal and "conservative" denominations and Christian leaders that are being co-opted by the globalist.
What is happening within American Churches and denominations is not new. Bonhoeffer writes, "In New York they preach about virtually everything, only one thing is not addressed, or is addressed so rarely that I have yet been unable to hear it, namely, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the cross, sin, and forgiveness, death and life."
Eric Metaxas, in his excellent book, Bonhoeffer writes, "Seeing an opportunity to knock out fundamentalism in New York, the Rockefeller Foundation promptly funded the construction of a church for Fosdick [a liberal pastor], one that would serve as a proper platform for his 'progressive' modernist views."
The progressives for years have sought to co-op Christianity for their own political, progressive agenda. The Rockefellers help to establish the United Nations and sadly we have discovered that the Southern Baptists' Ethics, Religion and Liberty Commission, headed by Richard Land, is a United Nations, Non-governmental Organization. We confirmed this fact with a phone call to the Washington D.C. office of the ERLC and through this January 30, 2007, United Nations press release. America's largest; protestant denomination is aligned with the godless United Nations.
We confirmed, from the United Nations website that in order to be an NGO an organization must "support and respect the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." Land is also a member of the globalist organization, the Council on Foreign Relations and now we have confirmed that the SBC's ERLC is a UN-NGO. Are we to believe that SBC leaders "support and respect the principles of the Charter of the United Nations" which includes the quest for world government? If so, I, and many others may need to resign our church membership in SBC churches. If that is not the case, and I do not think it is, then something must change and change fast and until it does, I would make sure 100% of your contributions to your SBC church are staying local and not going back to the SBC cooperative program.
The story is really the same as what Bonhoeffer saw in America in 1930; globalists and progressives seeking to use the church to give themselves credibility while they push their anti-Biblical worldview.
