Hello Friends!
Welcome back. Popular evangelical Pastor Tim Keller is thought of as being very conservative. However, a columnist that attended his church for nearly 20 years has written a review of Keller's book, Generous Justice and says that Keller is embracing social justice…
Generous Justice
Pastor Tim Keller also wrote a pro-theistic evolution paper for the liberal Biologos Foundation. Keller promotes social justice, theistic evolution, and mysticism. Yet, because Keller has written books and preaches sermons defending essential Christian doctrines, many evangelicals may well be lured into these dangerous and unbiblical philosophies.
Terry Mortenson, M.Div., Ph.D. with the Christian organization Answers in Genesis reviewed the pro-evolution article written by Pastor Tim Keller for the radically liberal BioLogos Foundation. In the article, Dr. Terry details how Keller takes Scripture out of context, reads things into the text, misunderstands the different kinds of sciences, and undermines the authority of Scripture.
On that same note, here is a new article by Al Mohler on how two BioLogos authors have thrown the Bible under the Bus: http://www.albertmohler.com/2011/04/19/throwing-the-bible-under-the-bus/
Jan Johnson, writer, speaker and “spiritual director” is teaching Lectio Divina meditation at Keller’s Redeemer Church and on Keller’s church website. Johnson also promotes mystic Richard Foster and Catholic mystic Ignatius Loyola on Keller’s church website.
With the points outlined above, I contend that Pastor Tim Keller may actually be more dangerous to true Christians than someone like Pastor Tony Campolo of the Emergent Church because many conservative evangelicals will reject the worldview of Campolo but embrace the worldview of Keller because of his theological resume.
In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us to beware of the many false prophets that would come into the world to deceive and be deceived. We must take heed to His warning lest we be deceived and mislead by these wolves in sheep's clothing.
