Exclusive: Former Hillary Clinton Aide Launches New Progressive Faith Group

This is one of those "fake religions" ex-KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov warned us that the Liberals (Marxists) would create in attempt to lead people away from true Christianity. This is an attempt to use Bible verses to condone Marxism. It certainly doesn't surprise me that he's a former Clinton aide. That's right up her alley.

Dominic of CA is right...the Matthew verse is twisted. Check the AVN website to see the other ways the AVN tries to hide their true motives behind the facade of Christianity. I am sick of it. We Democrats have left our values, and the heart of our party, and gone after the false promise dangled in front of us by the culture war declared by the post-WWII Frankfurt School Marxists. Those clever fellows knew very well that they would have to cut the legs out from under the family, Christianity, and plain-old, everyday, normal economics. That is the recipe for Marx' vision to be realized. They could care less about the Democrats or the Bible. The dem party is no longer for the little guy - sorry he got aborted. I quit being heavily involved in the Democratic party when it dawned on me how false everyone was - happy to have recruited the Christian church-attender they were gonna nominate for mayor, governor, or president, and at the same time talking bad about Christianity with every other breath. I know what the Bible says about all of this, and I don't need a website guide to tell me. I don't need any church, pop figure, etc. Just buy yourself a Bible and start reading.

(make America a shining beacon of hope and freedom around the world.")
Someone might want to tell Hillary her shining beacon of hope and freedom is exactly what the coast guard has been looking for all week off our coast in Florida.
Off the Cuff remarks on "rethinking Haitian policy" is what got these people killed. Hillary wanted to create jobs? We now have a bustling smuggling operation and employment fishing drowned bodies out of the ocean..

I have to say that I don't think anyone who has commented so far paid any attention to what was being said in the article. I'm also totally confused about how the Bible was misquoted here. Basically Matthew says you cannot serve both God and money and to shore up your treasures in heaven and not on earth. So, how exactly was the article misleading here? Maybe you guys are the ones with agendas that have been preached to you that are way off base. I'm pretty sure Jesus would not condemn someone for caring about the poor and wanting to better the lives of the least in society. Particularly at a time when there is an increasing gap between the wealthy and the poor in society. Let's not forget that Jesus gained a following during a time when the Jews were suffering under oppression. I'm certainly no Marxist, nor is anyone currently in the US government. Anyone who says otherwise is either delusional or speaking in hyperbole. But a purely capitalist society isn't good either. And please realize we already have strong elements of socialism inherent in our society. Also, the people who are saying that America will fail because we are godless are completely off their rocker. If America fails it will be due to a variety of reasons, but I don't think that is one of them. We are one of the most religious industrialized societies on earth. Also, societies that are extremely secular and even have strong atheistic or agnostic tendencies, tend to be doing rather well. The most agnostic have some of the lowest incidences of violence and some of the strongest social cohesion of any place on earth. So maybe if we worked on taking care of one another, um, kinda like this guy Jesus talked about, then our country might do better. Stop worrying about competing and yelling at people because they want to like their lives different from yours.
Also, way to cast the first stone guys. Strider is a former missionary who spent several years in China teaching people English. How many of you have actually dedicated that much of your life and time to that type of service. Calling out someone's faith when you have no knowledge of their life or their beliefs is the epitome of un-Christian behavior.

The quote from Matthew 6:20 is incorrect. That verse says nothing of giving to the poor. These "progressive Christians" work to deceive. They do not care if they are caught. They simply are counting on deceiving those that have not, like the Bereans, "searched the scriptures daily, [to see] whether those things [preached] were so." SEE www.TheBereanCall.org

Joel, you are a wise man.

Your are right about the free-will - but that "gift" you say we have also means that each and every one of us are accountable for what we do in our body. We have also have been ordered by God in scripture to "warn" people about the sins they commit. It is not only given to clergy but also to individual believers. If you are not a Christian - fine - you may feel you are exempt from this injunction to warn the "sinner of the error of his ways". As a Christian - I believe I have that responsibility and will carry it out. I believe this responsibility is verbal and should be through intellectual persuasion. It can be verbally strong and confrontational, but non-violent physically.
The problem is that most Americans cannot stand hard "preaching" because they are either living with a guilty conscience and cannot stand to hear moral absolutes or they are part of a victims mentality. Most Americans are painfully insecure and neurotic from Public School, depression medication, and indulgent up-bringing. These people in this article promoting a social gospel and Marxism are phonies. The response to this statement from most is -"you are being hateful". What I am looking at is a country that is going to be subjugated by foreign enemies not because they are better than us, but because we have forgotten God. And He has forgotten us. "The wicked shall be turned into hell (sent to) and ALL nations that have forgotten God.

These are just Marxists justifying Marxism by taking verses out of context or misquoting them. Suffice it to say, Jesus believed in generosity of the Rich and preached about it, it was always VOLUNTARY - unlike the forced redistribution espoused by these phony baloney individuals who are actually Marxists pretending to be Christians. Try quoting Jesus when he preached 13 times more about the existence of a burning hell than any other subject. If you want to start quoting Jesus Christ, let's quote Him completely.
The question is where are these phonies going to spend eternity. That was the whole point of the discussions against wealth - it was priority. See ye first the Kingdom of God -and all these things shall be added unto you-context of Food, clothing, and shelter. The issue where MAN was to spend eternity, not the size of his wallet. But these Marxists simply want power and they will shamelessly "whore" themselves to any belief. I have no doubt that these people are not Christian - because Jesus also said "by their fruits ye shall know them" I am not judging them, God will judge them- I am identify them for what they are.

No matter how many different names people make up for a preborn baby it's still a baby. It's not an organ, a woman’s body, a choice, a fetus, a blob of tissue, IT IS A LIVING HUMAN PREBORN CHILD. So many women are mentally screwed up because of aborting their children. Millions of them are on dangerous medication for depression because they can't cope with life after words. In this country alone abortion kills over a million babies a year. Only a few hundred at the most are due to rape or incest. Thanks to our pollitions and courts any man can take a under age girl even as young as 11 or 12 that they raped into any abortion clinic and abort the unborn child and dispose of the evidence. Believe it because it happens more than you know. The rest of over a million abortions a year are done for the convenience of birth control while couples wait years to adopt children or go to other countries to adopt.
Now some may think that the elite and the government since ROE v WADE care about women and their reproductive rights. (WRONG) The only thing they care about is where their next contribution comes from and how they can become more wealthy off of tax payers money. (AND) Billions of it has come from the abortion industry. By using the play to pay program they give the abortion industry our tax dollars in return to control the population through abortion and convincing people it's their right to choose.
If you want to see what a blob of tissue looks like, you can go to you tube and type in abortion videos and see the hundreds of would be healthy but dead aborted babies stuffed in five gallon buckets waiting to be taken out like trash. If anyone can look at that and still say abortion is a women’s reproductive right is sick in the head.
I believe that God will judge this country soon and it won’t be a pretty sight. We all have an appointment in front of the Judgment Throne of Christ to give an account for our lives. WHAT WILL YOU SAY TO HIM?
