Certainly helping those in need, is the life work of everyone. TPTB do not practice this principle and they are responsible for the poverty, war, much disease and the poor development of people. Our world is a dichotomy. Societies can be judged on how they deal with the helpless. Why then, do TPTB control the planet, in such a cruel and selfish and manipulative way? The answer is; they want rules for us and different rules for them. We feel compassion, we have a conscience and they don't.
Tony is the consummate story teller - in good company with Jesus Christ. The problem is we denigrate the Christians who are struggling with how to live in this pluralistic, post modern, consumerist, society. The best Christians fail at living the normal Christian life. If we judge Jesus and the church based on the worst examples of Christian living then we are judging and Jesus said "Judge not that you be not judged."
Tony is says our treatment of the poor is the standard - this is only one.
Love, love, love Tony Campolo. He consistently preaches a message of tolerance. I first saw him in the 80's, and have always been impressed with his theology.
I seen Tony at a Christian festival in 1990 in the Uk "Greenbelt " .He went on and on in his preaching about a man who bathed a man who had a hunch on his back .And how horrible it was for the man to bath him etc . I wonder did he notice as the crowd stood to leave after his talk , the man with a hunch back in the audience ?
I hope he has been more careful in the years that followed .
yeah Tony Bono also sings shoot the Beor! Great role model!! Tony is his own beast. He is not a christian by biblical standards. He denies the authority of the Bible He approves of evil and confuses the masses with a false gospel of feeding the poor that gets you to heaven. He may be a big hit in the white house or the tv networks but to all true christians, hes an apostate whom we do well to avoid.
@clay56 Compo and Luther, black and white, darkness and light compromise and conviction. Recanter and reformer. destroyer of the church , builder of the church. Unholy and Holy. Apostate and true christian. Luther were he arouind today would denounce Compolo more that John Tetzel!
Please do not dare to compare a brilliant man to a things of this world loving ambassador of heresy. Compolo will one day pay for his heresy , today all Christians should just give him a wide birth and expose him.
"Luther were he arouind today would denounce Compolo more that John Tetzel!"
The thing that Luther and Compolo have in common is that they're both denounced in their OWN time. And Compolo is being denounced NOT for any nonconventional beliefs as Luther and Paul had, but merely for being tolerant towards others with such beliefs.
Although Tony Campolo believes homosexuals are called to lives of celebacy, he is admirably tolerant and understanding towards those who believe gay Christians can have intimate lives, one of whom happens to be his OWN wife.
I just heard it: when Tony took himself (like so many pastors/priests did) a title of Reverend - which is for God? When will they throw down their crowns before the throne of God? Will they introduce themselves as Reverend to the very God at the judgment day?
Beeeee humble, before being somebody.
A good man, yeah. But it's not enough to be fit for the Kingdom of God.
@kwonbbl actually, he was ordained by a church in west Philadelphia. I've met numerous leaders from his church that helped ordain the guy. Don't make up things.
Campolo is a fool! If you neglect what God says about sin, you neglect His word. A person must know about Salvation first and then the other things can be addressed. If you feed someone but don't show them the truth of repentance, you have shown them nothing.
While I agree with a few things this man said....did he really suggest that Jesus partied!?!?!? OMGSH....He is as far away from the truth as you can get!
@hlly530 I think he was using a metaphor to illustrate that Jesus hung out with people that no one else wanted to hang out with - a nice lesson for us to learn when we see people neglected or made fun of where we work or where we go to school.
actually..Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine and he was at a WEDDING. i'm sure they didn't mean the partying we do now a days. he was at a wedding and just enjoying himself. its not like he was dancing on people or something.
I blogged about this video with the following comments: Tony Campolo speaks on the poor in this 9 minute segment. I think he is spot on. Our politics too often focus on the things we can't agree on. Morality is about taking care of the poor. Jesus won't be looking at George's politics, piercings or party days to determine his eligibility in Heaven. To view on the blog site visit Mission Musings.
Tony made the statement that when we meet with the Lord he is going to ask one question - what die we do with the poor and opressed. Though I believe as the outcome of our faith or the fruit should involve reaching out to those in need like Jesu Said. In the red letters in thr bible Jesus also said that he was the way, truth and life. He also sais that who would believe in Him would have eternal life. John 3:16. In the same chapter, Jesus is talking with Nicodemus in about being born again.
The Bible CLEARLY urges governments to do justice to the poor. Churches are called to this, too. (Either-or scenarios don't serve us well!) But to leave government ignores blanket condemnation of Old Testament prophets and Jesus on kings, governments & societies for ignoring the poor. Ezekiel says Sodom was destroyed for disregarding the poor in her midst (16:49) And in Mt. 25, Jesus is judging NATIONS, not individuals. The greek word for nations in that text clearly refers to people groups.
@TheHour, While I don't doubt your good intentions, it is a great disservice to Tony to simply reference him as "Bill Clinton's spiritual adviser." Tony has done God's work in some of the most impoverished communities in the world and in our country. It is as simplistic as referring to Mother Teresa as "the pope's friend." Jesus says in heaven the last shall be first. Tony's spent a lot of time amongst the last.
@philleep777 Further, I would say that perhaps when Tony says the Bible is about helping the poor and oppressed that the definition of poverty and oppression is not limited to a material or spiritual interpretation but a combination of the two as is backed up by the above mentioned scriptures as well as the famous sheep and goats story in Matthew 25 that you had referenced in your comments.
@philleep777 The whole of the law is this, love God with your whole heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said that. If that's true, how could one possibly suggest that "whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren" could mean anything but how you treat your neighbor who who should love as much as yourself. This is underscored by the parable of the good Samaritan, the conversation with the rich young ruler and Luke 6:20-Blessed are you who are poor-for yours is the kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 11:20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent.
Mat 11:21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
It is amazing to finally here about a figure, who recognizes the spiritual and evangelical side of Christianity but also recognizes the values the left has to offer. I am way too often classed with the right for being a pentecostal or I have to be a liberal pro-choice anti-evangelical for being on the left. God bless Tony Campolo!
Jesus Sheep hear His voice and they follow him. No one can become anything but a copy cat by doing what Jesus did. You cannot earn favor by being like Jesus. However when a person is truly converted He becomes conformed to the image of Jesus, partakes in the divine nature and puts on the mind of christ. All this is accomplished by the power of God. Because you are a partaker in the divine nature you will act like Jesus because you are becoming him.
Wow! I was totally blown away by Tony's message. I never knew that the main message of Jesus was about helping the poor and socially challenged.. Is that why he came?
If I sponsor a child and join some community programs will I make it to heaven?
I was thinking that my good works were as filthy rags like the bible says, how wrong could I be?
As I was watching I remembered another bible verse that says that some would have a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away.
@philleep777 He isn't saying that good works get you into Heaven, he's saying that if you have Jesus in you, you will feel called into helping the poor and oppressed because of the Holy Spirit driving you to do so.
@mahaffe Greetings & thanks for the reply, however - did you listen to all that Tony said in this clip? "what the bible is really about - helping poor & oppressed people" What?? Listen to what he says again. He also twists scripture until it screams. "We will all be judged by how we treated the poor" What version of the bible is he quoting from. BTW Jesus actually said "in that you have treated the least of these MY BRETHREN" (other believers) that make a huge difference hey!!

Tony preaches that we aught to obey the words of Christ. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neightbor as yourself". Where is the heresy? Not preaching about Jesus? Why? Is there someone who hasnt already heard that Christ died for them. Is there a chance that someone might not know they are a sinner? Everyone has heard that message, usually from someone who was just a "sounding brass". We need more Tonys who can walk the talk.
I'm a Christian & find it insulting you would think all I am is person that loves. Campolo's interpretation of Jesus is WRONG - he's just telling you what you want to hear. Jesus died on the cross for your sins, that's right - SINS. Tell me, how is it possible to elevate yourself to the same level as the one who dies on the cross to save you from eternal death? I'm a sinner, and have been given God's Grace & I'm assured Salvation through Christ - which is the whole fricking point of the Bible.
The body of Christ can encourage change withing government systems to be more compassionate and to care for the poor and the sick. Stop making this a political issue. It is not. It is a moral one.
Yes, Jesus said that we are to serve the poor as an expression of our love for Christ and for his glory! BUT He never says do so through the government, He says that is for the body of Christ to do so.
@Thisiskeith1 Actually, God does hold government partially responsible for the care of the poor. Isaiah 10:1-2 states, "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless". It is a government's responsibility, as it is with the body of Christ, to help the poor and serve them.
Do you believe then that the government can't provide that? The country with the least government social safety net in the Western World(as well as one of the highest rates of Christianity) has one of the highest poverty rates as well. Is that something Jesus would be proud of?
@Thisiskeith1 yes, but government is a group of people. and to deny government the ability to help the poor, you deny PEOPLE the ability to do what god wants.
@Thisiskeith1 Possibly... I don't think Jesus mentions what we should or shouldn't do through government. However, the church is dropping the ball. So anyone who believes they are defending Christian lifestyle by saying the church should meet social need and not government should make special note that the church is not doing it generally. Finally, it was Christians that started the ball rolling of social responsibility in government.
Wow! I love that this was broadcast on national television!
Finally, a man who puts a positive face on what true Christianity is all about and what Christians, who are so frustrated with so many evangelists who stand around and arrogantly judge, feel...
Love your neighbor... that is what we are supposed to be all about!
True Christianity is love? Are you serious? Christianity IS Christ, not love & all the things that make you feel good. You can love your neighbour being a Muslim or a Buddist, it's not the defining nature of a Christian. If it were all about love then it would be a very shallow religion - thankfully I'm not the "true Christian", as you portray.
He is completely wrong-headed in this...first of all, Conservatives give FAR more to charity than do Liberals. That is confirmed again and again by every study/poll ever done. Second, the idea that democrats are somehow more caring because they want higher taxes and more government control is preposterous. By freeing hard-working people to prosper from their endeavours, jobs and wealth and opportunity are created for many others. By hindering this, everyone suffers and is brought down.
I am a Ashkenazi Jew My earlier response to your question about my "Jewishness" comes from the fact that we view our faith differently than Christians I am Jew by birth(religiously and nationally),you are Christian by choice(if in fact you are one)
I was raised to observe and practice most Laws and customs; most of which i still practice
From my understanding, you have to believe in a Jewish Messiah to get to heaven : ) I wonder who wrote that book : ) We are a brilliant people aren't we : )
Since I don't read your bible, I prob won't read Pauls letter to the Romans, so.... instead of being so vague, why don't you just say what you mean, especially considering it's Pauls longest letter.
First, You must have misunderstood me, I spoke very little about your faith, nor am I interested in your faith, since I am fully satisfied with mine. Secondly, my issue with Campolo is not his faith, but his biased views. He uses his views to politically hammer conservatives (albeit Christian or not) He does not hammer liberals the same way. So...keep your little book...end of discussion.
you know, i like tony. i also like the reformed camp. why can't we come together and become one? reformed, it is not compromise. liberals, it is not ignoring the poor. Christ calls us to be with the poor but with our convictions and the truth of the scripture always with us. we need balance, and i feel like everyone including myself is always saying either "forget truth, we need peace and justice!" or "repent or go to hell" and forget the poor. why can't we?
I like Campolo, but he clearly favors Democrats. He rarely speaks of the Republicans in a favorable way, like he does his friends in the Dem. party. Truth is Clinton used him as a pawn to appease the left and the right. Everyone knows Campolo says he is evangelical, while typically siding with the liberals. It was Clintons way to look like he was getting spiritual help during a difficult time, while at the same time lose as few and draw as many supporters. Campolo is often used this way.
luvemliam: there's plenty of apologists for Republicans who also claim to follow Jesus, already. The problem of course is their inferior biblical evidence to back up unbridled greed, ecological damage, or protracted warfare. But that's swallowing camels for you.
Oh so the Dems have biblical references to back up their unbridled greed? Because certainly you dont think its only the Rep who are filthy rich and greedy! Ecological Damage? Are you referring to this hoax of human caused global warming? Go ahead and strain your gnats, regardless, Campolo is a pawn in the hand of the Dems being used to further a political agenda!
luve: hee hee, attributing to Dems what the more-capitalist Repub's have (unbridled greed). Not gonna fly with someone who knows the difference in ideologies (though I grant that corruption is corruption in any party).
I'd urge you to actually READ the Bible you think defends empire, environmental destruction, revenge, and Capitalism.
And yeah, I side with REAL SCIENCE that global warming is real. But even if it weren't, what does God say about creation care? Destruction...or stewardship?
No doubt that Repubs are philosophically pro capitalism, and historically there is no other form of govt or financial system where individuals efforts, ambitions and gifts are more rewarded. So capitalism is not a dirty word to me. I find it interesting how dems want everyone to live at a certain level except for the leaders and they want to live like kings! Take the insurance isue for example! No volunteers there to go on the plan they are shoving down our throats.
And, as far as "your" science of man made global warming, the data is not even worth wiping ones self with. Its just another way the dems get power and money! THEIVES! Every repub agrees that we have a responsibility for enviro. stewardship. The "real science" as you call it, is propitiated primarily by the dems. "Greed is Greed, and the Dems are getting rich off global warming propaganda, jet setting around the world spewing their hypocritical message, its criminal!
luve: here's the difference. My side has climatologists in consensus. Professionals who'd life is studying the science.
Your side has ideologues, and bought "researchers" saying what their polluter employers want them to say. Not even in the same ball park, scientifically.
Your side is being dishonest about it's intentions. Mine is acting on preponderance of evidence.
Linking Dems to every imaginable evil isn't thinking clearly AT ALL. Did a Dem beat you up when you were a kid??!?!!
Whatever, the point was that Campolo is clearly one sided. Keep patting yourself on the back for your smugg comments and half truths. Your not as smart as you think. Trusts me, I've never had my ass kicked by a dem, and it surely won't start with you. But if you would like to give it a shot, I live in Maryland and very willing to drive to DC.
luve: HA HA HA - aaand here we go with you turning this into a challenge to your manhood. Funny how quickly you types get so threatened in your manhood. Really makes me wonder how much of you is bluster and bravado, under a deeper seated terror of the world and (gasp) progress.
Relax. no one is challenging your manhood. I'm simply asking if there are emotional reasons for your non-rational linking of all things evil to Democrats.
and your not "linking" all the evils of the world to republicans? Plus, your the one who first mentioned a youthful atlercation. Didn't know if you had one in mind; again with your smuggness. Its also interesting that if any one on the conservative side said, "you types" we would be considered bigots or racists. There is no consistant logic in your thinking.
Luve: the links between the Bible and the Republicans is pretty well established. Don't work-don't eat; personal morality; family as core to society, etc. What got pushed by the wayside, biblically, were ideas that then conflicted with other parts of Republicanism, but aligned with Christianity: all humanity as your neighbor, care for the alien, sharing resources, creation care, etc.
I say you started the flame with disparaging real science...for political reasons.
Dems are for separation of church and state unless they get to use the Bible to support there plan for entitlements and global warming? Dems have "real" scientists and repubs lick their finger, stick it in the air and say there is no global warming? Your responses have consistantly been smugg, generalizations, and smart assed half truths attributing all evil to repubs and all good to dems. Who's little pageboy are you any way?
1. Separation doesn't have to exclude "faith based initiatives", a Bush-era invention (grrrr, LOL). But separation MUST mean no advocacy from gov. for one religion over another.
2. Climate: pretty much; Republicans are buying the faulty science hired by their polluting campaign contributors.
Re: smug? text doesn't convey intent. I think I've become more conciliatory as this convo. has proceeded. note above my comments on bible values the Rep. claim as SOLELY their own (hard work, etc.).
So who gets to choose which part of your Bible we include in our government?
Who decided that the poor are more important the the unborn? Especially when your Bible says the Jesus himself said "the poor will always be among you".
And, You haven't even mentioned the recent revelation from stolen emails that "real scientists" have been hiding facts that temps have been declining. Face it, if the truth doesn't line up with their "science" they will lose their big grants from the Dems.
We the voters get to decide which parts to include!!
Who's more important? ALL are important! All pre-born and even the POOR, POST BORN!! Yours stop at birth! Poor always among us? How about treating that as a call to always HELP the poor! That's not an excuse to ignore the poor!
Re: emails: its a sign of desperation when climate change deniers have to steal information, isn't it? Info shouldn't be repressed, of course, but a short term cooling doesn't disprove long term warming.
It wasn't only short term warming that was being concealed, but many important facts and data that would hurt their cause. And, it should have never been concealed, period. You accuse Repubs of dealing in "filthly lucre" yet wont admit when dems are in bed with "real" scientist.
Stealing information: lets see, lets talk about the (stolen) phone conversation between Newt and Boehner, and really don't have time to list a # of other underhanded schemes.
If a woman's choice is protected and is therefore allowed to kill an innocent child, then I should be protected and not made to buy some worthless governmental health care, or worse have to pay for someone elses! Free Choice right? I should not be made to live by your religious convictions! And, if the Dems think its so great, why don't they give up their own!
By the way many are poor by their own choosing. I feel absolutely no compulsion to help those who are looking for the monthly handout. Also your Bible is not primarily about the poor. Stop making it what it was never meant to be. As a Jew, even I know it is primarily about G-d's plan of salvation. Campolo constantly over states many biblical principles primarily because he is looking at it thru a contemporary political lense to manipulate. It can never mean what it never meant!
Luve: interesting that you're a Jew. Religiously? Ethnically? I ask b/c I've been catching some snippets in the law books about poverty and justice - allow the poor to glean the edges of harvested fields (don't harvest 100%). Eating food you pick yourself from someone elses property is allowed, but don't bring a basket (stealing). Even the OT 'angry god' (BS, btw) has allowances for the poor, and the wealthy have a responsibility TO the poor. And yeah, the poor still have to work 2 eat!
Christians are funny, you would ask a question like that: Religiously or Ethically : ) I am a Jew period, by blood. As you can see I am a conservative where as many are not.
Not harvesting the entire field relates to the ten percent (tithe). However what you are prob not familiar with is the fact that the Torah discourages giving more than 20% since it will usually negatively impact your own personal responsibilties. Also notice that the poor would go out and pick it for themselves!
without effort on their part, they would not eat! Not to mention that we are taught that we take care of the needy and poor in our own families first. The welfare system has destroyed families and ambition for years because it requires no "going out" and getting for yourself. Entitlments :?/
Back to Campolo, again he is spouting primarily from a American Christian Political lense and is exaggerating to make a point because he is in some way prospering from it.
that is not the message of the bible the message is Jesus salavtion Repentance how about responding to Jesus this is the socialist ...so called gospel Jesus
Mister Campolo, Matthew 25 the judgement-day is not for the cristians, they are judging with Jesus. And the U2 Bono IS NOT A CRISTIAN, but a great showman and egoist. That's the fact!!!
"15 Don't love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you cannot love the Father. 16 Our foolish pride comes from this world, and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything we see. None of this comes from the Father. 17 The world and the desires it causes are disappearing. But if we obey God, we will live forever." (I John 2:15-17).
We're all sinners and all guilty of many things. Thank God for forgiviness. If you believe you are the judge of whether he is or not and think you can call him out and bluntly say he's not a Christian then that's your issue. I guess I don't know him personally and don't know his heart, but he seems very passionate about Jesus and loving the least of these and he's definitely been used to bring lots of wisdom to my life personally.
We see all the fruit of this guy Bono & Cia. They love this world and help the devil in his dark work of blinding all the precious youth. If you don't can see that, you are NOT a true christian like bigmouth Bono ...
Peter: re: "love this world". I used to think that meant friendship with the sinner; now I see it means alliance with the power brokers of this world, that bring on human suffering through tainted systems (Pauls "Principalities"), plus the religious phonies that defend these principalities in the name of...well, maybe pragmatism.
The honest sinner is much more on Gods heart than either the dishonest pharisee OR the robber baron harming widows and orphans in the name of money.
Peterneuh: glad to see you use the Bible to disavow unbridled capitalism..... right? Is that what you're doing with that verse? Or are you blaming the poor and dirtbag at the bar...the one's Jesus would have hung out with..?
The ONLY description of judgement that Jesus gave was in Mathew 25 ( taking care of the poor, or the lack thereof???)
Can anyone say REDEFINing THE BIBIE???? THAT IS DANGEROUS. IT IS NOT LIMITD TO SOCIAL JUSTICE, IT IS ABOUT SAVING PEOPLES SOULS THAT ARE ETERNITY BOUND, HELLO???
You mention that the only time Jesus judges is Matthew 25. Campolo is simply taking that passage to heart by seeking to help the least of these. That is what is most important to God according to Jesus. In Matt. 25 Jesus didn't say anything about bringing religion to the poor but rather bringing what they need for this life: food, shelter, clothing, love. Also Campolo is an evangelist, he gives the 'lost' gospel and social justice. He doesn't compromise either.
CAMPPY.... is HIGH on himself. He thinks he's profound, and different. All these goof balls , along with Mclaren, think they have this NEW CHRISTIANITY, that Christians have MISSED all this time. They are placing themselve in a possitio n of a god. like, Now they have the ANSWERS.. Sadly, They use the BIBLE to FOGG the truth, They're standards are worldly," Jesus says come out from them be ye separate."Camp0loo is a "JOINER" a weak smart ass DEMON.
Yes, it is new Christianity called the Revelation 17 harlot church that brings the world and false gods into the narrrow road that makes it a broad way that leads to hell....
There are MORE of them than there are of Us.... Jesus said.. that this would be the case, The " Church" peoples that follow Jesus for real and LOVE his COMING, waiting for it with baited breath, will be RAPTURED , Many Christians( Laodecian) are about to get really dissapointed.
. He's too busy trying to change the secualar earth. It's Satan's world, Not G-d's.God created it. Satan is the PRINCE of it as JESUS QUOTED. Spirits of Satan's are roaming, this earth. The poor will always be with us. as Jesus quoted. Salvation is the focus.. Ask Jeus into your heart today, Repent -turn from old ways of sin. know your SAVED. Look for His RAPTURE, only those watching are going. Many Christians will be left behind, those who MOCK the rapture.
yep. And helping the poor is the only way to get to heaven, right? If we look at what the Bible says, though, it's all about trusting God, repenting and walking the narrow path. Feeding the poor is but one of the evidences that one has the faith, not the way to get it.
hey we are christians you know we dont care about bible detales,about homosexuality,abortion(child sacrifice),we like to be in favor of unbelievers rather than in favor of christians,hey its ok if i dont believe that maria was virgin(so what if bible says she was),im just going to help poors put the white band on my hand,and be cool,know nothing about Jesus,was he god or not ,holy or not,.Hey im not going to go in to those teol
whata,so child sacrifice homosexuality,adultery is just secondary think,but helping the poors,thats what is bible about?your dam wrong bible is about God.and all this are ecualy big ishues.you are actualy sayng that,so christians will live those politicians alone,and let them put any law they like,such ass homosexuality,child sacrifice.He just destroyd the christianity,by sayng only poor,poor and its not important the detales,basicaly you can belive in what you like to believe.
TRASHING the 4th commandment/Saturday sabbath (MEMORIAL OF CREATION) is the most obvious religious con job/deception on EARTH. Just compare how 99% of the church use ACTS 20:7 and never teach about ACTS 13:42-44, 16:13, 17:2 and 18:4. If PAUL trashed the sabbath, why didn't he warn all of the gentiles in ACTS to stop hanging around the Jews and come worship with him on the SUNday/Lord's day? Anti-evolutionists shoot their creation campaign in the foot by deleting the weekly creation reminder.
Chances are, Tony chastised Clinton quite a bit in private over the sex scandal. Notice the operative "chances are". But it was Tony's job to represent him, & guide him. Even as a republican, I find it hard to find fault in TC for not being judgemental enough of Clinton. All that being said, I'm not sure why Billy Graham publically distanced himself from Nixon for swearing as opposed to the way Campolo handled Clinton's' adultery,& perjury.
Romans 13:3-4. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
I'd shy away from the idea of "Works" as the catalyst to salvation...........if I were you. Should we do good things? Absolutely. (Just remember these things are done BECAUSE of our love for Jesus........not as merit badges for being worthy).
If you want to talk about people whose deeds are evil -- so evil, in fact, that they run from the light, you have only to look as far as the aberration of Christianity regularly endorsed by the radical right.
These people have little real knowledge concerning the bible they continually thump -- NO IDEA about its real origins, no idea WHY the particular documents in it were chosen, no idea WHO really chose them, and no idea WHAT AGENDA those particular selections served.
Christ is the light people turn from because their deeds are evil. So, Christ came, He was crucified. He didn't fit into peoples preconceived ideas of righteousness and they ran from the light, lest their deeds were exposed. It still happens today. Just like when people are presented with the narrow-way God of the Bible, they reject Him. He doesn't fit into what they already KNOW to be true. And, certainly, not everyone who claims Jesus is a Christian. Read Matt. 7:21-23 Jesus says "many".
The pharisees weren't just a First Century phenomenon.
The pharisees are alive and (physically) well today in their Christian counterparts, who wave their bibles around as they condemn everyone who doesn't agree with their own narrow points of view.
Jesus says, "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." In Matthew 7 He goes on to tell about the two ways marked "Heaven". The wide gate and the straight gate. Straight is the gate and "narrow" is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. And YOUR condemnation of those "bible wavers" is different from the pharisees how? The true exposes our own self-righteousness. Jesus is Lord!
If you had demonstrated any real understanding here at all concerning what you've just quoted, Meezernine, an actual discussion with you might be worth the trouble.
Proverbs 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out. -- I'm sure that compared to your implyed intellectual prowess I would crumble; being crushed by your apparent vast storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. I suppose I am not counted worthy by you, for you to condescend to my level and trouble yourself with a discussion. After all, I am but a lowely a "Bible waver": truly. To Christ Jesus the righteous, be the Glory forever.
You're not "lowly" at all, Meezernine. You just appear to think so, as suggested by the fact that you have taken an extremely narrow, altogether limited, and rather literalist interpretation of Christianity -- whipped up entirely by someone else -- and made it your own.
Then you go about referring to those who disagree with that entirely too-narrow approach as having an "anti-Christ agenda."
Do you suppose to think that all of your ideas are formed from a standpoint of complete neutrality and not influenced by anything? You are a product of what you have been fed and what you continue to feed yourself; a slave to someone elses ideas. I suppose you are right however. I am determined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The Pharisees hated and crucified Christ because his ideas were too narrow and exclusive. Haters of Jesus are the same toward His followers today.
Many of the people that consider themselves Jesus' "followers" would crucify him all over again today -- simply because he wouldn't conform to their rigid expectations.
We're all INFLUENCED by the culture we're raised in -- but some of us wise up to that, and seriously question the foundations of our belief systems. Some don't, unfortunately -- and those are often the ones who claim those who disagree with their narrow-minded ideas have an "anti-Christ agenda."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How the liberals point to pharisee for anything that contradicts their counterfeit truth that God is love anything else is a pharisee so lets hold hands and sing kumbaya and set up a bunch of soup kitchens because that why Jesus died....I can't believe this garbage hinduistic relativism is taking hold of the Christian Church
This man is a liar and has no business in the Church of Jesus Christ....this should be a warning to all Christian born of the holy spirit that it's time to fight the ministers of Satan....we live in utter apostasy. Helping the poor is only a good work if it's a derivative of saving faith and to actually bring people to Christ or seperation from Sin
The bible is not "really about helping poor and oppressed people." It is about the revelation of God through His Son, Jesus Christ and salvation through faith by grace! Helping the poor is a bi-product of faith! Sounds like He's teaching a system of "just do what Jesus did ", or you've "missed the point". The anti-Christ agenda is moving along just as expected, and people are eating it up. Jesus said, "Ye must be born again", then you will understand what the Bible is really all about.
It astonishes me what passes for real spirituality among some religions.
If your religion causes you to be at war within yourself or to think of yourself as defective in the eyes of God, then it's YOUR RELIGION that's defective--not you. Find a better way.
I guess then the hindu mystic that serves ideals but loves his relativism has found the 'better' way.....WAKE UP!!!! God has saved man from SIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! precious blood shed for SIN!!!!!! no one who's out feeding the poor and not warning people about their spiritual condition is a minister of SATAN...a proponant of a false gospel
Good heavens. If you could add just a few more exclamation points to your hyperventilating, Dhood999, maybe the truth would become more apparent in your argument.
Beware of the many false prophets who teach regularly on TBN. These wolves in sheeps clothing teach of a Third Movement classified as the Third Wave of Signs and Wonders that is comprised of Word Faith Doctrines that make God subservient to man due to the belief that God must operate under certain spiritual laws dictated by men. Please stay away from these heretical teaching, may the Lord rebuke these false prophets that practice these detestable doctrines!
Thank God for rational thinking, Jesus-centered Christians like Campolo. I love how Fundamentalist "Christians" call this line of thinking "heresy" when in fact it is more in touch with the actual teachings of Jesus and the early Church than a lot of the preaching I hear today.
There is no such thing as "Jesus-centered" Christians, or "Fundamentalist" Christians or any other "kind" of Christian. Only Christians. There are however all kinds of people who hate God and His word that call themselves Christian. To be Christian is not to reach out to people who hurt. (Ye must be born again) Also, Jesus wasn't a party guy, but that is how the blind judged Him, only because He went to those who were not the status-quo and changed their lives. "Go, and sin no more."
I believe Campolo's words are true. Segregating ourselves (Christians) from everyone else and saying the word "heretic" has gotten us nowhere. So rather than throw your religion at people, we should share our God with people instead.
There's sharing the Lord Jesus Christ with people and then there's identifying ourselves (as Campolo appears to do) with those people who are anti-Christ. He said in an interview that he sees Jesus in all religions! Now that's heresy! Yes we do share Jesus with people but not at the expense of watering down the gospel. Jesus came to save us from our sins and the wrtha of God and it's only thru Jesus we come to the Father NOT other religions!
I agree with what the guy says about Matthew 25, but there's still the issue of sin that has to be dealt with. You don't hear preaching on sin, anymore.
As a friend of mine said, "I have two choices, vote for babies in my own country to be murdered or vote to allow babies in other countries to starve."
Thank God that one day He will usher in a world where there will be no death!

Certainly helping those in need, is the life work of everyone. TPTB do not practice this principle and they are responsible for the poverty, war, much disease and the poor development of people. Our world is a dichotomy. Societies can be judged on how they deal with the helpless. Why then, do TPTB control the planet, in such a cruel and selfish and manipulative way? The answer is; they want rules for us and different rules for them. We feel compassion, we have a conscience and they don't.

Tony is the consummate story teller - in good company with Jesus Christ. The problem is we denigrate the Christians who are struggling with how to live in this pluralistic, post modern, consumerist, society. The best Christians fail at living the normal Christian life. If we judge Jesus and the church based on the worst examples of Christian living then we are judging and Jesus said "Judge not that you be not judged."
Tony is says our treatment of the poor is the standard - this is only one.

I blogged about this video with the following comments: Tony Campolo speaks on the poor in this 9 minute segment. I think he is spot on. Our politics too often focus on the things we can't agree on. Morality is about taking care of the poor. Jesus won't be looking at George's politics, piercings or party days to determine his eligibility in Heaven. To view on the blog site visit Mission Musings.

Tony made the statement that when we meet with the Lord he is going to ask one question - what die we do with the poor and opressed. Though I believe as the outcome of our faith or the fruit should involve reaching out to those in need like Jesu Said. In the red letters in thr bible Jesus also said that he was the way, truth and life. He also sais that who would believe in Him would have eternal life. John 3:16. In the same chapter, Jesus is talking with Nicodemus in about being born again.

The Bible CLEARLY urges governments to do justice to the poor. Churches are called to this, too. (Either-or scenarios don't serve us well!) But to leave government ignores blanket condemnation of Old Testament prophets and Jesus on kings, governments & societies for ignoring the poor. Ezekiel says Sodom was destroyed for disregarding the poor in her midst (16:49) And in Mt. 25, Jesus is judging NATIONS, not individuals. The greek word for nations in that text clearly refers to people groups.

@TheHour, While I don't doubt your good intentions, it is a great disservice to Tony to simply reference him as "Bill Clinton's spiritual adviser." Tony has done God's work in some of the most impoverished communities in the world and in our country. It is as simplistic as referring to Mother Teresa as "the pope's friend." Jesus says in heaven the last shall be first. Tony's spent a lot of time amongst the last.
CuChullainnRedBranch 1 year ago
@philleep777 Further, I would say that perhaps when Tony says the Bible is about helping the poor and oppressed that the definition of poverty and oppression is not limited to a material or spiritual interpretation but a combination of the two as is backed up by the above mentioned scriptures as well as the famous sheep and goats story in Matthew 25 that you had referenced in your comments.
CuChullainnRedBranch 1 year ago
@philleep777 The whole of the law is this, love God with your whole heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said that. If that's true, how could one possibly suggest that "whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren" could mean anything but how you treat your neighbor who who should love as much as yourself. This is underscored by the parable of the good Samaritan, the conversation with the rich young ruler and Luke 6:20-Blessed are you who are poor-for yours is the kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus Sheep hear His voice and they follow him. No one can become anything but a copy cat by doing what Jesus did. You cannot earn favor by being like Jesus. However when a person is truly converted He becomes conformed to the image of Jesus, partakes in the divine nature and puts on the mind of christ. All this is accomplished by the power of God. Because you are a partaker in the divine nature you will act like Jesus because you are becoming him.

Tony preaches that we aught to obey the words of Christ. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neightbor as yourself". Where is the heresy? Not preaching about Jesus? Why? Is there someone who hasnt already heard that Christ died for them. Is there a chance that someone might not know they are a sinner? Everyone has heard that message, usually from someone who was just a "sounding brass". We need more Tonys who can walk the talk.

I'm a sinner, and have been given God's Grace & I'm assured Salvation through Christ - which is the whole fricking point of the Bible.

@Thisiskeith1 Actually, God does hold government partially responsible for the care of the poor. Isaiah 10:1-2 states, "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless". It is a government's responsibility, as it is with the body of Christ, to help the poor and serve them.

Finally, it was Christians that started the ball rolling of social responsibility in government.

I like Campolo, but he clearly favors Democrats. He rarely speaks of the Republicans in a favorable way, like he does his friends in the Dem. party.

By the way many are poor by their own choosing. I feel absolutely no compulsion to help those who are looking for the monthly handout. Also your Bible is not primarily about the poor. Stop making it what it was never meant to be. As a Jew, even I know it is primarily about G-d's plan of salvation. Campolo constantly over states many biblical principles primarily because he is looking at it thru a contemporary political lense to manipulate. It can never mean what it never meant!

Luve: interesting that you're a Jew. Religiously? Ethnically? I ask b/c I've been catching some snippets in the law books about poverty and justice - allow the poor to glean the edges of harvested fields (don't harvest 100%). Eating food you pick yourself from someone elses property is allowed, but don't bring a basket (stealing). Even the OT 'angry god' (BS, btw) has allowances for the poor, and the wealthy have a responsibility TO the poor. And yeah, the poor still have to work 2 eat!
mowriter 2 years ago
Christians are funny, you would ask a question like that: Religiously or Ethically : ) I am a Jew period, by blood. As you can see I am a conservative where as many are not.
Not harvesting the entire field relates to the ten percent (tithe). However what you are prob not familiar with is the fact that the Torah discourages giving more than 20% since it will usually negatively impact your own personal responsibilties. Also notice that the poor would go out and pick it for themselves!
luvemliam 2 years ago
without effort on their part, they would not eat! Not to mention that we are taught that we take care of the needy and poor in our own families first. The welfare system has destroyed families and ambition for years because it requires no "going out" and getting for yourself. Entitlments :?/
Back to Campolo, again he is spouting primarily from a American Christian Political lense and is exaggerating to make a point because he is in some way prospering from it.

My answer must come from the Bible:
"15 Don't love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you cannot love the Father. 16 Our foolish pride comes from this world, and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything we see. None of this comes from the Father. 17 The world and the desires it causes are disappearing. But if we obey God, we will live forever." (I John 2:15-17).

We're all sinners and all guilty of many things. Thank God for forgiviness. If you believe you are the judge of whether he is or not and think you can call him out and bluntly say he's not a Christian then that's your issue.

Peter: re: "love this world". I used to think that meant friendship with the sinner; now I see it means alliance with the power brokers of this world, that bring on human suffering through tainted systems (Pauls "Principalities"), plus the religious phonies that defend these principalities in the name of...well, maybe pragmatism.

You mention that the only time Jesus judges is Matthew 25. Campolo is simply taking that passage to heart by seeking to help the least of these. That is what is most important to God according to Jesus. In Matt. 25 Jesus didn't say anything about bringing religion to the poor but rather bringing what they need for this life: food, shelter, clothing, love. Also Campolo is an evangelist, he gives the 'lost' gospel and social justice. He doesn't compromise either.

No, looking all through the bible, Math 25 is not the ONLY place Christ talks about judgment as the "pastor" stated,and he is a heretic full on.

TRASHING the 4th commandment/Saturday sabbath (MEMORIAL OF CREATION) is the most obvious religious con job/deception on EARTH. Just compare how 99% of the church use ACTS 20:7 and never teach about ACTS 13:42-44, 16:13, 17:2 and 18:4. If PAUL trashed the sabbath, why didn't he warn all of the gentiles in ACTS to stop hanging around the Jews and come worship with him on the SUNday/Lord's day? Anti-evolutionists shoot their creation campaign in the foot by deleting the weekly creation reminder.

Chances are, Tony chastised Clinton quite a bit in private over the sex scandal. Notice the operative "chances are". But it was Tony's job to represent him, & guide him. Even as a republican, I find it hard to find fault in TC for not being judgemental enough of Clinton. All that being said, I'm not sure why Billy Graham publically distanced himself from Nixon for swearing as opposed to the way Campolo handled Clinton's' adultery,& perjury.

If you want to talk about people whose deeds are evil -- so evil, in fact, that they run from the light, you have only to look as far as the aberration of Christianity regularly endorsed by the radical right.
These people have little real knowledge concerning the bible they continually thump -- NO IDEA about its real origins, no idea WHY the particular documents in it were chosen, no idea WHO really chose them, and no idea WHAT AGENDA those particular selections served.
They are blind guides.
awakenedinseattle 2 years ago 6
Christ is the light people turn from because their deeds are evil. So, Christ came, He was crucified. He didn't fit into peoples preconceived ideas of righteousness and they ran from the light, lest their deeds were exposed. It still happens today. Just like when people are presented with the narrow-way God of the Bible, they reject Him. He doesn't fit into what they already KNOW to be true. And, certainly, not everyone who claims Jesus is a Christian. Read Matt. 7:21-23 Jesus says "many".

Jesus says, "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." In Matthew 7 He goes on to tell about the two ways marked "Heaven". The wide gate and the straight gate. Straight is the gate and "narrow" is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. And YOUR condemnation of those "bible wavers" is different from the pharisees how?

You're not "lowly" at all, Meezernine. You just appear to think so, as suggested by the fact that you have taken an extremely narrow, altogether limited, and rather literalist interpretation of Christianity -- whipped up entirely by someone else -- and made it your own.
Then you go about referring to those who disagree with that entirely too-narrow approach as having an "anti-Christ agenda."
And yeah, that's being pharisaical.

Do you suppose to think that all of your ideas are formed from a standpoint of complete neutrality and not influenced by anything? You are a product of what you have been fed and what you continue to feed yourself; a slave to someone elses ideas. I suppose you are right however. I am determined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The Pharisees hated and crucified Christ because his ideas were too narrow and exclusive. Haters of Jesus are the same toward His followers today.

Many of the people that consider themselves Jesus' "followers" would crucify him all over again today -- simply because he wouldn't conform to their rigid expectations.
We're all INFLUENCED by the culture we're raised in -- but some of us wise up to that, and seriously question the foundations of our belief systems. Some don't, unfortunately -- and those are often the ones who claim those who disagree with their narrow-minded ideas have an "anti-Christ agenda."

The bible is not "really about helping poor and oppressed people." It is about the revelation of God through His Son, Jesus Christ and salvation through faith by grace! Helping the poor is a bi-product of faith! Sounds like He's teaching a system of "just do what Jesus did ", or you've "missed the point". The anti-Christ agenda is moving along just as expected, and people are eating it up. Jesus said, "Ye must be born again", then you will understand what the Bible is really all about.

I believe Campolo's words are true. Segregating ourselves (Christians) from everyone else and saying the word "heretic" has gotten us nowhere. So rather than throw your religion at people, we should share our God with people instead.

There's sharing the Lord Jesus Christ with people and then there's identifying ourselves (as Campolo appears to do) with those people who are anti-Christ. He said in an interview that he sees Jesus in all religions! Now that's heresy! Yes we do share Jesus with people but not at the expense of watering down the gospel. Jesus came to save us from our sins and the wrtha of God and it's only thru Jesus we come to the Father NOT other religions!
