JOHN PIPER GUSHES OVER HERETIC C.S. LEWIS, FOCUS OF UPCOMING DESIRING GOD CONFERENCE

JOHN PIPER

C.S. Lewis has been one of the favorite darlings of liberal new evangelicals and the "neo-reformed", such as John Piper, who is so enthralled with Lewis that he dedicates an entire conference to Lewis and in addition offers an e-book "Alive to Wonder:Celebrating the Influence of C.S. Lewis", http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/new-ebook-piper-celebrates-the-influence-of-lewis.

Piper gushes with effusive undiscerning admiration for Lewis at:
"C.S. Lewis’s profound influence on so many people was not owing to his aberrations from evangelical doctrine. Aberrations there were. But that was not the spring of his influence. It was in spite of that. So the quest to understand the depth and extent of his influence promises riches even for those of us who prize the doctrines where he was weakest." "Some people are influential because they attract attention with their avant-garde, unorthodox views. C.S. Lewis boasted of being an “intellectual dinosaur,” not avant-garde."

However, consider the less than Christian aspects of Lewis as described at these links:
Gary Gilley from Southern View Chapel: 
David Cloud of Way of Life:
"Was C.S. Lewis a strong Bible believer? By no means, as even Christianity Today admits. “Clive Staples Lewis was anything but a classic evangelical, socially or theologically. He smoked cigarettes and a pipe, and he regularly visited pubs to drink beer with friends. Though he shared basic Christian beliefs with evangelicals, he didn’t subscribe to biblical inerrancy or penal substitution. He believed in purgatory and baptismal regeneration” (“C.S. Lewis Superstar,”Christianity Today, Dec. 2005)." "Lewis believed in prayers for the dead." "Lewis lived for 30 years with Janie Moore, a woman 25 years his senior to whom he was not married. The relationship with the married woman began when Lewis was still a student at Oxford. Moore was separated from her husband. Lewis confessed to his brother Arthur that he was in love with Mrs. Moore, the mother of one of his friends who was killed in World War I. The relationship was definitely sexual in nature." "Lewis never gave up his unholy fascination with paganism." "Lewis claimed that followers of pagan religions can be saved without personal faith in Jesus Christ." "As for faith in the blood of Christ, Lewis said that it is not an essential part of Christianity." 

From the same article: WHY IS LEWIS SO POPULAR WITH EVANGELICALS TODAY? THE REASONS:
1) NEW EVANGELICALS LOVE C.S. LEWIS BECAUSE THEY ARE CHARACTERIZED BY A PRIDE OF INTELLECT AND LEWIS WAS DEFINITELY AN INTELLECTUAL.
2) NEW EVANGELICALS LOVE C.S. LEWIS BECAUSE OF HIS ECUMENICAL THINKING AND HIS REFUSAL TO PRACTICE SEPARATION.
3)  NEW EVANGELICALS LOVE C.S. LEWIS BECAUSE OF THEIR SHARED FASCINATION FOR OR AND SYMPATHY WITH ROME.

"Beware of C.S. Lewis' HERESIES":


Contending for Truth by Dr. Scott Johnson: http://www.contendingfortruth.com/?p=1109:

J.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, The Inklings, Narnia & the Golden Dawn-Part 1
4/6/2008
"In this teaching we will start out by first discussing many of the occult details and facts regarding both J.R. Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ books/movies and then C.S. Lewis’s ‘Narnia’ books/movies.
During the 1930′s to 1940′s both Tolkien and Lewis were part of an informal literary discussion group associated with the ‘University of Oxford’ & known as the “Inklings”. C. S. Lewis called Charles Williams (Fellow “Inkling”, specialist in Tarot and Kabbalah & a man whose mind was steeped in occult rituals and demonic forces) ‘his dearest friend.’ This close friendship made a large impact on Lewis and his writings. C. S. Lewis wrote of Williams poems: ‘They seem to me… for their profound wisdom, to be among the two or three most valuable books of verse produced in the century.’ Charles Williams was also a member of the ‘Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’.
There are many that assert that both Tolkien and Lewis were closet members of the Golden Dawn. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was a amalgamation of 
Freemasonry (Babylonian mystery religions), 
Theosophy (An Satanic/occult religious philosophy combined with metaphysics, started by a high level witch named H. P. Blavatsky), 
Eliphas Levi’s Teachings (A high level black magic occultist), 
Enochian Magic (an elaborate system of advanced, 
Satanic, ceremonial magic), 
The Kabbalah (The highest level of Jewish witchcraft) and 
Medieval Grimoire (a manual of black magic for invoking spirits and demons). 
Regarding the Order of the Golden Dawn, among its first initiates was a coroner who allegedly performed necromantic rites, while another early member was black magician Aleister Crowley, the self styled Great Beast/666."
There is no PDF for this Teaching.

"COMMON CORE" OR "OBAMACORE"~IT'S STILL STATIST, COLLECTIVIST, COMMUNITARIAN, SOCIALIST INDOCTRINATION IN SCHOOLS




Common Core is Rotten to the Core:

































The New American has a lengthy article about "Common Core", the new federalized oversight of educational standards, materials, and curriculum for schools and students.
See:

"Common Core: A Scheme to Rewrite Education"-http://thenewamerican.com/culture/education/item/16192-common-core-a-scheme-to-rewrite-education.

Excerpt from above:
"Totalitarian leaders from Hitler to Stalin and everywhere in between have always sought to centralize and control education. The reason is simple: Whoever molds the minds of the youth can eventually dominate the population, even if it takes a generation or two. That is why tyrants in recent centuries have demanded compulsory, government-led education. Hitler made clear that he wanted to use “education” as a tool to mold German children in accordance with the National Socialist regime’s despotic and murderous ideology. So did Stalin, and numerous other infamous tyrants and mass-murderers. As Karl Marx noted in hisCommunist Manifesto, government-controlled schooling is essential to achieving the goals of socialism."

'COMMON CORE': PROPAGANDA EDUCATION FOR ALL TO REPLACE CRITICAL THINKING FOR GLOBALIST THINKING. BILL GATES BEHIND IT!

Concerns with Common Core-by North Carolina 


Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest:






The Communitarian Trap blog is following the "Common Core" ideology and connects it to other communitarian/socialist endeavors of government and international one world system ideas.
Reprinted here in full:

Common Core and the Communitarian World Government

So far we have heard about Communitarian agendas called Common Purpose, Common Good, and 
common ground, but now there is another one we have to contend with - Common Core. In a 
nutshell, Common Core is the nationalization of education, and its got the Gates Foundation 
fingerprints all over it. President Obama has been the most recent advocate of this globalist 
method of educating the children of our country/world - equally.

Supporters of the core are saying that the old system of each state having its own set of 
standards, has  proved to be untenable because student achievement was uneven across 
the country. Crafters of the system believe it is the first step to a high-quality education [2], 
yet this Common Core video leaves plenty of information out. Let's listen to what they do 
want you to know. I'll then go into what has been left out.
                                        

(YouTube link)

What they aren't telling you is that personal details about each student are being collected. 
It's not just about nationalized testing, and having everyone get the same education. It's also 
about the individuals social security numbers, attendance records, records of interaction with 
school counselors, identification of learning disabilities, and even disciplinary records. The 
information communicates more about the student than just grades - the old fashioned way. 
These changes, made without congressional approval, now allow third party access to student 
data without the consent of parents. They are neatly incorporated into the students education 
record.[3]

The other part is that they want the student to learn that their community is a member of a 
global community. The theme of interdependenceand oneness are New Age concepts, and they 
will be communicated through the curriculum.
(See: http://thecommunitariantrap.blogspot.com/2013/04/interdependence-
wrong-solution-bad-idea.html)

Who is supporting this?
According to the Washington Post, both Republicans and Democrats supported the initial 
initiative, but it has now been receiving opposition from Republicans. The initiative was 
introduced as being voluntary, but then the true plan was revealed at a later date. After 
studying Common Core, it violates states rights. You would think that a curriculum that requires 
the implementation of the standardization of education across the country would have previously 
been viewed as violating states rights, but when you listen to the last video, schools were baited 
into it with Obama money. Apparently, experienced politicians with law background weren't able 
to hear the buzz word "common" to make them realize it was part of the communitarian/collectivist 
agenda. Yet again our globalist politicians pulled another one over the eyes of the American people.

Some specifics, please. 
This is an example of what is within the curriculum of Common Core.

  
(YouTube link)

 How did this happen?
I'm not certain who this woman is, but she may be relaying information with limited knowledge 
of the Communitarian agenda. She states that Common Core was slipped in without our politicians 
knowing it, but I don't believe it for a minute. Presently, there is only a handful of states that have 
not applied to this date. The states who have not yet adopted Common Core can be viewed on 
their website.

In the video, she reveals a list of globalist names who are deeply imbedded as funders in the 
Common Core's program. She explains that this is about having world knowledge in the global 
economy.

Conclusion 
This generation of young people are being molded to run the world government and accept 
collectivist ideology. I suspect that since some homeschoolers are not being indoctrinated 
with the collectivist ideologies, homeschooling will either become illegal or they will be required 
to use the curriculum over the internet.

Can we fight against it? No, because world government is something we know is in our future, 
based upon the scriptures. However, knowledge of this will allow us to position ourselves to deal 
with what is coming down the pike.

If you don't believe Common Core has evil intentions, then you need to do more research on the 
subject of Communitarianism. The powers that be believe that we must be an active member in 
the global community - and this is one way of doing it. The overall theme of this is about equality, 
but when it comes down to it - we aren't. There's always the ones in charge.

COMMUNITARIANISM:

Niki Raapana - Communitarianism:

                                   
Uploaded on Jun 16, 2008 on YouTube:

There is an old social theory that in order to create a healthier planet, people everywhere must learn the value of collectivism. Its many proponents insist that individual rights and liberties pose a real threat to the health and safety of the "community at large. If we will just put the community before self-centered concerns, mankind can eliminate war and poverty. To many, it is our evolutionary destiny and our moral duty to comply with the spirit of community.

 The founders of the Communitarian Network began "shoring up the moral, social and political environment" in the early 1990s. Today the communitarian theory is the basis for hundreds of new global rules and regulations eliminating individual rights, yet fewer than one percent of the affected population knows about it.

 Communitarianism was embraced by leaders in every nation after it was financed by the international banking elite. Today the theory of community influences all aspects of life: news, science, money, law, land use, health, education, policing and employment, not to mention the arts, fashion, fundraising, causes and entertainment. Community is the buzzword on everybody's lips these days.
