"There
are toxic religions ...those where you resent those who don't believe
what you believe."Robert Schuller, talking to Gerald
Jampolsky, 10/2004
"I
don't think anything has been done in the name of Christ and under
the banner of Christianity that has proven more destructive to human
personality and, hence, counterproductive to the evangelism enterprise
than the often crude, uncouth, and unchristian strategy of attempting
to make people aware of their lost and sinful condition." Robert Schuller, Self-Esteem, The New Reformation
(pp. 159-160)
Robert
Schuller and the New Age
Schuller's all-inclusive dream becoming a reality.
See Rethink Conference 2008 with major Christian leaders helping to bring it to pass.
From
Robert Schuller's book, My Journey ...
"I
met once more with the Grand Mufti (a Muslim), truly one of
the great Christ-honoring leaders of faith. ... I'm dreaming
a bold impossible dream: that positive-thinking believers in
God will rise above the illusions that our sectarian religions
have imposed on the world, and that leaders of the major faiths
will rise above doctrinal idiosyncrasies, choosing not to focus
on disagreements, but rather to transcend divisive dogmas
to work together to bring peace and prosperity and hope
to the world...." p. 502
"Standing
before a crowd of devout Muslims with the Grand Mufti,
I know that we're all doing God's work together. Standing
on the edge of a new millennium, we're laboring hand
in hand to repair the breach." p. 501

A
Course in Miracles (Promoted by
Gerald Jampolsky)
"The
book, A Course
in Miracles, has been taught at Robert Schuller's Crystal
Cathedral and is right in line with Schuller's philosophy. This
is a book from a disembodied voice dictating its contents, who claimed
to be Jesus Christ. Its purpose was to correct the errors in the
Bible. The Course teaches that "forgiveness" is simply recognizing
that sin does not exist and therefore there is nothing to forgive.
To accept the Course's teachings is to reject all Biblical doctrine,
yet those who embrace it are able to call themselves Christians.
This book's promotion to ignore our sinful nature is right in line
with Schuller's philosophy." Let Us Reason Ministries
