National Council of Churches Supports the U.N.

Originally posted at Maggie's Notebook

When you and I attend the Sunday service at the church of our choice, how often do we contemplate the doctrine behind the church? My pastor is very conservative in thought and sticks to biblical teachings that I can confirm, within the Bible, for myself. From the pulpit, I implicitly trust him.

However, if you attend a church that is a member of the National Council of Churches or the the broader World Council of Churches, there are things to be aware of, issues to ponder and agendas to explore.

It's not as simple as the NCC agreeing with your philosophy...it's the matter of a percentage of the funds you give to your church being sent to the headquarters of your denomination and from there, likely, a donation made to the NCC. These figures are difficult to confirm, but the National Council of Churches must be funded in some manner. On the positive side, family.org reports that donations from mainstream churches have significantly declined, but have been replaced with funds from political-action groups - and numerous qualify as "far-left" activism.

Here's two items to think about: 1) The National Council of Churches advocates for gun control and the Virginia Tech shootings has them hot on the mission. 2) The NCC wants diplomatic relations with Iran, and, indeed, a delegation from the NCC visited Iran in February 2007. Did my donations help fund this trip? Probably.

Faultline U.S.A has written a comprehensive post on this subject, which includes the crux of the situation: United Nations Entrenched Within Most Christian Denominations.

This post is an alarm bell... we need to know to whom and to where our earnestly donated monies go - and we need to know the philosophies we silently, and perhaps, unknowingly, support. I'm not making final judgements about the National Council of Churches, as I have the United Nations (dangerous, worthless, a threat - an enemy to the United States) but it is worthwhile for Christians to understand the motives supported by our donations.

I encourage you to follow the links above to Faultline's article. It is jam-packed with information, and while it may appear long, just a few lines into it and you'll grasp the importance of the issues. In my opinion, the most important link within the Faultline U.S.A. post is the tiny little word "report" which leads to a document by the Concerned Women of America. At the beginning of a paragraph look for this...:

CWA releases a report...

Click on the word report. It puts all the valuable information into perspective.
