Tim Keller, co-founder of Gospel Coalition
3/3
Now here's where the Socialist "gospel" enters:
"Keller’s article is based on the ideas of a philosopher who has spent three decadesworking in a Catholic University.…..the article…..does not use Scripture, and there are no biblical references at all—Keller’s gospel is based on his ideas…..to find out why people don’t believe the gospel, Keller did a survey of unbelieving under-25s in New York. One of the main reasons for unbelief, according to Keller’s survey, is the record of Christians, who are seen as hypocrites. According to unbelievers the Christian Churchhas a history of supporting injustices, of destroying culture, of oppression.Keller concedes that “there have been terrible abuses.But in the prophets and the gospels we are given tools for a devastating critique of moralistic religion….He makes the incredible statement that Karl Marx and Frederick Nietzsche, in their critique of Christianity, relied on the ideas of the Old Testament prophets.……Keller’s statement that Nietzsche’s critique of Christianity was based on the ideas of the prophets is wildly misleading.Keller spends much of the article stressing the importance of making the gospel culturally sensitive.……He says that “it is widely assumed that Christianity can’t be true because of the cultural belief that American culture, based on Christianity, is unjust and corrupt.”The inference is that American culture causes people to reject the gospel of Christ. But Scripture never mentions culture as a reason for people rejecting the light of the gospel. Scripture says: “An this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed” (John 3.19-20)."
"…..comments of a former member of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York, Jonathan Cousar, who attended Keller’s church….“I went to Tim Keller’s church for nearly 20 years and in fact I left just last yearbecause of my growing concern that the church and Tim were far more liberal, theologically and ideologically than I had ever imagined.”Cousar continues: “To sum up Keller’s theology most succinctly, Keller says ‘the primary purpose of salvation is -cultural renewal- to make this world a better place’. That statement should alarm any true evangelical or conservative Christian.And it must be understood that this one statement is central to all of Keller’s teachings.”
"Tim Keller has a reputation for being a sound Protestant Christian leader. His teachings are widely propagated through The Gospel Coalition, the Redeemer Network, the Evangelical Ministry Assembly in the UK, and conferences around the world. The truth is that Keller does not abide by the orthodox doctrines of the Christian Church. He uses a pseudo intellectual, philosophical approach to propagate a man made gospel. He is promoting a false gospel that is far from biblical truth…….he is deeply ecumenical in approach and sympathetic to the Catholic cause…..his commitment to the Catholicism is so deep that Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York engages in mystical Catholic practices.He has such a low view of Scripture that he goes out of his way to promote the false doctrine of theistic evolution. He is so impressed with the idea of humanistic psychology that his church runs a fee charging counselling service that integrates psychological theories with Scripture…..he promotes a liberal political agenda.
