Baptist of the Year: Al Gore
Al Gore is EthicsDaily.com’s pick as Baptist of the Year for 2007. He has pressed for the global good with a compelling message about the danger of climate change and a clear call for moral responsibility, knitting together science and faith, reason and passion. He has refused to be distracted by the character-assassins, the fear-mongers, the science-deniers and the merchants of short-term gain. He has remained faithful to his mission of protecting the earth and its inhabitants.
In the opening paragraphs of his Nobel Peace Prize lecture, Gore said, “I have a purpose here today. It is a purpose I have tried to serve for many years. I have prayed that God would show me a way to accomplish it.”
With an acknowledgment of Providence, Gore tethered his speech to his moral vision. He quoted the Bible, refused to make God responsible for human inaction, called squarely for an ethic of love for neighbor, confessed human failure and placed moral authority at the tip of the needed plan for planetary redemption. His address was profoundly Christian without being offensively so.
I got news for you ethicsdaily.com Satan quotes the Bible as well. Is it no wonder that people do not want to belong to any sort of church denomination? If Al Gore is the Baptist (I use the term tongue in cheek) of the year then that must make me as a Baptist preacher of the Gospel emperor of the year, right?
I have seen in the news over much of 2007 good Bible believing denominations, compromising and giving in to political correctness and embracing secular humanism, and liberalism. Do you still believe that we are not in the last days?

That’s a good one. Al Gore Baptist of the year! You can apparently be an outstanding Baptist without even believing Christian doctrine. Anyone who reads his books should know that Al Gore is a pagan in sheep’s clothing.
In order to make $100 million selling his global warming religion I am sure there has to be plenty of gullible followers who would elect him to be the Pope of their junk science religion. They probably need to make Al Gore the green Pope and then all these “progressive” Baptists can come and kiss his ring.
It was also real “Christian” of that leftist organization to bash other Bible believing Baptists in their article for retaining biblical values.
If they see nothing differently from the secular humanists of the world maybe it is because they are secular humanists in the world.
By the way, Al Gore occasionally goes to one of those “progressive” types of Baptist churches, so it should not be surprising that they would endorse one of their own.
They also named Lebanese Baptists that preach replacement theology and do not encourage efforts to bring the Gospel to Muslims, as “Baptists of the year” in 2006. That is not what I’ve been hearing from former Muslims who really accepted Christ about spreading the Gospel to Muslims - they actually do encourage it!
Like you said, this website is secular humanism disguised as “Baptist.” Just reading the praise for Al Gore in this article makes my stomach turn and make me feel like throwing up.
This is the spirit that people like John (1 John 1:15-23, etc) and Peter (2 Peter 2) warned for. Now even Christianity’s most biblical denominations too are turning into an attractive, superficial and seemingly innocent yet deceptive, dangerous and egocentric harlot. Her spirit goes out of the satan who is trying to deceive people as usual and keeping them from learning the truth that Christ is the promised Messiah, the Son of God, the only Way, and salvation is found only in Him. It is the Antichrist spirit that goes out of satan, “seeking whom he may devour.”
Much of the environmentalist movement as well as humanism is paganism and human-centered idolatry. They will mock at the Law and curse God for stating that things like adultery are abominations, but when it comes to proving that their “ecology” is “good”, all the sudden even that “old-fashioned” Law is “acceptable.” Hypocrits! God’s Laws concerning the use of land indeed are good and they work, but to interpret them as if God was endorsing your green earth-worshiping idolatry, that’s blasphemy.
