Rick Warren’s “Battle of the Mind” Speech at the Desiring God 2010 THINK Conference (which Rick Warren did not attend but presented on videotape) resulted in a torrent of emails to me from Christians who were alarmed. I also received a number of concerns about the response from John Piper and his panel at the conference after hearing Warren’s speech. I had not planned on even listening to the speech because there had not yet been any formal or public repentance from Rick Warren for all of his false teachings in his Purpose Driven Life book or for the destruction he has wrought in churches all over the U.S. (a repentance speech is a speech that I would have made sure to hear). But the indignation over the “Battle of the Mind” speech had grown so large, I felt compelled to view it and respond. Before this I had appealed to and warned John Piper because he had invited Rick Warren to speak at his 2010 Desiring God Conference. My appeal can be read at:
James Sundquist’s Response to John Piper Inviting Rick Warren to Defile his pulpit and people
John Piper did not listen to me or a host of other Christians who appealed to him or publicly rebuked him or Rick Warren. Also see:
John Piper, Rick Warren and the Doctrine of Separation
for Tim Challies’ appeal regarding Warren’s appearance. John Piper invited him anyway. What follows is my response to Rick Warren’s speech as well as my commentary on the Panel’s response at the 2010 Desiring God Conference. I agree with Tim Challies.
Many of the concerns about Rick Warren’s teachings are itemized in two reference books I wrote entitled: Who’s Driving the Purpose Driven Church? and Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan vs. Scriptural Teachings on Peace, published by Southwest Radio Ministries http://www.swrc.com. These books expose the false teachings of Rick Warren, including documented case studies of churches in which he was a destroyer of the brethren. I am heartened to learn that so many good brothers and sisters in Christ such as Ken Silva, Ingrid Schlueter, Paula Coyle, Chris Rosebrough, Daniel Neades, and Justin Edwards saw right through what Rick Warren presented at Piper’s Desiring God Conference. But I am sorely vexed that Piper and the Desiring God Conference Panel of sycophants including Piper himself, Pastor Burk Parsons (Ligonier…R.C. Sproul) and Pastor Kevin Young (University Reformed Church) would cheer on this wolf masquerading as a servant of righteousness, rendering themselves derelict watchmen on the wall…a reproach to all of the saints that Rick Warren’s PDL and Global Peace Plan ship’s propeller has left dismembered throughout the world. . . . . .

True Discernment 
Great reading your ppost
Dear Burk Parsons and all Reformed Calvinist,
I know that John Calvin is the foundation of your Reformed Theological Seminary. But it was one of your colleagues who recommended you and Professor Fortson as the best contacts to present the following question.
So I am curious if you know or alert your students (and church members) about the Calvin quotes below and the victims of John Calvin (or their heirs and descendants) such as?:

Second question: Do you or any of your fellow Reformed Pastors inform your church members of these quotes by John Calvin in your sermons or writings and before you administer counseling to them?:
“Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.” John Calvin
Excerpt from “Ad Quaelstiones et Objecta Juaei Cuiusdam Responsio,” by John Calvin; The Jew in Christian Theology, Gerhard Falk, McFarland and Company, Inc., Jefferson, NC and London, 1931.
“On the first post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to women rather than to men: “I consider this was done by way of reproach, because they [the men] had been so tardy and sluggish to believe. And indeed, they deserve not only to have women for their teachers, but even oxen and asses. . . . Yet it pleased the Lord, by means of those weak and contemptible vessels, to give display of his power.”“On this account, all women are born that they may acknowledge themselves as inferior in consequence to the superiority of the male sex.”
“. . . there is no absurdity in the same person commanding and likewise obeying when viewed in different relations. But this does not apply to the case of woman, who by nature (that is, by the ordinary law of God) is formed to obey; for γυναικοκρατία (the government of women) has always been regarded by all wise persons as a monstrous thing; and, therefore, so to speak, it will be a mingling of heaven and earth, if women usurp the right to teach. Accordingly, he bids them be “quiet,” that is, keep within their own rank.”
A different translation of the last line is, “He therefore commands them to remain in silence; that is, to keep within their limits and the condition of their sex.”
…“Now Moses shews that the woman was created afterwards, in order that she might be a kind of appendage to the man; and that she was joined to the man on the express condition, that she should be at hand to render obedience to him. (Genesis 2:21) Since, therefore, God did not create two chiefs of equal power, but added to the man an inferior aid, the apostle [Paul] justly reminds us of that order of creation in which the eternal and inviolable appointment of God is strikingly displayed.”
Final question: many Reformed Churches on your list such as Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California use musical instruments in worship. Did you know that John Calvin, the very foundation of Reformed Theology called this an abomination?
In my research for my book on Calvin, I asked a number of leading scholars inside RC, Eastern Orthodox and Reformed camps what was the reason or one of the main reasons for baptizing infants. Their answer was consistent. It was to replace the Jews and obliterate their rite of circumcision, I.e., antisemitism. And it is without dispute that Calvin was antisemitic. Therefore, if you baptize no infants and believers only, it is impossible to replace circumcision.
I just wanted to add that even if Reformed Baptist Theology is airtight on every doctrine but baptism, it would not matter because Calvin would still have them, with few exceptions, burned at the stake. And when Calvin’s Reconstructionist Global One World Government is fully consummated, there will not be a single Reformed Baptist on the earth and every Reformed Baptist Church and denomination will be destroyed or vaporized! I never could figure out why anyone baptized infants since there is no biblical justification. But now I know, and it all makes sense.
I eagerly look forward to your response, as this will be very helpful in my now 500 page book on John Calvin, Calvinism, and Neo-Calvinism!
Thank you.
Sincerely in Christ,
James Sundquist
