Evangelical Communism: DEI in the Church

Karen Pansler Lam, J.D.

Communism has infiltrated Evangelical churches in many ways, including DEI: diversity, equity, and inclusion. You may insist, “Not MY church!” But many professing Christians applaud the government’s stance against DEI, but are blind to DEI in their own denominations and churches.

Diversity and Inclusion: The Sinner-Centered Church

Diversity and inclusion are just two sides of the same coin. Diversity is the goal; inclusion policies exist to create diversity. The communist goal of DEI is to divide, disrupt, and destroy churches. DEI achieves this by demanding churches welcome everyone: homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers - all sinners. So, born-again Christians are discriminated against in preference to inclusion policies that favor sinners to feel included. Inclusion is defined as everyone feeling respected, having a sense of belonging, and being able to participate. So, churches make sinners feel welcome by substituting holy worship with unholy and profane entertainment. Religious communists call this a seeker-sensitive church, but it is a sinner-centered church. And the sinner-centered church is the synagogue of Satan.

The sinner-centered church targets sinners by making the church experience comfortable, inviting, and non-threatening. The goal is to get as many sinners through the door as possible and make them feel at home so it becomes their home church and they pay tithes, offerings, special offerings...you get the idea. And church leadership is willing to do anything – yes, anything – to boost their numbers in attendance and dollars. Sinner-centered churches offer profane programs in place of reverent church worship: theatrics, profane diverse music (hip hop, rock, choreographed dancing, etc.), flashing color lights and smoke, and other unholy means to keep sinners from getting bored. Since they are not saved, they are uninterested in a reverent and holy church service. The old hymns are seen as white racism and divisive because of their sacred nature and Bible doctrine. DEI in the church demands we condemn the old hymns and replace them with shallow repetitive “spiritual” songs devoid of all “judgmental” Bible doctrine and replace the beautiful and sacred melodies with loud primitive tribal beats. Some professing “conservative” Evangelical churches may include one or two old hymns in the service to please the older congregants to keep them happy and continue to pay tithes and offerings. Remember...it’s all about numbers, especially dollars.

And sinner-centered churches reject sermons. Pastors now give talks on a stage. Entertaining talks that never mention the Bible doctrines of repentance, sanctification, holiness, righteousness and other Biblical truths make the sinner feel included. To keep sinners coming to church, pastors follow the DEI command of “No sermonizing.” Sermons preaching Bible doctrines are considered divisive, so talks about human relationships and other subjects to find common ground are presented. Sinners are not brought under conviction of their sin and remain steadfast and content in their sinful state because they are included in a church. But being included in a church is not the same as being included in the Church – the holy body of Christ. Sinner-centered churches drive out born-again Christians. No born-again Christian will attend a sinner-centered church - the synagogue of Satan.

Evangelical communists use Church Gestapo, the political police in the church, to force the Old Church Order to submit to the New Church Order. The Church Gestapo ruthlessly eliminate opposition. The pastor and Church Gestapo bully, manipulate, intimidate, and use other communist tactics to coerce Christians to either submit or leave. To illustrate, years ago, when attending Southside Assemblies of God in Lakeland, Florida, and the leadership was bringing in the New Church Order, “Pastor” Phil Stephens ended the service by bullying, “Aren’t you willing to do anything to get young people to come to church? If you are, then come stand at the front of the church.” I thought... “No, I’m not willing to commit sacrilege in the sanctuary to bring young people into church. The mission of evangelism is to go out into the world and preach the Gospel, then bring saved souls into the church for discipleship. The pastor’s intimidation and bullying tactic made folks feel guilty, and they willingly and unwillingly went forward so they would not be ostracized. I stayed in my pew. This wicked manipulation forced congregants to submit to DEI, feel excluded, or leave. The pastor and Church Gestapo were taking note of those who didn’t go forward. We were labeled as resisters who needed to be broken down into submission – or forced out.

DEI in the church is designed to decrease independent thinking, deny equality to anyone who tries to block the communist takeover, and exclude anyone who doesn’t go along with the communist party line. Rick Warren openly admits he uses communist tactics in the church. Just as Hitler had his Gestapo, Warren has his Gestapo...

Church Transitions, an associate of Saddleback Church in California, trains the Warren Gestapo initiating the change:

1. Identify those who are resisting the changes;

2. Assess the effectiveness of their opposition;

3. Befriend those who are undecided about the changes;

4. Marginalize more persistent resisters;

5. Vilify those who stay and fight; and

6. Establish new rules that will silence all resistance.

Unity or Diversity?

So, does the Word of God teach unity or diversity in the church?

The Bible warns us:

And if a house be divided against itself,
that house cannot stand.
Mark 3:25

The Bible is clear about the importance of unity and the devastating consequences of diversity.

Diversity divides.

Diversity destroys.

Sinners divide the Lord’s house – and destroy it.

Sinner-centered churches are synagogues of Satan.

And that is the clever strategy of communists who insist on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

DEI means Christ-centered churches founded on the pure Word of God will DIE.

The Bible commands us in 2 Corinthians 6:

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The great Bible commentator Matthew Henry warns us of the dangers of mingling with unbelievers:

II. The caution or exhortation itself, not to mingle with unbelievers, not to be unequally yoked with them, v. 14.

Either, 1. In stated relations. It is wrong for good people to join in affinity with the wicked and profane; these will draw different ways, and that will be galling and grievous. Those relations that are our choice must be chosen by rule; and it is good for those who are themselves the children of God to join with those who are so likewise; for there is more danger that the bad will damage the good than hope that the good will benefit the bad.

2. In common conversation. We should not yoke ourselves in friendship and acquaintance with wicked men and unbelievers. Though we cannot wholly avoid seeing, and hearing, and being with such, yet we should never choose them for our bosom friends.

3. Much less should we join in religious communion with them; we must not join with them in their idolatrous services, nor concur with them in their false worship, nor any abominations; we must not confound together the table of the Lord and the table of devils, the house of God and the house of Rimmon. The apostle gives several good reasons against this corrupt mixture.

(1.) It is a very great absurdity, v. 14, 15. It is an unequal yoking of things together that will not agree together; as bad as for the Jews to have ploughed with an ox and an ass or to have sown divers sorts of grain intermixed. What an absurdity is it to think of joining righteousness and unrighteousness, or mingling light and darkness, fire and water, together! Believers are, and should be, righteous; but unbelievers are unrighteous. Believers are made light in the Lord, but unbelievers are in darkness; and what comfortable communion can these have together? Christ and Belial are contrary one to the other; they have opposite interests and designs, so that it is impossible there should be any concord or agreement between them. It is absurd, therefore, to think of enlisting under both; and, if the believer has part with an infidel, he does what in him lies to bring Christ and Belial together.

(2.) It is a dishonour to the Christian's profession ( v. 16); for Christians are by profession, and should be in reality, the temples of the living God—dedicated to, and employed for, the service of God, who has promised to reside in them, to dwell and walk in them, to stand in a special relation to them, and take a special care of them, that he will be their God and they shall be his people. Now there can be no agreement between the temple of God and idols. Idols are rivals with God for his honour, and God is a jealous God, and will not give his glory to another.

(3.) There is a great deal of danger in communicating with unbelievers and idolators, danger of being defiled and of being rejected; therefore the exhortation is ( v. 17) to come out from among them, and keep at a due distance, to be separate, as one would avoid the society of those who have the leprosy or the plague, for fear of taking infection, and not to touch the unclean thing, lest we be defiled. Who can touch pitch, and not be defiled by it? We must take care not to defile ourselves by converse with those who defile themselves with sin; so is the will of God, as we ever hope to be received, and not rejected, by him.

(4.) It is base ingratitude to God for all the favours he has bestowed upon believers and promised to them, v. 18. God has promised to be a Father to them, and that they shall be his sons and his daughters; and is there a greater honour or happiness than this? How ungrateful a thing then must it be if those who have this dignity and felicity should degrade and debase themselves by mingling with unbelievers! Do we thus requite the Lord, O foolish and unwise?

Listen again to the warning words of Rev. Henry...

What an absurdity is it to think of joining righteousness and unrighteousness, or mingling light and darkness, fire and water, together!

Believers are, and should be, righteous; but unbelievers are unrighteous.

Believers are made light in the Lord, but unbelievers are in darkness; and what comfortable communion can these have together?

There is a great deal of danger in communicating with unbelievers and idolators, danger of being defiled and of being rejected; therefore the exhortation is to come out from among them, and keep at a due distance, to be separate, as one would avoid the society of those who have the leprosy or the plague, for fear of taking infection, and not to touch the unclean thing, lest we be defiled.

It is base ingratitude to God for all the favours he has bestowed upon believers and promised to them. God has promised to be a Father to them, and that they shall be his sons and his daughters; and is there a greater honour or happiness than this?

How ungrateful a thing then must it be if those who have this dignity and felicity should degrade and debase themselves by mingling with unbelievers! Christ and Belial are contrary one to the other; they have opposite interests and designs, so that it is impossible there should be any concord or agreement between them.

Undeniably, the Bible commands us not to have fellowship with unbelievers.

There is not one verse in the Bible that commands us to bring unholy sinners into the holy sanctuary for fellowship.

The Bible in plain and simple language commands us...

Be ye separate.

Diverse False Bible Translations

Another way communists divide the church is to demand we use different “translations” of the Bible. Don’t be deceived. All translations do not translate one language to another. Some translations are personal interpretations: interpreting verses based on preferred beliefs and practices.

Put another way, true Bible translators express the true sense of words in one language by equivalent words in another. But false Bible “translators” are interpreters or committees of interpreters paraphrasing the content in their own words to authorize their false beliefs without truthful accuracy or integrity of the text. They will interpret the text to make it personally correct or politically correct. And sometimes they leave out portions of a verse, or entire verses. For example, we are told dynamic and formal equivalence translations are more accurate than the King James Version. Some promoting this lie are the NASB, ESV, NIV, NLT, and The Message. The translators of these “Bibles” were not God-fearing men inspired by the Holy Spirit. The truth is dynamic and formal equivalence “translations” are interpretations based on Catholic Bibles. Dynamic texts use words and structures preferred by their “translators” and audience rather than a word for word translation. The vocabulary, grammar structure and idioms of the source text will not be preserved. The true Gospel is not preserved. The true Gospel is corrupted.

Listen...

Unholy men produce unholy translations.

The intent of this article is not to be a scholarly analysis of the false translations. Many writers have already done this. However, there is one Biblical test of translations: “Ye shall know them by their fruits.”

Matthew 7:15-23 can be applied to Bible translators and interpreters:

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

False prophets are false teachers.

And false teachers include false translators and false interpreters that produce false Bibles.

Bible translators must not invent a new Gospel, but rightly divide the gospel that is committed to their trust.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God,

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

Corrupt translators do not rightly divide the word of truth.

Corrupt men produce corrupt translations.

When false “translators” corrupt the Bible, they corrupt doctrines. For example, the English Standard Version (ESV), New International Version (NIV), New American Standard Bible (NASB), and New King James Version (NKJV) all diminish the deity of Christ. And the fruits of false doctrines are false Christians.

Today, many Evangelicals trash their King James Bible and favor progressive – communist – translations. Why do they hate and reject the King James Bible? Is it because the Holy Spirit inspired the translators of the King James Bible; and the King James Bible has transformed more hearts and minds and lives than any other book in history? No wonder false Christians – including religious communists and other progressives – and infidels hate and reject the King James Bible: it is the greatest book in history.

And beware of not only false translations, but also corrupt interpretations!

For example, Jimmy Swaggart’s The Expositor’s Study Bible is blasphemy: Christ’s words are printed in black and Swaggart’s comments are printed in red to give them equal authority with Christ’s words. (See "Jimmy Swaggart's Perverted Gospel: The Expositor's Study Bible")

http://www.libertyadvocate.com/swaggart's%20perverted%20gospel.htm

False translations and corrupt interpretations divide the church.

Don't be deceived. There can never be unity in the church by including false translations and false interpretations teaching devilish doctrines.

In Philippians 2:2 we are called to be of one accord:

Fulfil ye my joy,
that ye be like-minded,

having the same love,

being of one accord,

of one mind.

Inclusion?

Diversity?

The Bible commands us to be "of one accord, of one mind."

Equity: Redistribution of Wealth

Now let’s talk about equity in the church...

Equity and equality overlap in the church.

Equity is being just, impartial, and fair - righteous judgment.

Equality means having the same status, privileges, or rights.

Free Love: Rewarding Whoredom

Equity is defined in the church as being equal. This is communist propaganda. Marxists believe that, to achieve equity, some people must be treated unequally. For example, those who are morally responsible must pay for those who are morally irresponsible. To illustrate, many professing Christians live in sin and have children out of wedlock so they can get welfare – church and state. The father does not financially support his children. Tithepayers and taxpayers do. We do because communists believe community of property also advocates community of wives.

Communists attack marriage and advocate promiscuous sex because they regard a wife as being a mere item among the goods and chattels of her husband. Monogamy is mere exclusive possession on the part of one man of a piece of property which ought to be for the benefit of the public. In other words, there is no intrinsic difference between property in persons and property in things. The same spirit which abolished exclusiveness in regard to money abolishes exclusiveness in regard to women.

Therefore, communists brutalize the purest feelings of domestic life. Communists in the church don't forbid marriage, they ridicule it as old-fashioned. The communist tone in many churches is set against marriage as evidenced by their refusal to rebuke unwed parents.

Of course, communists work hard to destroy the family because it is ordained by God. Marriage of a man and woman is a divine institution. Children must be a result of marriage - not out of wedlock. This is the Biblical plan for the family. But by destroying the family and making the church and community responsible for supplying the needs of those who rebel against God's law of matrimony, communists indoctrinate congregants in their doctrine of social justice - redistribution of wealth.

Nowhere does the Bible command or suggest the church is responsible for providing money or assistance to whores and whoremongers to live at the same prosperity level as God-fearing married parents who are working hard to provide for their own. But we are responsible for instructing them to walk in the paths of righteous – walk down the aisle of matrimony.

However, Communist Evangelicals wink at fornication and believe those living in sin should live as well as Godly families. They offer them free food, financial assistance to pay utility bills, and so forth. In other words, the tithes and offerings of God-fearing Biblical families is used to support fornicators who refuse to live in holy matrimony: rental/utility assistance, food pantries, childcare, and so forth. This is rewarding whoredom. This is redistribution of wealth.

According to communists, the inequalities and rivalries between unbiblical and Biblical families are to cease, because all will be provided for by the state.

Free Food: Rewarding Laziness and Other Sin

Equity means equality of outcome with unearned income – church and state welfare. This is sharing the wealth.

The plan is for the church to manage and control the people - a return to serfdom and the seizing of your wealth – and redistribute it among the congregation and community.

For example, many churches focus on feeding bums (politically correct “homeless”) and providing food pantries for those who spend their money on lottery tickets and other gambling, energy drinks, expensive vehicles and technology, tattoos, drugs, booze, cigarettes/vaping, entertainment, and other wasteful and sinful spending. No discretion is allowed in charitable giving because we are warned, “Don’t judge.” We must redistribute our money to anyone and everyone disregarding the Biblical command not to feed the lazy; and ignore Biblical guidelines for supporting individuals, including widows.

The Bible in plain and simple language advises against undeserving charity. In a letter to Timothy addressing the Church’s duty to support widows, the apostle Paul explains the Church should give money to deserving widows only. And he specifies the qualifications: First, the widow should be elderly and not young enough to work. Second, she must not have been married numerous times. Third, she must be known for her good works. Paul admonishes Timothy to turn away young widows because their idleness will lead to no good – busybodies and tattlers. And, if the widow has living relatives they are to support the widow – not the Church! “If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed" (I Timothy 5:4,16). In other words, if a person is in financial need, it is the responsibility of their family to help them, not the Church! Of course, their family will know how and why they are in financial need: laziness, drugs, medical emergency, etc. The person’s family is better qualified to judge if financial assistance should be given.

So, who is deserving of charity? According to Paul, the elderly widow who meets the qualifications set forth in his letter to Timothy is deserving of our charity. And the Bible tells us orphans are deserving of our charity (James 1:27). Also, when we meet a man or woman who claims to be in need, we must pray for discernment.

Listen...

Nowhere does the Bible command us to give charity to the undeserving. Of course, anyone who professes to be a Christian is forbidden to live off welfare – living off the work of others. “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” (I Timothy 5:8). The Bible declares that if any man refuses to work and provide for his family, he is worse than an infidel!

But we have been hoodwinked into believing that our “good works” of handing out undeserving charity makes us righteous. Some call communist redistribution of wealth “social justice.” It is not social justice; it is social injustice. It is robbing those who work so the self-righteous can unjustly comfort and encourage the lazy. Again, this is social injustice. The Bible commands in plain and simple words: “this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat” (II Thessalonians 3:10-12).

But progressive Christianity – Communist “Christianity” - preaches social justice. And social justice demands a classless society – a commune: a group of people living together and sharing possessions, including sharing women (anti-marriage/pro-promiscuity) and sharing money (food stamps, food banks, affordable housing, free healthcare, and so forth). All of these are redistribution of wealth – communism. Redistribution of wealth is a strategy to do away with social classes. Communists demand a classless society. So, we must give to the undeserving “poor” and dress down to abolish outward social economic differences. Jeans and other casual dress are the uniform of the communist church to give the appearance of being equal.

Communists in the Evangelical Church: Jim Jones and Rick Warren

Communism in the Evangelical church is not new.

Communism infiltrated the church a long time ago...

Cult leader Jim Jones was bewitched by communism and purposed in his heart to demonstrate his love for Marxism. In his own words, Jones’ explained in a biographical recording…“I decided, how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church. So I consciously made a decision to look into that prospect.”

Surprisingly, a Methodist superintendent welcomed Jones into the church with full knowledge Jones was a communist.

Then in 1956, Jones opened his first Pentecostal church and named it Wings of Deliverance. But later that year he renamed it the Peoples Temple Full Gospel Church. To increase publicity, the Temple organized large religious “conventions” with other Pentecostals to disguise the fact that he was using religion to further social goals, not preach the true Gospel. The Temple stressed egalitarian ideals, asking members to attend in casual clothes under the guise that poor members would not feel out of place. Well, my grandparents were poor traveling evangelists, but they had church clothes - their Sunday best. And so did other poor church folks. Jones was just using a lie - so poor members would not feel out of place - to advocate a classless communist church.

Many years ago, Communist Rick Warren started preaching his communist propaganda asking members to wear casual clothes supposedly to make church welcoming to sinners. But his true purpose was to stress egalitarian ideals. If we all dress down, it is a step toward a classless community. Not just a classless economic society, but also a classless cultural community.

Whether Rick Warren was a communist before going to seminary is unclear. Possibly he was indoctrinated with communist ideology in seminary. But, like Jones, he purposed in his heart to demonstrate his love for communism by infiltrating religion.

Surprisingly, the once conservative Southern Baptist Convention, Assemblies of God, Church of God, and other Evangelicals welcomed Warren with open arms and knowingly or unknowingly embraced religious communism.

Also, Jim Jones provided shelter for the “needy.”

And Rick Warren stresses good works such as helping the needy in his diabolical PEACE plan.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing know the best way to prey on professing Christians is to get them to idolize them for their humanitarian works.

In 1959, Jones’ church joined the Disciples of Christ, and was renamed the Peoples Temple Christian Church Full Gospel. And in the same year, Jones began his “us versus them” message. And he carefully wove in the message that the Temple’s home for senior citizens was established on the basis of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” quoting Karl Marx’s “Critique of the Gotha Program.” He knew that Christians would recognize the similarities with Acts 4:34,35 stating, “distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Jones repeatedly cited that Scripture to paint Jesus Christ as a communist, while at the same time attacking much of the text of the Bible.

In 1960, the Temple opened a soup kitchen for the poor, and expanded their social services to include rent assistance, job placement services, free canned goods, clothing and coal for winter heating. Later, Jones and his church were praised for aiding the cities’ poorest citizens, drug addicts, and the homeless. The Temple established strong connections to the California state welfare system.

In the 70s, the Temple owned and ran nine residential care homes for the elderly, six homes for foster children, and a state-licensed 40-acre ranch for developmentally disabled persons. And the Temple’s public profile was further elevated when Jones was appointed to the Indianapolis Human Rights Commission.

Are you beginning to see the infiltration of the social gospel of communism in the Evangelical church?

Are you beginning to see the numerous similarities between Jim Jones and Rick Warren?

Just as Hitlerism was outlined in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, Warrenism is outlined in Warren’s PEACE plan.

Basically, Warrenism is the abolition of poverty, unemployment and social classes, and the sharing of all the wealth of the world community. This is to be achieved by ensuring an adequate minimum for all, and to limit within reasonable bounds the degree of inequality above this minimum. A minimum standard of living – hence, global government welfare where the productive nations, such as the United States, provide for the lazy persons and lazy nations – the “needy.” Warrenism’s communist manifesto is his PEACE plan.

In his manifesto, Warren maps out his evolutionary plan from a class to a classless society; from a national citizen to a global citizen, from individual responsibility to communal responsibility. And his purpose-driven communist propaganda is the vehicle for social change, and followers are his “change agents.”

Warrenist propaganda has been, above all, an attempt to bring the organized church over to a faith in communism, to permeate the churches with communist ideas, and to create a New Church Order of communist doctrines.

Jim Jones wrote a booklet “The Letter Killeth” pointing out the contradictions, absurdities, and atrocities in the Bible, but also stating the Bible contained great truths. Jones preached that the “Divine Principle” equated with love, and love was equated with socialism.

Warren's Purpose Driven Life, Purpose Driven Church, and global PEACE plan use countless corrupted Bible versions to deny sound doctrines and support communist doctrines. Warren preaches love, and love is equated with globalism. Warren's writings are communist propaganda of mind control and behavior modification disguised as Christian teaching.

In sum, like Jim Jones, Warren realized the way to achieve social change in America was to mobilize the people through religion. And Warrenism is a cult with an overtly political message of global communism. Like Jim Jones, Rick Warren has beguiled and bewitched many professing Christians into blindly joining his cult of religious communism disguised as Christianity. Jones did not reveal his gospel was actually communism until the late 1960s. Now is the time for Rick Warren to openly admit his social gospel is actually Global Communism.

Beware of Evangelical communism!
