There is Christianity, and there is Christendom.
In its historical sense, the term usually refers to the medieval and early modern period, during which the Christian world represented a geopolitical power juxtaposed with both the pagan and especially the Muslim world.
Very few Evangelical or Baptists churches belong to the N.C.C., belonging rather to an Evangelical organization.
The N.C.C. (National Council of Churches) has consistently propagandized for every conceivable Leftist program, from federally forced integration to complete disarmament of the United States. From its office in Washington, D.C., the National Council's spokesmen regularly appear before Committees of Congress to lobby for the causes of the Far Left, though the National Council has never registered under the Lobbying Act of 1946.
And, despite its having been repeatedly exposed as a fraud the N.C.C. has somehow continued to maintain not only its reputation for legitimacy, but its tax-exempt status as well. It is very well shielded indeed, and rooted in a conspiracy against Christianity in America which goes back more than eighty years.
A full decade before the turn of the century, the seeds of the Marxist "social gospel" were already being planted within our major seminaries and divinity schools by returning American theologians who had studied in England and Germany. There they had become infected with the virus of a Conspiracy which had already changed much of the spiritual and moral structure of Europe.
Claiming to speak with authority for some 42 million American Christians, the National Council of the Churches of Christ (N.C.C.) includes thirty-three denominations representing many of the mainline Protestant and Orthodox Churches in the United States. In addition, more than a score of denominations not actually members of the N.C.C. have participated actively in its radical programs.
Headquartered at 475 Riverside Drive in New York City, the National Council functions through dozens of interlocking departments, grouped under four major divisions, overseeing the N.C.C.'s international operations. The program is of such magnitude that as far back as 1968, alone, the National Council of Churches expended over $19 million on a worldwide network of Leftist projects. In that year, however, the N.C.C. collected $24,819,000 from gullible American Christians and tax-exempt Leftist foundations.
The National Council of Churches is an active participating member of the openly apostate World Council of Churches, a worldwide inter-church organization founded in 1948.
The World Council of Churches has, for many years taken an adversarial position against the state of Israel. It has also been claimed the Council of Churches has focused particularly on activities and publications criticizing Israel, while ignoring the human rights issues accusations against countries ruled by tyrants and dictators.
It is similarly true that it downplayed appeals from Egyptian Christian Copts about human rights abuses they suffered under Sadat and Mubarak, in order to focus on its neighbour, Israel.
In 2009, the Council called for an international boycott on goods produced in Israeli settlements, which it described as 'illegal, unjust' and 'incompatible with peace'. In 2013, the General Secretary was reported to claim in Cairo, "We support the Palestinians. The WCC supports the Palestinians, because we believe they are in the right."
The WCC's Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) has been fairly criticised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews for promoting "an inflammatory and partisan programme at the expense of its interfaith relations."
This organization claims to focus on Justice, Peace and Creation and have drawn many elements together with an environmental focus.
Rather than the fulfillment of the Great Commission given us by Jesus Christ, which is to go into all the world and preach the gospel, they believe their mandate is:
To analyze and reflect on justice, peace and creation in their interrelatedness, to promote values and practices that make for a culture of peace, and to work towards a culture of solidarity with young people, women, Indigenous Peoples and racially and ethnically oppressed people.
Focal issues have been globalization and the emergence of new social movements
(in terms of people bonding together in the struggle for justice, peace, and the protection of creation - Environmentalism).
Attention has been given to issues around:
economy
environment
Indigenous Peoples
peace
people with disabilities
racism
women
youth
One of the largest Christian bodies, the Roman Catholic Church, is not a member of the WCC.
The beginning of true liberty is Jesus Christ. And therefore the first and last target of all subversion is biblical faith. Hence it is that the Church has been the first target of infiltration and subversion; and is the most subverted institution in the United States today.
