Hillary’s Pastor Caught Plagiarizing

Hillary Clinton’s “spiritual advisor” Rev. Dr. Bill Shillady had his recent book, “Strong For A Moment Like This: The Daily Devotions of Hillary Rodham Clinton,” pulled from the shelves after it was discovered he had lifted extensively from others without attribution.

Rev. Dr. Shillady is the Executive Director of the United Methodist City Society, in New York, NY.

  1. I will never, ever understand any “religion” that accepts and supports abortion. Or any “religion” that VOTES for politicians who accept and support abortion. Pleased to say it’s beyond my ken.

  2. 1st only Gods name is holy and reverend . 2nd he stole other peoples work- therefore breaking another commandment- thou shalt not steal. could go on- but this guy needs to give it up before the Lord strikes him down…… have a nice day. 🙂

  3. He’s also from the United Methodist Church, enough said. Probably the most worthless liberal church out there supposedly preaching the anti gospel of anything but the truth about Christianity. I just don’t understand how all these supposedly good, moderate Christians can support abortion as much as they do, they have an unfullfilled death wish. John Wesley is rolling over in his grave crying over his beloved Church that he founded.

  4. It sounds more like birds of a feather than “Spiritual advisor”. He could have bought a degree from a correspondence school. The first thing a real spiritual advisor would tell her is to repent of her wicked ways.

  5. “The simple question is: what ever happened to the man of God? What ever happened to the man of God who is known as a man of prayer, as a man of deep understanding of Scripture, who is known as a Bible teacher, who is known as a godly man whose life is a pattern to follow, who is a discipler of others, who’s a builder of spiritual leaders? And even going deeper into the issue, whatever happened to the understanding of the church as the body of Christ over which Christ is the head who Himself as the Lord of the church has already defined the ministry of the church and the content for that ministry and the leadership for that ministry and how that leadership is to function? It just seems as if we’ve pushed aside the biblical model. We’ve pushed aside the man of God”.

    So many pastors succumb to this temptation – and it’s so easy to do so.

    There are so many websites out there with sermons, messages, and ideas that it’s really good resource – HOWEVER attribution must be made.

    This is so sad because using other’s words in devotions and sermons is the highest form of flattery there can be as long as you mention it.

    My sermons contain at least several quotes on a good day – all done the right way. It takes work.

    “What ever happened to the man of God?”

    1) We live in age of big church, big following, big name recognition.

    2) We live in the day that the progressive denominations own their pastors views/compliance thru pensions and church placements. If you don’t toe the corporate ideology (on gays, politics, marriage, abortion, and such) you in trouble.

    Most progressive/liberal denominations are (in order): Episcopalians, then United Church of (& Disciples) of Christ, then American Baptist, Presbyterians, the EL(Lutherans)CA, and then the Methodists.

    The Methodists have been pretty much the last to cave on issues of ordaining gays as pastors and stuff. More often then not a church will claim it’s social justice standard by saying (coded words ahead) “Open and affirming” or just stress the word “open.” The Unitarians have always been pretty much “open” all along.

    Most religious communities are experiencing this type of “hidden warfare.”

    If you want to research this then google “Nashville Statement” and/or “Christians United.”

    This is why I feel the best Pastors out there are the independent or self-reliant one not beholden to anyone but God and Jesus Christ.

    I don’t know about “most.” (Not a cowardly accusation. I really wouldn’t even know where to look for the numbers. Goolag?) But the “religious communities” (and there are more than one) that I know that are not “of the world” all have one thing in common. They are anti-evangelical. Not against Evangelicals (though they might be, again I don’t know). Rather, evangelizing is explicitly something they are forbidden to do. When you can’t put up a sign (or a tweet) saying “Look! How Good I am!” it seems much easier to keep to one’s principles, even at the expense of one’s popularity.

  9. Most of the churches have lost it since the so called Social Gospel began to be preached back during the Progressive era 100 years or so ago and especially since the New Deal under FDR has practically made govt. to be the only God and ruler while the mainstream churches both Protestant and Catholic have allowed the govt. to usurp it’s power and authority to rule and dictate what is right and what is wrong. I was part of a mega church in the 90’s and also went through Charismania where we forgot about grace and relied on ourselves and forgot God or thought we knew better than God. Fortunately it imploded about 2004 and we are now a much smaller, more sane more Christ centered church than we were and I more happy now than I have been in a long time since it’s not about us or what we can do for God but what God has done to save a bunch of unworthy knuckleheads like me. I don’t miss mega church mania nor charismania one bit.

  10. The word “Evangelical” has been usurped just as “conservative” or “right wing” has been.

    Christianity is actually about telling people how “wrong” you are in your desires and thoughts and actions and how believing and living to a “way of life” can put you onto a path that leads to reconciliation with your creator.

    I admit that even though I have 3 advanced degrees (Divinity/Ministry), have been ordained for over 25 years, and have seen the hand of God in many daily parts of my life I am still no better than anyone else (and will actually have a harsher judgment than most) in our world except for one thing: God sent His only unique Son to die for me (and everyone) so that we may all have eternal life. You just have to believe in your heart and do with your hands, feet, and brain.

    I’m done. I have said what I want to. Thanks for listening.
