Evangelicals And Muslims
Shoulder-To-Shoulder
Fuller Theological Seminary – National Association Of Evangelicals

A Very Necessary Introduction
There is absolutely no divine element in the Koran but there clearly is an element of darkness. As for this writer, when reading the Koran, a very harsh voice is heard – very comfortless, and very, very chilling in the language. Dare I say, I am not the least bit frightened by this voice because I am prepared, in Jesus’ mighty name, to do spiritual battle with the power of darkness that is behind that voice. Believe me, I had to do warfare to complete this message.
Church, Satan did not want this Apostate Alert to go out to you but by the grace of God, here it is. You can believe this little blurb on the demonic hindrances to keep this Apostate Alert from being published or you can not believe it, but God is my witness, it is very true and ought to serve notice to you how spiritually important it is that you take this to heart. Please don’t think for one moment that it was God trying to stop me from doing this because it was against His will. No, no, that was not the case. God guided me every step and had His hand of protection about me which is why I wasn’t afraid to write what was placed in my spirit as a warning to The Church.
(1) Huge and very black flies would appear in my dwelling place from out of nowhere. I could be looking at a spot and a fly would just appear. I heard the puppy barking and when I looked to see what she was barking at, it was one of those flies on the wall. Like some of them would appear before your very eyes, they would disappear. Others, I sprayed or swatted, but they continued to appear. A check was made all around the dwelling – inside and outside, but nothing was seen that looked like larvae from which they could have hatched. On Sabbath three of us had to do spiritual warfare because we knew the source of those flies and why. The Lord had impressed upon me why the invasion and it was all about this Apostate Alert. (2) I was having all sorts of aches in my body which I bound and loosed and pled the blood of Jesus, and needless to say, they all went away. (3) Days in to completing the Alert, as I’d be reading over the message, my vision seemed to get dimmer and dimmer as I read. Once again, I knew it was a demonic attack and in Jesus’ name, I bound it up and pled the blood of Jesus. It went away. (4) As I was doing the next to the last draft on the computer, the screen began is bob up and down, and I’m saying to myself, “this monitor can’t go out, I’ve got to finish this.” Then I realized, the attack wasn’t over. So, I bound and loosed the enemy once again and pled the blood of Jesus and it stopped.
Another note of interest, in the hallway leading to the bedrooms are two bookshelves that belong to someone else. These shelves contain secular books which I don’t read and never bothered to even see what was on those shelves. At one point as we were going throughout the place purging each room of Satan’s little demons, my eyes locked in on the paperback book, Lord of the Flies, (Beelzebub) and that hit me like a ton of bricks. This was confirmation that demonic forces were behind all of the abnormal activity and it had to do with this Apostate Alert that you are about to read. The owner of the bookshelves was in shock as well because the statement was made, “I know I got rid of that book when I got rid of all my Shakespeare,” and it was immediately taken out to the trash.
The glory is to The Lord God Almighty for the completion and publishing of this Apostate Alert! Now on to the message.
About Allah’s Koran
Sure, the Koran makes references to the creator, Jesus, Mary, Job, John the Baptist, Joseph, Gabriel, Michael, Moses, David and Goliath, Adam, Cain and Abel, Zachariah and a whole host of others that are listed in the Bible, but without a doubt, the information given certainly was not directly a revelation from the God of the Christian Bible. Without a doubt, the One True God who sits in the Heaven of Heavens is not the revelator of the Koran. Muslims may believe in one god but they just happened to have chosen the wrong one to be that “one god.” Saints, the True God of Christianity is not an imposter or a god with a thousand faces. Praise God for that! Praise Him also that evil and good both can’t stream forth from His being or else He wouldn’t be holy – sitting in the holy temple saying that He is holy.
The Koran is very cleverly phrased. It is written as though what is being said is not a new thing or new message, but is a corrective – as though it’s correcting or making adjustments to the message that is in the Christian Bible (Old and New Testaments). The Koran is clever in the way it points out that the job given by God to Jews and Christians wasn’t carried out correctly in their living out God’s Word and evangelizing the Word of God, but here and now Islam is doing it right – as if to say Islam truly represents the One True God of all creation. What deceit! What a lie!
The Koran says:
Bible-belief is lies:
Only they invent falsehood who believe not Allah's revelations, and (only) they are the liars (Surah 16:105).
Holy Spirit delivered the Koran:
Say: The holy Spirit hath delivered it from thy Lord with truth, that it may confirm (the faith of) those who believe, and as guidance and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah) (Surah 16:102).
God had no son:
Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they [Christians] allege (Surah 23:91).
Don’t follow Jews and Christians:
And they say: Be Jews or Christians, then ye will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Nay, but (we follow) the religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the idolaters (Surah 2:135).
And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! The guidance of Allah (Himself) is guidance. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting guardian nor helper (Surah 2:120).
O ye who believe! If ye obey a party of those who have received the Scripture they will make you disbelievers after your belief (Surah 3:100).
Jesus never died on the cross:
And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain (Surah 4:157).
Man doesn’t sin against God:
Whoso committeth sin committeth it only against himself. Allah is ever Knower, Wise (Surah 4:111).
Church, this could go on forever but there is neither time nor space to continue. The bottom line is, Islam’s Koran made the True God to be a liar by teaching that God has no Son when God taught us that Jesus is His only begotten Son (John 3:16). Since Muslims don’t confess Jesus to be God’s Son, then God, the Christian God, is not with those practicing the Islamic faith (I John 4:15). If Muslims are not with Christians why are evangelicals Christians attempting to launch a relationship with Muslins? Why is it so necessary for Christians to understand, respect, and accept Islam in a way other than what it portrays? It’s wrong! It’s apostasy! It is sin! It is one thing to be at peace with Muslims with them going their way and Christians going their way, but to accept Islam and Muslims as a bona fide believer in the same God as Jews and Christians would be of far-reaching consequences.
Fuller Theological Seminary And Islam
In December 2003, Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California (leading evangelical seminary) received close to a million dollars in grant money from the United States Department of Justice for a two-year interfaith conflict resolution project. Out of this project Fuller is to produce a code of ethics and training that will teach Christian and Muslim religious leaders to (1) not make offensive statements about each other’s faith; (2) corroborate their belief in the same God; and (3) not proselytize one another.
1. Not make offensive statements about each other’s faith:
“True” Christianity, always when spoken is offensive to those of another faith or of no faith at all. Christianity is offensive because it is TRUTH and truth cuts to the core. If one is not spiritually lured to Christianity, they will be highly offended and remain apart – divided. Christianity intentionally causes division by the mere fact that it is truth. Jesus and this way of life, that being Christianity, causes division. It causes division because it is an uncompromising religious conviction come what may. That’s why the unrighteous or those outside of this way of life hate Christianity and will even more so in days to come. Jesus said…
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but
rather division:
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against
the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter,
and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her
daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law
(Luke 12:51-53).
Fellow Christians, this division begins in one’s own household and spreads
outward into the world to include the false religion of Islam. Therefore,
Christians don’t need to build bridges of peace with Muslims through
understanding and dialoguing with them. All professing Christians
have to do is strive toward being True Believers, who are naturally at
peace with all and recognize Islam for what it is: anti-Christ; a religion
built upon force, destruction, and self-righteous deeds (five pillars of
Islam: faith, prayer, helping the needy, fasting, self-pilgrimage) all of
which are “as filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6).
2. Corroborate their belief in the same God:
For Christians and Muslims to corroborate their belief in the same god is to say that the Christian God is some type of twisted character with a dual personality whereby He is at the same time the same person of The God of Christianity and Allah the god of Islam. The name God, which is His character or His attributes, means: Spirit • Eternal • Omniscient • Omnipresent • Omnipotent • Sovereign • Love • Word • Holy • Immutable • Good • Peace • Glory • Creator of all • Intimate • Just • Righteous • Merciful • Forgiving • Joy • Longsuffering • Wonderful • Faithful • Truthful • Wisdom • Power • Might • Savior • Just • Provider • Healer • Counselor • Comforter • Instructor • Deliverer • Banner • Shield • Warrior, and much, much more. As we Christians study The Bible, we understand and personally experience all of the above characteristics and lots more of what is written about the Christian God – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.
Saints, there is no twisted little game going on in the Heaven of Heavens whereby God The Father is the same as Islam’s “god” Allah – seemingly with two distinct personalities but yet being one and the same. The Christian God and Allah the god of Islam are not identical in attributes. When you think about “them” having the same attributes or qualities you think of “THEM” being God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Ghost, but certainly not Allah. Allah makes a lot of claims as the God of Christianity does, but they are quite unalike in all ways.
The True God never forces any human being to come to Him; whereas Islam does so under the threat of bodily harm and that same threat applies to those wanting to leave Islam. There is no denying that Islam is a religion of force. It is very hostile, thus not at all friendly or peace-loving as some would have you believe. It is not a religion of peace because you come across some rather restrained Muslims. They may be quiet and seemingly peaceful but the “religious blood” that runs through their veins is of the same type that runs through the veins of the openly violent ones. They will stand together for the cause whatever it may be because of the teachings in the Koran against the unbelievers of Islam – the rest of the world, that is. If by chance a so-called restrained Muslim openingly condemns the atrocities the very violent Muslims commit, then they’re not adhering to their faith but are talking trash to appease the opposition and save their own skin. They will, however, not leave the faith out of fear of being murdered. Islam is combative; it is violent, and it has to be if it is to triumph over other religions. The authorization is in the Koran.
He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail [overcome by force/overpower] over all religion [Judiaism/Christianity especially], however much the idolaters may be averse [reluctant or unwilling to submit] (Surah 9:33).
Tell me now, how can the
Christian God and the Muslim god be the same? Please, again, to
accept as true that Christians and Muslims believe in the same god says
that the Christian God indeed has a dual personality that causes him to
switch roles. Switching roles is duplicity; duplicity is deceit; deceit is
to lie; and the Christian God cannot lie; for He is TRUTH.
If Allah is
God, what has He created? What’s his claim-to-fame? What has
he done? Where are his miracles? Believe it or not, in Allah’s
Koran, he lays claim to practically all of God’s attributes and creations
but the distinction being that the God in the Bible manifests Himself
throughout The Bible and in every way is backed up. Allah, in the
Koran, is simply stating claim half-heartedly or apathetically because he
is an imposter. Allah that is, is claiming to have created everything in
insubstantial statements such as:
And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us (Surah 50:38).
Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds (Surah 41:9).
Then He ordained them seven heavens [Jewish pseudepigrapha teaching from the book of Enoch] in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower (Surah 41:12).
And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered (Surah 15:28).
Now which is correct, two days or six days he created heaven? Speaking of Heaven, Islam’s concept of heaven being that of all the alcohol and sex with virgins (72 of them) places heaven on the level of “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.” Very carnal! Whereas the Heaven of Heavens where the God of Christians sits is the holiest of holies – the throne of God with no earthly elements whatsoever in His presence. For Christians, Heaven is the presence of The Lord where there is perfect peace and no place for carnality. In the presence of The Lord there will be no desire for alcohol, sex, money, food, and the likes. Some points to consider, if nothing else: With all the works (e.g., creation, Adam, the Holy Spirit, etc.,) Allah claims in the Koran that are so similar to the Christian God, they are not as descriptive and personal as those in The Bible. The Psalmist says in the Word of God…
Among the gods [e.g., Allah] there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works (Psalm 86:8).
How can you not see conflict in the very nature of Allah and the God of the Bible. As Christians, you believe you have the truth in God’s Word. If Allah is the same as the Christian God, why would God teach in the Koran something quite different from what is taught in the Bible? Speaking of, what happened to the Ten Commandments in the Koran? Why aren’t they there? The Ten Commandments are the cornerstone of God’s Word but yet goes a missing from the Koran.
As said before, such comparatives could go on and on and on but what would be the point being that the Christian God would never speak out of both sides of His mouth by instructing one thing to Christians and another to Muslims. Allah says that he is forgiving, mighty, merciful, and the whole-nine-yards to make you believe he is the One True God, but the fact that he recommends his followers to execute vengeance instead of forgiveness is just one of many traits that sets him way apart and beneath the God of the Christians.
And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may ward off (evil) (Surah 2:179).
That (is so). And whoso hath retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer and then hath (again) been wronged, Allah will succour him. Lo! Allah verily is Mild, Forgiving (Surah 22:60).
The God of Christianity says vengeance is His.
To me
belongeth vengeance, and recompence… (Deuteronomy 32:35).
O LORD
God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew
thyself (Psalm 94:1).
For we
know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense,
saith the Lord (Hebrews 10:30).
Knowing all of this why would Fuller Seminary even want to touch on the above second point of corroborating belief in the same God? They are in no way the same god. Apostasy, that’s what it is. Last days church out of control.
3. Not proselytize one another:
Don’t proselytize one another, instead “build bridges” so that “we’re all one big happy family” and going to hell. Peace! Love! Brothers and sisters! Yeah, sure. While the silly Christians go about “peacing” and “loving” and building bridges with Muslims, Muslims are shrewdly working on their acceptance of them as righteous and holy living people all sharing the same god, thusly producing a compromised weak version of Christianity that is ripe for Islamic conversion. Islam’s mandate is to conquer the world – make everybody a Muslim. That will never happen though; Islam doesn’t fit the mold of One World Religion headship for the global community that is fast taking shape. (Thanks to so-called Christian organizations such as Fuller Theological Seminary and the National Association of Evangelicals, Islam is going forward without much difficulty.)
Muslims need to be proselytized because they are not holy people in heart, even though Allah claims to be the one true and sovereign god who doesn’t require holiness of Muslims as does the Christian God. The God of the Christians categorically states He’s holy and that holiness is required of His followers. Holiness is the very nature of the Christian God but not so with Allah. How can they be the same god? They aren’t! How can Christians put on hold proselytizing Muslims for the sake of ecumenism?
The National Association Of Evangelicals
Support Islam
In May 2003, leaders in the National Association of
Evangelicals (NAE) representing approximately 50 denominations, met to
rebuke outspoken anti-Islam preachers and to propose guidelines for
churches to follow in relating to Muslims. They decided to do
this because they believed the (truthful) remarks that were previously
spoken against Islam by Jerry Falwell, Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, and
Jerry Vines were as they put it, “dangerous and unhelpful.” Those remarks
in a nutshell were: Falwell said that Muhammad was a
terrorist; Graham said that Islam is a wicked and evil religion;
Robertson said that Islam was not a peaceful religion and only
coexists until they can control or dominate, and then destroy you if need
be; Vines said that Muhammed was a demon-possessed pedophile
for marrying a 6-year-old and then consummating the marriage when she was
only 9-years-old. (The first three of these gentlemen have since somewhat
recanted by making their words “more palatable,” in other words, they
softened their blow of truth about Islam.) As said before,
these remarks are considered dangerous and unhelpful by the Evangelical
leaders, but how so? These weaklings! They don’t want to rock
the boat. For the words of truth spoken by these men, the NAE
rebuked them as a means of safeguarding missionaries and indigenous
Christians in predominantly Muslim countries. Please!
Leaders in
the NAE have called upon Church leaders to stop making broad statements
about Islam that angers practicing Muslims basically because they feel it
endangers the work of overseas missionaries. Okay, so this must mean
that if someone, whether in the media or not, should ask your opinion of
Islam, you are to keep your mouth shut. What has Christianity come
to? Apostate! Please, there is grave danger in being a
missionary, yes. There is even growing danger in being a Christian.
Those are poor excuses for not speaking the truth about Islam when the
need arises just because of the danger in which it places missionaries.
What “hen-hearted” Christians. Jesus did say that His Church will be
persecuted as He was, didn’t He? You bet He did. After hearing from
these Evangelicals and also seeing how mounting pressure on Falwell,
Graham, and Robertson brought them to contriteness with respect to what
they’d spoken, one is left to believe that they’re all running scared of
Muslims. They are scared perhaps because they don’t want to
experience suffering perpetrated by a suicide-bomber. They fear suffering.
Yes, that’s what it is, that chilling word called “suffer.” They are
afraid to suffer because they are in apostasy and have not God with
them. They are not spiritually courageous.
Suffer is
another way of saying persecuted or ill-treated, or even martyred. However
it’s defined, it means hostile intent and that scares these people; they
don’t want to die for the sake of the Gospel. After all, it’s these
same Evangelicals who think they’ll be raptured out of this world before
The Great Tribulation. For some mystifying reason, the word suffer
is not in their Evangelical vernacular. Well, it certainly was and
still is in Jesus’ vernacular. In fact, Jesus said, “The servant
[you] is not greater than his lord [Jesus]. If they have
persecuted me [Jesus], they will also persecute you” (John
15:20). He was indeed persecuted and even unto death. Yes,
that’s it, to keep from suffering, you Evangelical leaders begin the
buddying-up talk, or Christian-Muslim dialouging as you call it, and want
to drag every single Christian into your sin. Nowhere is it shown in
the Bible that Jesus was buddying-up to the Pharisees to get them to like
Him or to become as He was. Jesus simply went about His Father’s
business of preaching the truth – the Gospel so that all who had softened
hearts would receive it. But dear people, Jesus did not avoid
conflict with the Pharisees by watching what He said so not to offend
anybody with His truths. If He’d been softening the truth to
avoid conflict, the people wouldn’t have wanted to stone Him to death for
what He was saying. Jesus did not hold back the truth, but today’s
Church operates just the opposite by wanting to dialogue with Muslims so
not to offend them with truth, and that grieves The Lord. He is
sick of you.
Just about a year after the NAE met on toning-down their criticism of Islam and to instead have positive dialogue with those of the Islamic faith, they began to break down those so-called hostile images without proselytizing the Muslims. They are doing that by going to the North African country of Morocco and putting on a Christian music festival; providing medical and dental teams for free clinics through Operation Serve International; and holding theological exchange conferences. This of course came after the February 29 through March 8 visit to Morocco by Richard Cizik (NAE) and eight other delegates. The May 1, 2004 Washington Post story, “Evangelical Christian Leaders Reach Out To Muslims” by Alan Cooperman quoted one of the delegates (Reverend Harry Thomas) as saying…
We don’t want the whole Islamic world to think that a couple of spokesmen [Graham, Vines, Robertson, Falwell], though well-intentioned perhaps, speak for everyone. We’re taught to love people.”
What has love got to do with it? Obedience to God’s Word comes first and thus love for all people is inherent. But by them agreeing to not proselytize people who are lost, they are in rebellion to God’s Word. They are in sin for the sake of appearing “nice guys.” Harry Thomas further stated…
I don’t know anyone who has been won over by hate talk (Ibid.)
Church of Jesus Christ, that was so weak! So pathetic! What a sad day in Christianity. Incidentally, the Reverend Thomas is a Christian music producer so he must have a big part to play in the music festival.
Also in this delegation was Reverend Rob Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council of which some 5,000 clergy are members. Schenck will busy himself coordinating academic and spiritual exchange between Muslim philosophers and Evangelical Christian thinkers. Philosophers? Christian thinkers? Hmmm. Where is God’s Holy Spirit since the “Christian thinkers” have been called to duty? Oh, what does it matter – God’s Holy Spirit would never be in any kind of dialogue with Muslim philosophers except to say “Get thee behind me, Satan.”
Saints, this delegation met with the prime minister, some cabinet members, governors, and top Muslim, Jewish, and Roman Catholic authorities, and without a doubt promised that they would not proselytize. If they hadn’t, Morocco’s ambassador to the United States would have had no basis for saying he was taking them (Evangelicals) at their word. Cizik (NAE) said that what was being done was no scheme for proselytizing. Get this though, Cizik said...
One thing the evangelical members of the delegation agreed on is that any Christian witness in the Muslim world must be a passive type of witness – by our lives, our actions, our disposition (Ibid.).
In other words, absolutely no witnessing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Passive type of witness – by our lives, our actions, our disposition” – that type of witness has the stench of hell. These people have lost the charge of the Great Commission. It’s about ecumenism! It’s about One World Religion and they don’t even realize it. Or do they? This bunch reminds me more of Nevill Chamberlan who went to Nazi Germany to set up a treaty with Hitler, and you know what suffering Germany brought to the English people. Better yet, it reminds me of the non-aggression pact the evil dictator Stalin “signed” with Hitler and Hitler, the Devil, still turned around and invaded Russia. Don’t you people get it? You don’t make deals with the Devil! Get it!
Allah’s Koran
Teaches That Disbelievers Are Not Friends
As Christians, you can never be a Muslim’s friend no matter how it may
look as though they are receiving you.
Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying (Surah 3:28).
O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you (Surah 4:144)?
Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to drive you out, that ye make friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of them - (All) such are wrong- doers (Surah 60:9).
Having read the above Surahs on those who are not friends to Muslims, take a look at the recent case of murder of a 23 year old Jewish man in Houston, Texas by a Muslim whom he thought was his friend. This tragic story shows that bridges really cannot be built between Christians and Muslims, even if the Christian God desired such, and He doesn’t. (Muslims need to be Born Again.) According to HoustonChronicle.com and ArabNews.com reports, 23-year-old Muhammed Ali Alayed, a Saudi National living in Houston, Texas, had become a friend of Ariel Sellouk, also 23, and a Moroccan Jew living in Houston as well. They became friends while studying at the community college. Two years prior to the night of August 6, 2003 murder of Ariel Sellouk, Muhammed had undergone a religious experience as in Islam, thus becoming a devout Muslim at which time he severed his friendship with Ariel Sellouk. Two years after Muhammed’s religious reawakening he called Ariel for a get-together. They met for drinks at a bar and afterward went to Muhammed’s apartment where according to Muhammed’s roommate there had been “no” argument between the two men. Muhammed, with a 4-inch butterfly knife, nearly decapitated Ariel Sellouk who had once been his friend. After the slaying it was reported that Muhammed went to a local mosque. (First, local bar; then local Mosque! Figure that one out if you can.) A clear motive for the slaying was never established therefore leaving one to believe that the gruesome killing was purely for religious differences and the fact that Sellouk was a Jew. After the religious reawakening of Muhammed Ali Alayed, in keeping with Islamic teachings, he did as Surah 60:1 instructs:
O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for allies. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your Lord ? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My good pleasure, (show them not friendship). Do ye show friendship unto them in secret, when I am Best Aware of what ye hide and what ye proclaim ? And whosoever doeth it among you, he verily hath strayed from the right way (Surah 60:1).
After all of that, it simply boiled down to what the Koran instructs the followers of Islam to do – kill the infidels – the apes and swine – the enemies.
Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful (Surah 9:5).
Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture [Jews and Christians] as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low (Surah 9:29).
Those of the Islamic faith you want to respect by not speaking the truth to them about their god, Allah! It is they you have decided to not witness to about the Word of the True God! May The Lord have no mercy upon you apostate Christians. Muslims are not respecting you and never will. You will not be their friend because you are not a Muslim. They will pretend to be your friend to get what they can from you, whether it be medical and dental clinics, education, or siding with them against the Jewish people, but in the end they will turn on you like a “Pitbull.” They will betray you in a “lickety-split” for one of their fellow Muslims whom they might not have ever known as long as they have you. Fuller Seminary, National Association of Evangelicals, and the likes, go ahead, build bridges with Muslims; treat them as though you have the same god as they and see your reward of affliction at the end of the tunnel from the Muslims as well as just judgment from the True God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel – the Christian God.
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end (Surah 9:73).
So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour (Surah 25:52).
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end (Surah 66:9).
According to the Islamic faith you will bust hell wide open. You’re going to bust hell wide open not because of what Islam says, but because you’re not willing to proselytize Muslims. It is time you stopped compromising the faith just to be the “good guy.” Face it, you have an enemy and the name is Allah and the Islamic faith, and you must see them as the enemy because they surely have you pegged as their enemy. So stop the peace-cry and just live your life as it ought to be in Christ Jesus where your real peace is found. Your job is to evangelize and that’s how peace comes about.
Parting words to Fuller Theological Seminary, National Association of Evangelicals, and other such supporters of this wicked act of Islamic-Christian-bridge building, unless you repent of your objective, Surah 98:6 will come to pass in your lives and not because the Koran prophesied it but because God Almighty, The True God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ will cast you off to the left with the goats.
Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings (Surah 98:6).
Muslims believe you to be the absolute worst of human beings, and if a Muslim should say that’s not true then Muslims are liars who think nothing of telling you a lie to your face in the first place.
Dear Christians, not only do they say you’re blasphemers for saying God has a Son, and that you’re not their friend, but the Koran blames you for not having spread the faith to mankind. You are flat-out accused of having failed in evangelization, so, no, there’s no respect nor love for you unless you convert to Islam.
And (remember) when Allah laid a charge on those who had received the Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not to hide it. But they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a little gain. Verily evil is that which they have gained thereby (Surah 3:187).
Saints, being a peacemaker is not walking shoulder-to-shoulder with the Devil. That’s not God and that’s not what He intends for His Church to do. Islam isn’t called “the religion of the sword” for the heck of it. It’s labeled that justifiably so.
Fuller Seminary And NAE At Islam’s Side In Campaign For Acceptance…
Or should it be called campaign of seduction? On the website of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) it reads:
CAIR has launched a year-long ‘Islam in America’ advertising campaign designed to foster greater understanding of Islam and to counter a rising tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric in the United States. The weekly ads, each explaining one aspect of Islam, will be distributed to Muslim communities around America for placement in local newspapers. (http://www.cair-net.org)
CAIR’s March 2004 advertisement in several
Southern California-area newspapers is a lie right from Satan’s throne.
This is just their cheap demonic psychology being put to work on
Christians succumbing to the belief and acceptance of the Islamic faith
right along side the National Association of Evangelicals’ and Fuller
Seminary’s push for Christians to give way as well. This advertisement was
supposedly showing Christians how Muslims “respect Jesus” as it is
presented with a picture of the Old City of Jerusalem with a cross at the
forefront of it. The ad reads as follows:
MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU THINK…JESUS
Behold (O Mary!) The Angel said, ‘God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Christ (Masih or Messiah), Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. (Holy Qur’an, 3:45).
Like Christians, Muslims respect and revere Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is one of the greatest of God’s prophets and messengers to humankind.
Like Christians, every day, over 1.3 billion Muslims strive to live by his [Jesus’] teachings of love, peace, and forgiveness. Those teachings, which have universal values, remind us that all of us, Christians, Muslims, Jews, and all others have more in common than we think (http://www.cair-net.org/html/Jesusad.html)
That is rather amusing! They really see Christians as half-brained wimps, and thanks to the pseudo-Christians out there who have already fallen into the bridge-building concept with Muslims.
Notice the order of the religious groups in the ad:

Why didn’t that read in
the order of the dawning of the three belief systems: 1-Judaims;
2-Christianity; 3-Islam? No, that being too much respect for infidel
belief systems that are viewed inferior to Islam would not have sent the
right message to those practicing the Islamic faith. Muslims/Islam
had to be at the center – the heart, after all, they see themselves as
most moral of all peoples on earth, when in fact, they are no better off
than the most immoral heathens. The Muslims, Fuller Seminary and the NAE,
hand-in-hand. Lord have mercy!
Refund Due The Department of Justice
Fuller needs to refund the Department of Justice’s million dollars. By proposing to bring “True believing Christians” and Muslims together in peace is one elephant they will not be able to pull out of the hat. (It will work with nominal or so-called Christians and Catholics, but not True Christians.) Peace! That’s ridiculous! The non-violent hand-in-hand with the violent? Fuller, you poor unsaved folk; you evidently believed that the Christian-Muslim friendship could be done before the Department of Justice approached you to run such a project; or, was it you who approached them? Your project reeks of ecumenism! It reeks of One World Religion that you, Fuller, evidently stood for all the while.
Fred Messick, Fuller’s Director of Public Relations released on their website in December 2003 a response to the question “Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God” (http://www.fuller.edu/alumni_ae/E-News/2003-12/conflict_resolution.asp). In the response Dr. Richard J. Mouw, President of Fuller was quoted as saying…
If you ask me whether Hindus and Buddhists pray to the same God that we do, I would say definitely not. But the fact is that Christianity, Judaism and Islam trace their respective faiths back to Abraham…. Muslims' faith in the God of Abraham gives us a common foundation upon which we can then talk with them about the need for the sovereign grace that can only reach into our lives through the shed blood of Calvary.
In other words, Dr. Mouw believes Christians and Muslims have the same god because they speak of the God of Abraham. Dr. J. Dudley Woodberry, Fuller’s “internationally recognized expert in Islam”, further stated in that same release:
We need to distinguish between the One Creator God to whom we refer and what we say about Him. Muhammad referred to the God of the Bible when he used the name 'Allah,' the name that Arab Christians used and still do, and the Qur'an says 'Your God and our God are One' (29:46); so it means the same person [My word!]. What we say about Him is both similar and different [very, very different]. The differences are essentially the same differences we have with contemporary Jews who do not follow Jesus [I beg to differ]. Yet most Christians would say that Jews worship the same God, even though they do not understand or accept his revelation in Jesus Christ [accepting Islam is much graver than the non-acceptance of Jesus’ revelation]. As one who is studying Muslim conversions to Christ and is privileged to teach in a school whose former students are probably involved in leading more Muslims to faith in Christ than those of any other school, a majority of the converts [Muslims] that I have seen understand their conversion as bringing them into a personal relationship to the One God whom they knew less completely and misunderstood before [no, no, Allah god, is not the same God of Christianity]."
Come on now Fuller! True, the Jews nor the Muslims accept the revelation of Jesus as Messiah and Son of the Most High God, but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel doesn’t tell Christians to hate Jews and to kill them. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel doesn’t tell the Jews to kill Christians. Church, Allah, the god of the Muslims, tells them to not befriend and to kill the enemies, that being Christians and Jews. There is a distinct difference between the Christian God of the Bible and Allah of the Koran, and it’s sad Fuller’s international expert on Islam doesn’t know that. Fuller, Christian? I say not.
Muslims can say all day and all night that their god is the God of Abraham; and the Muslims holy book can say all day and all night “your God and our god are one” but that doesn’t make it so. Fuller, you and the likes are indeed apostate and anti-Christ in that you believe Christians and Muslims have the same god and you are a campaigner of One World Religion. You support One World Religion in that you accept the belief of the Muslims that their god and the Christian God is one. You are apostate if for one moment you believe that a Muslim convert to Christianity is simply being brought “into a personal relationship with the one God whom they knew less completely and misunderstood before.” No way! Them, and clearly you too, don’t have the One True God in the first place. God’s personality is not divided! God isn’t coming as the True God teaching a different way of life for Christians and another way of life for Muslims. Utter confusion and God is not the author of confusion. How then could His Word be truth?
God’s Word is truth because he is truth. Truth cannot be compromised. Once there is compromising of truth, then truth can no longer be called truth. What you are doing here is compromising truth for the sake of bridge-building with Muslims. Yes, you are very unyielding in your denial of having compromised The Gospel by thinking you’re doing something good for God when He’s told you to do contrary. That sounds oh so familiar. Remember King Saul in I Samuel 15. In I Samuel 15, God instructed King Saul to “utterly” smite Amalek because of what Amalek had done to Israel as they came up from Egypt. When God said to utterly destroy, He meant every man, woman, infant, and suckling; ox, sheep, camel, and ass – absolutely everything. But what did Saul do? He spared the life of Agag the king, kept alive the best sheep, oxen, lambs, and fatlings. This grieved God and He sent Samuel to Saul…
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed (I Samuel 15:13-15).
Out of disobedience, Saul figured it wouldn’t hurt anybody if he spared the best sheep and oxen, after all, they were for sacrifices unto The Lord God. To God, there is no justifying disobedience to His Word. The Word from The Lord through Samuel was that He appreciated obedience to His Word over sacrifices to Him.
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice (I Samuel 15:22-24).
Saul sinned even though he
thought he was doing a good thing for The Lord. Fuller and NAE, this that
you’re doing isn’t about peace, love, and trust; even though the Word of
The Lord to His people is to love one another, even your enemies. “Love
your enemies, do good to them which hate you” (Luke 6:27).
Nowhere in that verse of Scripture does it tell Fuller Seminary and the
NAE to compromise the Gospel by agreeing not to proselytize Muslims as
they are in dialogue with them for the sake of peace, love, and trust.
By agreeing with Muslims to not proselytize them for the sake of
friendship, peace, and loving the enemy, is rejecting the Word of The Lord
and The Lord will surely reject you (Fuller and NAE). The bottom
line is God isn’t one thing to Islam and another to Christianity and by
you wanting this wonderful friendship with Muslims without evangelizing
them is not a good thing before God; it is sin and is not of God.
Conclusion
The God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, alone, is the True God, and He alone is the professor of love. Only this True God has a personal relationship with His people by loving them and forgiving them of their sins. Only those with a personal relationship with God are His children – they are of God. “He that is of God, heareth God’s Words” (John 8:47). This God is the True God of True Christians and He is not known to have multiple personalities whereby making Him different for the different religions. There is none like the God of Israel because He alone is God, and all roads don’t lead to Him.
Look
unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and
there is none else (Isaiah 45:22).
true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king… (Jeremiah 10:10).
If Muslims had the True God in the first place, there would be both truth and love in the Koran that would parallel both the Old and New Testaments, but there are no such parallels, and thus Islam is a false religion whose god is false.
There can be no peaceful understanding between Christians and Muslims that will inhibit Christians speaking the truth about Islam regardless of being offensive to them. Islam’s beliefs are incompatible; they are conflicting; they are at variance and this will not ever change for True Believers in Jesus Christ. All Christians and Muslims can do for each other is to respect one another and continue on their separate paths in proselytizing one another every step of the way. Face it, only the charlatan Christians will, at all cost, submit to making peace with Muslims at the expense of compromising the Gospel, but not the Truly Born Again Spirit-filled Uncompromising Christians (TBASUCs).
Dear Church, the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not changed and cannot be changed by anyone. Church, you are not to follow the counsel of Fuller Theological Seminary, the National Association of Evangelicals, the United States Department of Justice, nor that of your pastors concerning bridge-building with those of the Islamic faith. The followers of the Islamic faith have no love for you and they don’t because they cannot help themselves but to hate you – admittedly or not. They cannot be friends to Christians in their hearts for they are forbidden by Allah’s word in the Koran.
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk (Surah 5:51).
They just cannot be friends to those outside of the Islamic faith. You have to know in your heart that the driving force behind that religion is Satan himself. The Muslims will use you for what they can get out of you, and that’s certainly not spiritually related but materially, while all the time smiling in your face before proceeding to fight you in the name of Allah. You’re either with them or against them.
Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them, and He will heal the breasts of folk who are believers (Surah 9:14).
Do you still want to build these bridges without the opportunity of proselytizing them because you have committed to abandoning that for the sake of being a friend to Muslims? I just don’t get it, except apostasy is alive and well in The Church – in Fuller, the NAE, and other so-called Christian organizations and churches. Lord! Lord! Lord! The Church of The Lord Jesus Christ is not only cooperating with the religion of Islam, but has compromised the Gospel by holding back on the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20…
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:18-20).
Bringing this up-to-date, the NAE president Ted Haggard in a February 24, 2004 press release – “Cooperation Without Compromise” said… “We will not let our Jewish friends down in their time of need” (http://www.nae.net/index.cfm?FUSEACTION=editor.page&pageID=31). If I were a Jew I wouldn’t put too must trust in that statement. One would have to question how these evangelical Christians will keep to this since they have now gone out and buddied-up with Muslims. Jews and the Muslims both ought to worry about a so-called friend such as this (NAE and Fuller Seminary both). Why? Because you have to question which one of them they will be loyal to when it comes down to having to side with what is morally right, or will they stand with neither one fearing the loss of friendship of one or the other? The last-mentioned situation would not be good. Whether these evangelicals say so or not, this opens the way for their full-fledge shift from supporting Israel to supporting the Palestinian cause.
The Jewish people had a legitimate right of concern over the Mel Gibson movie “The Passion of the Christ” and it possibly having a negative effect on Christians toward Jews. There are some very weak Christians out there that are easily swayed away from the truth because they don’t want to be offensive by speaking the truth. For this, thanks in part to the preachers, teachers, and counselors that Fuller Seminary turn out each year; and thanks to the NAE and its influence on the fifty odd denominations that belong to the organization. Lord, Lord, Lord! This is the apostate church hour even though The Church cannot see it. They can’t see it because they have become blinded to the truth for all the sin that’s been in them for years – beginning with the false teachings.
My fellow True Believing Christians, by building ecumenical bridges with Muslims as Fuller Seminary and the NAE foster, is like you hooking your wagon up to a pony that’s taking you down a road where you’ll lose your freedom to love and serve God as you’ve known to that of having to serve the anti-Christ of the One World Religion – 666. The clarion call: Break away from this movement by (1) not participating in it; (2) speaking out against it by naming Fuller Seminary and the NAE; (3) if the NAE does not remove itself from the project they initiated, the member-churches and affiliates should cancel their memberships; (4) you little people who make up the flocks, if your pastor refuses to cancel your church’s NAE membership, then you choose fellowshipping in another church body; (5) recognize Fuller Seminary for what it is – liberal-apostate, and don’t support it in any kind of way nor recommend aspiring clergy graduating from that seminary because of their anti-Christ indoctrination. This contamination has to be quelled.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name! Amen.
