You can read about them in Carl Teichrib\u2019s article \u201cUnveiling the Global Interfaith Agenda.\u201d1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also other attempts to merge Christianity with different religions. For example, Chrislam tries to combine Christianity with Islam.2 There are people who call themselves Christian witches (i.e., combining Christianity with Wicca). There are attempts to mix Christianity with Hinduism, and with Buddhism, and with Shamanism. (A shaman is a Native American medicine man.) Some people claim to be Christian witch doctors or Christian sorcerers. You can even buy a book about Christian Voodoo.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nominal Christians are people who are Christians in name only. They call themselves Christians, but they really aren\u2019t. They don\u2019t have a relationship with Jesus Christ, they ignore or deny foundational Christian doctrines, and they don\u2019t try to live the way God has instructed us as described in the Bible. Such people can fit in with other religions. However, born-again Christians aren\u2019t able to do that because they have God\u2019s Spirit living inside them Who convicts them of sin and enables them to trust and obey the Lord. And because God is living inside them, He gives them the grace and strength to abide in Him. Simply put, biblical Christianity cannot mix with other religions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-22421\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/bigstock-Glass-With-Drops-176457802-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22421\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Water and oil | bigstockphoto.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To compare it to something physical in everyday life, you cannot mix oil and water. Because of their very nature, they just don\u2019t mix. You can put them in a glass jar and shake them until they seem to be blended, but then they will separate and the oil will rise to the top of the jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To carry that analogy further, if you add an emulsifier, then they can mix. It goes against their nature, but the emulsifier bridges that gap. In real life, Christians who are under severe pressure (such as the threat of prison or torture or death) may go against their nature and try to blend in with whatever is politically correct. That happened in Nazi Germany. I\u2019ve seen pictures of church altars with swastikas on them. However, Jesus warned us not to make such compromises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, it is not politically correct to be \u201cexclusive\u201d by claiming that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. However, we need to be biblically correct rather than&nbsp; politically correct. The antidote to the fear of men is the fear of the Lord. Jesus warned us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. (Proverbs 1:7)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus made it clear He is the only way to be right with God the Father. There is no other source of salvation. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (John 10:7-11)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\n<strong>My Hope is Built on Nothing Less<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>(by Edward Mote, 1797-1874)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My hope is built on nothing less<br \/>\nThan Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness;<br \/>\nI dare not trust the sweetest frame,<br \/>\nBut wholly lean on Jesus\u2019 name.<br \/>\nOn Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;<br \/>\nAll other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When darkness veils His lovely face,<br \/>\nI rest on His unchanging grace;<br \/>\nIn every high and stormy gale<br \/>\nMy anchor holds within the veil.<br \/>\nOn Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;<br \/>\nAll other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His oath, His covenant, and blood<br \/>\nSupport me in the whelming flood;<br \/>\nWhen every earthly prop gives way,<br \/>\nHe then is all my Hope and Stay.<br \/>\nOn Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;<br \/>\nAll other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When He shall come with trumpet sound,<br \/>\nOh, may I then in Him be found,<br \/>\nClothed in His righteousness alone,<br \/>\nFaultless to stand before the throne!<br \/>\nOn Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;<br \/>\nAll other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Endnotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">1.
