In response to a local Qur&#8217;an burning, Larry Reimer, a minister of the United Church of Gainesville, decided to read Scripture from the Qur&#8217;an as part of worship services on September 12, 2010, prodded further about religious relatives. \u201cChristianity, Judaism, and Islam are all part of the Abrahamic tree of faith. We all believe in the same God, and in many aspects we are all trying to accomplish the same goals.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/focus\/f-news\/2584630\/posts\">http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/focus\/f-news\/2584630\/posts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Islam recital in Methodist church <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ybSAinBMb_g\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ybSAinBMb_g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This GROWING TREND is a natural slide to the bottom for common ground to have a peaceful coexistence. There is a movement saying that other religions are as valid as \u201cChristianity.\u201d Unfortunately the way Christianity is practiced today, there may be some truth to this. But if one were to go by the Bible and live Christianity the way it was originally taught, it becomes as different as night and day (Christianity being the day.<\/p>\n<p>Chrislam is an interfaith movement that is a dialogue with Islam &#8211; a syncretistic movement that speaks about \u201cspirituality without boundaries.\u201d These churches, softening John 14:6, are opening the door to allow the conversion of their people. Because to them it matters not what you are anymore. For the most part, the majority of these churches are already removed from the faith, so this is expected in the days we live in.<\/p>\n<p>It was Robert Schuller, pastor of Crystal Cathedral, that began this process by housing the offices for &#8220;Christians and Muslims for Peace.&#8221; Schuller had told an Imam of the Muslim American Society that &#8220;if he came back in 100 years and found his descendants Muslims, it wouldn&#8217;t bother him&#8230;.&#8221; (The Berean Call (April 1998),<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> -What&#8217;s Happening to the Faith? by Dave Hunt\u00a0<\/span>). That should bother any authentic Christian, but not those who espouse the \u201cnew Christianity\u201d of our modern times.<\/p>\n<p>The assumption is that Christians and Muslims all worship the same God; they, along with the Jews, are all faiths from Abraham. This is something we have steadily warned about for years. When you see people make the name Allah acceptable, that it is suitable for a Christian to pray in his name because it is the same God, or that Muslim converts can continue to go into their Mosques and pray and worship as if nothing happened to them, this is leading Christians toward accepting the Qur\u2019an as equal in inspiration as the Bible (both Old and New Testament) when it contradicts it more than it agrees.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.letusreason.org\/current109.htm\"> Click here <\/a>to continue reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to CHRISTIAN MADE MOSQUES\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=4729\">CHRISTIAN MADE MOSQUES <\/a><a title=\"Permanent Link to \u201cChristians, Muslims Gather to Build a Common Future\u201d\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=5242\">\u201cChristians, Muslims Gather to Build a Common Future\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to Rick Warren: A Shill for Terror\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=5047\">Rick Warren: A Shill for Terror <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God?\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=459\">Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God? <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to Seminary plans cross-training with other faiths\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=4585\">Seminary plans cross-training with other faiths <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to The Selling of \u201cIslam-Lite\u201d\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=4483\">The Selling of \u201cIslam-Lite\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to WorldNetDaily on Mark Driscoll and Rick Warren: Growing trend to meet with Muslims rings alarm bells for some\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=4439\">WorldNetDaily on Mark Driscoll and Rick Warren: Growing trend to meet with Muslims rings alarm bells for some <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to Donation will allow Claremont School of Theology to train rabbis, imams\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=6436\">Donation will allow Claremont School of Theology to train rabbis, imams <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to \u201cChristians, Muslims Gather to Build a Common Future\u201d\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=5242\">\u201cChristians, Muslims Gather to Build a Common Future\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/newsletters\/2007\/newsletter112607.htm#LETTER.BLOCK7\">Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and other Christian Leaders Invite Muslims to Share &#8220;Common Love for God&#8221;
