<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong>Watchwoman about merging Christ with non-Christian systems:<\/strong> <\/span>Everyone who has been long-time “believers in Beliefnet and vistors to Beliefnet” will love this and see beauty and truth in the Interfaith Alliance merging and finding common ground with Islam. \u00a0They will completely agree with the concepts promoted below. \u00a0However, those of us Bible-believing, conservative, real\u00a0Christians\u00a0will see how wrong the Interfaith Alliance is, just as wrong as “Chrislam” or “Christian Yoga” is. \u00a0True Christians don’t compromise, they don’t mix Christ with the un-holy spirits. \u00a0Christians preach “Christ Risen” and nothing else! \u00a0We make no allowances for anything but Jesus and God’s Pure and Holy Law Word, The King James Bible. \u00a0That is why we are despised! \u00a0\u25ac Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

[1 Corinthians 4:10] \u00a0We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.<\/p>\n

[1 Corinthians 1:18] \u00a0For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:19] \u00a0For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:20] \u00a0Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
\n[1 Corinthians 1:21] \u00a0For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:22] \u00a0For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
\n[1 Corinthians 1:23] \u00a0But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
\n[1 Corinthians 1:24] \u00a0But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:25] \u00a0Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:26] \u00a0For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
\n[1 Corinthians 1:27] \u00a0But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
\n[1 Corinthians 1:28] \u00a0And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
\n[1 Corinthians 1:29] \u00a0That no flesh should glory in his presence.
\n[1 Corinthians 1:30] \u00a0But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
\n[1 Corinthians 1:31] \u00a0That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.<\/div>\n

Excerpt:
\n<\/span>Question<\/strong>: Is it proper to promote the words of the Quran on a Christian pulpit in an attempt to teach tolerance\u00a0when the Quran clearly contradicts God\u2019s word about salvation and teaches violence against non-Muslims as well as the beating of wives<\/span><\/strong>? Is this what should be done? Is this really what tolerance means? Or, is the Christian pulpit the place where the truth of God\u2019s word, God\u2019s love, and God\u2019s forgiveness in Jesus should be promoted? Isn\u2019t the pulpit the place where Christian ministers beckon the lost to acknowledge their sin before God and realize that they will face God\u2019s judgment without Christ?<\/strong><\/span> Shouldn\u2019t they be urged to turn from their sin, look to Jesus, receive him as Savior and Lord, and accept him as the only way to God (John 14:6) and the only way to salvation (Acts 4:12)?\u00a0Shouldn\u2019t they be informed that it is not sincerity and tolerance that earns favor with God, but only the work of\u00a0God the Son<\/a> (John 1:1,14) who died on the cross (1 Cor. 15:1-3)?<\/strong><\/span><\/big><\/span><\/big>

Interfaith Alliance and Islam<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/big><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/big>by Matt Slick<\/a><\/span><\/big> <\/p>\n

<\/big>On Sunday, June 26th, the\u00a0Interfaith Alliance<\/a> group is promoting a “Faith Shared” event where the Quran will be read in Christian Churches.\u00a0 This is what it says:<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

<\/big>“Interfaith Alliance<\/strong> and\u00a0Human Rights First<\/strong> offer the\u00a0Faith Shared<\/em> event as a way to engage faith leaders on the national and community levels in interfaith events intended to highlight respect among people of different faiths. Through photos, video clips and print coverage distributed around the world, we are looking to display visual images that reflect the mutual respect that is shared by so many Muslims, Christians, Jews and other Americans, standing together as a strong counterpoint to the negative images that have dominated the domestic and international news…Faith Shared<\/em> asks houses of worship across the country to organize events involving clergy reading from each other\u2019s sacred texts. An example would be a Christian Minister, Jewish Rabbi and Muslim Imam participating in a worship service or other event.”\u00a0 (http:\/\/www.faithshared.org\/index.html<\/a>)<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

<\/big><\/p>\n

Want to join us?<\/span><\/big><\/h2>\n

<\/big>So, in light of the effort to promote education and information about other religions,\u00a0CARM<\/a> has produced the following tract for distribution at those churches that want to participate.\u00a0\u00a0We figure if they want to promote education and reduce bigotry, a well informed congregation should be the goal.<\/strong> That is why we have produced a double sided Microsoft Word document that is\u00a0free to download, print up, and distribute in front of churches who are participating in the\u00a0Faith Shared<\/em> event.\u00a0 If you want to see if a church near you is participating so that\u00a0you<\/strong> can help become educated by distributing this tract, then go to\u00a0http:\/\/www.faithshared.org\/index.html<\/a>.<\/strong> On the right side of the page is a scrolling box with participating churches.<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

OPPOSING BIGOTRY TOWARDS ISLAM<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/big>
\nThe\u00a0Interfaith Alliance<\/a> is promoting a \u201cFaith Shared\u201d project. We applaud its efforts to teach tolerance and oppose bigotry by increasing awareness and education of different religions. In an attempt to further that goal, we are providing additional information about Islam. Here are quotes from the Quran.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/big><\/p>\n
