Hawkins quoted Pope Francis, "Muslims worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon him in prayer". However the Bible shows that Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on all the most important issues. The Islamic Moon god, Allah, is a singular entity while the Christian God is triune (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Muslims view Jesus Christ as a prophet while Christianity says He is God, the second member of the triune Godhead. True Christianity declares Jesus to be God incarnate and born of a virgin, while Islam says that Allah is unknowable. For Christians, the deity of Christ is a non-negotiable, for without His deity, Jesus' death on the cross would not have been sufficient as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2). Islam demands the death of the Kaffir to atone for a Muslim's sins.
Islam adamantly rejects the deity of Christ with the Qur’an declaring the idea that Jesus is God to be blasphemy (5:17). Belief in the deity of Christ is considered shirk (“filthâ€) to Muslims. Further, Islam denies the death of Christ on the cross (4:157-158). The most crucial doctrine of the Christian faith is rejected in Islam. As a result, the two religions are absolutely not compatible, making Chrislam a concept both Christians and Muslims should reject.
Some current proponents of Chrislam are Rick Warren, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, late Robert Schuller, Glen Beck, Tony Campolo, Brian Maclaren, Joel Osteen, and Pope Francis. Chrislamic people themselves see no problem with the basic unity of the two religions, because they say that God loves all people and wants us to love all people. President Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is quoted as saying, "I made it [Chrislam] comfortable for him [Obama] to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background."
the KEY difference is that the Judeo-Christian Biblical God is love, and He teaches justice, mercy, and ....love
whereas Allah teaches his followers to murder, ambush, subjugate, and rape innocent Christians, Jews, and other human beings.
In Christian terms, ‘By their fruits ye shall know them...” (Matthew 7:16). An intelligent person needs nothing more complex than that to discern that Allah is evil/Satan, and most definitely (!!!) NOT God.
no kidding .....and those that join the jihad are sub-human , of a different & peculiar species
It’s about Christianity’s Jesus Christ as God and the Son of God
versus
the Islamic “God” (”Allah”) which is really the spirit of anti-Christ.
We have a contender for “Stranglehold on the Obvious” award..
Obviously not. Unless, of course, you are the current Pope.
¶
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2Jo 1:2
For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
2Jo 1:3
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2Jo 1:4
¶
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2Jo 1:6
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
2Jo 1:7
¶
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2Jo 1:8
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jo 1:10
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
2Jo 1:11
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
2Jo 1:12
¶
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2Jo 1:13
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
Choose either the Moon God or GOD Who created the moon...
A thought crossed my mind today at church as we were worshiping our Lord and Savior in song...
Do Muslims sing songs of worship to Allah...?
Christians sing songs of love and adoration because he first loved us...
I’ve never heard a Muslim speak of Allah love, just his wrath...
Christians and Jews worship the same God. Moslems worship the Moon God
Unfortunately for me, I’m Episcopal from birth and have always attended services there. I tend to have some less than cordial discussions with many in my congregation, as they are big believers in the Coexist crap. (Among other tenets that I find to be sinful.)
My time in the Middle East only cemented my belief that Islam is evil in its most pure form here on Earth. Communism is pure statism, but Islam is pure evil. No wonder they get along so well and unite in their quest to destroy us and our Faith.
The Bible and the quran are fundamentally different types of works, which can be seen right from each’s beginnings.
They are totally incompatible.
Hip Hip Hooray for Franklin. He needs our support. BTW, how is it Greta and he are so tight given her Scientology thing?
Unfortunately, I already know more about muhammed, islam and muslims than I ever wanted to know. And what I know ain’t good.
I have been saying the same thing for years. Islam is a “spirit” of anti-Christ...and its demonic in its nature and the way it lives out it’s faith in its believers.
In Christianity God died for you. In Islam you kill for Allah.

There is a link to the article, and if you click on the date it goes to the tweet.Franklin Graham calls out Wheaton's support of a professor who said Muslims & Christians worship the same God. https://t.co/3hVAdewtEI— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) January 24, 2016
Franklin speaks the truth. Others are in denial. This is an evil cult. Egypt called for a reform of Islam. The rest of the Muslim countries need to do the same.
I don’t really see how you reform an evil cult, but Egypt does seem much more moderate than other Muslim countries after they kicked the US sponsored Muslim Brotherhood out of power. I guess you just ignore Mohammed’s teachings.
Christians worship the Triune God. Nothing else.
We do not worship a concept of Allah
I don’t see what this issue has to do with the main issues of the day. We don’t need another religious war.
What is the salient point of most current day events is the difference in CULTURE and LAW between Islamic and traditionally Christian countries.
Beck’s latest book on Islam, “It IS About Islam” is quite critical of Islam and points out theological differences.
