Chrislam!!!???

Tonight while watching a show an PBS I was shocked. One of the stories they did was about a church in Nigeria where they preach from the Bible and the Koran. They call their religion Chrislam. The people claim to have recieved miracles through prayer at this church. Of course the people on PBS were extolling the virtues of such a church that would combine these two religions. They talked to an "expert" anthropologist who showed her great lack of knowledge as far as I am concerned. She showed that she had no real understanding of the Christian faith.

Here is a link to the clip and an article about it: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/video/blog/2009/05/chrislam_combines_christian_an.html


One of my thoughts about this is that this is just a step toward a One World Religion. In the end of this age, just before Jesus returns to set up His kingdom on the earth, the Bible indicates that the world will be under the leadership of the person we call the "Antichrist." This man of lawlessness, son of perdition, beast, etc. as he is referred to in the scriptures, will rule over a One World Government. Working alongside this "antichrist" will be the "false prophet." I believe this false prophet will preside over a One World Religion. There are different "interfaith" organizations in the world working toward bringing all the faiths together.

I know that Christians are often looked upon as intolerant of the other religions or as narrow minded. But the Bible is very clear that there is only ONE way to God the Father and that is through Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

A couple of scriptures that come to mind in particular concerning chrislam are the following:

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I would also have to say that the miracles that the people in that chrislam "church" experienced were lying signs and wonders.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
