However, the Jesus of the Koran is viewed as but a prophet on the level of Moses or Muhammad. Note as well that the Jesus of the Koran did not die on the Cross but was replaced by another individual.

The Jesus of the Koran is an imposter and not God incarnate. Again, how can a Christian who knows the truth about the origin of the Muslim god and the Muslim Jesus ever consider aligning with such teachings? Perhaps worst of all is the fact that these Christian leaders who proceed to engage themselves with this unholy dialog have and will continue to do incalculable damage to the cause of evangelizing the lost. In fact, if there was any way to be saved and redeemed from our sins but by the blood of Jesus Christ then the God of the Bible is by far the most heinous god of all! Christians cannot be faithful to the God and His Bible and also think kindly of Islam, its demonic Allah and false prophet Muhammad.

I wonder if the intellectuals at Yale and the many signers bothered to find out just where the Muslims came up with the idea for "A Common Word? Just as compelling from the Muslim viewpoint is the question, how can Muslims entertain the idea of dialog and common ground with Christians for to do so is diametrically opposed to their own religious writings! They are friends with one another. I shall never worship what you worship, nor will you ever worship what I worship. You have your own religion and I have mine. Those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He has been angry, transforming them into apes and swine, and those who serve the devil.

It is the ultimate in foolishness to believe that those committed to Sharia Law with its floggings, lashings, amputations and executions will magically be tolerant of Christians, Jews and others. According to the Koran, there can never be compromise with an infidel and that is exactly what Islam sees all those outside their belief system as - infidels.

Live and let live is not now and has never been a Muslim edict. Just speaking out is enough to bring the wrath of Islam down on a person.

Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you. But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou also incline towards peace, and trust in Allah. I perceive that the Muslim signatories of the document which started this debate are either 1 liberal Muslims who do not believe the Koran and are MINOs Muslim in name only 2 Are merely trying to bolster the public image and acceptability of Islam or 3 involved in a finely tuned campaign of deception to draw unsuspecting evangelicals and others into an unholy alliance to further the chief goal of Islam — religious, political and practical world domination.

This is what Muhammad taught and what some 60 countries in the world are today operating by. Dare I say, it is the ultimate in foolishness to align with Muslims if we care to also align with Jehovah God. We also have great reason to believe that much of the talk about peace, harmony, unity and brotherhood we hear coming from Muslims today may be a ruse for the Koran expresses that they have perfect right before Allah to deceive the infidels if it is for the furtherance and good of Islam.

Loving God and Neighbor Together: A Christian Response to A Common Word between Us and You

In the geopolitical atmosphere today, it is expected that common ground be found. Otherwise, one is painted as a bigot or separatist. But is being a separatist always bad?

No, not if truth is the highest objective. This is why the prophet Elijah challenged hundreds of false prophets of Baal and Asherah.

    • Truth was at stake and the real God showed up in an awesome display of power. The Bible is replete with accounts of those who either withstood following other gods or failed and capitulated. What common ground could the Allies have found and what compromises with Hitler would have been beneficial? When anyone or anything besides God commands our ultimate allegiance— a ruler, a nation, economic progress, or anything else—we end up serving idols and inevitably get mired in deep and deadly conflicts.

    We find it equally heartening that the God whom we should love above all things is described as being Love. As we read in the New Testament: It cannot be otherwise, since the Creator who has power over all things is infinitely good. We find deep affinities with our own Christian faith when A Common Witness Between Us and You insists that love is the pinnacle of our duties toward our neighbors.

    God is love, and our highest calling as human beings is to imitate the One whom we worship. When justice is lacking, neither love of God nor love of the neighbor can be present. Since Muslims seek to love their Christian neighbors, they are not against them, the document encouragingly states.

    Instead, Muslims are with them. As Christians we resonate deeply with this sentiment. Our faith teaches that we must be with our neighbors—indeed, that we must act in their favor—even when our neighbors turn out to be our enemies. At the end of his life, Jesus Christ himself prayed for his enemies: Indeed, in the generosity with which the letter is written you embody what you call for.
