Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims
The Orange County Register ^ | 2/25/12 | Jim Hinch

Posted on 02/26/2012 10:03:29 AM PST by Fast Moving Angel

The Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America's most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

FTA: "Warren has faced criticism from some evangelicals for his outreach to Muslims. Late last year, he issued a statement flatly denying rumors that he promulgates what critics term 'Chrislam,' a merging of Islam and Christianity.

"The 'rumor is 100 percent false,' Warren wrote at Pastors.com, a website he founded that provides practical advice to church leaders. 'My life and ministry are built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority.'"

If it is true, that would truly be a “bridge to nowhere....”

We do *not* worship the same God as the Muslims do.

People should use discernment (and I use that word advisedly) regarding this.

You do not mix darkness and light. The only possible solution is to bring Muslims to Christ.

Couldn't agree with you more. Jesus' admonition regarding false prophets comes to mind, too.

Exactly!

Unfortunately, most people have no idea what “discernment” is.

Naive to the point of idiocy.

Geeze, all these years as a Christian, I didn’t realize I was worshiping the Moon God! There are so many stupid people out there just like Mr. Warren.

Dear Pastor,
You and the Muslims have a very different bridge in mind...

Everyone seems to be ignoring our Earth's 4.5 billion year history.

A hearty “AMEN” to your comment. Rick Warren is preaching some other gospel then the truth that is Christ and Christianity.

He is a bloody fool. The Messiah is working assidiously to grovel before the Muslims and it is having an effect.

Seven soldiers wounded today. Two American (soldiers?) killed execution style yesterday and two American soldiers killed earlier in the week. Doesn't the Messiah know that his groveling is only weakness to the Muslims and gives them the temptation to humiliate us further (which they are doing quite well)?

Now Pastor Warren is pulling the scheiss unsin and will also encourage contempt amongst the Muslims for us :(

The Christian God does not advocate killing innocent people in His name.

This is not the same god as the Muslim believe in, as told by their murdering, child molestor prophet Mohammed.

Why does someone like Rick Warren try to pretend their god of evil is the same as the Christian God of Love.

I’m not sure he’s “stupid”, a “fool” or a “fraud”. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have listened to some of his sermons on line and think he’s an intelligent man (but this is NOT an admission that I agree with his teachings). However, I think he’s highly deluded if he believes that islam is compatible with Christianity and he’s wasting his time (and church resources) if he’s working toward that goal.
