This comment concerns shows the ignorance of his congregation, and apparently Hybel himself: Judy Barrie, 30, of Mundelein said the interview "opened up doors to communicate and showed [Muslims are] people just like we are." That is the kind of impact Hybels had hoped for.
If he would read he his Bible he would see we aren't the same: 2 Cor 6:15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
I have been trying for almost 20 years to get Christians to bring the gospel to their Muslim neighbors. Most followers of Christ have been asleep on this point.
