“..I don't know what the fuss is all about.”

The fuss is that the Lord warned against following after false christs and a pastor has no business elevating the name of the false jesus of Islam before the world.

Matthew 24:23-25 (NKJV):

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.”

Can't be said too often...

Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Exo 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The name of Jesus is equated with the name of God...

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Apparently there was a muzlim in the crowd that Rick Warren didn't want to offend...

Isa is not Jesus...Rick should have skipped Isa and used 'Allah' in it's place...The muzlims then would have understood what Rick was trying to imply...But then Rick may have gotten back-handed by someone close by...

Of course it's possible Rick Warren doesn't know the difference betwen Jesus and Isa, as so many religous folk here in the U.S...
