Not true...I can name hundreds who promote Chrislam, including the leader of Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis! Since he is the Vicar of Christ, he speaks for all the hundreds of thousands of priests...
Or to put it differently, that taught like Jesus did. People are going to tell you that you are mean sometimes when you do that.
You have to have a church to be a pastor. And these “pastors,” one way or another, won’t have a church to be “pastor” of.
I would say that it is highly unlikely.
If Christians and Muslims pray to the same God then God must suffer from multiple personality disorder and Christians and Muslims pray to different personalities of God.
The Muslims pray to the psychopathic killer personality and the Christians pray to the loving, caring and compassionate personality
Going for superficiality (stuff you can do yourself to supposedly get right with God) rather than genuinely looking for the heart of God (which will graciously stoop to your need and then bless you, if you let yourself be humbled to that point) is going to go that way. We don’t need to go around screaming with our hair on fire about this being a new attitude in the churches. Islam’s involvement may be new, but this kind of attitude would go for a potpourri of non-Christian faiths.
That’s pure bullshit.
what did pure bs ever do to deserve the comparison
It seems like the elites in the west are trying the “submit” option. They are probably hoping that Islam will just go away by the time they actually start having to answer the call to prayer 5 times a day.
They are nothing alike. Islam, like ALL other religions, believes you can work your way to heaven. Christianity is the ONLY religion wher you are saved by grace, specifically by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to atone for the sins of all mankind.
“Growing Number of Pastors Believe Christianity and Islam Are Similar”
Big Media and the leftist freaks tell us God and allah are the same all the time.
Of course, King Hussein of America and his thugs insist on calling Jerusalem al-quds.
LOL true
Are they off their rockers? They are nuts.
Christian faith (and the private revelations that preceded it in the context of Jewish understanding) is the only one that gives you the promise first.
Which is way too easy to take lightly. When you’ve fallen into the hands of the living God insistent on keeping a promise to destine you to get right, the results can be “terrible” in the old sense of terrifying. If you did not fear God before, you’ll fear Him at the end of it.
And yet God somehow works this such that at the end you are willing with all your heart — this is not a game of passive puppet strings. It’s a perspective beyond our mortal ken.
If I were living there now I’d know what church to attend!
I would guess that PC(USA) and the ELCA would be at the top of the list.
All could have bright spots and dark spots among individual congregations. You can pack a person full of theology and yet he still could be giving you baloney about his belief. Few denominations try to fathom the personal relationship of a would-be pastor with Christ; it is very difficult to do that without long knowing the person unless he gives off glaring signs of having gone south. (Mouthing a good game on the spot proves nothing.)
Years ago I did a line-by-line comparison of the Christian faith (”Christianity” = “Christ” plus “vanity” = false religion) and on every item Islam is the exact and perfect opposite of the Christian faith.
The Christian Faith vs Islam

I could go on for a long time, but you get the idea. Anyone blind to this does not know God. It’s that simple.
Satan is a great deceiver
Idiots. Sharia law is in direct contradiction to the western way of life. It is therefore impossible to “coexist”.
IDIOTS; islam is a political system, NOT A RELIGION.
