Chrislam & False Prophets

[Sister Penny]

I would like to hear anyone's opinion on this new term, sort of a combination Christianity and Islam religions seems it is a new buzz word for our president compromising on the islamic terrorist words...

We follow Dr. Jack Van Impe and he has spoken recently about Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven Life and how he is shown shaking hands with former rock star Cat Stevens, now a muslim.

Dr. Robert Schuyler was also part of the false prophets...

Just wanted to hear your opinions..

God bless,
Sister Penny

I seem to remember hearing that term in the context of a fictional future syncretic religion, possibly as part of a novel or summary thereof.

Do you have a source on this term?

From Wikipedia:

Chrislam, or The Will of God Mission or Ifeoluwa Mission (Ifeoluwa is a Yoruba word meaning "God's Love"), is a Nigerian syncretic religion which mixes elements of both Christianity and Islam.

Founded by Tela Tella in the 1980s, the sect predominantly exists in Lagos, Nigeria. Its followers recognise both the Bible and the Qur'an as holy texts, and practice "running deliverance," a distinctive practice of spiritual running which members liken to Joshua's army that took Jericho, or the Muslim practice of walking around the Ka'aba.

Chrislam goes by many different names including; The True Message of God Mission,[1] The Will of God Mission, Ifeoluwa Mission, which means God’s Love in Yoruba[2] and Oke-Tude which means The Mountain of Loosing Bondage in Yoruba. Chrislam is the blend between Christianity and Islam. This religion is mostly popular in Lagos, Nigeria where it was founded.[3] In Africa today there are about 1,500 people who practice Chrislam, and the number is growing every day.[3]

The Chrislam Movement In The Apostate Church
by Bill Wilson

During the weekend of November 13, many Christian churches across the United States began a series of sermons aimed at bringing about reconciliation between Muslims and Christians. These misguided Presbyterian ministers are trying to focus on a relationship between the Holy Bible and the Koran they call “Chrislam.” They are saying that because the Koran mentions Jesus that there is common ground with Christianity. To prove their point, they are placing Korans along side the Holy Bible in their pews. And they are teaching that you can be a follower of Christ without necessarily believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, who died for our sins offering the gift of eternal salvation.


Writes commentator Paul Williams:

“The Chrislam movement has gained impetus by statements from President George W. Bush and that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God and by Rick Warren’s reference to Isa (the Muslim name for Jesus) in his prayer at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.”

Williams points out that Jesus in the Koran is not the only-begotten Son of God nor the Messiah. Williams says,

“He is rather viewed as a prophet who was appointed by Allah to prepare mankind for the coming of Mohammad.” In the Koran, Williams reminds readers, “The victim at Calvary, Islam teaches, was either Simon of Cyrene or Judas Iscariot.”

The Koran states in Sura 5:17, “In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the son of Mary. Say: “Who then hath the least power against God, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every-one that is on the earth? For to God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For God hath power over all things.” The Koran has many verses that command the followers of allah to kill Christians and Jews if they do not convert to Islam. There is absolutely no common ground between the Holy Scriptures and the Koran when these are the mandates of the prophet Mohammed, who wrote the Koran.

Jesus said in John 14:6,

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

This is the central doctrine of Christianity. There is instruction by the Holy Scriptures to not fellowship with those who do not recognize the truth in this doctrine. 2nd John verses 9-11 say,

“Whoseover transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

Thus are those deceivers who believe in common ground with Islam.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Great article, thanks, Bill.

This topic was covered in an extensive article in Time Magazine, showing photos of Rick Warren and the former "Cat Stevens" and there was a statement Rick Warren made prior to his speaking dealing with God..I wish I would have grabbed up that copy of Time...

Personally, now with president obama being so negative about using "terrorist and islam" in the same sentence, I can honestly say my husband and I do NOT in any way shape or form embrace combining the 2 religions, and I stretch the word religion on Rick Warren and those like him as they are practicing watered down religion without faith in the Lord Jesus in so many areas...
