What a blessing to be here before you. Let me get my stopwatch here. Pastor, you said 4:00 o\u2019clock, right? Our flight doesn\u2019t leave till after 5:00, so that should give us plenty of\u2026. Just kidding. It\u2019s been an absolute blessing to be here with you this weekend. Again, I cannot say enough\u2026I thank you for the invitation, to pastor Woods and your leadership here in this body, for hosting this conference, for allowing us to come and to share what has been so close to my heart, my wife\u2019s heart and our ministry. This is His ministry because we believe that in this hour it\u2019s so critical for these messages to get out so the body of Christ can be equipped and educated.\r\n\r\nAs we said yesterday, the heart of these messages is not so that we leave here hating Muslims. As a former Muslim--I\u2019ll just put a little bit of my background up on the screen there--you can see I was born in Iran as a Muslim who became a Christian 16 years ago. I believe the Lord has given me a greater heart since I\u2019ve become a Christian for Muslims to reach them for Christ. However, as Andy just said, the problem is that over the last number of years we\u2019ve seen an effort within the missional community, within the church community, that has been blending with sort of an ecumenical interfaith side of things. I believe and others believe that this is now a grave danger to the gospel, that there is a perversion of the gospel.\r\n\r\nSo here we are and Islam is growing. And as I said last night, in the last presentation, the only answer is the gospel. It\u2019s THE answer. It\u2019s what changed my life, it\u2019s what changed my heart, it\u2019s what has changed my eternity. And it\u2019s the only thing that\u2019s going to change any person\u2019s heart, including the heart of Muslims--especially those that are steeped in the ideology of Islam and what Islam does to them. You will see again and I was very clear last night for those who were here. And if you were not, I know that you can get those messages on the church\u2019s website. I encourage you to do that if you weren\u2019t here--go listen to those messages. It was incredible what Andy shared yesterday and today, and also what we were able to share about the ideology of Islam, about what we see with Islam\u2019s influence within our nation, our government, our schools, our laws, our national security. But last night it was really to expose Islam as a demonic spirit, as an antichrist spirit, that is set on not only refuting Christianity--denying every tenet of Christianity--but also with a deep-seated hatred for Israel. Islam at its core, as we shared last night, is deeply anti-Semitic because it is satanic at its core.\r\n\r\nToday what we\u2019re going to talk about is where has this notion of this blending of Islam and Christianity come from and how is it expanding, how is it impacting. And you\u2019re going to see some mission organizations, as Andy said, that probably all of you like or support. You\u2019re going to see some ministries, some pastors that we\u2019re going to talk about. And listen, I\u2019m just reporting the facts; I\u2019m not the one who did the stuff. We\u2019re just reporting what has been going on. So we\u2019re going to go through that.\r\n\r\nI do want to remind you that this presentation this morning is on DVD. On our table in the foyer, we have some of the videos from yesterday and today\u2019s presentation on DVD. As I mentioned yesterday, my testimony of becoming a Christian is on the special features of that, as well as the testimonies of two other former Muslims who came to know Christ with very different stories. It\u2019s amazing how the Lord is working.\r\n\r\nI forgot to mention this last night. Andy mentioned Elam (or Iran\/Persia) is going to be a strategic player in a negative way coming against Israel, as far as the nation of Iran. At the same time, as Andy mentioned, Persia was an integral part of God\u2019s plan to rescue Israel throughout those times, including as he mentioned yesterday, throughout the captivity, post-captivity, in the rebuilding of the temple, in the rebuilding of the walls. So there is a special thing that I believe God is doing within the Persian people. We believe that the greatest revival right now in the world is happening inside the Islamic Revolution of Iran and because of the great persecution that has been upon Iran. The statistics are that pre-1979, there were less than a thousand Christians--born again, Muslim-converted Christians (I\u2019m not talking about the Armenian Christians in Iran). Today that number is in the millions, because they can\u2019t even articulate how many there are because of the underground churches and the house churches that are operating under great persecution.\r\n\r\nSo it is really phenomenal as the government of Iran that is demonically inspired\u2026 Folks, those people are not wackos or nut jobs. They are demonically inspired Shiite Muslims who literally believe that they\u2019re ushering in their eschatology, their worldview. That\u2019s why Ahmadinejad, their president, would always pray when you hear him, \u201cI pray for the hastening of the coming of the Mahdi,\u201d because they literally think they are supposed to cause chaos to quicken the coming of their Messiah. So they\u2019re not crazy; they\u2019re just fanatically fundamentally Shiite Muslims who are demonically inspired. But at the same time God is doing a great work.\r\n\r\nSo I stand here, before I get into the presentation, and say this: I am jealous for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am jealous for the Word of God and the name of God, because God is jealous for His name. So therefore the reason this is close to my heart\u2026and I may get a little bit excited during this presentation, so I\u2019m just warning you ahead of time. I\u2019m going to apologize now if I get a little excited, because this perturbs me more than anything. We have no right to change the gospel. We have no right to change the Word of God. We have no permission to pervert something. [clapping] And listen, my blood pressure is already high and this is not good--I just started.\r\n\r\nWhen Jesus came upon this earth and established the way, the path, that He is the only way, truth and life, He didn\u2019t forget about the Muslims. He didn\u2019t go, \u201cOh, gosh, I didn\u2019t think about the Muslims in 2015.\u201d The gospel is the gospel for every generation. And here we are today--you\u2019ll see where we\u2019re perverting, we\u2019re changing, we\u2019re adapting, we\u2019re trying to make it more palatable, we\u2019re trying to make it so it doesn\u2019t offend. And you know that the gospel offends.\r\n\r\nSo what is Chrislam? As Andy mentioned, we\u2019re going to expose Chrislam and get to the root of it. And there are some very obvious parts of it; there are some very seductive subtle parts of it that maybe even some of you are going to experience or have experienced in your churches, in your missional communities.\r\n\r\nI want to start with two Scriptures. One of them was read this morning because this is describing the condition of the church. Remember, this is a retrospective presentation; this is now looking at us as Christians and our responsibility to the great commission and to the reaching out to the lost. This is the verse that we read from 2 Timothy where Paul, in verse 1 of chapter 4, brings that incredible charge, \u201cFor I solemnly charge you\u2026\u201d (I talked about this last night) \u201c\u2026before God the Father and Jesus Christ, the judge of the living and the dead\u2026\u201d to what? \u201c\u2026preach the word \u2026 in season and out of season.\u201d [2 Timothy 4:1-2, \u201cI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearance and His kingdom: [2] preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.\u201d]\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re supposed to preach the entire word, not parts of the word. But then he says in verse 3, \u201cFor the time will come when they\u2026\u201d And I always remind people, who\u2019s the \u201cthey\u201d? He\u2019s talking about the church. He\u2019s not talking about the pagans, the unsaved. \u201c\u2026for they\u2026\u201d (the church) \u201c\u2026will not endure sound doctrine\u2026\u201d The word \u201cendure\u201d if you look in the Greek, it literally means that they\u2019re intolerant to it, that there\u2019s a physiological reaction. Have you noticed if you try to speak righteousness to other Christians who don\u2019t want to hear it and they don\u2019t want to follow the Bible any more, that they get really angry now? They have a vitriolic reaction towards you because they don\u2019t want to hear the word of righteousness any more.\r\n\r\nSo the time will come when they will not want to endure, or tolerate\u2026 Isn\u2019t it amazing how they demand tolerance of us? The world and the liberal Christians demand tolerance of us, but yet they\u2019re going to be intolerant because they are no longer consistent with righteousness. But wanting to have their ears tickled they accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths, to deception, to lies. [2 Timothy 4:3, \u201cFor the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, [4] and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.\u201d]\r\n\r\nBut, here\u2019s the good news for us [2 Tim 4:5]: \u201cBut you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.\u201d Be filled with the Holy Spirit and fulfill your ministry. Jesus Himself warned us in Matthew 24, the passage that is talking about His Second Coming, that those who would deny the tribulation period and the times that we are heading for will deny that Matthew 24 is talking about the Second Coming of Christ. I read the chapter last night again, and I don\u2019t know how you could read that and not understand that it\u2019s warning us about these last days and perhaps preparing for His Second Coming. He said, [Matthew 24:4b] \u201cSee to it that no one misleads you. [5] \u2018For many will come in My name, saying, \u2018I am the Christ,\u2019 and will mislead many.\u201d\r\n\r\nI believe that this is part of this ecumenical movement that we\u2019re seeing--the idea that, \u201cWell, my Jesus, your Jesus, their Jesus, Muslims have Jesus--let\u2019s just all get along.\u201d I don\u2019t think this is just someone who\u2019s coming to pretend to be the Messiah. There are those who are coming in the name of Jesus and yet they\u2019re false, because they\u2019re not bringing in the true gospel and the true Jesus.\r\n\r\nThen one other passage that I shared last night that we\u2019re going to revisit this morning is the fact that the Bible very clearly defines, in 1 and 2 John, an antichrist spirit. It was very clear in 1 John 4 when it says, [1] \u201cBeloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; [3] and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.\u201d So we established last night (and again I encourage you to watch that presentation online) very clearly that Islam fits the bill of an antichrist spirit, because you\u2019ll see very clearly that they not only deny Jesus as God, but that He came in the flesh as God (and they deny every other tenet of Christianity).\r\n\r\nSo what is Chrislam? Let\u2019s break it down as far as what the basic tenets of Chrislam are--the two major tenets of Islam. The number 1 tenet of Chrislam is that Christianity and Islam share a common word. There are many evangelical leaders out there that would say, \u201cWe do not support that Christianity and Islam are the same or have the same God, but we believe that there\u2019s common ground in the Bible and in the Quran, the supposed holy book of Islam.\r\n\r\nNow here\u2019s my question to you: if a book is of God--we believe that the Bible is inerrant of God, correct?--then it\u2019s a divine source. If two sources contradict, can they both be divine? If I could show you today that the Quran contradicts the Bible and the Bible contradicts the Quran, then there\u2019s no way they can be common. This is a ridiculous argument, and yet you\u2019ll see how many Christian leaders today are supporting this concept that there is a common word between Islam and Christianity. And part of it is because they look at the Quran and they see certain stories that are written in the Quran (that, by the way, are perverted stories of the Bible because early on in Mohammed\u2019s history--because he was an illiterate sheepherder in the Arabic peninsula--stories were given to him, and these then eventually get plopped into the Quran).\r\n\r\nRemember (I shared this yesterday), there is no original source for the Quran. There is not one original document source from the time of Mohammed, because he was illiterate. It was never written down. In fact, the earliest that we believe the Quran was even written was by the time of the third caliph. And yet 1.7 billion people are putting their faith and trust in this. And a bunch of Christians are saying now that we have common word with this. Those of us who are former Muslims are going, \u201cOh, my goodness, what dimension am I living in?\u201d Okay, so again, we\u2019re going to refute, but I just wanted to say to you this is what the number 1 tenet is.\r\n\r\nNumber 2 (this gets worse) the claim is that Jehovah God, the God of the Bible, is similar or synonymous to the god of Islam. In fact, one of the things you see within the interfaith movement is this idea of a common Abrahamic faith--the idea that Muslims, Christians, and Jews share an Abrahamic faith. Now why is that not an accurate statement? We put our thinking hats on, right? Do the Jews and Christian share an Abrahamic faith? Everyone should be nodding their heads yes. Do Muslims share an Abrahamic faith? No! Do Arabs share an Abrahamic faith? Yes, because Arabs are descendants of Ishmael. Ishmael was a son of Abraham.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s the problem: only about 15% of the world\u2019s Muslim population are Arab, so the majority of the world\u2019s Muslim population is not Arab. And so how can they make the claim that it\u2019s an Abrahamic faith? That claim is meant for deception, to pull us into this, \u201cOh, see, we all come from the same Father. We all come from the same God.\u201d NO, because I\u2019ll show you very clearly that Allah is from the pit of hell. Sometimes I\u2019m a little too rough, don\u2019t you think? They tell me this; I\u2019m not quite sure why. Sometimes, you know, I want them to say, \u201cTell us how you really feel! Don\u2019t mince your words.\u201d\r\n\r\nOkay, where does the source of this common word come from? Would you be surprised to know that it actually comes from the Quran? So the Quran has a passage that was used to pull Christians into a common word dialogue. Here is Surah 3:64. This is the passage that was used, as I\u2019m going to show you in a minute, in a document called the Common Word document, that has been signed by many (quote unquote) \u201cEvangelical\u201d leaders. And this was the passage that was used by the Muslims to pull the Christians in. \u201cO, people of the book!\u201d I shared last night that when the Quran says, \u201cO, people of the book,\u201d this is talking about people of the Scripture--the Jews and Christians, predominantly the Christians.\r\n\r\n\u201cO, people of the book! Come to a common word between us and you...\u201d You go, \u201cThis is fantastic! We\u2019re going to have a common word dialogue!\u201d But look what it says in the very next line: \u201c\u2026that we worship none but Allah, and that\u2026\u201d First of all, we don\u2019t worship Allah. Number 2, we associate no partners with him. What do you think they\u2019re talking about? The what? Not just Jesus, the Trinity--the entire Trinity. You\u2019ll see many verses today where they deny the Trinity. \u201c\u2026and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah.\u201d So here\u2019s the Shahram Hadian translation of this passage that should be very obvious to you: \u201cHey Christians and Jews, let\u2019s sit down and have a common word dialogue so we can correct you.\u201d\r\n\r\nDid I miss something here? How do you sit down over coffee or over a baklava, or over halal meat and have a common word dialogue so that one can correct the other person--unless we\u2019re being snowed, deceived, and snookered because we don\u2019t know the Quran.\r\n\r\nOkay, so what happened? Well, as a result of this, in 2006 one hundred twenty-eight Muslim scholars got together, experts in Islam. Because that\u2019s what we should do, right? Listen to the Muslims? NO. As I said last night, if you want to know Islam, talk to former Muslims. So they got together to write a document, and anybody want to guess what it was called? A Common Word Between Us and You. I wonder where they got that from?\r\n\r\nSo they wrote this document and they sent it to the Christian community, to us. And it\u2019s supposed to be an effort of outreach. And they say in this document, \u201cListen, we have a common word between us; let\u2019s put our differences aside and let\u2019s find common ground. And, by the way, we believe that we can focus on reconciling our differences.\u201d You go, \u201c1400 years of differences between Islam and Christianity and Judaism and now all of a sudden in 2006 we\u2019ve reconciled?\u201d Apparently. And \u201cOh, by the way, we\u2019re not going to only focus on reconciling on common ground, but we\u2019re going to focus on then building bridges of peace. AND, a couple of things we\u2019ve got to ask you--number one, you need to apologize.\u201d I\u2019m not making this up. You can read the document for yourself; I\u2019ll give you the link in a minute. \u201cYou need to apologize because you guys have wronged us, and so you need to apologize, but we can focus on reconciliation. And oh, by the way, here are the two things of the letter: we have a common love of God, and we have a common love of neighbor. So there you go--we can now have harmony and peace.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo in 2008, a document was drafted at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. That bastion of, you know\u2026Of course Yale used to be a Christian institution, right? So they drafted a response to the Common Word, and it was called Loving God and Neighbor Together: a Christian Response to a Common Word Between Us and You.\r\n\r\nThe reason I\u2019m covering this in the presentation is because this has had probably the most profound impact in missional practice to Muslims. This was basically an agreement that was made between major players in the Islamic world and major players in the Christian community, that \u201cLook, because we have a common ground, we\u2019re not going to basically focus on evangelism. We\u2019re going to focus on building bridges of peace, friendship, and common ground.\u201d\r\n\r\nYou go, \u201cWHAT?\u201d So here\u2019s what this document\u2026 By the way, notice on the screen here, it\u2019s forwarded by Tony Blair (former prime minister of Great Britain, known globalist, known interfaith guy). Okay, so they write this document and here\u2019s what it says. Number 1, we agree to focus on reconciling Christianity and Islam. You go, \u201cHow can you reconcile Islam and Christianity?\u201d Because remember, there\u2019s a common ground according to them.\r\n\r\nNumber 2, we agree that we need to ask for forgiveness, yet they used the term \u201cAll Merciful One.\u201d Now I can promise you, you can do Bible study every day of the week, twice on Sunday, and you will not find the term in the Bible, the \u201cAll Merciful One\u201d describing the God of the Bible. But if you look at the Quran, you will find that term all over the Quran describing Allah. So the Christians ask an apology of Allah. So here people who have signed this document will say, \u201cWe don\u2019t believe it\u2019s the same God.\u201d Then why are you apologizing to that god? And in the letter they say, \u201cWe ask you for forgiveness of two things: one--the Crusades, and two--the war on terror.\u201d I\u2019m not making this up. You\u2019ve got to read the document for yourself. I\u2019m just reporting the facts.\r\n\r\nNow you go, \u201cWell, who in their right mind would sign this document? Who would be deceived enough to sign this document?\u201d Initially over 500 well-known Christian leaders, including Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, John Stott, Leith Anderson (President of the National Association of Evangelicals), almost the entire staff of Fuller Theological Seminary, and probably every major emergent church leader (that doesn\u2019t surprise me, by the way) every major emergent church leader in the country signed this document (put their name on pen to a document) that says, \u201cWe have a common ground between Islam and Christianity, the Bible and the Quran.\u201d\r\n\r\nNow remember, I said to you at the very beginning, if I could show you that Islam is an antichrist spirit, then what does the light of God have to do with the darkness of Satan? And some of you know Walid Shoebat. You\u2019ve heard the name, Walid. I had Walid on our radio show one time and I asked him about the Common Word document, and he said these individuals that signed this document (and I agreed with him 100%) covenanted themselves with the antichrist spirit. That\u2019s how serious this is, folks. I know that people want to reach Muslims, and I know that some of these people probably are sincere in their desire to reach Muslims. But this is a grave error. And when I call out people like Rick Warren, do you know how many times I\u2019ve been chastised by people? \u201cYou have no right to call out Rick Warren!\u201d Well, guess what, I didn\u2019t sign the Common Word Document. \u201cWell, Rick Warren denies that he supports Chrislam.\u201d Of course he denies that he supports Chrislam, because he\u2019s a smart man! You need to ask him, \u201cWhy did you sign the Common Word document?\u201d That\u2019s the question. The reason is because if you watch a pattern of behavior, you see where they\u2019re going. The whole point is to make peace. And I said to you last night, what the antichrist spirit does, what the antichrist wants, is to bring us into a false peace.\r\n\r\nIsn\u2019t that ultimately, Andy, what they\u2019re going to do with Israel? That false peace. The antichrist is going to come and bring false peace with Israel. That\u2019s the same spirit that we\u2019re seeing in this entire ecumenical one-world religion: \u201cOh it\u2019s all the same God; it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d Of course it matters! There\u2019s the website (www.yale.edu\/faith\/acw\/acw.htm). If you want to go look at, read it for yourself. Don\u2019t take my word for it. Read the document.\r\n\r\nOkay, how has this document impacted the church behavior? Well, in 2011 a bunch of churches decided that they were going to do (they didn\u2019t call it a Chrislam Sunday--that was my terminology), but they called it an Interfaith Sunday. They were going to have an Interfaith Sunday where many evangelical churches decided that they were going to focus their Sunday School lessons on the teachings of the prophet of Islam (Mohammed). They were going to have Qurans placed in the pews next to Bibles and be able to bring this dialogue. Some of them even invited the imams to come into the churches. This is a [church] sign of one of the interfaith efforts: \u201cEid Mubarak! Allah blesses you, our dear Muslim brothers and sisters. \u201c\r\n\r\nNow, here\u2019s my question to you, because we know hundreds of churches that participated across the country in 2011 in this glorious Kumbaya day. Now some of them were not real churches. I said this last night, and I\u2019ll probably upset somebody here (maybe, maybe not): I said if you have anybody in your life that claims to be a Christian who says they believe in interfaith dialogue and that they believe in universalism, you need to have the courage through the power of the Holy Spirit and lovingly tell them, \u201cI\u2019m sorry you\u2019re not a Christian.\u201d Agreed or not? Is that accurate or am I again being too harsh?\r\n\r\nThe God of the universe came to this earth and died for you and for me. And so when I carry His name, I carry that name proudly. I\u2019m not one of these people, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t want to say \u2018I\u2019m a Christian.\u2019 I\u2019m a Jesus-follower. I\u2019m one of those Jesus people.\u2019\u201d No, no, I\u2019m a Christian! I\u2019m a Christ-follower. I bear that name just like the Muslims wear those badges on their heads. We need to bear the name of Christ boldly and proudly and stop apologizing for being a Christ-follower. But the interfaith people say, \u201cWell, you know, we\u2019ve\u2026. \u201c No, no! They\u2019re not a Christian, because to follow Christ means to believe that He is the only way, right? Otherwise why would God do this?\r\n\r\nNow here\u2019s the interesting part; here\u2019s my question to you. Several hundred churches--some legitimate evangelical churches, some that were these interfaith, ecumenical churches (that really, in my opinion, are not churches) but bottom line, they have this grandiose moment to really push this agenda for\u2026 How many mosques do you think attended this interfaith event? Zero? You guys have no faith that not one mosque\u2026? You\u2019re absolutely correct. We could not find one mosque that participated in this event. Now there were mosques that had, you know, Ramadan dinners and invited Christians to come and have Ramadan dinner with them while they\u2019re serving halal meat. By the way, you know halal meat is meat that has been sacrificed to an idol. That\u2019s Islamicly-sacrificed meat that has been sacrificed to Allah; it is hung upside down, the throat is cut, and the meat is blessed to Allah. You may want to read Acts 15 about the Jerusalem Council and what the conditions are. So we should be aware of that. By the way, if you go to a lot of stores now, if you buy lamb, you\u2019re probably buying lamb that\u2019s halal-certified, fyi. If you like lamb, like I do, you\u2019re probably going to a butcher that gets specialized lamb, because up in our neck of the woods in Washington State--every Costco store, every major grocery store--all of the meat now that is lamb is all halal-certified. Okay, that was a sidetrack.\r\n\r\nCome back to the mosques. So why would the mosque not engage in this? Anybody want to take a guess? Do you remember what Sirah 3:64 said? Come to a common word so we can correct you. So they pull us into the common word, right? We open our churches for them, put Qurans in our pews, have imams come in and teach about Islam (supposedly, it was a whitewash teaching). Yet not one mosque. Why? Because their teaching in their mosques is that the Bible is corrupt and that Christians are deceived. So they never open their doors, because I\u2019ve said publicly if a mosque opened their doors and allowed me to come in and preach the gospel in that mosque, I\u2019d take the invitation. I may not come back out--that\u2019s okay--but I would take that invitation. [clapping]\r\nThe problem is they\u2019re not opening their doors. They\u2019re not that dumb, thank you! But we are; we did it.\r\n\r\nOkay, can you give us some examples, Shahram? I\u2019ll give you a perfect example. This was in our neck of the woods, in Tacoma, Washington, where a major church\u2026and the reason I\u2019m going to give you the name of the church is because I have fully exercised Matthew 18 with this pastor, to the point of individual meeting, to the point of inviting him to my presentation where he came and watched the entire presentation that you\u2019re watching today, to the point where I went with a witness, another former Muslim. Two former Muslims went to the pastor of this church to bring correction to his action. This is pastor Dean Curry of Life Center in Tacoma, Washington. And what did they do? They invited an imam from Iran into their main services and brought him with his entourage there. And this guy, Imam Mousavi--notice he\u2019s wearing a black turban. The black turban guys in Iran are ayatollahs of the Islamic regime; they believe that the black turban guys are descendants of Ali, so this is like the Iranian government.\r\n\r\nSo my first question was, to anybody that has any law enforcement experience, how did this guy get into Tacoma, Washington? How did he get into the country? We later found out that it was through an interfaith effort that President Obama did with his interfaith guru, Joel Hunter, who had agreed to go to Iran to visit the new Iranian president, Mr. Rouhani, and then he came back and gave the report, \u201cOh, the Iranian president is a moderate.\u201d\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, on that trip, Pastor Joel Hunter--of this big church that Obama supposedly supports or he\u2019s a spiritual advisor [to Obama]--never once brought up Saeed Abedini or any other Christian that was in prison in Iran, and never once said that you need to release these people before we have dialogue with you. In the Iranian deal that we made with them, never once was it brought up that these Christians in Iranian prisons must be released, immediately, before we have any dialogue with you. So Mr. Mousavi comes in and he has his interpreter and his handler, and you can see his interpreter is there and in his hand he\u2019s holding a big Quran. And so what does Imam Mousavi teach? He teaches the congregation at Life Center (six and a half thousand people) through multiple services and satellite services that the Quran esteems Jesus. So that\u2019s why you see these tweets.\r\n\r\nBy the way, we couldn\u2019t get the live video of this presentation because the church deleted it. All of their other services were there, so I had to interview (like a good former law enforcement officer) I had to interview people that had been at the service to get first hand reports. But look at some of the tweets. \u201cAmazing to hear Imam Mousavi from Iran speak today about Jesus.\u201d \u201cWhat an amazing day for Jesus.\u201d Deception? So we met with that pastor. I went with my spiritual father, who is another former Muslim. Two witnesses met with this man. \u201cPastor, this was error.\u201d \u201cNo it wasn\u2019t.\u201d \u201cPastor, you need to correct this.\u201d \u201cNo I don\u2019t.\u201d \u201cPastor, we\u2019re going to call you out.\u201d \u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter. You have no right to call me out. We shouldn\u2019t be calling out other pastors.\u201d That\u2019s what he said to me.\r\n\r\nWell, as you can tell, I follow the Bible. So we warn people about this. Now some people have left that church, thank God. But this is one of these emergent churches\u2014and they claim to be evangelical. Do you think the people in that church were confused? Do you think the people in that church believe that the Jesus of the Quran is the Jesus of the Bible? Right? So how are they going to witness to Muslims now? \u201cHey, Muslims! You guys believe in Jesus too! Did you know that?\u201d How are they going to witness? How are they going to come and tell them the Jesus of the Quran is a counterfeit Jesus?\r\n\r\nSo let me start going through and refuting these things. First of all, let\u2019s refute the whole idea of the common word, because this just off the bat should be the easiest one to refute. There is no common word dialogue. This is nonsense. First of all, the Bible tells us that Jesus is the Word, right? This is very critical, that Jesus is the Word. Of course you know, [John 1:1-2] \u201cIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. [2] He was in the beginning with God.\u201d So we know that this is a major tenet of our Christian faith, that not only is Jesus God but the Bible says He is \u201cthe Word.\u201d So when we have the imagery, for example, of the sword of the Spirit or even the imagery of Jesus returning with something that looks like a sword coming out of His mouth, we know that\u2019s representative of what? Of the power of the Word of God because He is the manifest Word of God.\r\n\r\nWhen I talk to certain Christians they say to me, \u201cWell, you know, there\u2019s parts of the Bible I don\u2019t like. I follow certain parts of the Bible, but I love Jesus.\u201d I go, \u201cNo, you don\u2019t love Jesus, because if you loved Jesus you would love His Word.\u201d You see, I don\u2019t operate in this warm fuzzy middle area. I operate with facts and logic, and people get upset with me sometimes because I\u2019m not being \u201cfeeling\u201d enough. You know what? I am being feeling enough--you can tell I\u2019m a little bit \u201cfeeling\u201d right now, aren\u2019t I? I\u2019m feeling a little bit angry right now! I\u2019m feeling a little bit indignant right now--a little bit, I believe, righteously indignant right now that we\u2019re perverting the very message of God. I am feeling! I know I\u2019m not going to be giving a warm huggy feeling for this type of deception.\r\n\r\nJesus is the Word, and of course we know from what Paul says in Timothy, \u201cAll Scripture is (God-breathed)\u201d inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.\u201d [2 Timothy 3:16] So we know that all Scripture in its original manuscript, original language, is inerrant. That is a major tenet of Christianity. Except, that is not a major tenet now of most of these type of churches, because one of the things that has happened that has stemmed from people like Rick Warren--the emergent church movement and so forth--is the fact that now the very inerrancy of the Word of God has been disputed. That\u2019s how they can get away with this type of nonsense, because the Word of God is not the Word of God. There\u2019s no longer that absolute truth of the Word of God. So my question always to them is, \u201cWell, if you don\u2019t trust parts of the Word, how do you trust your salvation?\u201d Those people love the idea that Jesus is their Savior, right? How do you trust your salvation? If parts of the Word of God are not true or maybe are made up, how do you trust the rest of the Word? This is how critical this is, right?\r\n\r\nNow what is the Quran\u2019s claim? Remember I said to you the Quran very clearly claims that the Bible is corrupted. Here\u2019s another verse, and I\u2019ll be sharing several. Here\u2019s another verse, Surah 5:77 from the Quran. Again, this is titled to the Christians and the Jews, \u201cO People of the Scripture\u2026\u201d How many times is the Quran giving us advice? And my recommendation is, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. But here you go, \u201cO People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many\u2026\u201d\r\n\r\nWho are they talking about? I said to you last night that Islam believes in progressive revelation. Allah supposedly sent Abraham--the people messed it up. Allah sent Moses--the people messed it up. Allah sent David, Allah sent Jesus--everybody messed it up. So now Allah has to bring Mohammed to bring the final revelation. And remember, the same angel Gabriel that comes to Mary, the Muslims believe is the same Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) who came to Mohammed and refutes what was given to Mary and to the apostles in the time of Christ. Same angel, apparently.\r\n\r\nWell, you and I know logically one of them is true and one of them is an absolute lie. There can\u2019t be a 50% lie here, folks. It\u2019s either one is 100% true and one has got to be 100% lie. Correct? In fact, that\u2019s why you\u2019ll see billboards like this around the world. This is out of Australia and it says: The Holy Quran\u2026\u201d (look at what it says on the bottom) \u201c\u2026The Final Testament.\u201d Do you think that\u2019s an accident? Who are these billboards for? Agnostics, lukewarm Christians--Christians who don\u2019t know the Word of God--so that we would come and say, \u201cOh, you know what? Yeah, we messed it up. The Quran is the final message.\u201d And then we have these pastors that invite imams into the churches.\r\n\r\nBut before I go to this next one let me stop there. I could spend half an hour giving you verse after verse about what the Quran claims and I\u2019ll share some others as we go. And I shared with you last night that the Quran denies every major tenet of Christianity. So I just said to you earlier this morning, if I can show you that one source refutes the other source\u2026The Bible claims it is the inerrant holy inspired Word of God. The Quran claims we\u2019ve corrupted Allah\u2019s message and that it\u2019s the final testament. And it refutes every major tenet.\r\n\r\nSo just from a logical standpoint--forget faith--just from a logical standpoint, how can we even have dialogue to say that there is any common word between them? \u201cOh, but there\u2019s stories in the Quran that are in the Bible.\u201d Yes, I shared with you one last night, like the story of Abraham. The Quran says Abraham was going to sacrifice his son. You go, \u201cSo far so good.\u201d Abraham was going to sacrifice Ishmael\u2026 Oops, time out. And Abraham was going to sacrifice Ishmael in Mecca\u2026Oops, wait a second--we\u2019re a bit off. Surah chapter 3 talks about Mary, the mother of Jesus. You go, \u201cSo far so good.\u201d Mary was a virgin, gave birth as a virgin. Of course, they believe that the angel Gabriel blew into her womb (they don\u2019t believe in the Holy Spirit) so they believe it was Gabriel who blew into her and she got pregnant apparently.\r\n\r\nThe Quran is one of the most unscientific books on the planet earth. Anybody that\u2019s a scientist would be sickened by what\u2019s in the Quran as far as their so-called science. So then later in that verse--so far so good, right? --Mary, mother of Jesus, a virgin. And it literally says two lines in that same verse, \u201cMary, the sister of Aaron\u2026\u201d Did I lose anybody here? You go, \u201cAaron? Like Aaron and Moses Aaron? Wasn\u2019t that like 800 years, a thousand years before? She was really old.\u201d [laughter] She would be like the oldest person in the world, right? Wasn\u2019t Methuselah 969? She would smash that record. You go, \u201cWhat the heck?\u201d Oops, just a few details, right? Those few details and many other things make it a completely corrupted book--the Quran (not the Bible). No common word.\r\n\r\nOkay, what about this common God? Let\u2019s look at this now. Is Jehovah and Allah the same? What does the Bible say about Jehovah? We\u2019re going to look at three major characteristics of Jehovah God. Of course, there are thousands we could talk about, but we\u2019re going to look at three major characteristics.\r\n\r\nNumber 1, the Bible is very clear that Jehovah Yahweh is the one and only true God and no other gods shall be worshipped. Exodus 34:14, \u201cFor thou shalt worship no other god\u2026\u201d Why? \u201c\u2026for the LORD, whose name is Jealous,\u201d is jealous for His name. He\u2019s \u201cGod.\u201d And I\u2019ve asked the question of these missionaries--who want to tell me it\u2019s okay to use Allah to describe the God of the Bible--I say, \u201cYou know, didn\u2019t God give us His names in the Bible? I don\u2019t mean in the Greek (Theos, Theos, Theos). I\u2019m talking about in the Old Testament, in the Hebrew: Adonai, El Shaddai, Yahweh, Jehovah. We have obviously the characteristics, Jehovah-Rapha, Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah-Jirah. We named our first son after Jehovah-Jirah: Jeriah, God is our provider. God gave us His name and He\u2019s jealous for His name. How come once He didn\u2019t say, \u201cMy name is Allah, by the way?\u201d And today we have missionaries\u2026you\u2019ll see in just a minute that they\u2019re doing linguistic gymnastics. \u201cOh, you know, the Aramaic was Elohim, and then it was changed over time in the Arabic to Allah.\u201d That\u2019s a new one, by the way, that\u2019s in major missionary circles. Everything I\u2019m telling you folks, I promise you I\u2019m not making up. You can go and research it for yourself. These are the major missionary practices now. So people me and other former Muslims, we are like dinosaurs. We\u2019re like the troublemakers. We don\u2019t get invited to these events very often.\r\n\r\nWhat else does the Bible say about God? This is very important, right? The Bible says that the God of the Bible is a God of Love. \u201cBeloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.\u201d [I John 4:7-8] That is critical to understand the characteristic of God. And I love what Andy said last night, that in the Greek language it allows us to properly explain the different aspects of the love of God. Of course, most of the New Testament, when the word \u201clove\u201d is used it is the word what? Agape, right. That is the commitment love of Christ. It\u2019s not the feely, warm, huggy, fuzzy love, because if Jesus had that kind of love before He was going to the cross, maybe He wouldn\u2019t have gone on the cross, right? But the agape love of God led Him to the cross for us, for humanity. Right?\r\n\r\nOkay, number three, the Bible says\u2014again, very critical--there is no lie in God. \u201cGod is not a man. that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent\u2026\u201d [Numbers 23:19] By the way, these are all from the NASB. \u201c\u2026has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?\u201d Now, this is an important verse, because if we start questioning parts of the Bible as far as not being of God, then we may have to question the very gospel itself. But because we know the Bible says God does not lie like a man\u2026And that\u2019s why Andy\u2019s talking about Israel--if God made that covenantal relationship\u2026 I love what he said, that through the Mayflower Compact and through other compacts, man has tried to make a covenant with God, but that was the only time God made covenant with man.\r\n\r\nAnd so that covenant\u2014that covenant--He can\u2019t break it, because He would be lying. And the moment He lies about that, everything else has to go out the window, right? Including our salvation, and including the Second Coming. So this is very critical that we understand.\r\n\r\nNow, here\u2019s my question, and we\u2019ll spend just a little bit of time on this. Who is Allah? Because now the major accepted missionary practice from groups like Frontiers, SIL, YWAM, and (just recently I found out) even my beloved Voice of the Martyrs are now saying (I have the booklet back on the table, so you can look at it for yourself; I showed you yesterday, Andy, so you can verify) that they are now saying that it is permissible to interchange the word Allah for the God of the Bible, particularly for Arabs, Muslims that are coming to Christ). And, they\u2019re putting it in Bible translations. I\u2019ll show you that in a little bit in the presentation. So this is now permissible practice, because if they will claim Allah simply is a generic Arabic word for God, no big deal. Nothing wrong.\r\n\r\nSo let\u2019s look at who Allah is. I\u2019m going to make the claim and then we\u2019re going to hopefully back it up. You will see that the pre-Islamic Allah was specifically a moon god and a chief god--not just of anybody, but of the tribe of Mohammed. In Mecca there were 360 idols (because remember the old calendar is 360 days) and they had one idol for every day of the year. So they were being worshipped in a place called the Kaaba (I\u2019ll show you a picture of it in just a minute). And as they were being worshipped in a very paganistic Babylonian ritual type of way, there was a chief deity over that place. But the specific God that is associated with Allah was of the tribe of Mohammed (his tribe was called the Qurayash). Why? Because his family was actually responsible for the upkeep and the maintenance of the Kaaba.\r\n\r\nRemember again, we\u2019re talking about pre-Islam, right? Because the claim of these missionaries is that Allah was being practiced pre-Islam. Allah was being used in the Arabic Peninsula even by Arab Christians pre-Islam, and therefore it\u2019s permissible to use it now. So what does the word Allah actually mean? Well, the word Allah does not mean \u201ca\u201d God; it means \u201cthe\u201d God. Now why is the \u201ca\u201d and the \u201cthe\u201d so important? Is that an important distinction?\r\n\r\nIn the beginning was a God, and He was a God. Isn\u2019t that part of the Mormon theology? Am I accurate with that? He was a god--one of many gods. The Bible says \u201cIn the beginning was the God.\u201d He was God. Period--one God. A pretty big difference, right? Well, if we say Allah (the root of Allah, which is the Arabic word Al-ilah, means \u201cthe\u201d God. Al never means \u201ca\u201d in Arabic, by the way. Al means \u201cthe.\u201d So He\u2019s \u201cthe\u201d God. We go, \u201cThe God of what?\u201d He was the God of the Kaaba. So the Kaaba that was being worshipped--this black building that now they worship in Mecca--the hajj\u2026Remember I talked to you about one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the hajj, where they go to Mecca on their lifetime pilgrimage? Well, this Kaaba was being ritualistically worshipped before Mohammed. They had idols in them, and so the Kaaba was actually called Beit-Allah (the House of Allah). You go, \u201cWell, why was it a house?\u201d Because he was the chief god, the chieftain god, over the 360 idols. He was being worshipped as the chief god over 360 idols.\r\n\r\nNow missionaries today will say, \u201cWell, when we talk about using Allah, this is the same example of Paul going to Mars Hill in Athens.\u201d And you remember the \u201cunknown statue?\u201d And he said, \u201cWell, this is an unknown statue; you guys are wrong. Let me show you who the real God is.\u201d And he took them to that journey. And they\u2019ll claim, \u201cThis is the same thing we\u2019re saying. Allah is just unknown, he\u2019s generic, and we\u2019re just coming along and telling the Muslims, \u201cNo, no--Allah is the God of the Bible.\u201d There\u2019s a problem though, right? You can see the problem.\r\n\r\nFirst of all we have the pre-Islamic problem. Then we have the post-Islamic problem. The pre-Islamic problem was Allah was not generic. He was being worshipped as a chieftain deity. He\u2019s not a generic; it\u2019s not the same example of the unknown god of a statue because he was known. It\u2019s his house! He had a house! Now Mohammed claimed that once he came from Medina back to Mecca, I said yesterday he had made a ten-year treaty called the Treaty of Hudabaiyah, which of course he broke. (Remember I told you yesterday Iran and the U.S. made the same agreement, ten years.) Mohammed goes back to Mecca and supposedly then after the revelation from Allah that they\u2019re supposed to go back to monotheism, he goes back in there and destroys all of the idols, except he keeps one. It happens to be the god of his tribe and that god had a specific identity and name. Here\u2019s the name of that God: Hubal, or Hu-Baal. Now who is Hubal? Anybody want to guess? He\u2019s Baal, but specifically it was Baal tied to moon worship. So he\u2019s the moon deity. In the Kaaba right in that corner, right here in this corner by these big doors, there\u2019s a black rock, it\u2019s right here, you can\u2019t really see it in this picture. Before Islam, that black rock had been in this thing and they believe, according to tradition, that it had fallen from the moon. It was a meteor and they were worshipping it.\r\n\r\nWhen Mohammed comes on the scene, he says, \u201cNo, no, no--that\u2019s wrong. That rock was the rock that Abraham was going to sacrifice Ishmael on. And they basically made a metal form for it which very bizarrely (I know that\u2019s not a right word) looks like the female body part. And now Muslims go to that place. My spiritual father, Pastor Mark\u2026Remember I told you the story last night that he was praying, and he was told that he was praying in the wrong accent because he had gone to Mecca on a pilgrimage? He was praying right in that corner, and they\u2019re told now that Muslims have no guarantee of salvation except martyrdom. They\u2019ve got to become a Shahid. But if they choose not to become a Shahid, then they must be a good Muslim--but they must go to the hajj, touch that stone, kiss that stone, and maybe\u2014maybe--that will get them extra points. Remember Andy was talking about its works-based? So that\u2019s why they go to that corner. But that was being worshipped pre-Mohammed as a pagan image: Hubal, the moon god.\r\n\r\nNow watch this. Remember I said earlier Mohammed\u2019s father, uncle, grandfather are all tied into the Kaaba. In fact, his father\u2019s name was Abdullah. Abdullah means the slave of Allah, so if Allah was just a generic term for God\u2026 Can you imagine someone being called Joe God? That doesn\u2019t make sense, does it? But if there was a name that was tied to a specific deity, like Allah, it would have more connotation. So his name is tied to that deity; it\u2019s not an unknown deity. So what is it? Allah was Hu-Baal. Allah is Hu-Baal. Allah is the pagan god of the moon. And these missionaries will say, \u201cBut listen, we are bringing them the revelation of the true God. It\u2019s just like what Paul did.\u201d I said, \u201cWrong! It\u2019s not just like what Paul did. What Mohammed did is just like what Paul did. Mohammed comes and tells the people in Mecca, \u2018Look, you\u2019re worshipping this false god. Let me now tell you who he is.\u2019\u201d And he brings the revelation of the Quran, the revelation of Islam. And today we have a revelation of who Allah is. He is no longer unknown. He is no longer a generic god or a god of idols. He is the god of Islam.\u201d And these missionaries are telling me, \u201cListen, Arab Christians over in the Middle East, when they pray they can pray and differentiate between the little Allah, (this is literally; I have the email that I got from a missionary) the little allah and the big Allah. The little allah is the unknown allah; the big Allah is the Allah of Islam.\r\n\r\nI go, \u201cWhat?\u201d They\u2019ll say, \u201cWell, they\u2019ve been doing it,\u201d or they\u2019ll say, \u201cOh, you know, the Arabic Bible translations--they use Allah.\u201d I go, \u201cYeah, but the first Arabic Bible translation, if you look at the conservative numbers, wasn\u2019t done until maybe the 8th century, some say about the 10th century. Well, that was way after Islam had already sacked Europe. You don\u2019t think Islam has an influence in destroying cultures and languages when it takes over?\u201d So we have to understand all of these things are corrupted. They\u2019re trying the old Aramaic route. They\u2019re trying the whole aspect of, \u201cWell, Arab Christians do it.\u201d And the bottom line is, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s wrong!\r\n\r\nBy the way, in Arabic\u2026There\u2019s a gentleman that we had on our radio show, a brother in the Lord, George Houssney, who is from Lebanon. He\u2019s a former Muslim, speaks fluid Arabic. And George actually is one of the ones who confronted some of these mission organizations--including Frontiers and Wycliffe--that I\u2019ll talk about, on corrupted Bible translations. One of the practices that Wycliffe was doing, which they later corrected, was the fact that they were allowing people to translate in their own culture. You know how the Bible says \u201cLamb of God?\u201d Well, they were allowing them to translate the \u201cLamb of God\u201d into whatever animal was reverant for them. So the Bible will read as \u201cthe cow of God,\u201d or \u201cthe dog of God\u201d because it was contextual. And he was saying, \u201cNo, no, no, no, no! You can\u2019t do that; that\u2019s not a contextual argument. It\u2019s \u2018the Lamb of God\u2019 in every culture!\u201d Okay, remember I said to you earlier, this is pre-Islam? Pre-Islam. This is historically based. Most Muslims don\u2019t know the history of this. This is historically based where we know what the pagan roots of Allah were. You can never say that it was a generic deity.\r\n\r\nBut what\u2019s post-Islam? What does the Quran say about Allah? Well, the Quran says many things about Allah, but here\u2019s what the Quran doesn\u2019t say about Allah. Do you know the Quran never says about Allah that he\u2019s a God of love? Not one place in the Quran does it say that Allah is a God of love. What does the Bible say about if it\u2019s not love, it\u2019s not of God? God is a God of love, right? Remember I also said that in the Bible, God says He does not lie? Right? Who\u2019s the liar in the Bible? Satan. What is he called? The father of lies. In the Quran there are 99 names that are ascribed to Allah. Here\u2019s one of those names. \u201cAllah Khayrul-Makereen\u201d or \u201cAl Makr. \u201dI covered this last night\u2014Makereen. Makereen, Al Makr, means \u201cdeceiver.\u201d Khayrul means \u201cthe chief of.\u201d So Allah is \u201cthe chief of the deceivers.\u201d That\u2019s why, as I covered last night, not only is lying permissible in Islam, it is in fact part of Sharia law. They have obligatory lying to protect the umma (the community). Why? Because Allah is the chief of the liars.\r\n\r\n\u201cOh, but it\u2019s the same God, Shahram. You need to calm down, go on a vacation.\u201d I\u2019ve asked my wife. I\u2019ve tried to go on vacations. I come back and I\u2019m still dealing with this stuff! It doesn\u2019t go away! In fact, it\u2019s getting worse! This is why we have the concept in Islam, in the early house of Islam\u2026 Remember I told you about three types of lying that are permitted? The type of lying that is permitted is called Taqiyya, which is supported by verses in the Quran and in the Reliance of the Traveler (ROT means the Reliance of the Traveller, which is this book that I talked about, which is accepted Islamic law). In their source of Islamic law, lying is permissible because why? Allah did it. And Mohammed did it. This is the core of Islam. Even to the point where, remember, they are able to lie and say they\u2019re a Christian--unless you ask them to denounce something of Islam.\r\n\r\nNow I want to bring up something very interesting that I haven\u2019t brought up before. I was talking to Andy about this and I thought maybe we could explore this today. And I\u2019m not presenting to you as \u201cthus saith the Lord;\u201d I\u2019m just saying this is something that\u2019s very interesting. Many of you know that\u2026 well not this part, Allah is satanic, that part is for sure, so don\u2019t worry about that. Many of you know that there are some who refute the idea that the passage in Isaiah 14:12, which many do believe describes the fall of Satan from heaven, some have said, \u201cWell, this was a governmental leader.\u201d I personally don\u2019t support that view; I think it is what it is. Now the King James takes a big leap, and I put it here, not to say that it\u2019s correct but just so I don\u2019t support the translation there. \u201cHow art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.\u201d In the NASB and every other translation, it does not use the word \u201cLucifer\u201d because in the Hebrew that word is Halal (or helel).\r\n\r\nNow I just talked about Halal. The word Halal in Islam means \u201cclean,\u201d means \u201cpure.\u201d But the Halal of the Hebrew language, that word means \u201ca bright light\u201d or \u201ca bright moon.\u201d It\u2019s talking about a new moon. It\u2019s not talking about the sun; it\u2019s talking about the light that the moon gives off. So it\u2019s been translated a bright moon or shining moon. When the passage then uses the term \u201csun of the morning,\u201d the word Halal or Helel is used for the word Lucifer. So in the Hebrew you don\u2019t see the word \u201cLucifer.\u201d You see the word Halal.\r\n\r\nThe next word in there, \u201cson of the morning\u201d is translated in the Hebrew \u201cBen Sahar,\u201d son of the morning (or morning star). So now you put those two together and what do you get? Halal Ben Sahar, or Helel Ben Sahar. Bright moon, shining moon, son of the morning. Now who is the real son of the morning? Christ, right? He is the Son of the Morning Star, correct. Now, what\u2019s the symbol of Islam? The moon and the star. But that\u2019s just a coincidence probably. Or, could it be that all along, God has warned us of what to look for if we understand what we\u2019re looking for from the Word of God? The description of the fall of Satan from heaven, which personally I believe is the only way you can really ascribe this--that it is not talking about an earthly king, but it is talking about Satan himself. But I know some believe that. But it\u2019s interesting--the wording--isn\u2019t it?\r\n\r\nSo then I was praying, \u201cLord, is there anywhere in the Bible that we\u2019re given the word Allah?\u201d Because all the people are saying, \u201cOh, it\u2019s the same god, same god, same god.\u201d Is there anything You can show me from Your Word? So then I was looking at the next passage, the very next passage, in Isaiah 14:13, \u201cBut you said in your heart\u2026\u201d Who\u2019s he talking to? Who\u2019s the you? Well, it\u2019s talking about Satan if that is the context, right? \u201cI\u2026\u201d Satan says, \u201c\u2026I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo I\u2019m doing a word search, I\u2019m looking at the original language, and I go, \u201cWhat\u2019s the word \u201cascend?\u201d And all of a sudden it jumps out as the word \u201calah.\u201d I go, \u201cWell, that\u2019s another coincidence.\u201d Now, it\u2019s spelled differently, as you notice, in the Hebrew, but it is the same context\r\n--alah. And so I thought well, that\u2019s interesting. Could it be that God is revealing to us, certainly from the language, because who is He describing? Satan falling from heaven, being the bright moon and the morning star, mimicking\u2026By the way, what also is Satan called? Lucifer. What does that mean? Bearer of light. He masquerades as an angel of light. And therefore in the next passage, the word \u201cascend\u201d is the word \u201calah\u201d in the Hebrew. Again, just for your information. It may mean nothing, but it\u2019s describing, I believe, very clearly, the characteristic of Satan. But it\u2019s very interesting, right? Halal Ben Sahar.\r\n\r\nNow I want to wrap up the argument part of going back and forth, because I hope I\u2019ve shown you there is no common word. I hope I\u2019ve shown you there is no common God. Now can you see why I\u2019m so adamant, and others who are former Muslims are so adamant, with these missionary organizations and these church pastors. We are saying to them, \u201cStop using the term Allah to describe the God of the Bible. It\u2019s not contextual. It\u2019s not cultural. It is a spiritual element. It describes a spiritual entity. Allah is not an unknown god. Allah is a known God. And even if Allah before Mohammed was an unknown God, Mohammed came and did what Paul did--he showed us, \u201cHere\u2019s the unknown god; let me tell you who he is.\u201d And that god refutes everything about the God of the Bible. It can\u2019t be the same God. This is error, error, error. And I have lost friends, I have lost pastor friends, I have been uninvited to churches, I have been uninvited to mission conferences, or not invited to mission conferences, because I\u2019m one of those sticky people who refuses to call the God of the Bible Allah.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s talk about Jesus now. Remember, they brought the imam to talk about Jesus. The Bible says about Jesus some incredible characteristics, the most important being that He\u2019s the Son of the living God. Now I\u2019m not going to have time to read this verse that you see there, but you clearly know that Jesus claimed equality with the Father and He claimed deity. I know some people say, \u201cWell, we believe Jesus is the Savior but we don\u2019t believe He was God.\u201d I don\u2019t know how you could read the Scriptures and believe what he said and not know that He was claiming He was God. You may not agree that He was God, but He claimed He was God. Remember the \u201cI am\u201d statement? Just the \u201cI am\u201d statement alone\u2026 but we know that He was the Son of the living God.\r\n\r\nNow here\u2019s the other important part. We know that He was fully God, then became fully man. Remember what that passage from Paul said in Timothy? Any spirit that denies that Jesus has come in the flesh is what? The spirit of antichrist. [1 John 4:2-3, \u201cBy this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; [3] and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.\u201d] The Bible says, \u201cThe word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and full of truth.\u201d [John 1:14] This is critical.\r\n\r\nThen lastly we know the Bible says that He is the only, only, only, only--a couple of more onlys--path of salvation. \u201cJesus said to him, \u2018I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.\u2019\u201d [John 14:6]. And yet how many Christians today are starting to believe in universalism? \u201cWell, maybe he didn\u2019t mean \u2018only.\u2019 Maybe he meant \u2018mainly.\u2019 Maybe he was, you know, the main way, but he wasn\u2019t the only way.\u201d What are we doing when we say that? Exactly--we are denying Christ before men! And I take what he said seriously: \u201c\u2026whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father\u2026\u201d [Matthew 10:33] See, I take that pretty seriously, folks. I don\u2019t know about you, so I\u2019m not going to deny Him before men.\r\n\r\nOkay, what does the Quran say about this Jesus? \u201cRemember, it\u2019s the same! We just have a couple of minor differences, but the Quran esteems Jesus.\u201d Well, Jesus is mentioned over 97 times in the Quran, but every time he\u2019s mentioned--by the way, it\u2019s \u201cIsa\u201d in the Quran--every time he\u2019s mentioned, he\u2019s mentioned as a prophet (a Prophet of Allah only). So right off the bat, the Quran clearly denies the deity of Jesus.\r\n\r\nNumber 2, the Quran denies the fact that He\u2019s come in the flesh. This is another billboard that I covered with you last night, where you see Muslim groups put this stuff up again for Christians (I believe) Jesus is the prophet of Islam. Notice, He\u2019s only a prophet. Here\u2019s a verse out of Surah 5 where the Jesus of the Quran--the Isa of the Quran--himself denies the Jesus of the Bible. \u201cThe Messiah has said\u2026\u201d Notice they call Him Messiah, but look what He says, \u201c\u2026Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden Him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire\u2026\u201d So if you associate any partners with Allah (this is the Jesus of the Quran) you\u2019re going to go to hell. The Messiah (according to him, the son of Mary) was not but a messenger. That means that he was not but a prophet. So all you Christians, stop saying He was God--according to Islam.\r\n\r\nIt goes on to say, if you don\u2019t think that was strong enough, \u201cAnd they say\u2026\u201d (this is claiming about Christians again, the People of the Book) \u201c\u2026the Most Merciful (Allah) has taken (for Himself) a son\u2026\u201d Now you think that they don\u2019t feel strongly about this? Watch this: \u201c\u2026Assuredly you utter a hideous thing, whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins;\u2026\u201d if you say that Allah has a son. Is that pretty strong?\r\n\r\nClearly in the Quran, clearly in Islam, Allah is not a father, is not a son. I showed you last night Surah 1:12, verse 4 that actually says Allah is not begotten nor does He beget. And Muslims pray that at least 15 times a day in their daily prayers, reciting it in perfect Arabic. Remember I said to you last night, most Muslims do not speak Arabic. They have to learn to pray in Arabic in order to do their daily prayers, even though they don\u2019t speak Arabic. Because Allah--and I\u2019m being facetious--I\u2019m going to tell you here, Allah is so powerful that he only understands one language. Let that settle in for a minute. \u201cI\u2019m the God of the universe. All of you have to learn to speak my language.\u201d\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s another billboard that I showed you last night, meant for lukewarm Christians to convert us from that group ICNA, The Islamic Circle of North America. This is in Norcross, Georgia. \u201cFind Jesus in the Quran,\u201d Surah 3:45.\u201d Well, that\u2019s the chapter that says Jesus was born to Mary, a virgin. And people are going to say, \u201cSee, it\u2019s the same.\u201d But that\u2019s the chapter that says Mary was the sister of Aaron. Do you think if you actually called 1-877-W-H-Y-I-S-L-A-M\u2026And I told you you\u2019d better not. I shouldn\u2019t say I told you; that\u2019s not very nice. I\u2019m begging you, make sure you never call that number, okay? Unless--unless--you plan on calling them and evangelizing them. That may be something the Lord may lead you to do. But you need to understand what the Quran says in its totality, which is why we\u2019re here, why we\u2019re doing this, and why these conferences are so important for us to get the message out.\r\n\r\nNow, before I go any further I want to ask you this: Is it clear that the two Jesuses are opposites of each other? One refutes the other. One is the true God and one is the counterfeit. So the Jesus of the Quran denies not only the Jesus of the Bible\u2019s deity, but that He came in the flesh, that he is the Son of God, and that He\u2019s God. According to 1 John, that\u2019s the spirit of antichrist. So what I covered last night--Islam being in denial\u2014was that Islam denies the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Islam denies the crucifixion ever happened. Islam denies the resurrection ever happened. Islam denies the Father and the Son. Islam denies Isaac as the legitimate seed of the blessing given to Abraham.\r\n\r\nBy the way, why is that so critical? Why is it so critical that the seed of Abraham--the legitimate covenantal seed--is Isaac and not Ishmael? [someone answers] Well, it would make the Jews not legitimate, but there\u2019s one more important reason. The Messiah--the prophecy of the lineage of Messiah. If you break that seed, you break the lineage. Isn\u2019t that what Satan wants to do? Well, he\u2019s brought Islam to do it for him, right?\r\n\r\nAnd lastly, Islam denies Jesus\u2019s return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, because of the fact that they believe that He\u2019s going to come back as a prophet and be a sidekick (I covered this last night) for their messiah. Now here\u2019s the news that I know all of us know here but I have to say it. They\u2019re going to be eternally wrong. This is why this is so serious and why we need to be bold with the gospel to share with Muslims to rescue them out of this demonic garbage (as I was rescued). Because why? Because we know Jesus is coming back. He is coming back as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And He\u2019s coming back to step on this earth to judge all human beings, to separate the sheep from the goats. And people who are going to be wrong are eternally wrong.\r\n\r\nWe have to love Muslims enough to not just go and sit and have a meal with them, or go and have a hot dog with them, or go and have halal meat with them. We have to love Muslims enough to share the gospel with them. And the gospel isn\u2019t just friendship. The gospel is the message of repentance. We still believe in the blood, right? We still believe in the cross, right? We still believe in the atonement, right?\r\n\r\nI\u2019m going to wrap up by covering very briefly\u2026In fact, we are working on another presentation that I\u2019m going to be putting out specifically to refute and to work on this Chrislamic influence, or what some would call an Islamized missional practice now. Because we have groups in missions that are promoting the common word document, and they\u2019re promoting Allah and Jehovah. I\u2019ve mentioned to you some of them, but this is one that\u2019s coming into the churches. There are a lot of missionary organizations that are using this to come into the churches in the mission groups and they\u2019re called Hub Communities. They want to encourage Christians to find Muslims as friends and build friendships.\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t have a problem with that part of it, but then as you read the Hub community pamphlet, you start seeing that it goes further. They say. \u201cWell, we want to encourage you to have a Bible study.\u201d But what they really mean is, \u201cWe want to encourage you to have a Bible slash Quran [Bible\/Quran] study because the goal is what? Find common ground. What they also will call it is things like \u201cbridge building.\u201d Here are some groups: Crescent Project, Camel Method, King\u2019s Way Document. These are bridge building. The idea is let\u2019s open the Quran, let\u2019s open the Bible, find common passages, and then bring them to the Bible. The problem is if you do that, you\u2019re acknowledging that the Quran is somehow correct.\r\n\r\nAnd what they do with the Quran studies that I\u2019ve seen with these hub community folks is the people that\u2026 Listen, these are people that are in churches, right? How many Christians in churches do you think have any kind of a deep knowledge of Islam? So they go into a Bible study with Muslims, a lot of whom are well versed and well trained. They\u2019ve been taught in their mosques how to critique Christians. Isn\u2019t that what I showed you today from all these verses? You Christians, you\u2019re wrong. The Bible is corrupt. Jesus isn\u2019t God. There\u2019s no Holy Spirit. There\u2019s no Father. On and on and on and on.\r\n\r\nAnd then as Christians we don\u2019t know how to refute it. They open the Quran and we don\u2019t know what it says in the Quran, so they\u2019ll pick and choose pieces of the Quran and you won\u2019t know. This is very dangerous, and as I said, the Hub Community starts well but then it goes off the track. The major sponsor of the Hub Community is Frontier. Frontier is supporting things like the Insider Movement. You go, \u201cWhat\u2019s the Insider Movement?\u201d In fact, actually even now, unfortunately many YWAM bases (we verified this) are supporting SIL. They\u2019re supporting the idea of the Insider Movement.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s what the Insider Movement says: Muslims can accept Jesus Christ as Savior but stay as a Muslim for a time. They\u2019re called insiders. So what happens is the Muslim gets saved, let\u2019s say (or supposedly saved). But maybe they\u2019re afraid of persecution and they don\u2019t want to tell their families. So the missionary says to those Muslims, \u201cGo back to your family. Don\u2019t tell them you\u2019re a Christian. And if they ask you, tell them you\u2019re still a Muslim, go to the mosque, do your prayers, don\u2019t change anything until such time as it\u2019s safer for you to come out. That\u2019s the Insider Movement. This is again a major, major movement within the missional practices.\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve talked to a missionary from the Philippines who\u2019s worked in the wake of this Insider Movement, and he has told me even of those ones that may be legitimately converted to Christianity, 85% will go back to Islam because they never had a true faith. Because what is the true faith? The Spirit of God is saying come out. But the missionaries will say, \u201cOh no, no--Islam is just a cultural phenomenon.\u201d Have I not shown you and hasn\u2019t Andy shown you that Islam is a demonic antichrist phenomenon? It\u2019s a spiritual phenomenon. Can you imagine telling somebody that\u2019s a former Satanist or Wiccan into satanic worship that, \u201cListen, you can become a Christian but still go to the temple, do your satanic prayers, do your whatever, do your incantations?\u201d Can you imagine saying that to them? No. Would the Spirit of God say that to them?\r\n\r\nAnd here\u2019s another thing. Would the Spirit of God lead us to tell somebody to lie to people? Don\u2019t tell people you\u2019re a Christian. If they ask you, you tell them you\u2019re a Muslim. Isn\u2019t that encouraging lying? Isn\u2019t that encouraging denying Christ? But apparently it\u2019s now a tactical missional approach. And Shahram, you just don\u2019t get it--it works! NO it doesn\u2019t! But it gets worse.\r\n\r\nThe next one is called--this is where emergent church people are doing this--it\u2019s called Messianic Muslims. You go. \u201cHuh? This is where they believe you can be a Muslim and a Christ-follower forever. It\u2019s called the Common Path. Do we have time to watch a one-minute video? I\u2019m going to show you this video. This is an emergent group that is presenting on the idea of this Common Path. The Common Path is the idea that Muslims and Christians don\u2019t need to come across the aisle. They just can go and find a straight path to the kingdom of God, but watch what he calls the kingdom of God. Go ahead and play that video please.\r\n\r\n[Video: \u201cCommon Path Alliance.\u201d So let\u2019s say this circle represents the Kingdom of God (or in Arabic you could say Mulaqaat Allah). Now this circle represents Christians. This circle represents Muslims. What\u2019s happened for so many years is that Christians have been telling Muslims, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to come over into our circle, become a Christian, and that\u2019s the only way you can come into the kingdom of God.\u201d But Muslims have been saying, \u201cHey, come over here! You\u2019ve got to become a Muslim. That\u2019s how you really know God and are able to move in the right direction. But really, those things aren\u2019t the issue. The real issue is how can we both move into the Kingdom of God and find a straight path to God. That is the question. [End of video]\r\n\r\nSo for all these years, specifically for 2,000 years, we\u2019ve been saying to non-Christians \u201cYou need to become a Christian to enter the kingdom of God.\u201d Apparently that\u2019s been wrong. You don\u2019t need to become a Christian to get into\u2026. Notice he calls it Mulaqaat Allah, the kingdom of Allah, because they believe Allah is synonymous for God. In fact, I\u2019ll give you one quick example. My spiritual father was at a mission conference in Portland, and the president of the Seattle Pacific University, a so-called Christian college in Seattle, was down at that conference speaking. At the end of her message, she shouted out as her closing prayer, Allah Akbar! Because after all, Allah is synonymous for God, and Allah Akbar means \u201cAllah is the Greatest.\u201d So, no problem, right?\r\n\r\nSo these guys are promoting this. You know that church in Tacoma that brought the imam? I found out after that their pastor had been teaching this to their staff, the Common Path. And then what\u2019s interesting is Muslims, in their daily prayers--one of their prayers is for Allah to show them the straight path. So here come (forgive me for saying this) ignorant stupid missionaries and say to them, \u201cNo, no. You don\u2019t need to become a Christian. Forget all that stuff. You can find the straight path into the kingdom of Allah.\u201d Now folks, the Insider Movement, I would say, is grave error because I think there are many missionaries that are well-meaning, well-intended. This is heresy, let\u2019s be clear! This is heretical! This is heresy! This is denying Christ, because my question to you then is, \u201cWhy did Christ come if he is not the only way, if He is not the only path?\u201d\r\n\r\nAnd lastly, I want to show you this, and that is our Bible translations. This is what irks me the most. I\u2019ve left it to the end so if my blood pressure gets high then I can just get off the stage and go pass out. No, I\u2019m not going to seriously pass out; I\u2019m just kidding. I don\u2019t want anybody to get upset. All your elders are going to come over there and get worried that I\u2019m going to fall\u2026.\r\n\r\nOkay. Corrupted Bible translations. What\u2019s happening? Well, here\u2019s the problem that we\u2019re having. This is where, as I said, we actually did a radio show on this, actually a couple of radio shows that were done on this issue with George Houssney, but this is a major issue. We know for years that Bible translators, you know, it\u2019s a very difficult job, right, translating the Bible into the hundreds of languages that are there. And the key there is we want to make sure that we are looking for words in the culture that can describe the words in the Bible. However, the premise is that when there\u2019s a term in the Bible that is a specific term, you have to make sure that you don\u2019t lose the context of that term when you\u2019re translating. I\u2019ve talked to many translators, for example, that have translated Bibles into Farsi, the language of Iran, and we\u2019ve talked about this issue that you\u2019re got to be very careful when there\u2019s a specific connotation.\r\n\r\nSo for example, is the term \u201cFather\u201d or \u201cHeavenly Father\u201d important? It\u2019s critical, right? Because we know that the Bible teaches us Father, Son, Holy Spirit--the characteristics of the Father and the Son. God is our Father. By the way, when I became a Christian, my dad was very upset that I converted. Fortunately he didn\u2019t want to kill me, but he did disown me. Day three of being a Christian, when I told him, he disowned me. So on day three of being a Christian, God became my Father. Do you hear what I\u2019m saying? God became the Father to the fatherless. I had no problem understanding this concept right away. But the missionaries were saying, \u201cWell, Muslims don\u2019t understand. This will offend them because the Quran says Allah is not a Father, nor has a Son.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo here\u2019s the solution. When we\u2019re translating it, let\u2019s take those terms out and let\u2019s replace it with the word Allah. So every major Arabic translation now that we see in the world, in those that are called Muslim-friendly Bibles, has now the word Allah for every reference to God, including every reference to God as Father. So every time Jesus would have called God the Father it says Allah. And every time that it says Son of God. they just took that term out, because Muslims don\u2019t understand the Son of God. They would be offended by it. It\u2019s going to get in the way.\r\n\r\nEverything I\u2019m telling you is what I\u2019ve heard. It\u2019s what they\u2019re telling me. Now what happened was George Houssney led a revolt because he had gone to Wycliffe. He approached Wycliffe. He exercised Matthew 18; he went to them directly. They wouldn\u2019t change their practices. So he led a boycott and 13,000 Assemblies of God churches boycotted Wycliffe. That was big bucks. So Wycliffe said, \u201cOh, okay, you\u2019ve got our attention now.\u201d So they went and presented themselves to the international panel--both the people that were what we call contextualists (who believed this was a contextual issue) and noncontextualists. That panel then said to Wycliffe, \u201cYou need to stop doing this. You can\u2019t do this.\u201d And Wycliffe has not stopped. In fact, Wycliffe claims that this never happened and it claims that it\u2019s fixed any errors. It has not. These Bibles are still being produced in America and around the world, specifically translations into Arabic.\r\n\r\nNow hopefully you\u2019re tracking with me and you know what the Bible says about changing the gospel. What did Paul say? If anybody presents to you a gospel other than what they have presented, what did Paul say? Let him be accursed. Whoooo! What about verses about changing the Word of God? This is gravely serious. And here\u2019s the worst part of this\u2014well, maybe it\u2019s not the worst part, because the worst part is touching the Word of God--but here\u2019s one of the bad parts. Local missionaries have said this--local indigenous missionaries who are trying to reach Muslims in countries\u2014are telling these western missionaries, \u201cStop doing this. We don\u2019t need this nonsense to reach Muslims.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnd so they\u2019ve said, and I will say, you know what we\u2019re doing? We\u2019re actually proving the Quran correct. The Quran says the Bible is corrupted, right? The Quran says you shouldn\u2019t say God is Allah the Father, we shouldn\u2019t say there\u2019s a Son, we shouldn\u2019t say there\u2019s a Holy Spirit. So what happens? We accommodate and change our Bibles. My Lord, my God, what are we doing? This is on us, and this is not reaching Muslims. This is not rescuing\u2026by the way, we don\u2019t have this problem in Iran because in our language, there\u2019s a generic term for God, khodah. And I\u2019ve talked to Bible translators and they don\u2019t do this nonsense with the Iranian Bibles. But it is specifically an Arab issue, but now they\u2019re making it a Muslim issue.\r\n\r\nSo let me wrap up because we\u2019ve got to stop. There\u2019s so much more I can share, but I just want to wrap up and say this, because we talked about what can we do? This is why the truth is so important, right? We need the truth; we need to know what\u2019s happening. As Andy said at the beginning, this is on us. This is what we are doing: we\u2019re capitulating to the demands of an antichrist spirit because we think that we can be more effective in reaching\u2026 Remember I said at the beginning that God didn\u2019t forget about Muslims when He came up with the gospel? It\u2019s the same gospel yesterday as it is today, as it is forever.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve got to wake up! The church has got to wake up to what\u2019s going on. This whole conference is about understanding that Islam is a threat. We have been breached. But Andy brought to you and I\u2019ve tried to bring to you that it\u2019s nothing that we\u2019re afraid of. We need to put on our armor, get ready for these spiritual and physical battles, and be about the kingdom of God--be about the message of God\u2019s Word and stand in this hour. We\u2019re not afraid of Islam. Why are we afraid of Muslims? What can a Muslim do to me? \u201cOh, they can kill you.\u201d Great! They\u2019re doing me a favor. Paul says \u201cto live is Christ, to die is gain.\u201d So they\u2019re doing me a favor if I get to go see the Lord that much sooner.\r\n\r\nBut guess what? My life is in God\u2019s hands. Your life is in God\u2019s hands. So let\u2019s not worry about how many days we have. Be faithful, pray for protection and be about the work of the kingdom and the work of fulfilling your ministry. Let\u2019s leave the rest into God\u2019s hands. Let\u2019s stop being afraid. By the way, capitulation doesn\u2019t work with an antichrist spirit. You remember how Jesus confronted the demons? You stand your ground. \u201cI rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Get away from me, Satan.\u201d So that\u2019s why we need to take authority in our communities over Islam being watchmen on the wall. We need to speak the truth in love. We need to stop compromising God\u2019s Word. What permission do we have to do this type of stuff? None.\r\n\r\nThen we need to remember, as I said yesterday, the gospel is offensive. When you share the gospel with a Muslim, as Paul says in Romans 9:33, they probably will get offended. [Romans 9:33, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he who believes in Him will not be put to shame.] Don\u2019t worry about it. Did you do it in love? That\u2019s your question, right? God, help me to speak the truth in love to them. Help me to have Your heart for them, but help me to speak the truth. I love pounding this book, by the way. I\u2019m sorry that I\u2019m pounding this book; it\u2019s because it\u2019s the Reliance of the Traveller. I\u2019m pounding it into submission. Pray for the fear of the Lord on God\u2019s people again. We\u2019ve got to stop being afraid of man. We\u2019ve got to pray for courage. We\u2019ve got to pray for boldness.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s the last part that people don\u2019t usually like when I bring up. We need to say, \u201cLord, if it takes persecution to put a fire under your church--if that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to take--so be it. Do you know that I\u2019ve been rebuked for that? Do you know that Christians and pastors have rebuked\u2026 don\u2019t you dare pray for persecution. I said that it\u2019s not that I want persecution. It\u2019s that I\u2019m saying, \u201cLord whatever is necessary to awaken Your church.\u201d\r\n\r\nBut I tell you, there are believers from other parts of the world (like in Iran) that are praying for America and the church. And when we ask them, \u201cWhat are you praying for the American church?\u201d \u201cWell, do you want us to really tell you?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWell, we\u2019re praying for a little persecution because you guys are weak.\u201d And you go, \u201cOoooh!\u201d We needed to hear that, though. I needed to hear that. \u201cBe strong and courageous and do not be afraid nor discouraged; the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnd lastly, lastly folks, we\u2019ve got to remember Islam is a spiritual dimension. We\u2019re dealing with demonic entities with an antichrist spirit. This is Satan\u2019s last day attempt, right? This is, as Dr. Woods has brought before you yesterday and today, these Islamic countries manifesting this demonic Islamic presence that hates God, that hates Israel, that hates Christians. It is upon the earth--it is going to be in those last days. But God knows it and God is going to defeat it and God is going to bring it to its knees. And take that message back to your churches, to your communities, to this community. There\u2019s no common God, there\u2019s no common Word, there\u2019s no Chrislam! This is all nonsense! There is but one God, one Word, one faith, one Lord, one baptism, and He\u2019s the One that we stand on.\r\n\r\nAnd lastly, and I\u2019ll wrap with this, please, please, please, stand with and pray for Israel. Dr. Woods just said it. It is the hour of choosing, and I choose to say to the Lord my God, \u201cI stand with Your people Israel. I stand with Your covenantal people. I will not betray them, I will not forsake them, and I will not turn my back on them.\u201d I\u2019m not ashamed of the gospel. Please don\u2019t be ashamed of the gospel. And with that, I\u2019ll turn it over. Andy, thank you again for letting us be here. I pray the Lord will bring us back. Lord bless you guys.\r\nAddendum\r\nSummary Slides for \u201cExposing Chrislam\u201d\r\nWhat is Chrislam?\r\n*Claim that Christianity and Islam have a common word\r\nBoth the Bible and Quran are recognized as holy books with divine truth\r\n*Claim that Jehovah and Allah are the same God\r\n*Where does it really come from?\r\nSurah 3:64 \u2013 \u201cO people of the book!
