[laughter] there\u2019s these two inconspicuous boxes on your way out; that\u2019s between you and the Lord and we won\u2019t second guess your salvation or anything, depending on your choice.\r\n\r\nAnd some of you may want to give to Shahram\u2019s ministry; you can do that at his book table which he\u2019ll be at in the back after the service is over.\u00a0 Or if you want to make a check out and just put in the memo TIL and make that out to Shahram Hadian, I guess\u2026 just TIL which stands for Truth In Love.\u00a0 So those are those financial things I have to talk about, although I hate talking about it because we are so disparaged in ministry for bringing up monetary issues.\r\n\r\nAt this time I\u2019m going to turn it over to Shahram Hadian, he\u2019s going to be talking about the whole issue of Islam.\u00a0 This is not an \u201cI hate Muslims\u201d session; this is a session about the pernicious theology and ideology of Islam and you\u2019re going to hear things from him that you probably have never heard anywhere else.\u00a0 And when he\u2019s finished I\u2019m going to come back up at the very end and do the benediction and briefly present the gospel.\u00a0 So at this time let\u2019s welcome Shahram Hadian.\r\n\r\nShahram:\u00a0 Thank you pastor Andy.\u00a0 Hello, how are you guys.\u00a0 Good morning; it\u2019s a blessing to be back with you here in Sugarland and it\u2019s been a few years but it\u2019s always a blessing to come back.\u00a0 And thank you for your hospitality, for your graciousness, and as I said in the first session, in the Sunday School hour, I praise God and I hope you praise God for your leadership here because Pastor Woods, Jim and others, you guys have godly shepherds here that God has placed.\u00a0\u00a0 So praise God for that.\u00a0 Amen.\r\n\r\nThis morning Andy said that we\u2019re going till dinner I think he said and so now it\u2019s a competition because he said who\u2019s going to longer\u2026 no, this is going to be rapid fire actually this morning because what I\u2019m going to be sharing is actually part of a long presentation, which I don\u2019t have \u00a0time to give this morning but we have it on DVD, which is called The Trojan Horse of Interfaith Dialogue.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to be talking about how the gospel of Jesus Christ is being compromised.\u00a0 How we, as believers today, instead of boldly proclaiming the gospel to those who are lost and without hope of salvation, we are in this sort of hodge-podge of ecumenicalism and we\u2019re going to all believe we worship the same thing and we can all get along.\u00a0 And really, I believe that it is doing not only a disservice to those who are lost but it\u2019s doing a disservice to the church.\u00a0 We are not equipping the church for its mission, for her mission to be the bride of Christ.\r\n\r\nBefore I do that just a little bit about my background there on the screen, you can see a little bit there.\u00a0 I shared my testimony in the Sunday School hour, I won\u2019t have time to share it here really, I\u2019ll give you snippets but I\u2019ll give\u00a0 you the very, very quick version.\u00a0 Being born in Iran I was raised and born into a Muslim family.\u00a0 I witnessed Iran fall to Islam; Iran was not an Islamic country when I was born there but in 1979 became an Islamic country when the overthrow of the government happened.\u00a0\u00a0 Now was it Muslim populated?\u00a0 Of course, it was Muslim majority populated but it was not being governed by Islam.\u00a0 And so I witnessed my birth country fall to Islam.\u00a0 I witnessed freedom\u2019s lost.\u00a0 My family had to flee and leave.\u00a0 My dad\u00a0 used to be in the military under the Shah and he retired and got out because of things that he saw happening.\r\n\r\nAnd for me when I finally, in 1999 when the gospel was shared with me, I said this in the earlier session, and I don\u2019t say this in a derogatory manner, when I came to the west I had Christian friends but none of them ever shared the gospel with me; they were nice.\u00a0 They were nice, they were very hospitable and friendly but they didn\u2019t tell me the truth that could set me free, until 1999, until somebody had the courage to share the gospel with me.\r\n\r\nAnd I\u2019ll just lickety-split tell you the two very critical things that were important to me as a Muslim becoming a Christian and that is:\u00a0 number 1, the hope of salvation; if Muslims are honest they have no guarantee of salvation but martyrdom.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t want to be a martyr that means you have to try to be a good Muslim, do the best you can and hope that Allah accepts, the god of Islam accepts your works but you never know.\u00a0 You never know!\u00a0 In this life you never know, in fact, you have to die and go to hell before you can go to heaven.\u00a0 Every person, according to Islam, must go through basically hell as a station to get through that entry into Paradise.\u00a0 So growing up that put a tremendous fear of death and dying in my heart because I, as a Christian today, I don\u2019t have that fear.\u00a0 As a Muslim I did; as a Muslim I was terrified of dying because I didn\u2019t want to become a martyr, I liked life, so therefore I thought I\u2019m not a good Muslim.\u00a0 I knew I was not a good Muslim, a devout Muslim and so therefore that leads to a tremendous fear of dying.\r\n\r\nAnd I think if Muslims were honest with themselves, when I have conversations with them and if I can get them to be honest they will say yeah, we have no guarantee of salvation.\u00a0 Therefore think about that, what if they\u2019re wrong?\u00a0 And that\u2019s what\u2019s so sad about this interfaith stuff, which I\u2019ll get to.\u00a0 So number 1, for me that was a huge aspect.\u00a0 So in 1999 when the gospel was preached to me and for the first time in my life I\u2019m hearing that the God of the Bible doesn\u2019t want me to die for Him, the God of the Bible has died for me so I can live for him and have eternal life, I realized for the first time there\u2019s no way that these can be the same.\u00a0 And that\u2019s ultimately what the Lord showed me in my own testimony, is that both cannot be true, one is true, one is a lie, I have to choose.\u00a0 And in 1999 I chose Christ.\r\n\r\nThe second half of my testimony that I mentioned earlier was the fact that I had no relationship with God because again, if\u00a0 Muslims are honest they will tell you that Allah, the god of Islam, is not a personable and knowable God.\u00a0 He is distant, you don\u2019t interact with him, even when you go to heaven.\u00a0 According to them when you go to heaven you\u2019re not \u201cwith\u201d him because he doesn\u2019t interact with his creation.\u00a0 I thought what is the point of going to heaven and being with god if you can\u2019t be with God.\u00a0 Does that make sense.\u00a0\u00a0 Come to find out that\u2019s not the true God. Amen.\u00a0 The true God is our Father, the true God desires to have a relationship with us.\u00a0 The true God wants to spend an eternity with us.\u00a0 Again, they can\u2019t both be the same.\r\n\r\nSo these were factors for me and many other factors; I have a DVD on the back table that I\u2019ll be talking about several times today as well, called Chrislam exposed.\u00a0 And as I mentioned earlier on a special feature I recorded my testimony and the testimony of two other former Muslims from Iran, very powerful testimony to share with you the power of the gospel.\u00a0 As I mentioned earlier, a very important fact to understand right now as we speak in Iran, after 40 years of Islamic rule and some of the worst persecution of Christians in the world, Iran is, by according to many statistics the fastest growing church in the world.\u00a0 There is a revival happening in Iran as we speak.\u00a0 And that\u2019s why even a month ago when you saw the protests in Iran you saw the young people were on the street and they were saying down with Khamenei,, down with Islam.\u00a0 They\u2019re tired of the yoke of Islam and they want freedom.\u00a0 But many are choosing Christ.\u00a0 I just had my cousin email me, Facebook me, about a couple of months ago and she was asking questions about Christianity and I just came to find out that she became a Christian, in Iran!\u00a0 [clapping]\u00a0 So praise God.\r\n\r\nSo God is working if we don\u2019t get in His way.\u00a0 So let us not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Amen!\u00a0 Again, I\u2019ll interweave a little bit of my testimony, we\u2019ve got to move on for the sake of time.\u00a0 Before I get into just the presentation let\u2019s cover our source material because we want to make sure that we\u2019re very accurate as we describe things this morning.\u00a0 Obviously I\u2019m going to be quoting out of the Bible and I know that in this church what I was about to say is not an issue but I have to day it: there are three primary things that the Bible asserts about itself:\u00a0 One, that is the inerrant Word of God.\u00a0 Two, that the entire Bible must be taken as the counsel of God.\u00a0 And three, it was inspired and given to multiple witnesses over approximately a 1500-1600 year time frame, forty witnesses over that time frame.\r\n\r\nThis is important to understand because sadly today according to a, I think it was a Pulitzer Poll last year, 47% of professing Christians in America no longer believe the Bible is inerrant Word of God, parts are, parts aren\u2019t.\u00a0 My question is which parts do you pick and choose?\u00a0 So we\u2019re at the point now in the church that for me to say I believe in Christian or I\u2019m a Christian or the Bible, you know of have to ask a bunch of clarifying questions now.\u00a0 But the same is true, by the way, for Islam and for Muslims because just because someone says I\u2019m a Muslim\u2026 if my dad, who\u2019s say a Muslim, but he\u2019s not a practicing Muslim, does that make sense, he doesn\u2019t pray five times a day, he didn\u2019t go to the Mosque, he ate pork, he drank alcohol, he was an equal opportunity sinner.\u00a0 [Laughter]\r\n\r\nAnd so therefore we have to be able to clarify.\r\n\r\nNow the biggest statement we make in dealing with Islam from a textual standpoint, and I see this all the time, is we\u2019ll say well, the Bible is the only source of authority for us Christians.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Amen!\u00a0 There is no other source of authority.\u00a0 That is not the case for Islam.\u00a0\u00a0 Islam actually has three sources of authority.\u00a0 Most people think well, isn\u2019t only the Qur'an, Muslims only follow the Qur'an because they believe the Qur'an is the revelation of their god, Allah; the word Qur'an in the Arabic means to recite, so supposedly the angel Gabriel showed up (I\u2019ll be covering this in the conference, our first session tomorrow is going to be on apologetics, the Bible versus the Qur'an, and we talk about the fact that Mohammed believed he was visited by a [can't understand word] spirit.\u00a0 He actually thought he was demon possessed.\u00a0 Later he\u2019s convinced that it was the angel Gabriel.\r\n\r\nNow here\u2019s my hunch\u2014I think he was right in the beginning, that he was visited by a demon but the claim is that it was the angel Gabriel.\u00a0 Remember the same angel Gabriel that showed up to Mary 600 years earlier shows up to Mohammed 600 years, approximately 600 years later, because he was born at 570, he claims he got his first revelation in 601 A.D. in a cave in Hira.\u00a0 And this revelation repeats the Bible.\u00a0 Well, come on, it can\u2019t be the same angel.\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re going to talk about that.\r\n\r\nSo the Qur'an is a primary source but it\u2019s not the only source, because there are so many contradictions in the Qur'an because they\u2019re abrogation\u2019s.\u00a0 They\u2019re the early verses, the latter verses of Medina, so because there\u2019s so many contradictions we have to go to a secondary source which is called the Sunnah.\u00a0 By the way, you see a website on the screen for Qur'an, if you do happen to want to study the Qur'an for apologetics purposes, not for believing it, then go to Qur'an.com, it\u2019s an online source you can use, because it is a source that Muslims use to authenticate because they have about five translations of the Qur'an from Arabic to English so that you don\u2019t get this argument, oh, you don\u2019t speak Arabic, you don\u2019t know what it says, you\u2019re misrepresenting it.\u00a0 This is a source that Muslims must use because the majority of the world\u2019s Muslim population are not Arabs and don\u2019t speak Arabic but their god expects them to pray in Arabic.\u00a0 Keep that in the back of your mind.\r\n\r\nThat was one thing that weighed on me when I was a Muslim.\u00a0 If this is God why does He only understand one language?\u00a0 I\u2019m not kidding, I\u2019m born in Iran, I speak Farsi, I don\u2019t speak Arabic, I\u2019m not an Arab. We are not descendants of Ishmael.\u00a0 Trace the lineage back to Elam, right?\u00a0 Persia, Elam before that.\u00a0 I\u2019m not an Arab, I don\u2019t speak Arabic.\u00a0 Why can\u2019t God understand me?\u00a0 Allah!\u00a0 This is a common challenge for many Muslims in other countries who don\u2019t speak Arabic.\u00a0 So think about that.\r\n\r\nNow, that site is there, I also have a friend of mine who saw [can't understand several words]\u00a0 who wrote a Qur'an, he translated this, he didn\u2019t write it, he translated this from Arabic to English, I trust his translation.\u00a0 I don\u2019t carry these but these are available on his website, I think it\u2019s\u00a0 The Straight Way.org.\u00a0 And so if you want a physical copy please don\u2019t go to Barnes and Noble, or Amazon and buy one, you will be buying a whitewashed version.\u00a0 You want to buy one get an accurate one if you want to study it for apologetic purposes.\r\n\r\nNumber 2, here\u2019s the Sunnah.\u00a0 The Sunnah basically means the practice of Mohammed.\u00a0 There are two primary sources the Hadith and the Sera.\u00a0 The Hadith means the traditions of Mohammed, the Sera is the biography of Mohammed.\u00a0 \u00a0Now, look at the numbers on the screen, 60% of all the Islamic text is the Hadith; 26% of all those the Islamic text is the Sera.\u00a0 Do the math, 86%, what does that mean?\u00a0 86% of all Islamic text is about Mohammed.\u00a0 Only 14% of Islamic text is about their god.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t that seem weird?\u00a0 Why is it all about Mohammed and not about Allah?\u00a0 Because Mohammed is the only one who got revelation, there\u2019s no other eyewitness, and he\u2019s the only one who got revelation of the abrogation.\u00a0\u00a0 1312 to 13 years he spends in Mecca, goes to Novena and claims the verse is changed.\u00a0 Wasn\u2019t that convenient that there\u2019s nobody else to substantiate these claims, yet the Bible uses forty witnesses to give revelation.\u00a0 God uses forty witnesses to bring revelation; the Qur'an uses one, and 1.7 billion people claim that it is a divine book.\r\n\r\nNumber 3 source, Sharia, you\u2019ve heard of Sharia.\u00a0 Now Sharia is a hot topic today because Muslim apologists will say oh, Sharia is so misunderstood, you guys are blowing it out of proportion, it\u2019s the big boogey man.\u00a0 The word Sharia very simply means a sacred path, it\u2019s a sacred law or sacred path of their god.\u00a0 And there are presentations that I have that talk about the aspect of Sharia law, what it is.\u00a0 I have a new presentation that we did since last time I was here called Islam\u2019s Assault On The U. S. Constitution, A Legal Look at Why Islamic Law Is Antithetical To Our Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights.\u00a0 And I go to twelve different areas and look at a legal case.\u00a0 I look at what\u2019s going on in Europe.\u00a0 But the concept that we have to understand is that Sharia is basically the overarching aspect of everything that Allah teaches.\u00a0 And within Sharia there\u2019s no separation, meaning there\u2019s no separation of government verse the mosque; it\u2019s all one.\r\n\r\nSo there\u2019s a booklet that I use called The Reliance of the Traveler<\/em>.\u00a0 This a classic manual of Islamic sacred law.\u00a0 It is THE go to authority on Sharia law.\u00a0 And so this booklet has been authenticated, it is a compilation of about a thousand years of case law, rulings from different Islamic scholars, including the top Islamic schools in the world, Al<\/em>-<\/strong>Azhar<\/em> \u00a0University in Cairo, Egypt, The Islamic Institute of Thought, [can't understand word].\u00a0 Now it is a Sunni Muslim source, meaning that it is representing about 83% of the Muslim population of the world.\u00a0 83%, approximately of Muslims in the world are Sunni Muslims.\u00a0 Sunni, the word Sunni comes from Sunnah, about 13-14% are\u00a0 Shia, that\u2019s where I came from, Iran, and there\u2019s a couple of cults, one\u2019s called Sufism .\u00a0 There are Muslims in America that claim to be the peaceful Muslims; they are referred to as the [ach may de uh] Muslims but within mainstream Islam they are a cult because they deny abrogation, they deny aspects of the return of the prophet, the [can't understand word].\r\n\r\nI\u2019m going to be citing from the Reliance Traveler today because when we cite from The Reliance of the Traveler it\u2019s not my opinion or your opinion, it is the Islamic case law.\u00a0\u00a0 So by the time we cite all three sources there is no argument.\u00a0 If anybody wants to refute they only get refuted based on an emotional argument.\u00a0 Even when I bring this to Islamic apologists they want to Americans and say Islamic is peaceful, and tolerant and all this stuff, and misrepresent what really Islam is AND the fact that Islam is to be dominant, supreme.\u00a0 By the time we get through all this there\u2019s no arguing based on fact; it\u2019s now an emotional argument.\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019re a hater, you\u2019re a bigot, you\u2019re a Islamaphobe.\u00a0 This year, by the way, I got a new title, I was called a white supremacist.\u00a0 So I thought that one was an interesting one.\r\n\r\nOkay, interfaith dialogue\u2014what is interfaith dialogue. We\u2019re going to dig into this but I want to bring two verses of warning from the Bible before we get into this that I believe are very, very relevant today.\u00a0 2 Peter 2:1-3, \u201cBut false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly\u201d notice the word \u201csecretly\u201d because if it wasn\u2019t secret it would be obvious, that\u2019s why we need to expose it.\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 If it wasn\u2019t secret you wouldn\u2019t need to expose it.\u00a0 Does that make sense?\u00a0 \u201c\u2026secretly introduce destructive heresies,\u201d and some of these heresies it goes on to say will \u201ceven denying the Master who bought them,\u201d some of these heresies are going to be at the level where they\u2019re going to actually, when you see it on its face (if you have eyes to see) they\u2019re actually denying Christ.\u00a0 And I\u2019m putting before you today that I\u2019m going to present to you what is that such a heresy.\r\n\r\nIt goes on to say \u201cbringing swift destruction upon themselves. [2] Many will follow their sensuality,\u201d what does that mean?\u00a0 The flesh, without following the Spirit we\u2019re following the flesh, there in crux is the social gospel today.\u00a0 Churches that are integrated with a social gospel, every\u00adthing is about emotions and feelings, we don\u2019t want to offend anybody, we don\u2019t want to hurt anybody, we don\u2019t want to be controversial, we don\u2019t want to rock the boat.\u00a0 Meanwhile the world is closing in on us and the target is us Christians and we\u2019re not recognizing that and we don\u2019t want to offend.\u00a0 We forgot the gospel is a rock of offense.\r\n\r\nSo they\u2019ll follow the sensuality, and because of them, because of THEM the way of the truth will be maligned.\u00a0 Here\u2019s my question to you as believers today in 2018, in these last days.\u00a0 Are you ready to be maligned for standing for the truth?\u00a0 If you\u2019re not my encouragement is, my exhortation is go before the Lord, lay it all down and ask the Lord to help you count the costs because these are the days that are before us.\u00a0 We must be ready to stand for the truth no matter what!\u00a0 And as such be maligned\u2026 and as such you will be maligned by other Christians.\u00a0 In fact, my greatest opposition right now is coming from the so-called Christian community.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to be speaking in Minnesota for the fourth time in eight months and the ELCA which is the liberal wing of the Lutheran church is planning a protest with the Muslim Brotherhood there \u00a0against me.\u00a0 This is what we begin to see and you know what?\u00a0 So be it!\u00a0 So bet it!!! As long as there\u2019s an open door, as long as there\u2019s an open door my God is bigger than anything they can bring.\u00a0 [clapping and a couple of Amen\u2019s]\r\n\r\n1 Timothy 4:1-2, \u201cBut the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, [2] by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron [and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;]\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Folks, I believe that we are in the last days, we are waiting upon the return of the Lord any hour, and we are seeing the forces come together and I strongly believe and I think you guys have now got a chance (can I plug this for a second Dr. Woods) you guys have now got a chance to get Dr. Woods book, The Middle East Meltdown<\/em>.\u00a0 It\u2019s very, very good, I just started reading it and so far it\u2019s been amazing.\u00a0 But Islam is going to play a role\u2026 a role, we can debate about how much of a role but it is playing a role in these last days in preparation for the coming of the antichrist.\r\n\r\nNow, I want to get into some nitty-gritty now as we\u2019ve laid the foundation.\u00a0 What is this interfaith movement?\u00a0 What is interfaith, what isn\u2019t interfaith?\u00a0 Here\u2019s what\u2019s not interfaith.\u00a0 Interfaith is not, I\u2019m going to go talk to a Muslim that doesn\u2019t know Christ; that\u2019s not interfaith, that\u2019s just sharing the gospel.\u00a0 Interfaith is not I\u2019m going to invite a Muslim to church so that they can hear Pastor Woods preach the gospel.\u00a0 That\u2019s not interfaith.\u00a0 Right\u2026 that\u2019s NOT interfaith!\u00a0 That\u2019s us seeking the Lord and how to be able to reach those who are lost.\u00a0 You\u2019re going to see very clearly interfaith is entering into a spiritual enterprise.\u00a0 It is entering into a spiritual agreement\u2026 SPIRITUAL agreement that is heretical.\u00a0\u00a0 And I\u2019m going to lay out for you what it is.\r\n\r\nThere are four false claims of the interfaith ecumenical movement; in the presentation today we\u2019ll hit some of them, the DVD (as I said) covers more of it, if you\u2019re able to get a copy of that we encourage\u2026 by the way, we\u2019ll be making those also available from our website from [can't understand word], which as an online way you can download them for a lesser cost I think and we\u2019re going to be introducing that here in a minute.\r\n\r\nSo number 1 claim of the interfaith movement, and this is really the foundation, is the fact that Christianity and Islam have a common word.\u00a0 The idea is that both the Bible and the Qur'an are both divine sources.\u00a0 Now what if I were to tell you this morning that both can\u2019t be divine?\u00a0 If I was to prove to you that the two sources refute each other would you agree they both can\u2019t be divine?\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 But that\u2019s the claim.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s go to number two, claim that Jehovah and Allah are the same God.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 By the way, in the Chrislam DVD, this blue one, we blow that one out of the water because we show you who Allah was before Islam came into existence.\u00a0 We show you who Allah was, how Allah was being worshipped in Mecca as a pagan god\u2014very important to understand.\r\n\r\nNumber three, this their newer ones now; they claim that Islam is an Abrahamic faith along with Judaism and Christianity.\u00a0 And number four, the brand new one that is now catching wind is Muslims believe Jesus is the Messiah. \u00a0So therefore you see they can\u00a0 find Jesus from their way.\u00a0 Dear God help us!!!!\u00a0 This is why I covered, remember in the earlier session, those of you who were here, this is the concept almost of going down the road of the Messianic Muslim, where they don\u2019t even need to become a Christian any more.\r\n\r\nSo go back to the common word now, this is really the crux of it, where does the concept of this common word strategy come from?\u00a0 Would you be surprised that it actually comes from the Qur'an?\u00a0 The Qur'an is strategy for Muslims.\u00a0 Hey Muslim, we want you to go to Christians and share with them that we have a common word.\u00a0 You go there you go Pastor Hadian, we\u2019re good to go, we have a common word, let\u2019s just go home.\u00a0 Well hold on, let\u2019s read the whole verse because here\u2019s what it says: \u201cOh people of the Book\u201d by the way, whenever the Qur'an is \u201cOh people of the Book\u201d that means Jews and Christians, those are the \u201cpeople of the Book.\u201d\u00a0 Oh people of the Scriptures because Muslims are taught that according to Mohammed, according to the one who got the revelation that Allah gave revelation to the Jews, the Jews corrupted it, those pesky Jews!\u00a0 Abraham was a Muslim, Noah was a Muslim, David was\u00a0 Muslim, the prophets were all Muslims.\r\n\r\nThen Allah brings revelation through Jesus, the prophet, to the Christian but those pesky Christians they corrupt it too darn it!\u00a0 We messed it up by putting things in there like Jesus was God, the Son of God was crucified and resurrected.\u00a0\u00a0 You know, we messed it up with those pesky details.\u00a0 Of course you guys know I\u2019m being facetious, right?\u00a0 I just want to make sure no one takes me seriously as I\u2019m seeing people look at me like where is he going with this.\u00a0 So now Allah has to send a final messenger 600 years later in Mohammed to come and correct everybody.\u00a0 So hey Muslims, go to the Christians and tell them we have a common word.\u00a0 If we have a common word then they should both be matching up, shouldn\u2019t they?\r\n\r\nWell let\u2019s read the rest of the verse, \u201cthat we worship none but Allah and that we associate no partners with them and that none of will take others Lord besides Allah.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 [Verse (3:64 \u2013 The Quranic Arabic Corpus \u2013 Translation.\u00a0 corpus.quran.com\/translation.jsp?chapter=3&verse=64] <\/em>\r\n\r\nHold on, what are they saying?\u00a0 Who wants to take a guess?\u00a0\u00a0 What are they refuting?\u00a0 The Father\/Son, the Trinity!\u00a0 Remember, Mohammed claims Allah told him to destroy polytheism, create a monotheistic system in Islam and the worst polytheists are those Christians because they believe in three gods so we\u2019ve got to go and correct that.\u00a0 But wait a second, if you\u2019re going to them with the strategy of common word how come\u00a0 you\u2019re seeking correction?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t common word meaning we have so much in common, let\u2019s get along?\u00a0 And are the Muslims in interfaith dialogue telling the Christians, by the way, we\u2019re here to correct you?\r\n\r\nSo who\u2019s being duked?\u00a0 Let\u2019s be honest, we are the fools.\u00a0 So what happens is using this strategy they\u2019re reaching out because they believe as Christians we have taken Jesus as Lord, we don\u2019t want to say He\u2019s our Lord and Savior, and that we associate a partner meaning God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.\u00a0 How can both sources be divine if one source is\u2026 by the way, is the Trinity kind of an important part of our faith?\u00a0 So how can both sources be divine if one source is denying the other source.\r\n\r\nSo here\u2019s my supposition; both sources can\u2019t be divine.\u00a0 If one source is refuting the key tenants of the other source, and I would argue back and forth, that goes both ways, then they both can\u2019t be divine.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 How many of you believe the Bible is from heaven?\u00a0 Hold on, let me try that again.\u00a0 How many of you believe the Bible is from heaven, amen, right?\u00a0 The Bible is the divine authoritative Word of God given through the Holy Spirit by revelation, right, from heaven.\u00a0 In fact.\u00a0 Jesus\u2026 when Christians tell me that they can pick and choose, you know, those red letter Christians, they pick and choose, they go you know, Jesus is the Word, we\u2019re supposed to love the Word, all of the Word.\u00a0 You only like part of Jesus?\u00a0 Sometimes my wife says you know, honey, I like this part of\u00a0 you.\u00a0 Does that mean you don\u2019t like this other part of me?\u00a0 [laughter]\u00a0 I\u2019m not quite sure how to take that.\r\n\r\nWe love Jesus, we love Him as the Word.\u00a0 So both sources can\u2019t be divine.\u00a0 So here\u2019s my first sixty-four million dollar question of the day: if we believe that the Bible is from heaven and is [can't understand word] Word of God, and the Bible refutes Islam and Islam refutes Christianity, that means that the Quran must be from\u2026 come on\u2026 from hell, from Satan.\u00a0 So Surah 364 is actually satanic strategy to refute Christianity and Judaism. \u00a0It\u2019s satanic strategy given to Islam, given to Muslims\u2026 now does every Muslim know this?\u00a0 Of course not!\u00a0 But it\u2019s given as a strategy in the Quran as an in door, as a way into the Christian community, hey, come, let\u2019s sit down and have a baklava and have a common word dialogue; by the way, you Christians, a couple of minor things we\u2019ve got to correct you on.\r\n\r\nAnd then when we\u2019re done correcting you you have no faith left.\u00a0\u00a0 And this is backed up in The Reliance of the Traveler<\/em>, Section W-4 speaks to this issue of the finality of Islam, the finality of the prophet\u2019s message.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what it says: \u201cPreviously revealed religions are valid in their own era as is attested to by many verses of the Holy Qur'an but were abrogated by the universal message of Islam.\u201d\u00a0 What does abrogated mean?\u00a0 It is now changed, it\u2019s done away with.\u00a0 That means the latter message supersedes the earlier message.\u00a0 Remember, as I said, Allah gave revelation to the Jews, they screw it up, supposedly the revelation to Christians, we screw it up, He\u2019s got to send a final messenger to get it all correct, as is attested by many verses of the Qur'an.\r\n\r\nNow here\u2019s what it says: \u201cIf you hold a belief\u201d here\u2019s the belief, \u201cthat\u201d well, let me read it as it says, \u201cIt is unbelief,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cIt is unbelief,\u201d the word there is [sounds like koo-fra] is a term for the infidel, you know we hear the word infidel, the word \u201cinfidel\u201d is not in the Qur\u2019an by the way, it\u2019s [same word] which means filth, that\u2019s what the direct Arabic translation of that word is for the unbeliever in Islam, \u201cfilth.\u201d\u00a0 So it is [same word] to hold that the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions, such as Christianity or Judaism, are acceptable to Allah. So if you say, as a Muslim (or as a non-Muslim) that Christianity and Judaism are equal to Islam you are [same word] you\u2019re filth.\r\n\r\nIt is unacceptable.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because Islam is the final message.\u00a0 So what happened to common word, what happened to common ground?\u00a0 Or could it be that we are the ones who are being duked to open the doors of our churches and let wolves in among the sheep.\u00a0 Remember Acts 20, it speaks of they will come from within in the last days to deceive.\u00a0 So there\u2019s no doubt that the totality of Islam is consistent in the Qur\u2019an, it is consistent in the Sunna and the Sharia Law backs it up.\u00a0 Islam\u2019s claim is it is the final message, everything else has been abrogated and Judaism and Christianity are cults.\r\n\r\nIs that message being propagated when they have these beautiful interfaith events?\u00a0 No!\u00a0 So when the ELCA church [Evangelical Lutheran Church in America] is boycotting me with the Muslims, telling me that Muslims are our brothers and sisters, here\u2019s the question I have to ask: Are those churches any more?\u00a0 Is that a fair question.\u00a0 Are those churches?\u00a0 Are they pastors?\u00a0 The fruit stinks!\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 Test the Spirit, judge the fruit, it stinks, so let\u2019s move on.\r\n\r\nNow watch this: this common word strategy led to a document written by Muslims, 103 Islamic Scholars write this document, called A Common Word Between Us and You<\/em>.\u00a0 I wonder where they got that title from; it\u2019s called A Common Word Between Us and\u00a0 You<\/em>.\u00a0 It\u2019s exactly from the Qur'an, Sera 364.\u00a0 Again, in the Chrislam I talk about the common word \u201cmore\u201d in detail as far as the Christian side of it.\u00a0 The Muslim start this process, they write it to the Christians saying we have a common love of God, a common love on neighbors, we have a common knowledge of God and by the way,\u00a0 you want to reconcile our differences, a couple of minor things you owe us an apology for the war on terror and the crusades, other than that we\u2019re good to go, we can live in peace, and respond.\r\n\r\nIn 2008 at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture the common word document, which is called \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A Christians Response to a Common Word Between Us and You<\/em>, some call it the Yale Document, Tony Blair wrote the Forward, a known globalist, one-world religion promoter, [can't understand word] and they respond back and they say yes, we agree, we can reconcile, we have a common love of God, common love of neighbor, we have a common Word, and oh by the way, we ask the all Merciful One for forgiveness, not a term you\u2019ll find anywhere in the Bible, that describes God from the Bible but it is in the Qur'an.\u00a0 At the time over 500 Christian leaders sign it, [can't understand words] this is just kind of an overview because again it\u2019s in the Chrislam DVD but pastors like Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Robert Sculler, John Stott, Leif Anderson who\u2019s the President of the NAE, National Association of Evangelicals, that group is also the number one proponent of open refugee resettlement, bring them all in, open migration, open borders, world relief is a part of NAE.\u00a0 The4 Fuller Theological Seminary leader signed it and pretty well every emergent church leader, including even the likes of Jim Wallace and others signed this document attesting that we have a common word.\r\n\r\nNow, here\u2019s what the Lord led me to do, because I\u2019ve talked about the Christian signatories; recently the Lord put on my heart go look at the first document; who signed the initial Muslim document?\u00a0 So I went back and looked at the 2006\/07 letter and as I began to study the signatories, the 138 signatories, a common theme kept coming up.\u00a0 Not only is this a satanic strategy over a third, at least, of the signatories were members of the Muslim Brotherhood.\r\n\r\nI thought that can\u2019t be a coincidence!\u00a0 Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf [can't understand words] remember the ground zero mosque?\u00a0 He wanted to build a ground zero mosque, remember the Muslim Brotherhood, he signed this document.\u00a0 [Sounds like: Yahadda \u00a0what, who\u2019s Yahadda what?]\u00a0 The head of CAIR, The Council on American Islamic Relations, by the way, there\u2019s a little booklet that I have back there, you got to get this and get it to elected officials, law enforcement, it\u2019s called The Explanatory Memorandum<\/em>, it is the blueprint of the Muslim Brotherhood for their strategy according to their words to sabotage, let me read this very quickly here, here\u2019s their mission statement, very innocuous, I\u2019m being facetious.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Protestant Settlement\u201d this is in America, \u201cis a civilization Jihadist process with all the word means.\u00a0 The [can't understand word] of the Muslim Brotherhood must understands that their work in America kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and\u201d quote, \u201csabotaging its miserable house,\u201d that\u2019s America they\u2019re talking about, \u201cby their hands,\u201d who\u2019s that? \u00a0Us!\u00a0 \u201cand the hands of the believers\u201d Muslims, \u201cso that it is eliminated and Allah\u2019s religion is made victorious over all other religions.\u201d\r\n\r\nBut that doesn\u2019t sound supremacist at all, right?\u00a0 Last year when Brandon and I were in Sioux Falls, when we had that Muslim man threaten our conference with 1200 rounds of ammo and five weapons, we found out that the local mosque that was protesting us was owned by the North American Islamic Trust which is a Muslim Brotherhood entity.\u00a0 By the way, this document was discovered by the FBI [can't understand words] evidence the largest terror [can't understand word] American history and then [can't understand word] by the Obama administration.\u00a0 By the way, under.. under FBI director Robert Mueller.\u00a0 When Holder came in the justice department to shut down this trial, buried the evidence and purged this document from national counter terrorism [can't understand word].\r\n\r\nI do law enforcement [can't understand word] for counter terrorism for folks, I just did one in Idaho a few months back for a Secret Service DOD FBI Homeland [can't understand word] never heard of this document.\u00a0 This is the blueprint of\u00a0 the Muslim Brotherhood.\u00a0 The largest Islamic Supremacy organization; the whole reason it was revived in 19?8 by Hassam Obama after the fall of the Ottoman Empire was to revive the Islamic caliphate.\u00a0 It\u2019s a revivalist movement.\u00a0 We had this, we had the blueprint, we had the play book, AND it goes further, it gives you the front groups. We discovered who all those front groups were; they were about to be until Obama came into office.\u00a0 So CARE is one of the front groups; [can't understand words] those signs we are talking about, I\u2019ll show you in a minute, these are all direct front groups, North American Islamic Trust owns the deeds to over 70% of the mosques in America.\u00a0 Why would [can't understand words] sign the document when their mission statement said they want to eliminate sabotage our miserable house eliminated and establish Allah\u2019s religion, meaning Islam as the final religion, unless it\u2019s strategy.\u00a0 \u00a0Sheikh Selim Falad, director general of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Ingrid Mattson, former President of ISNA; ISNA is a direct front group on the list here on page 32, the very first group, ISNA, Islamic Society of North America, the M. S.[small blank spot in tape] business association, it gives you their front group.\u00a0 Why would they sign it?\r\n\r\nProfessor E. Sun [sounds like: Nuglu], Secretary General of the O.I.C.\u00a0 \u00a0What\u2019s the O.I.C.? The\u00a0 largest voting bloc in the U.N.\u00a0 The most anti-Semitic body in the U.N.\u00a0 Where do you think the term Islamophobia came from?\u00a0\u00a0 56 member nations throw in towels trying to get 57 and I always have to say this just for fun\u2026 just for fun, come on, give me a little bit of fun.\u00a0 In 2008 when Obama was running for office, remember he had that little slipup, 57 states, remember that?\u00a0 We have 57 states\u2026 no we don\u2019t, we have 50 states. \u00a0Where did he get that number 57 from?\u00a0 [someone in audience says something, can\u2019t hear] Just food for thought, why would they sign it?\u00a0 Why would the most anti-Semitic body in the world sign a document to Christians and Jews saying we have a common word with you?\u00a0 \u00a0[says several words I can\u2019t understand]\u00a0 Secretary General King\u00a0 Faisal for the Saudi government, why would the Saudi government sign a document?\u00a0 The Saudi government that does not allow one Christian church, one Jewish synagogue to be in existence, why would they sign a document saying we have a common word?\r\n\r\nSheikh [can\u2019t understand words] who is Sheikh [same words]?\u00a0 The guy that put this book together.\u00a0 Why would the guy that put this book together that in section W that I just read to you said Islam is the final religion, Judaism and Christianity are cults and have been abrogated, why would he sign a document saying we have a common word.\u00a0 And why, WHY did the likes of Rick Warren and others not have discernment for [can\u2019t understand words]?\r\n\r\nI\u2019ll walk around for a second and get my blood pressure down\u2026 okay!\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 Sheik Ahamad Mohammed El Kayem, who is he?\u00a0 Alazar University, former Grand[can\u2019t understand word] of Jerusalem, Alazar University certified this book as orthodox Islamic teaching.\u00a0 Why would they sign it.\u00a0 And by the way, numerous representatives Surea based governments, like Iran and Pakistan, Saudi, Yemen, all countries by the way, according to Open Doors USA, that are the worst persecutors of Christians in the world today, 215,000,000 Christians are under Islamic persecution as we speak.\u00a0 And in America the [can\u2019t understand word] from the left, there were just a few\u00a0 [can\u2019t understand word] that just came out, just last week that Democrats, women, and\u00a0 young people are now majority believing the narrative that Muslims are more mistreated in America than Christians are mistreated around the world, because that\u2019s a narrative of care, that\u2019s the narrative of the Brotherhood, make themselves victims, play the victim card.\r\n\r\nAnd yet we have, according to [can\u2019t understand word] global studied on Christianity, 90,000 Christians being martyred per year for their faith in the last twelve years, average per year around the world.\r\n\r\nOkay, all of that led to interfaith Sunday.\u00a0 We saw a launch of interfaith Sundays in 2011, and many churches decided to open their doors and have these interface events using the common word concept.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to teach on Mohammed, we\u2019re going to put Korans in the pews next to Bibles.\u00a0 Of course one of the things we didn\u2019t see, interestingly enough, was we didn\u2019t see any mosques do the same thing.\u00a0 So if it\u2019s supposed to be a reciprocal \u201clet\u2019s have common word\u201d so hey, you churches, open the door, invite a Muslim scholar to come and teach in the pulpit, which is what happened here in Tacoma, Washington, when this pastor, Dean Curry, allowed the Ayatollah\u2026 Ayatollah for Iran, Imam Hussabi, to come into a church, three services, satellite campuses, six and a half thousand people watching, and talks about Jesus, how Islam esteems Jesus.\u00a0 And look at some of the hashtags:\u00a0 Amazing to hear Imam Hussabi speak today about Jesus.\u00a0 What does that say?\u00a0 Hashtag Common Ground.\u00a0 Oh really?\u00a0 By the way 9:45, you guys remember I played that video, the Common Path video, I found out from people who went to this church that Pastor Curry has been promoting that Common Path.\u00a0 He showed that video to his staff.\u00a0 This is an emergent church.\r\n\r\nWhat an amazing day for Jesus hashtag unity.\u00a0 Is it an amazing day for Jesus?\u00a0 Is it an amazing day for Jesus for His bride to be deceived, for His sheep to be deceived.\u00a0 And so you see, here is the conundrum; we couldn\u2019t identify one mosque that opened their doors and put Bibles next to the Quran, allowed a Christian pastor to come I.\u00a0 I\u2019ve said this time and time again, I don\u2019t mean it as a joke, I\u2019ll take the invitation, I\u2019ll go into the mosque and preach the gospel.\u00a0 I may not come back out but I\u2019ll go.\u00a0 But they won\u2019t open the door! We\u2019re the ones that are opening the door, we\u2019re the ones that are being bamboozled.\u00a0 Okay.\r\n\r\nIt gets worse; now we start seeing these interface events.\u00a0 So what\u2019s on the screen here is something that happened in Washington State, Mount Vernon, Washington, Salem Lutheran Church, what did they do? Well, they\u2019re going to have a\u2026 see the title here?\u00a0 In a love and a time of fear, it\u2019s always about fear, right, it\u2019s always about the same thing.\u00a0 We\u2019re love, you\u2019re fear mongering.\u00a0 We\u2019re loving, you\u2019re a bigot, you know, that kind of thing.\u00a0 Okay, recognizing our Muslims as neighbors, now watch this, part of the statement, this church\u2026 the reason I now this is because the gal that was part of that church that sent me this and then came out of that church, thank God.\u00a0 Praise God there were some in this church that were awake and realized this is deception, our church has gone off the deep end.\r\n\r\nWatch this: okay, it depends on what their goals are; we\u2019re going to resist in ourselves and society exclusionist ideology that contributes to the divinization of and violence towards others.\u00a0 I thought wait a second, isn\u2019t the gospel an exclusionary ideology?\u00a0 Yes or no?\u00a0 We believe that Jesus Christ is the only path of salvation!\u00a0 If you don\u2019t believe that it\u2019s fine, just don\u2019t call yourself a Christian.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a problem, we\u2019re in America, you have the right of freedom of your conscience and speech; don\u2019t believe it, that\u2019s fine, just don\u2019t sully the name of Jesus Christ by saying I\u2019m a grace follower and then denying that He\u2019s the only\u00a0 way.\u00a0\u00a0 So we\u2019re going to resist exclusionary ideologies?\u00a0 So they invite an Islamic, someone that\u2019s not a scholar to come and take about Islam.\u00a0 And they invite this [can\u2019t understand words] look at this, she\u2019s a married mother of two wonderful daughters, a proud American Muslim, a U.S. citizen, a registered voter, and a firm believer in the promise of America, inspired by Islamic teachings of serving God by serving humanity.\u00a0 She has been an active volunteer for Care Washington.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 They\u2019re openly bringing Care into the church?\u00a0 They\u2019re openly bringing the Muslim Brotherhood into a church????\u00a0 Yup! They\u2019re not even hiding it any more.\u00a0 Ten years ago, eight years ago CARE would hide.\u00a0 They would never say they were CARE, they\u2019re now openly saying it.\u00a0 And look at this slide, they want these Christians to learn about the Islamophobia network, a report called Fear Inc. at Islamophobia, by the way, remember I said earlier our ministry is on that report.\u00a0 We\u2019re one of 41 ministries that on CARE\u2019s list of Islamophobia Network.\r\n\r\nOh, by the way, also join against Islamophobia, check out the southern poverty law center\u2019s guide to anti-Muslim extremism.\u00a0 So let\u2019s join forces with the SPLC.\u00a0 We\u2019re on that list as well.\u00a0 We\u2019re on both those lists; we got added to that list in the past\u00a0 year, the hate [can\u2019t understand word] list that CNN published.\r\n\r\nSo you have a Lutheran Church, ELCA, by the way, when this event was going on the Lord, this is how amazing God is, at the same time, within a day I was in Arlington Washington, which is just about half an hour away from this church, at a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church that is solid in the Word of God, giving this presentation to combat this nonsense.\u00a0 That\u2019s how God works, because some are awake.\u00a0 There is a remnant.\u00a0 But do you understand the ramifications?\u00a0 It\u2019s not just a spiritual ramification.\u00a0 The Muslim Brotherhood, which has a strategy to destroy America, is using liberal, lukewarm, uneducated, compromised Christians to turn and report us.\u00a0 Do you\u00a0 understand what they\u2019re doing?\u00a0 They\u2019re training them as to how to identify and report Islama\u00adphobes.\u00a0 This is 1930 Germany all over again, the difference is this time you and I as Christians are the number one target.\u00a0 And they\u2019re using the church, the Christian, to turn on Christian.\r\n\r\nSo again, no discernment?\u00a0 Now you think, Shahram, that\u2019s an isolated case, one church\u2026 one church!\u00a0 Nope, it went over so well they decided to do what\u2019s called a road show, safe over fear, standing with our Muslim neighbors road show, from October to November of last year up and down Washington State, Longview, Washington, Tacoma, Washington, Seattle, Everett, Lynwood, Olympia, if you don\u2019t know Washington that\u2019s from the southern border all the way up to the Canadian border, all the way up to Bellingham, Mount Vernon, at Lutheran Churches, Episcopal this, Edmonds Lutheran, Trinity Lutheran, Andrews Episcopal, St. Mark\u2019s Lutheran, Stevens Episcopal and of course that\u2019s not even including the Catholic Churches.\u00a0 Same MO, same speaker, [gives name, can\u2019t understand] bring an Islamic cleric in and the event is always open by an interfaith pastor who gives a\u2026 you know, blessed invocation to Allah.\r\n\r\nNow, then we find out they\u2019re ramping it up because they\u2019re going political.\u00a0 So remember I said that they\u2019re promoting that the SPLC which apparently I just found out that You Tube, we may need to get ready, Dr. Woods, because some of our stuff on You Tube may be taken down soon, because You Tube is now asked the SPLC to come and do auditing for them.\r\n\r\nFacilitator Alexander\u00a0 Bouton, this is in Redmond, Washington, I was a police officer in Redmond, Washington where Microsoft is big.\u00a0 This is January, they had Hamas linked care and the SPLC team up with Christian and Jewish groups to fight anti-Muslim bigotry.\u00a0 So now we have the Muslim Brotherhood joining forces with\u2026 we know they\u2019re already joining forces with Black Lives Matter, now they\u2019re joining forces with the SPLC, with Antifa, because when I got protested in St. Cloud, Minnesota back in September we had BLM Antifa, the Muslim Brother\u00adhood and interfaith groups all working together to protest my event.\u00a0 But now they\u2019re bringing the SPLC and they\u2019re bringing interfaith leaders, giving the cover of what well look, [can\u2019t understand word] \u00a0Christians and [same word] Jews are with us, don\u2019t listen to those bigoted Christians; do you understand that\u2019s you and I?\u00a0 And I have so many more headlines I can give but I just want to show you this is happening in real time.\u00a0 Just a few weeks ago, all the pieces are coming together of this puzzle.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I said to you earlier, are you ready to be maligned for the sake of truth?\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to gear up at the church.\r\n\r\nOf course, we see\u00a0 efforts, as Dr. Woods already pointed out on his show, he did a great teaching on his podcast of Fifteen Reasons why Muslims and Christians Don\u2019t Worship the Same God, I highly recommend you listen to that.\u00a0 But here\u2019s one of the things he talked about, this billboard here in Texas\u2026 this is in TEXAS, one family, one message, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed.\u00a0 Remember according to Islam they were all Muslims.\u00a0 One message, what\u2019s that message?\u00a0 Islam!\u00a0 What happened to interfaith\u2026 is this billboard interfaith?\u00a0 It really isn\u2019t, is it?\u00a0 It\u2019s really saying what the reliance says, Islam is the final message, you Christians just don\u2019t know it yet.\u00a0 You Jews just don\u2019t know it yet but Islam is the final message, as a matter of fact. So this billboard actually tells me that they\u2019re getting more aggressive in their messaging.\u00a0 They\u2019re using the cause of interfaith basically to say we are the final message and when you see on the corner here ICNA, paid for by ICNA, Islamic Circle of North America, that\u2019s Muslim Brotherhood.\r\n\r\nSo what I\u2019m trying to show you is SIRA 364 is isn\u2019t just satanic strategy, it is Muslim Brother\u00adhood strategy.\u00a0 And what\u2019s the strategy?\u00a0 Infiltrate the churches, bring the churches down, confuse, confound and destroy the churches.\u00a0 When we do that we have the nation, just like the Communists, destroy the family, destroy the church, you\u2019ve got the nation, and get the young people, which we see happening in our public schools.\u00a0 The promotion of Islam now.\u00a0 I was talking to someone in the hallway, I just did a bunch of radio shows on our website, if you go to So Project.com one of the [can\u2019t understand word] we have for you is our free radio show, we podcast them and if you go to Media, the first one down, it says Truth in Love, I just did some shows on the ongoing Islamization of our Schools.\u00a0 For eighty years the schools have not been able to teach God as Creator, only evolution, evolution, evolution, evolution, evolution, evolution.\u00a0 We\u2019re now seeing evidence, we highlighted a case out of New Jersey, seventh grade, they\u2019re showing a video and the video is this video with Arabic music on it, very mesmerizing, \u00a0until you know what the song is; it\u2019s a poem written about how Mohammed conquered the infidel.\u00a0 How many seventh graders are listening to that in their seventh-grade class know what the song is?\r\n\r\nLet me say it this way; this is seditious of the highest order.\u00a0 This is both spiritual and national security treason.\u00a0 But until the church awakes to it, until we rise up and say enough is enough it won\u2019t change.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to keep being turned over.\u00a0 And this is the judgment of God upon a nation that has forsaken Him.\u00a0 And so here\u2019s what the video says at the very beginning, it says, through the Arabic music Allah is the creator of the heavens and the earth.\u00a0 I thought time out, hold on, I thought we can\u2019t teach creationism in school.\u00a0 But apparently it\u2019s okay if Allah is the creator, [can\u2019t understand words]\r\n\r\nMoving on, it would be great if I could say to you, folks look, this is just the liberal churches, this is just happening in the mainline denominational liberal churches, the Catholic Church, it\u2019s just that, it\u2019s not affecting biblically conservative churches, right?\u00a0 WRONG, because this year [can\u2019t understand name] and I and Dr. Woods, we covered this story, sad story, where we had apologist, James White, Dr. James White whose often elder in his church, he has for years done debates with Muslims.\u00a0 Why all of a sudden a strategy change?\u00a0 I\u2019m not quite sure, but he decides no more debating, we\u2019re going to go to dialogue, which is why this is called Beyond Debate., a friendly dialogue we think Christians are Muslims.\u00a0 So he decides to invite Shite Dr. Yasser [can\u2019t understand last name] to a church outside, south of Memphis, back in, I think it was February of 2017, maybe January, for an interfaith dialogue.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t take my word for it, go to Youtube, you can watch the whole video if you just type in Beyond Debate or James White, or Yasir Qadhi with a Q you\u2019ll see that it\u2019s there.\u00a0 [Beyond Debate: A Friendly Dialogue Between Christians & Muslims, Dr. Yasir Qadhi & Dr. James White have a friendly debate ]\r\n\r\nNow, the premise is they agree ahead of time, while we agree there are some differences that we have \u201csome\u201d differences, the point is really for our similarities, and here we go: the similarities are that I want you to, he says in the thing, I want you to listen to Dr. Qadhi. \u00a0Dr. Qadhi is my mentor when it comes to the teaching of the Hadith.\u00a0 Dr. Qadhi is a kindred spirit [can't understand word] at one point.\u00a0 I want you to listen to him.\u00a0 In fact, Dr. Qadhi said at one point you should make a video for Christians.\u00a0 Well, when he came out with this story to try to show that Dr. White, this is erroneous, this is unbiblical, we\u2019ve got to stop this. You are a key figure in the\u2026 James White]is in the Reformed theology which I am not, we\u2019re not Reformed theology but would you agree, Dr. Edwards he\u2019s well respected.\u00a0 So this was really, really troubling because if he\u2019s okayed this it\u2019s going to become normative in the biblically conservative churches.\u00a0 So we came out with it and instead of having any humility we got attacked and attacked and attacked.\u00a0\u00a0 We started seeing jihadists from around the world commenting on Facebook and You Tube, attacking us, defending James White.\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s kind of weird.\u00a0 Why would the Muslims be defending him, unless we understand satanic strategy, infiltrates, using what?\u00a0 Common word, interfaith.\r\n\r\nSo we also started getting calls from folks in Counter Terrorism, National Security.\u00a0 I got a call from a retired FBI agent in Tennessee, a call from a detective, a retired detective in Memphis, a call from an ex FBI agent in Oregon, saying listen, you guys know who Yasser Gotti is, now Brandon House knew who Yasser Gotti was, I didn\u2019t because Brandon is based out of Memphis.\u00a0 So we did some digging, we found out wow, Gotti spoke at a CARE event last year, he spoke at an Islam event, he spoke at an [can't understand word, sounds like ik-nah] event, He brought Sirraj Wahhaj to speak at an Islamic school in Memphis, Sirraj Wahhaj is an unindicted coconspirator in the 1993 World Trade Bombing.\u00a0 This guy is connected to all these jihad\u2019s, in fact, he did a teaching on how within Jihad it\u2019s permissible to take the property of Jews and Christians.\u00a0 Why is this guy being allowed in?\r\n\r\nAnd then we dug further and found out he\u2019s connected Linda Sarsour<\/a> who organized the woman\u2019s march after President Trump\u2019s inauguration.\u00a0 Linda Sarsour who is a pro Palestine anti-Semitic, how can I say it, she\u2019s just a miserable human being; if you look at her you just see misery, you see evil.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how else to say it, evil is written all over her.\u00a0 So Yasser Gotti defended her, [can't understand word] and activists of the highest caliber, eloquent, brave, fearless, on and on and on.\u00a0 This was after the woman\u2019s march, I March With Linda its hashtag, defending her.\u00a0 Well, she gives kudo\u2019s back, you should all be proud of these brothers and they all love, protect Imam Omar Silliman, Sheikh Yassar Cotti, and Saras Burricot.\u00a0 By the way, Linda Sarsour, [can't understand word] Oman [can't understand word] just got arrested outside Paul Ryan\u2019s office along with two different of the refugee resettlement agency, for what? One of them was of the Hebrew immigration was one of them, I can\u2019t remember the other one right now.\u00a0 They were standing there in support of the Doca [can't understand word], supporting the Doca, the illegals, calling for amnesty for them, and they got arrested so they\u2019re joining forces so they were there with the interfaith [can't understand word].\r\n\r\nBut what we saw was that if Gotti is connected to the upper echelon of the Brotherhood could he be Muslim brotherhood?\u00a0\u00a0 Well we saw this, this is, last June [can't understand word], in Illinois.\u00a0 Here\u2019s when the [can't understand word], here\u2019s [can't understand word], the head of care, here is Yassar Cotti.\u00a0 What on earth, this means that Yassar Cotti is a primary member of the Muslim Brotherhood.\u00a0 He\u2019s a level one Muslim brotherhood operative.\u00a0 That\u2019s what law enforcement was telling us when they called, they said, what is wrong with you Christians, why are you inviting this guy into the church?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you know that you\u2019re giving him cover?\r\n\r\nSo here\u2019s my question to you?\u00a0 Where is discernment?\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t James White or anybody, or those that are defending James White, why didn\u2019t they have discernment and wisdom to dig and do homework. Dr. White claims he\u2019s been friends with Yassar Cotti for years, claims that Christians should listen to Yassar Cotti, Christians should get his materials and he should make a video.\u00a0 But remember, here\u2019s the premise: the dialogue\u2026 I forgot to mention this, what they agreed to beforehand, and he says it right at the beginning of\u2026 if we had time I\u2019d play more of the clip for you, he says it right at the beginning: tonight we\u2019re not about putting aside our differences, tonight we\u2019re looking for similarities so we\u2019re basically not going to refute each other.\u00a0 So the premise was no matter what is said we\u2019re not going to refute each other.\u00a0 And when we came out and called them out on this we said you can\u2019t invite this Muslim into a church and say oh, it wasn\u2019t on a Sunday morning, I think it was a Tuesday night.\r\n\r\nLet me make a biblical argument for why I believe, and by the way, there\u2019s a four page document that we\u2019ve put together and I know Dr. Woods looked at this as well, this is on our website, A Biblical Response Refuting Interfaith Dialogue Between Christians and Muslims.\u00a0 This is a document that, if you go to our website under the resource tab, the very first one is Say No to Interfaith<\/em>, we\u2019re encouraging people to read this, and if\u00a0 you agree with it, print it out, take it to\u2026 if you\u2019re not a part of this church body take it to your pastor, to your elders, respectfully ask them to look at it.\u00a0 Ask them where do they stand on this issue.\u00a0 This is not an issue that we can be neutral on.\u00a0 This is not an issue that we can go oh, we\u2019re not going to really say anything because we have to take a stand.\r\n\r\nBut what we did was we looked at biblical examples; for example, Ephesians 5, which I don\u2019t think I have on the screen here, but for example, Ephesians 5 talks about that we\u2019re supposed to expose the works of darkness. We\u2019re not supposed to go along with it, we\u2019re supposed to actually expose the works of darkness.\u00a0 1 Corinthians 10:21 \u201cYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.\u00a0 [22] Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?\u201d\r\n\r\nI said to you earlier that if the Bible is from God that means the Qur'an cannot be from God.\u00a0 It\u2019s got to be Satanic, there\u2019s no other source for it.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Or is that a little too much logic.\u00a0 So therefore we can\u2019t have the table of the Lord, sit at the table of the Lord, the Spirit of God, and sit with this ideology that is not the Spirit of God.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cOr do we provoke the Lord to anger, to jealousy?\u201d\u00a0 Do we even believe that God gets angry any more.\u00a0 I saw a video by Robbi Zacharison and R. C. Sproul who were talking about that they talked to emergent church leaders and say things like, you know, no matter what you do God will not be angry with you.\r\n\r\nThis concept that God doesn\u2019t get angry anymore, or anti-nomianism, the concept that we\u2019re not under law any more.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter what you do, right, it doesn\u2019t matter what you do grace wins. You mean we\u2019re not under the moral law?\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry, did God abolish the Ten Commandments?\u00a0 Did I miss that somewhere?\u00a0 \u201cThou shalt not murder,\u201d kill, well, \u201cmurder, lie, covet, cheat, honor your father and mother,\u201d have those been done away with?\u00a0 Are we under a still a moral law, not a ceremonial law, that was fulfilled, morally.\r\n\r\nOkay, let\u2019s move on, how about this one, 2 Corinthians 6:14, \u201cDo not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?\u201d\u00a0 Now I want to play a quick video here for you of Dr. MacArthur who taught on 2 Corinthians 6:14.\u00a0 He says it better than I ever could of why getting engaged with the spiritual enterprise is in error.\u00a0 Watch this very quick.\u00a0 [cannot hear video]\r\n\r\nWhy don\u2019t we invite them to a church?\u00a0 Why do we say we have a lot in common?\u00a0 Why do we say Christians listen to this man who is an Islamic scholar?\u00a0 How can we be doing this?\u00a0\u00a0 Now I\u2019m going to play in a minute, not yet, as we move forward I\u2019m going to play another clip for you from that dialogue and you\u2019ll see the deception but I want to point out another Scripture.\u00a0 This is a very, very important Scripture because now it\u2019s not only erroneous that we\u2019re having interfaith dialogue because we\u2019ve seen interfaith dialogue reaching Christians and Catholics Christians and Mormons, it\u2019s error but with Islam it takes a lower level because the Bible warns us about an antichrist spirit.\u00a0 The references again in 1 John 2, 1 John 4, 2 John 7-11, the only places in the Bible, four verses, five references to the word \u201cantichrist.\u201d\u00a0 Now there\u2019s obviously other references to THE antichrist, but that\u2019s where the term is\u00a0 used.\r\n\r\nHere is 2 John 7-11, very powerful.\u00a0 \u201cFor many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as<\/em> coming in the flesh.\u201d\u00a0 So If you deny Jesus Christ has come in the flesh you\u2019re what?\u00a0 A deceiver, not deceived, notice it doesn\u2019t say deceived, a \u201cdeceiver.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cThis is the deceiver and the antichrist. [8] Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. [9] Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.\u201d\u00a0 Now here comes the real warning. [10] If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,\u201d what teaching?\u00a0 That Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, as God incarnate, right?\u00a0 Died on the cross, raised from the dead, was buried, raised from the dead, ascended to the Father, He established Himself as the Messiah, as the ONLY path of salvation, as God, and oh by the way, He\u2019s coming back.\r\n\r\nIf anyone comes to you and doesn\u2019t bring this teaching it says, \u201cdo not receive him into your<\/em> house, Now someone asked me well, does that mean I can\u2019t invite a Muslim into my home?\u00a0 That\u2019s not what it\u2019s saying. What\u2019s the context?\u00a0 What was the \u201chouse\u201d back then?\u00a0 The church, the spiritual house.\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 They were meeting in homes.\u00a0 So you don\u2019t invite the spirit into your spiritual house.\u00a0 \u201c\u2026and do not give him a greeting, [11] for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.\u201d\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t know about you, that verse makes my knees shake.\u00a0 So we brought this verse to the attention of Dr. James White.\u00a0 Dr. White, we believe you thoroughly violated, right Dr. Woods, you\u2019ve clearly violated 2 John 7-11, you\u2019ve brought a man who is representing a false religion, a false spirit, into the body of Christ,\u00a0 you gave him a greeting, when he says he\u2019s a kindred spirit, you welcomed him, you encouraged Christians to go listen to his videos online, learn from him, and he,\u00a0 you\u2019ll see in a minute, brings a teaching that clearly denies Christ. \u00a0So here is the response of Dr. White; he basically wrote a treatise, a paper, right, where he said, \u201cafter careful review of 2 John 7-11 I have determined that this verse in context does not apply for today.\u00a0 It was back then, it doesn\u2019t apply to today.\u201d\r\n\r\nYou see, because there\u2019s no other way around this verse, right?\u00a0 There\u2019s no other way you can go around it; I mean, it hits you right between the eyes.\u00a0 So the only way you can justify it is say it doesn\u2019t apply to me because otherwise it\u2019s clearly been violated.\u00a0 And again, let\u2019s put James White aside for a second.\u00a0 Did the Lutheran Churches violate it?\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 Did the Episcopal Churches violate it?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Did the Methodist Churches violate it?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 You brought terror into the church, an Islamic Imam from Iran into the church to deceive people and present a false Jesus.\r\n\r\nLet me tell you why I believe it\u2019s false.\u00a0 It has an antichrist spirit.\u00a0 Number 1, Islam denies the Trinity, very clearly.\u00a0 In our Chrislam video we looked through multiple verses that show you Islam denies the Trinity.\u00a0 What does that mean?\u00a0 That means [can't understand word].\u00a0 Islam denies that Jesus has come in the flesh.\u00a0 Remember, they don\u2019t believe that God can come into His own creation, that Jesus cannot be God and become flesh.\u00a0 Now they will say that He was born of a virgin, but simply as a prophet.\u00a0 Islam denies the crucifixion.\u00a0 You go what?\u00a0 This is the shocker for a lot of Christians who don\u2019t know the Qur'an.\u00a0 Islam denies the crucifixion of Jesus ever happened.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re going to look at the verse here in a minute from Surah 4:157, but let me set it up this way:\u00a0 To refute that Jesus was crucified isn\u2019t just to refute the Bible, it\u2019s to refute secular sources as well.\u00a0 Josephus backed this up.\u00a0 Tacitus, Pliny, the Roman Governor, even the Babylonian Talmud, there are multiple extra Biblical sources that validate that there was a man named Jesus of Nazareth that was crucified.\u00a0 Maybe they don\u2019t believe that He was God.\u00a0 Six hundred years later, 601 A.D. exactly Mohammed gets a revelation from who?\u00a0 Well, we know it was Satan, he later claims it was Gabriel, Jabriel, I\u2019ll cover this tomorrow, verses from [can't understand word] says very clearly he came to me and said I am demon possessed, woe to me, poet or prophet, and he went on a cliff and was about to go kill himself until supposedly Gabriel intervened.\r\n\r\nSo the angel that shows up to Mary 600 years earlier says Mary, you\u2019re highly favored among women, God is going to breathe upon you, by the Spirit you are going to conceive and bear a Son, His name is Jesus Immanuel, God with us.\u00a0 He\u2019s going to be the Savior of the world.\u00a0 The same angel shows up 600 years later and apparently got Alzheimer\u2019s, or amnesia, or something.\u00a0 Maybe he missed the briefing in heaven, and what happened?\u00a0 Because he shows up to Mohammed and says this verse\u2014remember, this is supposed to be\u2026 the Qur'an is supposed to be recited from heaven word for word for word.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the verse: \u201cAnd for their saying\u201d the Jews, it\u2019s talking about the Jews, \u201cindeed we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, and they did not kill Him nor did they crucify Him but another was made to resemble Him to them and indeed those who differ over it or are in doubt about it, meaning if you deny this you\u2019re in doubt, you\u2019re the one who\u2019s in doubt.\u00a0 They have no knowledge of it except the following of an assumption and they did not kill Him for certain!\r\n\r\nYou go\u2026 well\u2026 then who killed Him?\u00a0 So the Qur'an tells us Jesus wasn\u2019t crucified, the Sharia Law tells us Jesus wasn\u2019t crucified.\u00a0 The Sunna tells us Jesus wasn\u2019t crucified.\u00a0 But you know what?\u00a0 Don\u2019t take my word for it, why don\u2019t we listen to expert, Dr. Shake Yasercate, \u00a0Listen to what James White allowed him to say in his church among Christians and on You Tube.\r\n\r\n[sounds like: Yasher caute]\u00a0 Listen to what James White allowed him to say in a church among Christians and on You Tube.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see what he says about who Jesus is and what is their definition of who died on the cross?\u00a0 You ready?\r\n\r\nWatch this video:\u00a0 [can\u2019t hear video] this is really important, we\u2019ve got to get this one.\r\n\r\n[Tape ended]\r\n\r\nThat they said (in boast), \u201cWe killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah\u201d\u2014but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not\u2014nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\u201d (Qur\u2019an, 4:157-158, Yusuf Ali)","series_sermon_number":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
