Chrislam in the United States, an Unholy Union

Chrislam in the United States, an Unholy Union
My Mom had told me a little about Chrislam a few weeks ago. This is a dangerous direction that some churches in our country is going in. 1 Timothy 4:1 says "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons..."
So, what is Chrislam? Chrislam is a movement, hoped by some to be the answer for the ongoing clash between the West, which is predominantly Christian, and the Middle East, which is predominantly Muslim. Though a form of it reportedly began in Nigeria and is not new, it is a new movement in the United States. Several protestant denominations have adopted this effort in the name of “love thy neighbor” and to promote an ecumenical, or unified, reconciliation between Christianity and Islam.
When examining what God says about the merits of Chrislam, it is first important to clarify of which god we are speaking. Allah is the god of Islam and not the same deity as the God of Christianity and Judaism. Christianity declares the Son of God, Jesus, to be God incarnate in human form.1 In Christianity, the deity of Jesus is non-negotiable, for without His deity, Jesus’ death and resurrection would not have been sufficient to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2).
Islam adamantly rejects the deity of Jesus Christ and says Allah has no sons [Surah 72]. The Koran declares the idea of ‘Jesus is God’ is blasphemy. (Christ is considered shirk or “filth” to Muslims.) Furthermore, Islam denies the death of Jesus Christ on the cross (4:157-158). Islam’s name for Jesus is Isa. The Jesus or Isa in the Koran is not the same Jesus as in the Bible. Islam views Isa as a prophet who was appointed by Allah to prepare mankind for the coming of Mohammad.
Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13 say “No one can serve two masters.” Exodus 20:5 tells us that we are not to bow down, serve, or worship any other god. “For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God…” James 1:8 also tell us that “a double-minded man will be unstable in all his ways.”
Chrislam will be debunked by many while others promote its efforts. So the question may be “Which god will you serve?” Jesus proclaims “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This is the foundation and rock of salvation. Those who have jumped on the bandwagon of Chrislam have the misguided notion that the church must adapt to a changing society. This is false; the church was never called to adapt to society, but to adapt to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are to love one another with the love of Christ, but not to forsake Him in the process.
1 John 2:22 states, “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?” 1 John 4:3 (NKJV) says, “And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
Maybe we should not be too surprised. Maybe we should have seen it coming. Incredible as it seems, it is now a shocking reality. What people would have thought impossible not so long ago is now coming to pass. While not actually new on the scene, it is relatively new to America.
Please take the time to read this link. It's an eye opener, at least it was to me. http://www.thejerusalemconnection.us/blog/2011/10/06/chrislam-straight-from-the-pits-of-hell.html

Re: Chrislam in the United States, an Unholy Union
Are we living in the days of the apostate church? I hope that some of you will join me in discussion this topic.
