Christians & Ramadan
When I heard that Brian McLaren was going to observe Ramadan I was blown away. It is blasphemy for Christian to participate in a practice that is worship of a false God. USA Today wrote an interesting article about the controversy. Nice to read Al Mohler and Mark Driscoll proclaiming the truth. I do want to quibble with part of the article, though. Eric Gorski, the author write
There is disagreement among evangelicals about whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God
That’s a fast statement. You can’t be an evangelical and believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. You can’t even be a Christian and believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Christians believe that God eternally exists in three persons – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit and Muslims do not believe this.
As the emerging and liberal church seek to be more palatable to the world, this is the kind of heresy that is bound to increase. May we be bold to proclaim the truth.
