Seven Strikes of the Sword

​Seven Strikes at the Error of Chrislam

​If seven strikes of the sword of God (Ephesians 6:17) doesn’t excise a false doctrine from its adherents, nothing probably will. That is why I limit this series to refute error to seven quick easily maneuverable death dealing blows from the word of God (Revelation 19:15).
Many may not realize that an insidious machination of Satan is arising quickly to confront the truth of Jesus Christ as the son of God and God’s word as his last will and testament to mankind. This error is called Chrislam. It is an unholy joining of God’s people with unbelievers. It tries to unite Christians and the truth with the Muslims and the lies of Mohammed. One cannot believe that Jesus, “is the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” as Peter stated from God (Matthew 16:16-17) and accept this unholy union. This confession is the very foundation of the Christ’s Church (Matt. 16:18).

1. This unholy doctrine accepts as the word of God both the Quran and the Bible. Mohammed was not born till 570 or 571 A.D. Jude states that the faith had been once delivered to the saints approximately 500 years previously (Jude 3). Paul also states that the scriptures available to Timothy were all that was needed to learn and teach what the “man of God” should be and should do (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Why would we need another revelation later?
2. What is Paul talking of in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18? In particular he refers to idolatry, but it applies to all false religion. We cannot have agreement with infidels!
3. One teaching of Islam that Christians cannot agree with; claims that Jesus Christ was only one of the many prophets who led up to and pointed to the coming of Mohammed. John was that for Christ (John 1:15, 20, 23, and 29). Was Christ but a forerunner for Mohammed?
4. The previous belief of Islam infers that Mohammed and not Jesus is the Messiah mentioned by the other prophets. Jesus said that Moses and the prophets pointed to him, Jesus, (Luke 24:27). Peter said they pointed to Christ as the Messiah (Acts 3:22-26).
5. Islam further says that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God. John the apostle states unequivocally that he is (John 1:14). The angel told Mary she would bear the Son of God (Luke 1:30- 35). Even the Father himself claimed Jesus as his Son twice (Matt 3:17; 17:5).
6. Islam teaches that belief in Mohammed as God’s chosen is the way to God. Peter says there is no other name given under heaven in which salvation is offered to man (Acts 4:12). Jesus, a prophet even to Muslims, says he is “the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the Father except by me” (John 14:6). Jesus also stated, “for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins” (John 8:24).
7. Moses, another accepted prophet by Muslims, says one would rise up from among the them, the Jews, like unto himself and that they were to hear him (Deuteronomy 18:15-19). Mohammed was not a Jew! Also Mohammed could not be the Messiah because he was not in the line of David. (Jeremiah 23:5-6).
