Take a look at the signatories on this letter. Among them are Rick Warren, Bill Hybels and Robert Schuller.<\/strong>
\n <\/strong>
\nGod did not call Christians to establish common ground with unbelievers. He told us to preach the good new of salvation through Jesus Christ. It does not matter to these “Christian” leaders that Islam rejects Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind and the Son of God?<\/strong>
\n <\/strong>
\nI also find it unbelievable that Christians would call Mohammad a prophet. This demonic man got nothing from God but instead he established a religion that would be in direct opposition to God’s people.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\nI also have news for all of you. The future of the world does not depend on Muslims and Christians living in peace together. The future of the world depends on everyone submitting to the Lordship of Jesus.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\nThere is no common love of God between Muslims and Christians. Muslims cannot know the Father because they deny His Son. They also have no love for Christians. So believing a lie does not make it true.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\nThere are many more things that can be said about this “Christian” response to the Muslims but just from the points I made on the above posted paragraph it should be obvious that no Christian with any understanding of the Christian faith could sign such a letter. <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\nThis tells me that some of the biggest Evangelical leaders in Christianity do not believe the teachings in the Bible. Anyone following the leaders on this list should ask themselves why they are submitting themselves to a person who believes in anti-Christ Universalism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yale Center for Faith and Culture – About Us<\/a>
\n\u201cLet this common ground\u201d \u2013 the dual common ground of love of God and of neighbor \u2013 \u201cbe the basis of all future interfaith dialogue between us,\u201d your courageous letter urges. Indeed, in the generosity with which the letter is written you embody what you call for. We most heartily agree. Abandoning all \u201chatred and strife,\u201d we must engage in interfaith dialogue as those who seek each other\u2019s good, for the one God unceasingly seeks our good. Indeed, together with you we believe that we need to move beyond \u201ca polite ecumenical dialogue between selected religious leaders\u201d and work diligently together to reshape relations between our communities and our nations so that they genuinely reflect our common love for God and for one another.
\nGiven the deep fissures in the relations between Christians and Muslims today, the task before us is daunting. And the stakes are great. The future of the world depends on our ability as Christians and Muslims to live together in peace. If we fail to make every effort to make peace and come together in harmony you correctly remind us that \u201cour eternal souls\u201d are at stake as well.
\nWe are persuaded that our next step should be for our leaders at every level to meet together and begin the earnest work of determining how God would have us fulfill the requirement that we love God and one another. It is with humility and hope that we receive your generous letter, and we commit ourselves to labor together in heart, soul, mind and strength for the objectives you so appropriately propose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
