Rick Warren's Center for Peace

Regardless of what Rick Warren says or attempts to set forth as a "new truth" for Christians, Islam and Christianity are not religious partners. This has been driving me crazy all day. Did you know that Time Magazine named this man: "America's Most Powerful Religious Leader" in 2008? Where is that powerful leadership taking many Christians? Right into the palm of deception! A "Center for Peace" between Christians and Muslims can never truly be because the Word of God brings persecution to true believers/disciples of Jesus Christ. This is our calling and in it many will be saved by the truth, but there will always be those who deny Jesus Christ and hate us for it. "Love" founded upon lies is not really love at all and can, most certainly, never be a replacement for the Truth, for love "does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth." (1 Cor 13:6 NASB)

For those who may be confused, swayed, or falling into these lies, this is what the Quran says about Jesus as the Son of God:
"And they say, 'The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son.' You have done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son." (Sura 19:88-92) 
Could it get any more clear than that? Remember what the Bible says, especially of those who deny the Son and, henceforth, also deny the Father:
"Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." 1 John 2:22-23 NASB
Jesus is and always will be the Son of God, fully God and fully man, crucified to take away the sins of the world. Alive forevermore! Please do not be fooled.
