  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Tucker Carlson prompts theological 'firestorm' for claiming 'Muslims love Jesus,' Trump like Antichrist

Sorry to pick this post apart, but I have to pull up this part. I find it a further oversimplification.

It is, I understand, encumbent on Muslims to believe Allah and Yahweh are one and the same as that is laid out in the Quran, our God is their God.

It doesn't work both ways, there is nothing on Christians to consider Allah and Yahweh to be the same. Some Christians do, others are not so sure, and I have heard some, ok, seen some yt videos, vehemently opposed to the idea.

It's true that Allah literally means God in Arabic, Arabic speaking Christians refer to Yahweh as Allah, when they are speaking Arabic, but while the names are the same it doesn't necessarily follow that who they refer to are theologically the same. Those mentioned yt videos contrasted the character of Yahweh and Allah and found them very different.

For what it's worth, I'm one of the not so sure. With Jewish people I think we are all clear that however we refer to God or G-d, we are on the same page, in whatever language. That it was necessary to bring the Arabic word Allah into English and use it almost exclusively when referring to God in the Quran and in Islam, suggests to me that the word God wasn't adequate as Allah indeed expresses something different.
If you want to check out what people are beieving, - study what they do.

The 'center of their universe' is a black stone in Mecca to which they make pilgrimage and kiss.

This indicates reverence of a very different spirit and certainly NOT the God of Israel.

Psalm 2:12
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Good evening.

Islam I believe teaches that God has no son and that Jesus is not the Son of God, nor indeed the ultimate messenger, being superceded by Mohammed.

Hebrews 1:1-4 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Islam is so far from the gospel that perhaps we should look on anyone who teaches chrislam as being evidently deluded in the extreme.

God Bless You :)

Maybe before Mohamed started writing. My boy Tucker is infecting a lot of minds, including my son's, on Zionism.
The Lord Jesus warned about deception, false prophets and false teachers as being the pre-eminent sign of his return, we are commanded to expect and keep watch for false teachers in order to guard the flock, that the church is so anaemic on keeping this command is something many will have to answer for in shame on the day of the Lord. The playbook for a false teacher is to say seemingly acceptable things in a charismatic style, to build a following and to lower inhibitions, they will begin to introduce their poison, drip by drip by drip.

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Matthew 23:10 Nor are you to be called 'teacher', for you have one teacher, the Christ.

The encouraging thing about false teachers is that even from the start they all say things that contradict the teachings of Jesus, to those with ears to hear alarm bells ring right away. To anyone ensnared by a deceiver the pure Word of God is the antidote. There's enough in the bible to refute any false teaching a hundred times over.

God Bless You :)

Muslims do revere Jesus but they do not see him as a prophet.
Muslims do see a "Jesus" as a prophet--as the greatest prophet in fact (but not the "sealing"--the final--prophet).

Allah and Yahweh are the same entity but very different understandings toward their attributes and divinity.
Their version of the Old Testament is not even the same document revered by Jews and Christians.

Their "Jesus" doesn't have the essential characteristics as our Jesus.

Their Allah does not have the essential characteristics as our God.

I don't see any reason to believe they worship the same God.

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if indeed the one coming proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or you⁺ receive a different spirit that you⁺ did not receive, or a different gospel that you⁺ did not accept, you⁺ bear with it well.

You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.


This tucker is proclaiming another Jesus, a different Jesus, a different gospel and a different Spirit, as the bible foretells in 2 Corinthians 11:4. He should be marked and avoided IMHO. God Bless All.
I am confused at this verse.. We ought to put up with it then?

I am going to say what Milo said about Russia. Oh, Darn I guess we shouldn't try and get along with a Nuclear super power. As if anyone could survive a Nuclear iran.

What are we supposed to do then? They were at 60% uranium.. However, Trump has poked the bear. How much longer can we ward off people who think we are Satan?
And for the love of Christ, can we please stop acting like we legitimately, Are Satan!

They have a point, you know.. And I just feel like we're poking the bear. Would it stop them, regardless? I'd just like to buy us, Time..

What makes you think the US could not survive a nuclear Iran?

Define the ways Iran would be different from North Korea.
