I'm in shock with how many people are supporting this! However, most of them have Islamic names, so that kind of makes sense! Isn't the bible pretty clear about what happens in the end? Of course I believe that peace is a good thing, but there is no peace without Jesus! I can't help but to wonder about the credibility of some of these Christians. It's not my place to decide who is saved or not saved, but the Holy Spirit does lead to the Truth, and points to Jesus as the Savior. If they don't have truth, then is it wrong to assume they don't have the Holy Spirit? And if they don't have the Holy Spirit, how can they have Jesus? (1 Corinthians 12:3) I may be thinking out loud here... Wow, I just went to http://www.acommonword.com, and read the comments people had on this issue.

My. God. Seeing Jim Wallis of Sojourners on that list doesn't surprise me, but...Rick Warren? Bill Hybels? What on earth are they thinking??? I'd have to see the response letter in full before I make a final judgement, but from the sound of the article, it's just more wishy-washy "let's all get along" foolishness. When it comes to our spiritual destiny, and our understanding of and relationship with God, Christianity is inherently intolerant, because truth is always exclusive. Again, we do NOT share any common faith or spiritual heritage with Islam. We love Christ as the Son of God. Muslims reject Christ as the Son of God. That is the dividing line. Oh. My. God.

This is really an insult to God, and I can't imagine that He will take it lightly! There is NO comparison to Islam and Christianity. They say they believe in our bible, and yet it is a sin for them to believe that Jesus was the Son of God! My prayers are with the people who are wrapped up in this religion, and especially with the people in our own country! Have people forgotten 9/11? Islam is not a religion that preaches peace! Here's something interesting: http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-moon-god.htm How many people know that Islam was originally a pagan religion?

While Muslims leaders may lay claim to a common heritage, it is a groundless claim. We have close Muslim friends who speak of a common heritage in the Old Testament, Allah did not call Abraham out of Ur. Jared, I appreciate your post.

We don't worship the same God. I think it would be one thing if religious leaders decided that they would no longer harbor ill will or hostile feelings and/or thoughts toward other faiths. But it's just not accurate to suggest that we all worship the same God. Great post. You’re right Jared. We don’t worship the same God.

Great stuff. This topic is near and dear to my heart as well. Another big point... the Koran states that Allah can not have a son... And obviously our God did... so as you said... we do not worship the same god! Hey Jared. Great stuff. This topic is near and dear to my heart as well.
