In Reno, Nevada they have interfaith meetings of different religions. It is suppose create an atmosphere of tolerance. It actually brings Christ down and raises the false teachers up. Participants here have been the Catholic Church, Reform Judaism, Muslims, Bahai Faith, United Methodists and numerous others. One publicized event was a Catholic Church Priest exchanging the Bible for the Bagavadgita with a Buddhists priest. That is exactly what the Emergent Church is all about. They do not discuss what their differences are, but what they have in common. In other words, they leave out a lot of scripture. They leave out the Cross.

Guest LadyC Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Are the churches participating in interfaith meetings apostate? It actually brings Christ down and raises the false teachers up. i'd stay far, far away from that. why go to a church that brings Christ down? your question though, is it apostate.... at the very least, the attendees are being willfully mislead. at most, yes, i think apostate fits the bill, because they've turned their back on the one true God to lift up other gods.

If they are coming together to join religions and to join into a common spiritual war, than that would be a bad thing. If they are coming together to join in good works (ie feeding the hungry, housing the homeless....) than not so much. Personally, I think Christian organization should have Christians only. The mixing of religions in doing works results in confusion. People see it and think that none of them are convinced they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jesus was around, He never tried to emerge different beliefs together. He proclaimed that He is the way, the truth and the life(John14:6). Jesus also mentioned that He is the bread of life(John6:33). It is only through Him that you can find life(John10:10). Religion cannot do that. Since religion doesn't bring life, there's no point in trying to mix life and death together. Amos 3:3 says "How can 2 walk together unless they agree?" There is no way that people who believe differently spiritually are going to walk in agreement because each religious belief teaches differently. You cannot worhip with someone who believes in a different God. Acts4:12 mentions that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ. These religions teach differently, therefore, there's no agreement spiritually because we as Christians acknowledge the need for Jesus Christ as saviour when people practing these religions believe other standards. The apostles who preached the gospel during the early church days, did not compromise or try to mix faiths. Why should we? Jesus said in Matthew28:19 to go out and make disciples out of all nations. How can we make disciples out of people if we are trying to mix our beliefs with other faiths. Edited November 30, 2009 by jsca777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
