Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A Muslim worship service being held at the National Cathedral was interrupted by a Christian protester offended by the Christian church being used for worship by those who deny the divinity of Christ.
“Jesus Christ died on that cross over there!” Christine Weick yelled after the announcements at the start of the service. “He is the reason why we are to worship only him. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior!”
Weick continued to yell her objections as she was being removed from the church.
“We have built, and allowed you here in mosques across this country. Why can’t you worship in your mosque, and leave our churches alone?”
The National Cathedral’s website said “Leaders believe offering Muslim prayers at the Christian cathedral shows more than hospitality. It demonstrates an appreciation of one another’s prayer traditions and is a powerful symbolic gesture toward a deeper relationship between the two Abrahamic traditions.”
One of the Cathedral’s officials has previously said she believes Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
On crazy situations like this where true believers are deeply troubled but can be divided on how to best deal with it, consider a fantastical scenario. If God were to ask you to switch places with one of the non-believers and gave you a half hour to share with your brothers and sisters before you transferred your salvation, what would your plea to them be, what would you hope they would do to help you again find salvation?
Wonderful insightful comments here! And yes, every Muslim there, and everywhere this news item is received, has now heard the witness that “Jesus Christ died on that cross over there! He is the reason why we are to worship only him. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior!”
Thank you brave lady, Christine Weick! Glory to God! Hallelujah!
Just got convicted by Holy Spirit! Maybe we should we pray that while muslims are praying in churches, (even what some would consider apostate churches), that Yashua/Jesus would show up and reveal Himself like he is to thousands of muslims.in dreams and in person and they are being radically saved? What if He showed up in a church building and revealed Himself to hundreds all at the same time!!?
Allow Christians now into the mosques to offer prayers to Yashua/Jesus!!!! Let’s see true tolerance and appreciation for other faiths and see the hospitality they offer. You will instead see brutality from radicals who will now allow their mosques to be “defiled”. God, have mercy on nation and do not let us suffer because of the blind “leaders” and reveal Yourself to muslims who need to know the One True God is a God of love but is also a jealous God.
As a former Episcopalian I am outraged that our national cathedral is being used in this way. It is a Christian church. Muslim prayers don’t belong in this church. We’re not allowed in their mosques. Too me they are making a clear statement and shoving it down our throats. Church,wake up!
Neither we nor Jews are allowed to worship on The Dome Of The Rock or any their mosques for that matter. That is how tolerant the muslim is but bless God they are on Jesus` turf now when they are in a church, so let us claim them for Jesus and that he “draw them” to him and convict them and deal with the in error of the vicars statements. We do not serve the same God yet, but they will because we`ll claim it.” I claim the heathen as my inheritance” that`s scriptural. Be proactive dear brothers and sisters. They want to be in our churches then let them get saved. I love churches that post banners ” Sinner Welcome Here” They want to be in our country and spend our money” In God We Trust” is on our money and that God is Father,Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Muslim prayer being recited in the National Cathedral has far deeper implications than just saying a prayer. They are making a statement that to their ideology is taking dominion of our nation. To them once they set foot on a land and people it is theirs and everyone else is to be put to death for not worshiping Allah whom they declare is GOD. Take heed and stand up America and enforce Living God’s Authority over evil.
Christians must declare the infallible and unchanging Word of God over these illegal threats to be protected from their illegal and evil statements and actions. Holy living before Holy God and people is the only way these faith declarations based on God’s Word will have an effect against evil transgressors. Let’s get holy America so God can answer our prayers. AMEN!
The Bible says that God hates mixture. We will be forced to take a stand for the truth or receive error.
Muslins believe that you should become a believer of islam. If you don’t they say they will put you to death. This is not my god. My God says if you love me you will keep my commandments. One of those commandments is thou shalt not kill. Jesus said, “Follow me.” Jesus did not put a death threat on you.
I agree with the protester! Muslims have their mosques and DO NOT need to use Christian churches. Allah is NOT the God of the Christians! Muslims do not accept Jesus as the Son of God and only true Savior. You stay out of our churches and we will stay out of your mosques.
