How can he say God is pleased when we work together with Musslins?When the Bible it's self ask how can Children of

Light have anything to do with darkness.

Both Rick Warren and Eboo Patel are frauds and friends of the the god of this earth - Satan.

[stinkygeorgia1]

This man, Rick Warren, is a fraud. He is a man seeking to please everyone. A great deceiver: Rick Warren

How do you expect to convert the muslims? just go into a muslim temple and tell them Jesus is the way, truth, and life? I am glad you have strong faith but think before you speak. Don't be so judgemental about Pastor rick warren's apporach. I don't see you doing anything to reach out to muslims. Evengelizing takes time, action, and grace of God to do anything. If you really care for them pray to God to open their eyes to see the grace of God in Jesus Christ. Action speaks louder period

two questions, shouldn't we be evangelizing the Muslim, that the God of the Holy Bible would open their heart to the true gospel? The point about the Muslim taking about God... It's not the same God of the Bible, I don't think the Muslim when speaking about God, is talking about Jesus Christ, he is speaking about some other god. Count the number of time Rick mentioned Jesus Christ in this clip, that's the problem!

@ezekial38yo When saying this, the goal is not to dispute. Do you have a resource for this for I have looked for a resource of this statement. David Spangler-if you want to see who he is working for-goto his website on the Lorian website about incarnation and compare to what the emergent church teaches and will see the same exact concepts taught. Discovering this-despite hos other errors-seeing him through McLaren and Bell influancing so many-definetly am against him.

Jesus clearly clearly clearly clearly clearly said that "I am the way, the truth and the life - NO ONE comes to the Father except through me"

Here is the problem for the "all roads leads to heaven" people. Heaven is a Kingdom. In fact, more accurately, it is the "Kingdom of God'. But here is the problem. There is a King that rules this Kingdom. And His name is Jesus. So... if you think you are going to 'heaven' but don't believe in Jesus Christ, ...just eactly what heaven are you heading to?
