You think they have nothing to do with each other. Think again. A new creature has been born, a MBB, or Muslim Background Believer. They accept Jesus and then continue to practice their Muslim religion at the mosque. This is reminiscent of witchcraft practitioners in South America who embrace both witchcraft and Catholicism and of Christians in Africa who continue to practice witchcraft. God says not to eat at the table of demons and God’s table at the same time, but the church has done it for centuries. Yes, when Constantine introduced pagan holidays into the church such as Christmas, the day of the winter solstice celebrating the sun god Mithra, the church did the exact same thing as those who practice Muslim and Christianity simultaneously, and those who cling to witchcraft while claiming to follow Jesus. It is impossible to follow Jesus and Satan at the same time. Read more…
When will we understand that God wants “undistracted devotion to [Jesus]” (1 Cor. 7:35)? While the context is a time of persecution in which Paul doesn’t recommend marriage, the principle is clear and is sustained by John 4:24, which says we are to worship God in spirit and in truth.
How can you worship God in truth when you are worshipping false gods at the same time? God clearly told His people in Deuteronomy 12:30 when they entered the Promised Land and dispossessed the pagan nations there, not to “inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’”.
He continued, “Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it” (Deut. 12:32).
Is it still not clear? Then read this: “Do not learn the way of the nations…For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter [You wouldn’t want your Christmas tree to fall on our dining room table, would you?]” (Jer. 10:2-4).
You can reason around this all you want and say God was talking about real idols. But the truth is, Christmas was celebrated with a “Christmas” tree thousands of years before Jesus was born!
Why can’t we see that Chrislam and Christmas are similar? It’s because Satan makes compromise seem so righteous. It is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil all over again. And Jesus had to die on a tree to save us from that knowledge. To the practitioners of Chrislam and Christmas, Jesus would say, “Your sins are forgiven. Go and sin no more!”

Could it be that their is no differences just as our pastor says all ways lead to the Father God.

Clara, Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life, and He is the only Door to the Father. If you try to enter with the falseness He has forbidden, you will have to wait to enter later at a resurrection after Jesus' reign on earth.

Could it be that chrislam has truth in it while Christmas has rituals?

Ellie, A mixture of truth and error pollutes both since they represent the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Mmmmmm. Good topic. Makes the flesh irritated. I like it when my flesh gets irritated. Sanctification. So far there has been no bashing just loving discussion, I like it. I bet the Father does too. Working out your salvation with fear and trembling. Let's keep going.
