We live in a day of relativism/PostModernism and so Christianity is not persecuted, but reading a certain book on Islam I see this is not the case in many other places in the world. Islam has crushed Secularism and relativism in other areas and is aiming to do the same here. With the re-election of Obama perhaps Islam has gotten a little closer. If God would have allowed a Mormon to be president it would have been graceful as the Mormons do not seem to destroy Christians nor Jews, unlike Islam. So what do you say am I on to something? The author of this book has excited me, and who knows later in the book he may explain how Islam is paving the way to the AntiChrist's reign and when he comes to reign he will crush Relativism no question.
There is indeed a big push today to have the religions of Christianity/islam to come together and cooperate with each other, as said to both worship 'same God!"
Know that is false, for Allah is NOT yahweh of the Bible!
Read the latest book by Erwin Lutzer and learn how Islam is crushing Relativism in other parts of the world and will soon do the same here. Relativism has weakened the church and friendship evangelism has as well because people do not stand for anything.
Postmodern christianity, based much theology upon all religions sent from/by God, God same to everyone, and that culture knows best morally today, go with the "cultural", not biblical mandate!
