Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims
Rick Warren...has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
The effort, informally dubbed King's Way, caps years of outreach between Warren and Muslims. Warren has broken Ramadan fasts at a Mission Viejo mosque, met Muslim leaders abroad and addressed 8,000 Muslims at a national convention in Washington D.C.
Abraham Meulenberg, a Saddleback pastor in charge of interfaith outreach, and Jihad Turk, director of religious affairs at a mosque in Los Angeles, introduced King's Way as "a path to end the 1,400 years of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians."
The men presented a document they co-authored outlining points of agreement between Islam and Christianity. The document affirms that Christians and Muslims believe in "one God" and share two central commandments: "love of God" and "love of neighbor." The document also commits both faiths to three goals: Making friends with one another, building peace and working on shared social service projects. The document quotes side-by-side verses from the Bible and the Koran to illustrate its claims.
"We agreed we wouldn't try to evangelize each other," said Turk. "We'd witness to each other but it would be out of 'Love Thy Neighbor,' not focused on conversion."
Saddleback representatives declined to make Warren available for comment. Tom Holladay, associate senior pastor at Saddleback, said the outreach to Muslims is part of Saddleback's PEACE Plan, a wide-ranging effort to solve major world problems by mobilizing governments, businesses and faith communities.
"This is us serving our own community with Muslims here in Orange County," said Holladay. "We realize we don't agree about everything and we're very open about that. ... You just recognize the differences and recognize the points where you can work together."

re: "outreach to Muslims part of Saddleback's P.E.A.C.E. plan'
While this story has generated much interest, there really is nothing new or particularly surprising about it. If anything, only that the actual launch of what might rightly be called Warren's "Purpose Driven Muslim" program has taken this long to finally get off the ground. The fact is that Warren clearly stated his goal to do this very thing over 2 1/2 years ago:
Rick Warren Recruits Muslims For One World Religion P.E.A.C.E. Plan 7-5-09 “I will tell you that I am not interested in interfaith dialogue. I am interested in interfaith project...He also gave a practical example of how Muslims and Christians can work together by pointing to his PEACE plan...."
"re: 'his PEACE plan' - The earth's self-proclaimed elite fully realize that their one world government 'global management plan' cannot succeed without control over the religions of the world. One reason this is necessary is so that members can be organized and essentially used as 'communitarian' worker bees for the NWO. The sales pitch being used by Warren and others to gain this objective is along the lines of the various religious groups keeping their distinctives but at the same time overlooking these differences so as to "work together" for the "common good"". [precisely what is stated in the above article]
Warren has already pledged one billion so-called Christians for this grandiose scheme and it is highly significant that the effort to assimilate Islam into his global interfaith PEACE plan has now begun. It is a huge step.

"From: Global 'Purpose Driven' Delusion Officially Launched 5-26-08 The globalist agenda to direct and control all aspects of life on the planet is the true design behind the development of this ambitious world-wide 'social-works' network. For successful global management, an efficient network of trained and motivated humanitarian workers that will function efficiently within the 'sustainable-community' based management system known as Agenda 21 is absolutely essential..." - [i.e.] "The PEACE Coalition...a new international alliance of churches, businesses, ministries, universities, and other institutions. The coalition will cooperate in a global mission strategy called the P.E.A.C.E. Plan" - "[12-3-08] Today, leaders and activists from across the Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Hindu faiths joined ONE for a phone call announcing some news on ONE Sabbath, which is ONE’s multi-faith effort to engage congregations on global poverty and disease issues."

So here we are now, 2 1/2 years later, and we are not at all surprised to see Warren's Purpose Driven 'Muslim-Christian' PEACE program, the King's Way, moving out to "serve their community" together. It's been expected. The globalist agenda to merge the world's religions for service in the planned communitarian global system has not changed and will not change. Religions joining hands to work together must be made to happen because the NWO 'global kingdom' being constructed will not work otherwise. The fact that the Muslim connection is now actually going forward is definitely noteworthy though. Do take note bible prophecy believers because the prophetic clock just ticked a few more ticks. Maranatha
For the record it should be noted that apostate Christendom, in this case Purpose Driven 'christians', and Muslims, do in fact worship the same god [see first paragraph of article] - which would be the god of this world, not the God of the Bible. While on the topic, it should also be noted that the Catholic Church made the same agreement with Islam over three years ago: Pope On first Ever Catholic-Islam Forum: Agree As Family Of Same God 11-8-08
The coming together of a one world religion - you are seeing it. Adjust accordingly. Rev. 18:4

"In the book of Revelation the one called Antichrist is seen as initially rising from the political world, and in seeking to establish global control in the political realm, he will "go forth conquering, and to conquer." [Rev. 6:2] Also seen is a second world leader, this one to come from the religious or 'spiritual world, and he rises to power as the head over a global interfaith conglomeration. This will be the personage described in God's Word as the 'false prophet' (Rev. 13:11, 16:13, 19:20). This system of blended religions will be politically compatible and allowed for a period of time, an adjustment period if you will, but at a later point [Rev. 17:16] the job of the 'false prophet' will be to re-direct the different "faith traditions" to the worship of the Antichrist himself. He will have supernatural power, as will the Antichrist, to accomplish his 'mission', as this verse in the thirteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation reveals:" read full: job-opening-false-prophet
