Franklin Graham Speaks Out: "Both my father Billy Graham and my mother attended Wheaton College in Illinois–in fact that's where they met. I'm surprised and disappointed that the faculty council there is now recommending the college drop their plans to terminate a professor who published that she believed Islam and Christianity worship the same God in December. This is no minor issue that should be debated. Islam denies that God has a Son. They deny that Jesus is God. They do not believe in a Triune God–the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I can tell you–Islam and Christianity clearly do not worship the same God. How the faculty council can now support this professor being allowed to teach students is deeply concerning." (Statement taken from his facebook page)
A Christian college must teach the biblical truths about Christianity. It cannot employ a teacher who believes and teaches a premise that contradicts what God said in His Word. God is NOT Allah because muslims believe Allah cannot have a son. The God of the Bible, the God of Israel, sent His only Son Jesus Christ to save the world from sin and give all who put their faith in Him, eternal life. (John 3:16)
The God of the Bible said He is the God of Israel. His Name given to Moses was "I Am" and in Hebrew written in tetragrammaton as YHWH (Yahweh)and in Genesis 22:14 Abraham called a place "Jehovah Jireh" (The LORD Will Provide) God showed Himself to Moses as the Eternal God (El Shaddai) The Mighty God (El Gibbor) and Sovereign God (Adonai). God never called Himself "allah."
Today, enemies of Israel are spreading false teachings about God saying He is the same God of Christians and muslims. Some have been so bold as to claim that Jesus was a "Palestinian Jew" and that the prophets were all muslims. In the Qu'ran, muslims are allowed to lie ("taqiyya") in order to advance Islam. This is what the muslim professor at Wheaton College is doing, perhaps to dilute the truth of the Bible.
Our faith is grounded and based on the Word of God, the Bible. It is there we will find out Who God says He is. Many times in the Books of the Bible God called Himself the "God of Israel".
GOD IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (Ezekiel 39:7-8)
"I will make known My Holy Name among My people Israel. I will no longer let My Holy Name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD, am the Holy One of Israel.
"It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD. This is the day I have spoken of." (Ezekiel 39:7-8)
"I will no longer hide Myself from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD." (Ezekiel 39:29)
"Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will My people be shamed." (Joel 2:27)
Amos 9:14-15 (NIV)
14 --and I will bring my people Israel back from exile.
“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them.
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 --I will plant Israel in their own land,
never again to be uprooted
from the land I have given them,”
says the Lord your God."
Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who existed even before Abraham was born. "Before Abraham was born, I am." (John 8:58)
Jesus Christ is One with the Father (John 10:30) and in Him the fullness of God dwells (Colossians 2:9) He is God (John 1:1-2)
Jesus Christ said in Revelation 22, the last Book of the Bible, that He is coming again soon and ALL MEN around the world will see it. Jesus Christ is eternal and lives forever, He is not a human prophet as some false teachings claim.
