Meagan Basham on X
Given that I have been critical of the pope in the last few days, including on his self-described communion with Muslims, I do want to take a minute to remind Southern Baptists that our leadership has taken similar stances. The former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, JD Greear, wrote in his book Breaking the Islam code that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. And the former head of our lobbying arm, Russell Moore, argued that we must advocate for the building of mosques in the United States.So this strange promotion of Islam within Christianity is happening all over. Both Catholics and Protestants should be asking why their leadership is doing this. Meagan
Ultimately, there will be no new religion called Chrislam. Chrislam is a ruse. Once the euphoria fades, all there will be is Islam.
Islam has been Christianity’s enemy since the time when Muslims were known as Saracens:
“Saracen, in the Middle Ages, any person—Arab, Turk, or other—who professed the religion of Islām. Earlier in the Roman world, there had been references to Saracens (Greek: Sarakenoi) by late classical authors in the first three centuries AD, the term being then applied to an Arab tribe living in the Sinai Peninsula. In the following centuries the use of the term by Christians was extended to cover Arab tribes in general; and, after the establishment of the caliphate, the Byzantines referred to all Muslim subjects of the caliph as Saracens. Through the Byzantines and the crusaders, the name spread into western Europe, where it was long in general use and has survived until modern times.” Brittanica
The Neronic Cross: Symbol of Death
Dr. Kurt Koch (1913-1987), a noted German theologian who pastored, counseled and delivered more than 20,000 people suffering from occult bondage, wrote that from the time of the first-century persecution of Christians, on through the eighth century, when the Saracens fought in Spain against the Catholic Church, their warriors had the symbol of death (the Neronic cross) painted on their shields: The same symbol of hatred and death against Christians was used by the Saracens when they fought against the Crusaders in A.D. 1099.
By the Middle Ages, the Neronic cross took on more sinister meaning:
“…the Neronic cross – known in many places as the pentagram – served as the symbol of the black mass, satanic cults and blasphemy.”
During the 20th century the Neronic cross or pentagram became the symbol for the “peace” movement. It was the arch-communist Bertrand Russell who adapted the sinister Neuronic cross as the now famous peace symbol because he himself was a determined enemy of Jesus Christ and Christianity.
According to Koch, the infamous ‘peace symbol’ has been worn by various arch-enemies of Christianity from leaders of the communist student movement in the USA to Russian trained Arab guerillas and the black pope Anton La Vey.
It was on a Neronic cross that the Apostle Peter was crucified upside-down:
“Simon Peter at last sees it all as Jesus saw it all from the beginning. Even then, Simon sees it from a topsy-turvy angle. He and some two thousand other Christians have been tied to crosses stuck upside down on the grassy embankment around the Imperial Gardens on Vatican Hill. They have been daubed with pitch. Tonight they are to be living, screaming, dying torches. Emperor Nero, his lovely concubine Poppaea, and their guests will have light to eat by and sights to joke about. Each Christian will die in the classic sign of Satan – the upside-down cross.” (“Capturing the Pagan Mind, Peter Jones, p. ix)
Today’s Persecution of Christians
“Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero. Estimates of the numbers of Christians under assault range from 100-200 million. According to one estimate, a Christian is martyred every five minutes. And most of this persecution is taking place at the hands of Muslims. Of the top fifty countries persecuting Christians, forty-two have either a Muslim majority or have sizeable Muslim populations.” Christian Tragedy in the Muslim World, Bruce Thornton, Hoover Institute, July 25, 2013
‘Peace, peace,’ they say, “when there is no peace” in their hearts. Jeremiah 6:14
From the first century crucifixion of Peter and other Christians, to the murder of more 100-200 million Christians by Islamists to 30,000,000 Christians by fake Jewish Marxist Communists and the torture, beheading, and crucifixion of thousands more by Isis, on through to our own time, the Neronic Cross, symbol of Islams undying hatred of Christianity and the popular peace symbol has signified hatred and death against Christians.
