		<description>Sue, what they need to do is what every Christian needs to do, and that is test everything in light of scripture. If they follow this woman down her path, then that means they probably never had the truth to begin with, or are on the road to becoming apostate themselves. 

A good way to understand this is Christ's parable of the sown seeds. Matthew 13:3-8, 18-23 says: 

"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown…
…"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

Meaning, if you don't have the truth in you, you can easily be led astray by such people as this so-called priest. People who would follow this woman would be like the seed that fell on rocky soil, amid the thorns or on the path. 

Such bad seed never grows. And what will be their fate?

The Lord warns that there will be many, many people on judgement day who will call out "Lord, Lord!" claiming to be His, saying that they worshiped Him, cast out demons in His name and performed miracles in His name, but He will send them away from Him forever because "I never knew you." 

Those who call themselves Christians but who do not have His truth in them are just like the seed that fell on the path, the rocky soil or amid the thorns.    

Hope this helps.</description>

		<description>I have a question.  What happens to the followers of Ms. Redding?  If they are true Christians will they be condemned for following someone who is now teaching from both the Bible and the Quran?  Must they leave her Church to be saved or can they just dismiss any reference she might make to the latter?  

I'm with Guss here, I do not understand how anyone could profess to belongs to more than one faith.</description>

		<description>On the other hand,  at some point you realize God loves us so much He made the ultimate sacrifice for us so we don't go to hell.  That sacrifice was the physical pain, torture and death of His only begotten Son, Jesus, who was with Him from the beginning and is with Him even today and forever.

Jesus told us Himself in His earthly incarnation we cannot serve two masters because we will love one and hate the other or hate one and love the other.

To proclaim Christianity and Islam is contrary to both beliefs but is even worse because this woman has marked herself for eternity and unless she repents will enter into the gates of hell.

What today's people don't want to accept is God is incapable of changing His mind.  If He said something once He meant it for all time.  To change His mind would make Him a liar and He is incapable of lying.

We have fellowship in our church where we welcome each other on Sunday mornings at the urging of the preacher from the pulpit.  Then we praise the Lord in song and listen to a good sermon not intended to make any of us feel God has changed anything in His way of thinking since before time began.  If He said it He meant it for all eternity.

Thank you, Truman, for this post.</description>
