Islam Has Roots in Christian Heresy - Dr. Michael Youssef

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    In the 6th century, there was a heresy
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    that flooded North Africa: the
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    Church of Augustine. That heresy was known
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    as monotheism. At the core of it, has many
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    other things, but at the core of it, that
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    movement said that the Canon is not
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    closed. That God still speaks today, with
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    the same authority, as He did through the
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    men and women who authored the Word of
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    God, under the guidance of the Holy
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    Spirit. On one stage, the Church of North
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    Africa, 5,000 ???, that is
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    tens of thousands of churches. And here's
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    how it happened. When the Arab
    armies arrived
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    and invaded North Africa, a Christian
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    land, in the middle of the 600's,
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Christians did something - what some of us
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    proponent of chrislam today did - and they
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    said: "Can God be speaking to us in a
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    fresh word from Arabia?" And within a
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    short period of time, all the churches,
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    vast majority of them at least,
    turned into
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    mosques. You see what I mean by my fear
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    of the church departing from biblical
  • 1:07 - 1:12
    moorings. Fast-forward few hundred years,
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    when the Turks expanded Islam all the
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    way to Austria. It was on the corpse of a
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    heretical, weak non-biblical Church. And I
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    must tell you that, as I look around
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    today and I see the Church is plagued by
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    universalism, heterodoxy, a hyper grace,
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    emergent church, the insider movement,
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    chrislam, I grieve more and become more
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    concerned about this than I am about
  • 1:41 - 1:47
    Islamists, what they call third jihad.
