Unveiling of a new mural countering Islam in Northern Ireland:

THE BELOW is a video of a May 2014 sermon titled “There Is But One God” (sometimes referred to with the subtitle “The Sermon That Ministries and Pastors Will Not Be Allowed to Preach in the Future”), preached by Pastor Jim McConnell at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

It is based primarily on 1 Timothy 2:5 (“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus”) and strongly affirms classic Christian exclusivism: the one true God is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, with Jesus as the only mediator, savior, and ransom who gave Himself for humanity.

The sermon sharply contrasts this with Islam, describing Allah as a “heathen,” “cruel,” and “demon” deity, and calling Islam itself “heathen,” “satanic,” and “a doctrine spawned in hell.” McConnell criticizes the British government (including references to the House of Windsor) for appeasing Muslims financially while Christians face persecution, church burnings, and martyrdom in Muslim lands, citing a specific case of a young convert named Miriam facing public flogging and hanging.

He references Enoch Powell’s warnings about immigration and cultural change, biblical texts on avoiding fellowship with devils, the uniqueness of Christ’s mediation and intercession, and his own 69 years as a believer (at age 77). The message warns that such outspoken Christian teaching may soon be restricted by law in the UK.
