The One world religion: 2022

Isn't this a natural progression? Different tribes had different religious beliefs. One tribe would beat another in battle and the people it took in from that defeated tribe continued to hold to some of their religious beliefs while taking on some of the beliefs of the winning tribe. Over time those belief systems would merge to a larger belief system.

Doesn't this hold as well as religions were written for larger and larger communities? Religion as a unifying force to strengthen the tribe and the village and the city and the nation and the empire?

So now we are arriving at a state of civilization that is global, no matter how much some people do not want it. It's true, it's here, it's how things are done now. So one world religion only makes sense. Well, it only makes sense unless a person is one who believes in one specific religion that has worked so well over the centuries that the descendants of those who believed it long ago no longer question it as being true rather than what it really was, a belief system used to control people.

That is what they want you to believe. You obviously have fallen for their lies.

imho the stumbling block is the divinity of Christ
put that aside and Catholic / Protestant / Muslim can agree on a lot.

I think there is a fair amount of push for this at the top / educated elite levels of many churches
I can easily see a scenario in which (maybe as a result of a disaster) the three faiths form a sort of alliance

A lot of the old-school fundamentalists / traditionalists will refuse to go along. they will be dismissed and ridiculed.

imho

They they they. Always put blame on ''them'' when you can't figure out something for yourself. What is your perspective on history that makes you believe that anything in that post is untrue. Might it be that you believe that because your own personal choice of which ''they'' to listen to told you to?

Well, there is only ONE religion that advocates global rule and it aint Christians, it aint Sikhism, it aint Buddhism etc. etc. I'll let you guess which one I'm talking about and THEY fundamentalist and moderates alike will stand no brook with sharing. It'll be them or nothing.
It is in their book and teachings, now I'll let you pretend about a mixture of religions is going to happen.

There's only one idea that fully encompasses spirituality in all its myriad flavors.

Seven years ago, at the KCM (Kenneth Copeland) Minister's Conference (2014), Tony Palmer (a Catholic bishop) said in a speech that Protestantism is over, and that we're all Catholics. Pope Francis even delivered a video message at the conference. All fell in line, lock step with the message. Interesting side note: Tony Palmer died a few months later in a motorcycle accident.

Take a look at the World Economic Forum transformation maps; 250 maps of a detailed agenda for the world. There's even one for COVID.

It just so happens that religion plays a big part in these transformation maps. Under the Agile Governance map, we see Role of Religion, which then opens up a map of these subjects:

• Conflict and Peacebuilding
  
• Impact on Social Movements
  
• Religion in Ethics and Law
  
• Faith and Global Development
  
• Impact on Social Movements
  
• Gender Norms and Roles
  

What religious power has a hand in all of the above on the world stage? The papacy.

Since the Pope has been in office, he has been working toward bring world religions together as one. Calling for the "common good" and climate change. Read Laudato Si (2015) and Fratelli Tutti (2020). These are encyclicals with a world agenda, both religious and political.

It's happening.

That's some great info. Yes, it IS happening and they're not shy about presenting it.

I'll add this into religion category...

NASA hired 24 theologians to study human reaction to aliens: new book

Actually occurred in 2014, but WEF theologian promoting new book, “Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine,” due out in 2022.

In the 2016-17 academic year, he was a fellow at the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, on a NASA-sponsored programme to consider the implications for human society and self-understanding of life elsewhere in the universe. His monograph on the significance of 'exobiology' for the main aspects of the Christian faith will be published in 2021.
Dr Andrew Davison

This decade will be about conditioning the sheeple to accept a brave new reality, new belief system, and the WEF stooges prediction say we will find evidence of alien life on Mars in circa 2030s.

Pretty sure if aliens are found to be real with proof then a one world religion may pop up but besides that I do not see it happening. Unless something extremely incredible happens.

Even if that were the case, wth would they know or share about them other then regurgitated dogmas that seem line up with cheesy sci fi an horror plots, if the real thing showed up which ends up being contrary, and wasn't into crazy sex parties to have Satan summoned?

Protestants will be like "See, we told you the pope is the antichriist!" and Catholic will be like "I can't believe I was in a false religion the whole time!", and this is because everyone talks about the antichrist and do not know that the false prophet might be an antipope..

what do you think abou the one world religion that is being launched across different parts in the world this 2022?

That it is a distracting misnomer, since the religious leaders meeting at these UN summits, are not actually forming one world religion. The religions they represent, continue as individual religions till this day, in spite of these summits or what is proposed at these summits. And it's distracting from the fact that false religion (referred to as Babylon the Great in the book of Revelation), has been around for thousands of years, and that these religions represented at these summits, including Christendom (which includes Trinitarianism, Binitarianism, Unitarianism, worship or reverence of the cross as an idol, belief in the myth of an immaterial immortal soul, pagan rituals and festivals such as Christmas and Easter, and the teaching of all the other myths discussed in this article: One Myth Leads to Another, and many more false doctrines in Christendom), have been a part of Babylon the Great for centuries already. So if you must use the term "one world religion", applying it to Babylon the Great would be more appropiate, and there's nothing new about Babylon the Great, it's not something that still needs to be "launched", as you put it there. Christendom is not the same thing as Christianity, it promotes a large variety of counterfeit forms of Christianity. Or in other words, what they promote and teach, and what that leads to, is not Christianity. And it never was (true/real/actual) Christianity to begin with.

Babylon the Great (Reasoning From the Scriptures)

Definition: The world empire of false religion, embracing all religions whose teachings and practices do not conform to the true worship of Jehovah, the only true God. Following the Flood of Noah’s day, false religion had its beginning at Babel (later known as Babylon). (Gen. 10:8-10; 11:4-9) In time, Babylonish religious beliefs and practices spread to many lands. So Babylon the Great became a fitting name for false religion as a whole.

What evidence points to the identity of Babylon the Great, referred to in Revelation?

It could not be the ancient city of Babylon. Revelation was written at the end of the first century C.E. and describes events that would reach down to our day. The Encyclopedia Americana says: “The city [Babylon] was taken by the Persians under Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. Later Alexander the Great planned to make Babylon the capital of his eastern empire, but after his death Babylon gradually lost importance.” (1956, Vol. III, p. 7) Today the city is an uninhabited ruin.

In the symbolism of Revelation, Babylon the Great is referred to as a “great city,” a “kingdom” that rules other kings. (Rev. 17:18) Like a city, it would have many organizations within it; and like a kingdom that includes other kings in its domain, it would be international in scope. It is described as having relations with political rulers and contributing much to the wealth of men in commerce, while itself being a third element that “has become a dwelling place of demons” and a persecutor of “prophets and of holy ones.”—Rev. 18:2, 9-17, 24.

Ancient Babylon was outstandingly noted for its religion and its defiance of Jehovah

Gen. 10:8-10: “Nimrod . . . displayed himself a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah. . . . And the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel [later known as Babylon].”

Dan. 5:22, 23: “As for you [Belshazzar king of Babylon] . . . against the Lord of the heavens you exalted yourself, . . . and you have praised mere gods of silver and of gold, copper, iron, wood and stone, that are beholding nothing or hearing nothing or knowing nothing; but the God in whose hand your breath is and to whom all your ways belong you have not glorified.”

An ancient cuneiform inscription reads: “Altogether there are in Babylon 53 temples of the chief gods, 55 chapels of Marduk, 300 chapels for the earthly deities, 600 for the heavenly deities, 180 altars for the goddess Ishtar, 180 for the gods Nergal and Adad and 12 other altars for different gods.”—Quoted in The Bible as History (New York, 1964), W. Keller, p. 301.

The Encyclopedia Americana comments: “Sumerian civilization [which was part of Babylonia] was dominated by priests; at the head of the state was the lugal (literally ‘great man’), the representative of the gods.”—(1977), Vol. 3, p. 9.

Reasonably, therefore, Babylon the Great as referred to in Revelation is religious. Being like a city and an empire, it is not limited to one religious group but includes all religions that are in opposition to Jehovah, the true God.

Ancient Babylonian religious concepts and practices are found in religions worldwide

“Egypt, Persia, and Greece felt the influence of the Babylonian religion . . . The strong admixture of Semitic elements both in early Greek mythology and in Grecian cults is now so generally admitted by scholars as to require no further comment. These Semitic elements are to a large extent more specifically Babylonian.”—The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria (Boston, 1898), M. Jastrow, Jr., pp. 699, 700.

Their gods: There were triads of gods, and among their divinities were those representing various forces of nature and ones that exercised special influence in certain activities of mankind. (Babylonian and Assyrian Religion, Norman, Okla.; 1963, S. H. Hooke, pp. 14-40) “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato’s] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel (Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.

Use of images: “[In Mesopotamian religion] the role of the image was central in the cult as well as in private worship, as the wide distribution of cheap replicas of such images shows. Fundamentally, the deity was considered present in its image if it showed certain specific features and paraphernalia and was cared for in the appropriate manner.”—Ancient Mesopotamia—Portrait of a Dead Civilization (Chicago, 1964), A. L. Oppenheim, p. 184.

Belief regarding death: “Neither the people nor the leaders of religious thought [in Babylon] ever faced the possibility of the total annihilation of what once was called into existence. Death was a passage to another kind of life.”—The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, p. 556.

Position of the priesthood: “The distinction between priest and layman is characteristic of this [Babylonian] religion.”—Encyclopædia Britannica (1948), Vol. 2, p. 861.

Practice of astrology, divination, magic, and sorcery: Historian A. H. Sayce writes: “[In] the religion of ancient Babylonia . . . every object and force of nature was supposed to have its zi or spirit, who could be controlled by the magical exorcisms of the Shaman, or sorcerer-priest.” (The History of Nations, New York, 1928, Vol. I, p. 96) “The Chaldeans [Babylonians] made great progress in the study of astronomy through an effort to discover the future in the stars. This art we call ‘astrology.’”—The Dawn of Civilization and Life in the Ancient East (Chicago, 1938), R. M. Engberg, p. 230.

Babylon the Great is like an immoral harlot, one living in shameless luxury

Revelation 17:1-5 says: “‘Come, I will show you the judgment upon the great harlot who sits on many waters [peoples], with whom the kings [political rulers] of the earth committed fornication, whereas those who inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.’ . . . And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: ‘Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.’” Revelation 18:7 adds that “she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury.”

Is it not true that the dominant religious organizations have made it a practice to consort with political rulers for power and material gain, though this has resulted in suffering for the common people? Is it not also true that their higher clergy live in luxury, even though many of the people to whom they should minister may be impoverished?

Why can religions that profess to be Christian properly be viewed as a part of Babylon the Great, along with those who know nothing of the God of the Bible?

Jas. 4:4: “Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.” (So, though they know what the Bible says about God, they make themselves his enemies if they choose friendship with the world by imitating its ways.)

2 Cor. 4:4; 11:14, 15: “The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.” “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works.” (Thus Jehovah’s chief adversary, Satan the Devil himself, is really being honored by all who do not worship the true God in the manner that He has appointed, even though they may claim to be Christians. See also 1 Corinthians 10:20.)

Matt. 7:21-23: “Not everyone saying to me [Jesus Christ], ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”

Why is it urgent to get out of Babylon the Great without delay?

...

What will happen to people who did not know Bible truth but lived and died in the past as part of Babylon the Great?

Who would have thought that reversing the divide and rule scheme is tacking up so much energy and getting so much resistance...

Even though that scheme hasn't been reversed and will not be reversed until Satan and his main religious tool of control, Babylon the Great, are removed from the picture (see previous comment of mine).

To all believers you can still practice and believe in your god just like all the other religious people not believing in the god approved by an institution.
Just leave the flock and find your own way to your own God, or end up in the new stable.

Personal religion or personal religious beliefs are also part of Babylon the Great. Like believing in the myth that some spirit or immaterial part of man* survives the death of the physical body, i.e. that "death is a passage to another kind of life", as the Babylonian religious teachers taught (see previous comment again, skip to "Belief regarding death"). *: usually referred to as the soul, but also spirit and energy. Such as in the teaching of reincarnation, which is built upon this Babylonian religious philosophy and belief, because...

One Myth Leads to Another
Myth 1: The Soul Is Immortal

...

What does the Bible say?

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”​—Ezekiel 18:4, King James Version.

Regarding the creation of the first human soul, the Bible says: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul [Hebrew, neʹphesh].”​—Genesis 2:7.

The Hebrew word neʹphesh, translated “soul,” means ‘a creature that breathes.’ When God created the first man, Adam, He did not infuse into him an immortal soul but the life force that is maintained by breathing. Therefore, “soul” in the Biblical sense refers to the entire living being. If separated from the life force originally given by God, the soul dies.​—Genesis 3:19; Ezekiel 18:20.

The doctrine of the immortality of the soul raised questions: Where do souls go after death? What happens to the souls of the wicked? When nominal Christians adopted the myth of the immortal soul, this led them to accept another myth​—the teaching of hellfire.

Compare these Bible verses: Ecclesiastes 3:19; Matthew 10:28; Acts 3:23

FACT:

At death a person ceases to exist

Does conscious life continue for a person after the spirit (life-force) leaves the body?

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit [Hebrew, from ruʹach] goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (NAB, Ro, Yg, and Dy [145:4] here render ruʹach as “spirit.” Some translations say “breath.”) (Also Psalm 104:29)

In this context, the Hebrew word ruʹach, means life-force.

Is the soul the same as the spirit?

Eccl. 12:7: “Then the dust returns to the earth just as it happened to be and the spirit [or, life-force; Hebrew, ruʹach] itself returns to the true God who gave it.” (Notice that the Hebrew word for spirit is ruʹach; but the word translated soul is neʹphesh. The text does not mean that at death the spirit travels all the way to the personal presence of God; rather, any prospect for the person to live again rests with God. In similar usage, we may say that, if required payments are not made by the buyer of a piece of property, the property “returns” to its owner.) (KJ, AS, RS, NE, and Dy all here render ruʹach as “spirit.” NAB reads “life breath.”)

Eccl. 3:19: “There is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit [Hebrew, ruʹach].” (Thus both mankind and beasts are shown to have the same ruʹach, or spirit.)
Myth 2: The Wicked Suffer in Hell

...

What does the Bible say?

“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, . . . for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”​—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, Revised Standard Version.

The Hebrew word Sheol, which referred to the “abode of the dead,” is translated “hell” in some versions of the Bible. What does this passage reveal about the condition of the dead? Do they suffer in Sheol in order to atone for their errors? No, for they “know nothing.” That is why the patriarch Job, when suffering terribly because of a severe illness, begged God: “Protect me in hell [Hebrew, Sheol].” (Job 14:13; Douay-Rheims Version) What meaning would his request have had if Sheol was a place of eternal torment? Hell, in the Biblical sense, is simply the common grave of mankind, where all activity has ceased.

Is not this definition of hell more logical and in harmony with Scripture? What crime, however horrible, could cause a God of love to torture a person endlessly? (1 John 4:8) But if hellfire is a myth, what about heaven?

Compare these Bible verses: Psalm 146:3, 4; Acts 2:25-27; Romans 6:7, 23

God does not punish people in hell

REJECT MYTHS, STICK TO THE TRUTH

What can we conclude from this brief review of myths that are still taught by many churches? These “tales [Greek, myʹthos] artfully spun” cannot rival the simple and comforting truths of the Bible.​—2 Peter 1:16, The New English Bible.

Therefore, with an open mind, do not hesitate to compare with God’s Word​—the source of truth—​what you have been taught. (John 17:17) Then, this promise will prove true in your case: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”​—John 8:32.

Free from superstition and false stories, false beliefs and false doctrines, as used by "the god of this system of things" (2 Cor 4:4) to ensnare you in his snare, false religion/Babylon the Great.

False Religion is a Snare and a Racket (playlist)

“If, in fact, the good news we declare is veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things* [Or “this age.” See Glossary.] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination* [Or “light.”] of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.” (2 Corinthians 4:3,4; note that Christ is the image of God, not God himself, as most denominations in Christendom teach, Trinitarianism and Binitarianism)

“For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome* [Or “healthful; beneficial.”] teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled.* [Or “to tell them what they want to hear.”] They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories.*” [*: Greek: myʹthos; KJ: “myths”] (2 Timothy 4:3,4)

“So we should no longer be children, tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes.” (Ephesians 4:14)

“Look out that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy and empty deception according to human tradition, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ;” “We have much to say about him, and it is difficult to explain, because you have become dull in your hearing. For although by now* [Lit., “in view of the time.”] you should be teachers, you again need someone to teach you from the beginning the elementary things of the sacred pronouncements of God, and you have gone back to needing milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a young child. But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their powers of discernment* [Or “their perceptive powers.”] trained to distinguish both right and wrong.” (Col 2:8; Hebrews 5:11-14)

“However, the inspired word clearly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired statements and teachings of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, whose conscience is seared as with a branding iron.”(1 Timothy 4:1,2).

Knowledge (Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2)

...
Knowledge (gno'sis) is put in a very favorable light in the Christian Greek Scriptures. However, not all that men may call “knowledge” is to be sought, because philosophies and views exist that are “falsely called ‘knowledge.’” (1Ti 6:20) ...
... Thus Paul wrote about some who were learning (taking in knowledge) “yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge [...] of truth.” (2Ti 3:6, 7)

“... having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power and from these turn away. From among these arise men who slyly work their way into households and captivate weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” (2Ti 3:5-7)

“Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from the empty speeches that violate what is holy and from the contradictions of the falsely called ‘knowledge.’ By making a show of such knowledge, some have deviated from the faith.
May the undeserved kindness be with you.” (1Ti 6:20,21)the bible-accurate history reliable prophecy part 1 of 3 (playlist)"He" is referring to Satan. “But what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to eliminate the pretext of those who are wanting a basis for being found equal to us in the things about which they boast. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness. But their end will be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)

Whatever the one world religion is, it will have to be compelling enough to reverse the trend of younger ppl turning away from religion.

Belief in the spiritual dimension of life has existed since time immemorial. Religious structures have played an important role in the history of humanity. Many religions have oral traditions, symbols, and sacred texts designed to give meaning to life or explain the origin of life or the universe. Religion influences how we perceive the world around us and the values we accept or reject. At church meetings at firstchurchlove.com... we often discuss these questions and try to find the answer in the Bible.
