Five Religions Attempt Unification
This is from my e-mail dated Oct. 26, 2011.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is financing a new organization designed to bring all the world’s religions together. “The organization hopes to prevent conflict through interfaith dialogue,” writes Spencer Kimball for the German news site Deutsche Welle. “The foreign ministers of Austria, Saudi Arabia and Spain signed the founding treaty of a new international organization designed to foster dialogue between the world’s major religions on Thursday.” “The thesis is valid that world peace cannot exist without peace between the world’s major religions, ” Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said during the signing ceremony in Vienna, according to Deutsche Welle: The King Abdullah Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, initiated and financed largely by Saudi money, is set to have its seat in Vienna. Plans envision an organization with a governing body composed of 12 representatives from the world’s five largest religions. The governing body is set to be staffed by two Muslims (Sunni and Shiite), three Christians (Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox), a Buddhist, a Hindu and a Jew. The organization will also have a consulting body with 100 representatives from the five world religions plus other faiths as well as academics and members of civil society.”
Wow. They’re going to invent another religion that compromises all those doctrines. This may appeal to some. Remember not to compromise basic saving doctrines, no matter what the rest of the world is doing. Hold faithful to: Jesus is the Son of the Living God. He died on the cross as payment for sin and is raised from the dead. Repenting of sin and personally verbally receiving Him as our Savior and Lord is the beginning of our life long journey with Him and to Him for eternity. Short, sweet and uncomplicated. Stay faithful and true.
