The basis (John 17:20-22) for your pushing of a one world religion, is baseless. (makes me wonder, do you also push a one world government?)

The unity that Jesus is praying for, John 17:20-22, has to do with the individual. He is not praying for the corporate unity of the Roman Catholic Church, a church-state tyranny that ruled the western world for over a thousand years. Pushed here on FR with great fervor in thread after thread.

Nor is he praying for the unity of a syncretist one world religion, now also beginning to be pushed here on FR.

The book of Revelation predicts both political and religious unity, not the true individual forms of it. The political one world government is called the “beast” in Revelation; the one world religion is called the great whore. Both, the Bible says we should “come out” of, and have nothing to do with either.

Has what to do with the individual?

Jesus was praying for unity among believers. The context is the entire chapter of John 17. You have no argument with me. Your argument is with Jesus; it is His prayer, not mine.
