He has a special Crush...on their type...a fixation if you will.... a FETISH sort of a deal.
Pope Francis states...”There is no life that is more precious than another one because it belongs to a specific race or religion.”
The Pope is teaching Universalism or One World Religion...
The unity that many desperately are now seeking is expanding to acceptance of other religions.... Ecumenism is one of the major means the New Age movement intends to lead those who may not be willing to co-operate on an ‘interfaith level’.
With the acceptance of other religions comes a universal view of mankind..... A good portion of Christianity is already on the road of being brought together under ‘a FALSE UNITY that excludes doctrine, so it is not surprising to see individuals and denominations willing to ‘first’ merge with ‘other compatible religions’.
But as the barriers are let down ‘incompatible religions’ (Islam etc.) will become the next step..... For Christians it starts by uniting with Roman Catholicism’s moral agenda, what many don’t know is that Catholicism teaches that,... “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham” (Catholic Catechism). ....The Pope unites in prayer and effort with Hinduism, the traditional African religions of animism,... he acknowledges Buddhism ....approves of the Dalai Lama who is regarded as a living deity......
If you are involved in ecumenism you’re already connected to this. Ecumenism unchecked leads to interfaith which will eventually move the church into universalism or One World Religion.
Universalism teaches that all religions are worshipping the same God in different ways... This is what is known as syncretism. ....Some are teaching there are Messianic Muslims, that they can accept certain aspects of Jesus and still go back to practice Islam...... Others say that God was in various cultures before Christianity and these cultures had a valid concept of God. ...That Christ reaffirms what they have known in their cultures practice.
What is proposed is that no matter which religion is practiced, there are ‘some common denominators’ we can unite and agree on,... that they all have different roads that lead to the same destination. ......There are many who call themselves Christians that are moving toward a universalist view of mankind, where we can accept anyone’s God as the same God of the Scripture claiming we do not worship different Gods but the same one by different names.
... Accepting other religions as valid under the auspices of “all of us are worshipping the same God,” with different names is self-contradicting. .....The differences of religion are like different species. You can’t say a bird is a dog even though it may eat similar food. A whale may be a mammal but not like a human is a mammal. A car is not the same as a plane though they both may both run on fuel. What I’m trying to say is that there are differences in religion that cannot be overlooked, in both their mechanism of practice as well as defining God’s nature.
The promotion of today’s modern spirituality of there not being one path to God, but many is not what God says in the Bible, and it is made very clear by numerous statements. Universalism in the church is the natural outcome of liberalism. In the process of opening the door in the name of tolerance we end up accepting practices that oppose the Bibles clear teachings on the basics.
