Prince Charles of England launched a new movement called Respect, in order to, “Promote tolerance among the world’s religions.”
Global Warming promoter Al Gore made this amazing statement: “The richness and diversity of our religious tradition throughout history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. But the emergence of a civilization in which knowledge moves freely and almost instantaneously through the world has spurred a renewed investigation of the wisdom distilled by all faiths. This panreligious perspective may prove especially important where our global civilization’s responsibility for the earth is concerned.”
But he’s not the only one. Hollywood, the Governments, and even the Vatican are promoting this One World Religion:
Oprah: One of the mistakes human beings make is believing that there is only one way to live and we don’t accept that there are diverse ways of being in the world . . . that there are millions of ways to be a human being and many ways, many paths to what you call God. Her path might be something else and when she gets there she might call it ‘the Light.’ But her loving and her kindness and her generosity — if it brings her to the same point it brings you, it doesn’t matter whether she calls it God along the way or not.
Audience Member: And I guess the danger that could be in that is that is sounds great on the onset, but if you really look at both sides, I….(Oprah cuts her off)
Oprah: There couldn’t possibly be just one way!
Audience in general: What about Jesus?
Oprah: What? What about Jesus?
2nd Audience member over several voices: You say there isn’t only one way. There is one way, and only one way, and that is through Jesus!
Oprah: There couldn’t possibly be only one way with millions of people in the world!
2nd Audience member: Just because you say there isn’t, because you say…
Oprah: No! There couldn’t possibly be…
2nd Audience member continues: …you intellectualize it and say there isn’t, if you don’t believe that, you are all buying into the lie.

Good Morning America
Charles Gibson: Let me ask you some questions about faith. Which is a tough subject to talk about. Do we all worship the same God? Christian and Muslim?
George W Bush: I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty.
Gibson: Do Christians and non-Christians and Muslims go to heaven in your mind?
Bush: Yes they do. We have different routes f getting there.

Dave Hunt discussion from 1986
Hunt: The Vatican and the Roman Catholic church-it's Pope is currently leading the greatest ecumenical movement in history in order to unite all religions under Rome's leadership. In 1986, pope John Paul II gathered in Assisi, Italy the leaders of the world's major religions to pray for peace. There were snake worshippers, fire worshippers, spiritists, animists, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, North American witchdoctors. I watched in astonishment as they walked to the microphone to pray. The pope said they were all praying to the same God and that their prayers were creating a spiritual energy that was bringing about a new climate for peace. John Paul II allowed his good friend the Dalai Lama to put the Buddha on the altar in St. Peter's Church in Assisi and with his monks to have a Buddhist worship ceremony there, while Shintoists chanted, rang their bells outside.
The prophesied world religion is in the process of being formed before our eyes and the Vatican is the headquarters of the movement. Is this not spiritual fornication?
But that’s not all. This One World Religion also has a new symbol. Maybe you’ve seen it. It’s called COEXIST and it looks like this:
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has been planning for years to, “find a way to unite the world's major religions in an effort to help foster peace, and believes a new international organization will help make that dream a reality.”
Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, one of the two Chief Rabbis of Israel said, “We need a United Relations of Religions, which would contain representatives of the World’s Religions as opposed to nations. United the world’s faithful is key to world peace. We must promote a respect for the differences among various religions. A Church, a mosque, a synagogue or a holy temple must be embassies of God and we have to spread this idea to our believers.” He has suggested that the Dalai Lama could lead the assembly.
Muslim Leader Adnan Oktar recently met with three representatives from the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin, to discuss how religious Muslims, Jews and Christians can work together on rebuilding the Temple.” An official statement about the meeting has been published on the Sanhedrin’s website, “We are all the sons of one father, the descendants of Adam, and all humanity is but a single family. Peace among Nations will be achieved through building the House of G-d, where all peoples will serve.” Oktar added that the Temple, “Will be rebuilt and all believers will worship there in tranquility.” And, “The Temple could be rebuilt in one year.”6
Now folks, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m kind of thinking somebody’s taking this One World Religion kind of seriously, you know what I’m saying? Everybody’s promoting it! Even to the highest levels of society! Exactly like the Bible said would happen, when you are living in the Last Days!
(BREAK: PART 28)
But that’s still not all. The 2nd way we know we’re really headed for A One World Religion is due to a Watering Down of the Truth. That’s right folks, I’m talking about the Ecumenical Movement. And once again put yourself in the Antichrist’s shoes. You see if you’re going to deceive people into creating A One World Religion then you not only have to get rid of one religion being superior over another, but you must certainly get rid of any sense of absolute rights or wrongs, right? Why? Because if people still think there are genuine absolute rights and wrongs, then it going to mess up your attempts to get everyone saying all religions are right and that none of them is wrong, right? And this is precisely what the Ecumenical Movement is doing.
And for those of you who may not know, Ecumenicalism is defined as “the organized attempt to bring about the cooperation and unity of all believers.”7 And at the onset, that sounds pretty good. But what they don’t tell you it’s come to mean all believers, meaning even those outside of Christ, no matter what they believe, whether they believe in Christ or not! And their so-called “unity” is being sought not on the basis of truth, but from a “watered down version of it.” But people, I’m here to tell you, the Bible is clear. We Christians, genuine believers in Christ, do not join hands with somebody who’s preaching a “watered down version” of God’s truth, i.e. a lie! Rather the Bible says we need to come out from among them and be ye separate! I didn’t say that. God did.
2 Corinthians 6:14-17 “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
Folks, according to our text, the Bible clearly says that when it comes to unbelievers, i.e non-christians, what are we supposed to do? Hang out with them, witness to them, love them enough to tell them the truth about Jesus being the only way to heaven, because we’re concerned about their eternal destiny, but the last thing we ever want to do is to be what? Is to be to be “yoked” with them, right? The word “yoked” literally means there, “to bound together with or to have fellowship with.” Why? Because it’s like oil and water. It doesn’t mix! It can’t mix! It’ll never mix. Why? Because you cannot mix a lie with God’s perfect holy truth! And that’s Paul’s argument there! Why in the world would a born again Christian try to mix God’s truth with the devil’s lies! What do righteousness and wickedness have in common? What fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? In other words, how in the world can a Christian go along and link hands with this One World Religion? You cannot meld the two together! They deny that Jesus is the only way to heaven! And that’s why Paul writes, “Come out and from among them and be ye separate! Touch no unclean thing, including this lie of a One World Religion says the Lord! And yet, that’s exactly what the Ecumenical Movement is trying to get us to do!
And the 1st way they’re trying to get us to do that is by getting us to repeat the lie that We Just Need to Love. If only we would love each other, then peace will come to the planet, like this video shows.
United Religions Initiative
Peace. It should be the natural order?
Peace. Why is it so hard to find?
Peace. Why do people try so hard to prevent it?
Why do so many people divide, split and fracture the one face of humanity? Is there something you can do to heal the violence? Yes.
Religiously motivated violence can end. This is your invitation to be a Peacebuilder. In the year 2000, a unique global community took the initiative to end religiously motivated hate and violence by founding the United Religions Initiative. Because of URI, Indians and Pakistanians of diverse faiths are looking beyond the boundaries that divide them. Because of URI, Christian and Indigenous Peoples of Latin America are creating a new world of mutual respect. Because of URI, Jews, Muslims, Christians in the Middle East are learning that the only security is peace.
In just a few short years, the United Religions Initiative has spread to 50 countries on 5 continents. In a few short years, former enemies have stopped seeing each other as the “other” and started seeing each other as themselves.
B’Hai, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Zorastianism, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu. All around the world, URI is helping people experience the shared human face behind the different human faiths. Achieving on a deep, personal, spiritual level what can personal governments and organizations can unable to accomplish before. Now more than ever this initiative must become a shared initiative.
One neighborhood. One community. One region at a time.”8
Huh? Don’t you want to be a peace builder? Folks, how many of you have heard of this lying propaganda before? We just gotta love to bring peace to the planet. And here’s just one of the verses they quote out of context to suck us into it!
John 13:35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Well folks, there you have it, from the lips of Jesus Himself. We’re all supposed to love one another. Just join hands and link together with anyone and everyone, including people of different faiths and peace will come to the planet! Eeench! Wrong answer! First of all, peace only comes to the planet when the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ comes back to the planet! Hello! And as far as loving one another, yes we are to love one another, as Christians, not support those who support satanic lies! Yes, we are to be concerned about the lost, yes we are to pray for them, yes we love them enough to tell them the truth that Jesus is the only way to heaven, but we’re not to believe like them, and link hands with them! Why? Because it’s a lie! Jesus is the only way to heaven. I didn’t say the He did!
Besides, can we really “get along” with those who believe that we ourselves are gods, or that we’ll burn in a mythical place called purgatory where we purge away our sins in order to get into heaven, which is denying the cross? Can we really “join hands” with those who would have you and I believe that sin is just an illusion, or that hell is only make believe and that heaven for some men will be to endlessly satisfy their lusts with as many virgins as they want, which only happens after they kill a bunch of people? And can we really “get along” with those who are claiming to be Christians yet state that one has to keep the sacraments to be saved, or that satan doesn’t exist, or that Christ’s work on the cross is not secure? Can we really “join hands” and have fellowship with those who would have you and I believe that Jesus is not God but the archangel Michael, or worse yet, that He is the spirit-brother of satan himself…lucifer? I don’t think so! The answer is obvious! Come out from among them and be ye separate! Why? Because God says to! You cannot have fellowship with those who are leading people to hell! He doesn’t like that! Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at what’s going to happen to this One World Religion movement that says you just gotta love one another, during the 7-year Tribulation.
Revelation 18:4-8,23 “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.”
Can I tell you what one of those spells is? Just love! Link hands and join together with anyone and everyone no matter what they believe, including that Jesus is not the only way to heaven, and form a One World Religion so that peace can come to the planet. It’s all happening right now, right before our very eyes, and that’s exactly what the Bible said would happen, when you are living in the Last Days.
But that’s not all. The 2nd way the Ecumenical Movement is getting us to fall for the lie of a One World Religion is by getting us to repeat another lie and that is this…We Just Need to Tolerate. Huh? How many of you guys heard that one? You should NEVER JUDGE. You just need to tolerate. And here’s another verse they quote out of context to suck us into it.
Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Well folks, there you have it. The Bible says we should never judge another person, no matter what they believe, no matter what they say, we just love them and accept them, right? Wrong! Folks, I’m here to tell you this is another one of the biggest lies the enemy has thrust upon the Church in these Last Days. And the reason why I know is because if we weren’t supposed to judge anyone or anything, no matter what they say, believe, or do, including their supposed version of God then why did Jesus say this.
John 7:24 “Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.”
Folks, Jesus isn’t saying we should never judge! He didn’t say to never make a judgment. He said when you do judge make sure that it’s right! Get your facts straight! He said it right there! And if we’re really never supposed to judge, then why did the Apostle Paul say this?
1 Corinthians 6:1-5 “If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church! I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?”
Folks, I don’t know about you, but it sure sounds like we Christians are not only supposed to be judging, but we’re supposed to be judging up a storm, right? And so the question is, “Why in the world do people quote Matthew 7 and say we’re never supposed to judge? Well hello! They’re quoting it out of context! Matthew 7 is dealing with a hypocritical judgment where a person’s judging somebody of something when they themselves are guilty of doing the very same thing, if not worse! How do we know? Because the rest of the text says that the one person judging has a log in their eye and the other only has a speck of dust in their eye. But if you read the rest of the passage it doesn’t stop there. It doesn’t say don’t ever judge. It says first take the log out of your own eye and then you can what? You can rightly judge and remove the speck from the other person’s eye! The whole point of the passage, and John 7, is to not say that we’re never judge but just the opposite! It says to get rid of your hypocrisy first, get your facts straight first, so you can make a righteous judgment, right?
And yet, this is what the Ecumenical Movement is saying we should never do! That We Should Never Judge between right and wrong. We need to accept everything as right and nothing is wrong! And we just need to tolerate. But the problem is, they don’t tell you that they’ve changed the definition of tolerance. And here’s how they’re sucking us into it. Let’s take a look at what this guy says again.
Josh McDowell: Steeling the Mind of America: Tolerance
Some of you are saying, ‘Wait a minute, I thought tolerance was good?’ That’s the problem. That’s the problem! Little Johnny comes home from school and that very sincere Christian mother from the most fundamental evangelical church meets little Johnny and says, ‘How was school today?’
‘Oh Mommy.’
‘What you talk about?’
‘We talked about tolerance.’
And that Christian mother goes, ‘Oh that’s wonderful. You know Jesus told us to be tolerant.’
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! That mother is undermining everything she believes and it won’t take years. It will only take months to come back and haunt her. Your saying hold on a minute, I don’t get this. The reason is this. Right now there is two distinct definitions of tolerance. One, I call a historical traditional tolerance. It’s a one that almost everyone who is here has been conditioned to think by and how you’re listening to me through traditional tolerance. I am speaking from a whole new definition of tolerance. Traditional tolerance would be defined by Webster: To bear or put up with someone or something that is not specially liked. Or you know in our circles we say’, God has called me as a Christian to love the sinner but to hate the sin.’ That’s one of the most bigoted statements you could make today. You make that statement in the average classroom today and that entire class would turn on you. The bigotry and the intolerance to say, ‘Love the sinner hate the sin’ The reason is, there is a second definition of tolerance and I would say that 80% of the time, outside the walls of the church, when you hear the word tolerance whether the media, the magazines, the school or what - it’s not the tolerance you were conditioned to think by. It’s a whole new definition of tolerance, 80% of the time-it’s a new definition.
The tolerance you were brought up with is now referred to as negative tolerance. The new tolerance is called positive tolerance. It’s defined this way. Every single individuals values, beliefs, lifestyles and claims to truth are equal. Let me repeat that- ALL values, ALL beliefs, ALL truth, ALL lifestyles are equal and if you dare to say there is a value, belief, a lifestyle or claim to truth greater than another that is called hierarchy and that’s the new definition of bigotry. A bigot today has nothing to do with racism or anything. A bigot today is someone who’s committed to moral hierarchy that there’s differences in values and beliefs, lifestyles or claims to truth. Positive tolerance adds the word-praise. What it means is this- we not only want your permission, we demand your praise and if you do not my value, my lifestyle, my claim to truth as equal to your own--now listen to this--as equal to your from the heart you are a bigot and you are intolerant. From the heart. It’s called positive tolerance.
Let me show you just how it’s hit the church. Just in a little brief one. Can you tell me historically what has been the number one verse quoted from the scriptures by Christians and non-Christians, Christian young people, non-Christian young people, the media, everything. What’s the number one verse quoted historically by the scriptures. John 3:16. Do you know what it is now? Have you all been listening? Have you even been listening to your own young people? Can anyone tell me now, by far way out far from everything what’s the number one verse quoted even from Christian young people from the bible. Number one now, what is it? Judge not, that you not be judged. Listen! Why? The moment you make a judgment you’re saying there’s hierarchy and that makes you a bigot and intolerant and it makes you stand against the number one virtue in culture. Tolerance. All is equal. Christian love and the number one virtue of culture today cannot coexist. In fact, I’ll go as far as to say that Christian love is the number one enemy of the number one virtue in the culture: Tolerance.
In fact, men and women, I’ll say this. I believe now it’s a point as a pastor, as an evangelist-someone like that. It is very difficult to be popular and faithful. Jesus loved that woman at the well. And in love and compassion He said to her, ‘Go call you’re husband.’ she said, ‘sir, I don’t have a husband.’ And in loving compassion Jesus said, ‘That’s right. You’ve had five husbands and the one you’re living with right now is not you’re husband.’ Jesus exposed her lifestyle. He was witnessing to her. He exposed her lifestyle. Now speak to me. Did Jesus expose her lifestyle as an alternate lifestyle or a sinful lifestyle?
Audience: “Sinful lifestyle.”
Josh: “You’re a BIGOT! What right do you have to say that?! You’re INTOLERANT! Who do you think you are to think you have the corner on truth. What right do you have to make any moral judgment on someone!”
He did it in love. If you don’t believe me that that’s not true- you try it anywhere in culture right today. You just travel with me into the high schools and universities. And Jesus did it in love. Christian love and tolerance cannot coexist. We had better wake up.”9
Why? Because everything we believe in as Christians is at risk! Think about it! Because of this new definition of tolerance they put on us, we’re now going to become the new enemy of the state! All that we believe in, all of Christianity, all the Scripture is based on absolute right and wrongs! Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven, not one of many. The Bible declares that there is ONLY one God; not several or that we can become gods ourselves. The very Ten Commandments are all absolute judgments of what’s right and wrong from God! You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, etc. You cannot tolerate that!
PLUS, how can all values be equal? What if someone’s “value” was to molest his or her children? Is that right? Am I supposed to accept that? If you bought into the new definition of TOLERANCE you would have to say yes. Yet, every ounce of your being says NO! What if it was another person’s “value” to teach their children to steal for a living? What if it was a mother’s “value” to teach her daughter a fulfilling lifestyle called prostitution? What if father had a “value” he wanted to teach his son called being an abuser of women? Now can I tell you something? Some religions on the planet today do teach that! They treat women as prostitutes and they force into a subservient lifestyle and even kill them if they don’t like them. I’m supposed to accept that? In certain religious cultures today, people get their hands chopped off for stealing or their heads chopped off just for disagreeing. Do we agree with that? Should we tolerate that? I don’t think so! It’s true Biblical Christianity that’s freed people historically from these tyrannous belief systems by setting the standard of right and wrong!
And yet, the Ecumenical Movement says We Should Not Judge between right and wrong, and instead we need to tolerate anything as right and nothing as wrong, to being peace to the planet. And it’s all happening right now, right before our very eyes, even in the Church, just like the Bible said would happen, when you are living in the Last Days.
Oh, but that’s not all. The 3rd way the Ecumenical Movement is getting us to fall for the lie of a One World Religion is by getting us to repeat this lie…We Just Need to Rethink. You know what I’m saying? Don’t be harsh. Don’t be judgmental. Don’t be intolerant. Just “rethink” this idea of Jesus being the “only way to heaven” and that God is the “Only One” worthy of worship. Really? That’s not what the Bible says we need to be doing!
