It is foretold in the Bible. If you believe that the Bible is God's word, then it isn't a "nut" conspiracy. It is just the truth.
But have no fear--God has a plan.
Have you been in a Unitarian Universalist church lately?
Drop in some time and see who is attending.
Would you mind elaborating? I am seriously interested in your perceptions of what is going on in the church that you mentioned.
HELL NO!!! I stopped going when I left home many many decades ago. That is my parent's "Church".
I am not a follower or believer in the Bible as it is translated by King James, New International, etcetra. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but not these translations of His word.
The Unitarians have a long history in America. Both Presidents Adams are interred in a Unitarian Universalist church.
Unitarians dropped any reference to Christ and the Cross sometime near the end of the 1800's as I recall.
I would characterized modern Unitarians as Spiritual Humanists. They talk of spirit as not to mean a reference to the God of Jews and Christians, but more as a collective consciousness. In my home state, their congregations look like freak shows. They reach out for members of any religion and misfits like homosexuals, bi's, and transsexuals
They are one-worlders.
Why? I'd never heard of this theory (or movement), let alone that George W. Bush, who is a Methodist, is somehow involved in it. So, that is why I posted it, to see what FR members know about it.
How does the posting of the article demonstrated being "troubled?" It amounts to a query, on my part. Kindly explain.

I'm glad you did post it. I have no idea about any possible Bush involvement, but it is a very real and growing movement. And it is anti-Christian. Few paid attention to the secularist movement until it was too late and many FReepers try to warn of the socialist movement with little luck. People need to expand their horizons a little and start paying attention. Thanks again.
Thank you very much and from what you say, I agree they are, indeed, one-worlders. Not Christians, but the god of the cosmos-type believers.
Well, now I AM "troubled." This is troubling indeed.
Thank you for the information.

Most Christians would take that to be an explicit endorsement of a "many ways to God" religion by a man who claims the name of Christ.
More likely that Presidnt Bush is trying to express a theological position that there is some truth in most great religions, this is not a new concept. To avoid offending those present he did not continue by saying Christianity Is all the Truth.
Thanks for the link. However, the following is from their website and I would like to know how the establishment of a world religion be ascertained from this:
ThPreamble
We, people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions throughout the world, hereby establish the United Religions Initiative to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.
We respect the uniqueness of each tradition, and differences of practice or belief.
anks for the link. However, this is from the link and I would like to know how the establishment of a world religion can be seen in this:
The responses you get on this thread will prove the point, just watch,
Billy Graham said the same thing on the Larry King show, maybe that is where the president picked up that notion.
I have heard him say this a few times too. It does trouble me. I know that he has to represent all people, but there needs to be another way instead of throwing Jesus out ont he curb to make these people feel good about America.
"Have you been in a Unitarian Universalist church lately?

About two months ago the Houston Chronicle Sunday paper had a several page pull out on the Unitarian Church. There was a lot of interesting information in there about that church and it was all scary. They sound all nice and friendly, but just like what will happen in the one world religion, you have to throw Jesus out the door.
"More likely that President Bush is trying to express a theological position that there is some truth in most great religions, this is not a new concept. To avoid offending those present he did not continue by saying Christianity Is all the Truth"
*sigh* there are spiritual consequences for this. He would not have to say that. He could have said something along the lines of "My faith teaches that Jesus is the way to heaven and you have different faiths that talk about where you go. But the point is that America accepts whatever faith you have and you can live here in peace...He does not have to water down his own faith to do this.
