It was like watching the organizing of the One World Religion.

At a meeting today of virtually every organized religious organization in America, and the media event including questions by the media afterwards, it was obvious to this writer that the persons who represented each of the religions have abdicated many of the beliefs of each of their respective faiths.

From Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Evangelicals, Episcopalians, to Protestants and Baptists. All called each other brothers and sisters. In an obvious joint effort to show how inclusive all religions are to other religions each speaker, from each organization, spoke about the need to recognize each others religion as a viable alternative and to be respectful of all religions and their respective rights to join in the overall religious community in America. A statement was even made that to visit the other religious services was a good thing to be able to see for ones self what “nice” people there were in the other religious services.

The consensus among the speakers was that Muslims were a peaceful people and their right to take their place among the other religions in America needed to be respected. To call Islam any thing other then a peaceful, respectable religion was bigoted.

If there is not an outcry from the leadership of one Christian denomination in this nation I can honestly say that today I can find no organized religion that a true follower of Jesus can call home. For virtually every organized religion in America to send a representative to that meeting to welcome Islam as a legitimate form of religion is indicative of the demise of all organized religions who can call themselves the Church of Jesus.

I was dumbfounded! I wasn’t sure I would live to see the advent of the end times but I now believe we are very close.

It's time, for those of us who are true believers that Jesus is our only Savior, to unite and hold true to Biblical truth.

Who, what, when, where, how and why would be interesting to know before I can assess your story and conclusion.

It makes me glad I belong to an independent church, without any ties to larger denominations.

I’m sorry. I forgot to mention that it was carried on CSPAN today a 2pm EDT.

To make matters worse. Or rather clearer. It is Islam which will end those other religions in only a few decades. We will have a one world religion. But it won’t be some warm fuzzy do nothing religion. It will be Islam and a brutal world surpression of liberty.

This had nothing to do with the Beck rally or anything to do with Beck himself.

The stated purpose for the meeting was the anti Muslim sentiment surrounding the Ground Zero Mosque and the burning of the Koran in Florida.

One of the stated purposes was to show the Muslim world that a majority of America isn’t bigoted against Muslims.

Where did this occur? When? Who sponsored it? What was the purpose of the meeting? Who attended? This is entirely too vague to have any credibility. Long on your opinion and short on facts.

Beck already did that 10 days ago..

he had Islamic Imams on the stage with him..

Linking arms with the Islamics to show

“the Muslim world (and the rest of us) that a majority of America isn’t bigoted against Muslims”

or their beliefs...

After all Glenn Beck said in his September 2, 2010 TV program

“We need a Jesus or a Buddha.”

and

“This weekend is a God event, not a Christian event” (Glenn Beck, at the end of his TV show, August 25, 2010)

Well, my kids see how much my sweetheart of 32 years and I enjoy each others' company, and they look forward to the delights of the nuptial bed as well. The youngest are 12 and 14 -- the baby was our 20th anniversary present, with a due date that coincided with that auspicious date!

Not to worry -- real Bible Christianity is advancing, not retreating.

Real Bible Christianity doesn't participate in the American state church, and does not surrender its future to agents of the State, or of Satan, or of the Satanic state. God is at work, even here in the USA. A reformation is in progress, and glorious things can be anticipated.

I still pray that the day will come when I can lift up mine eyes to the night sky, and invoke God's favor on descendants who are glorifying Him with their work on the moon, and/or on Mars. Life in Him is great, and the best is yet to come!

Either Jesus is God our He isn’t. That is a binary. You choose one side or the other. There’s no compromise possible when you have a dichotomy.

I wish it were that simple. While I agree with you, and with what I believe is your meaning as well as your words, there are those who will say that Jesus is God, except . . .

You get to heaven by being a "good enough" person, not through the sacrifice of the living God . . .

Following Jesus is really all about being kind, and generous, and helping the poor (including the help that comes at the point of a gun through government taxation). If you pay your taxes, and vote for those who redistribute that wealth to the poor then you're following Jesus and will go to heaven . . .

. . . and that bit about turning over the money lenders tables in the Temple is not really relevant any more in contemporary society, because Jesus was not judgmental or anything "bad" like that . . .

And while Jesus was (notice how often they say "was", not "is") the Son of God, so was Mohammed, and Buddha (see "Oh, God" with George Burns and John Denver) . . .

And though Jesus was God, he was only a Spirit who wasn't at the same time fully human. It wasn't like he gave up a real, human life in the most gruesome death the Roman knew how to perform.

I have corresponded and talked with people who say that they believe Jesus was the Son of God, who at the same time pick and choose the parts of Scripture that they want to consider important. Rather than accepting Jesus as Lord and Christ, they just want someone to welcome them to heaven after they have 'earned' their way there by being nice, non-judgmental people.

I worship God, not the Bible, but if you have to express a dichotomy I think it has to be: You either accept that ALL Scripture is God-breathed and useful for instruction, or you're declaring yourself to be God by making up your own doctrine - even if that doctrine pays lip service to some selected "convenient" Christian teachings, including that Jesus was somehow 'special'.

Has anyone heard Randy Newman’s take on this? From the “God Song”:

The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV....
