Greetings!

In the Baha'i view, "one world religion" has nothing whatever to do with the so-called "end of the world" (which in fact is actually a mistranslation of a phrase meaning "end of the Age"), but rather is a very beautiful and desireable state toward which we are all gradually progressing! :)

Best,

Bruce

I dont think a one world religion will ever happen. We all disagree waaay too much anyway.

To the poster above: Some dont think there should be a religion whatsover.

Im personaly of the view that religion should be individual and not run by the state (but could be sponsored by the state).

Id love to see the world not run by religion but by people who even if they beleive, run the world without (dominance) over others because of their religious views.

That's what I often think. I've only heard evangelicals mention this, and have believed it. Does it actually say in the Bible there will be one world religion?

I know when Jesus returns, yes there will be. But before His return ... well who knows ... but God. We know Jesus has come and will return again.

When He returns again though, the Jews will recognise and accept Him, and mourn for what they had done to Him; but that's all after the Son of Perdition (Anti-Christ) has been revealed, which is the false Messiah.

So if there is a false Messiah, does that equate to a one world religion or system? or only for the Jews? Do Muslims and Christians, Buddhists etc carry on with our beliefs?

If Israel is defeated by the Arabs, will they convert to Islam? But somehow I don't think so, because they know their Messiah will be from the House of Judah, not the House of Ishmael (Arabs???).

As the book of Revelation is directed to Christians, the great apostacy must mean Christians convert to another faith, maybe they may follow the anti-Christ (whoever he be, whether he be a Muslim or a Jew). Because they think the anti-Christ is actually the real Christ as he has brought peace to the Middle-East.

I can understand why we may follow him, because we know Jesus is the King of Peace, but the timing will not be correct. The real Jesus Christ will return to mete out vengeance to His enemies (sorry it sounds bleak) AND then there is peace and the new millennium .... well so we think.

Should be pretty exciting. Pretty amazing the Koran and Bible mention the Lord Jesus returning for the Jews again.:)

zeph 1:15 That day [is] a day of Wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers. 17 "I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse."

http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/antichrist/antichrist1.htm

Innumerable works have been written, countless sermons have been preached, and myriads of tracts have been circulated on the subject of antichrist. The one outstanding feature, however, which attracts one's attention and which must be very perplexing to the average individual, is the confusion which exists, and which characterizes all such efforts. Generally speaking, every scholar has a different doctrine, and every teacher a different understanding of who the antichrist is or will be. And hence, as all doctrines cannot be correct, all therefore must be wrong, with the exception of one.

No that is not what we believe. why would vengeance and wrath follow?.... i have no clue..

The false Messiah brings in peace (probably after a major war in the Middle East i.e. Gog and Magog war), but after that he reveals himself to be the anti-Christ, and causes laws to be changed, many horrible things he does, which stirs the wrath of God, (like persecuting and killing Christians), then vengeance and wrath follows because the real Jesus Christ will come down from heaven with His archangels and with His Saints (those taken up by a rapture before this happens).

The bible speaks in Ezekial something that is really described as nuclear war (eyes melting into the backs of their sockets, etc). But it's not over because then a new millennium comes into existence. But then there are many more ages to come. After the millennium there is another huge war which I assume would be Armageddon. But other Christians have differing opinions.

And who ever attacks Jerusalem will reel backwards like a drunk (can't remember where that is, but it's in one of the prophetic books). Many nations go against Jerusalem, but by God's power He makes them act drunkenly. If someone desperately wants chapter and verse, I will have to do a search in a concordance.

I think this one world religion thing, if imposed, will be a false sort of Christianity. In United Nations stuff they talk about God and the Christ and one world religion but they never mention Jesus. This is because it is not Jesus Christ, but the antichrist and it is not God they speak of; it is Lucifer.

Are you sure?

I would expect the UN to focus on more important things, like poverty?

The UN wants a one world religion?

I believe the Anti-Christ will be a pagan and promote universalism except Christianity as they are exclusivists (So probably branded as terrorists- partially now).

Interestingly there are mentions of Messiah in many pagan religions such as Hinduism and it goes 1 on 1 with the description Anti-Christ in bible!

Based on the avatars that seem most popular on this site, I'd say the one world religion we're heading for is Jedi-ism.... pity, I'd have pushed for PanDeism, which after all contains all other religions, as it contains all things in the Universe....

The Muslims are not exclusivists?
The Jews who have outspokenly believed that Christian doctrine is an abomination to God are not exclusivists?
After centuries of steadfastly maintaining that their religion is "the" Truth, they will all happily join a pagan religion and worship it's founder as God?
Somehow Christian descriptions of the end-times seem to forget that it is not only Bible-believing Christians who are exclusivists.

Interestingly there are mentions of Messiah in many pagan religions such as Hinduism and it goes 1 on 1 with the description Anti-Christ in bible!
Please quote those non-Christian Scriptures.

Secondly, perhaps all those prophecies will be fulfilled by the same Person, not an "anti-Christ" but Someone Who be God's Representative to all humanity, and will explain that the world's religions came from the same Source of Truth (in other words, God).

The "anti-christ" was already around when "John" wrote his epistles.

These "anti-christs" are the ones inside the "church" dressed as sheep, but inside are "ravenous wolves". Why do you think Christianity is so "divided" today? It is the "devil" at work inside her!!! :wave:

http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/antichrist/antichrist1.htm

.......When John spoke of certain people which were a type of antichrist which was to come, he did not refer to all opposers of Christ. Instead, he referred to a certain class of people - apostates who were teaching things that were contrary to the revelation imparted by the Holy Spirit!............

..........We have tried the ANTICHRIST WAY now for nineteen long centuries, and it has been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Is it asking too much for once to cast all that aside, just as Jesus asked the people to do in His day, and simply COME UNTO HIM?...........

............The fact that the traditional doctrine of antichrist as some individual superdeceiver-maniac yet to emerge upon the world scene with international political power has been, and is now held and taught fervently by the HARLOT CHURCH SYSTEMS, is itself a plea that IT MUST BE ERROR. If BABYLON staunchly believes it, arrogantly teaches, it, continuously preaches it, loudly proclaims it, dogmatically defends it, and resolutely demands it - then, dear child of God, must it not, in all probability, be WRONG?
